Stat Attack v Crewe
W 41 / D 25 / L 32
Rovers lost the last match v Crewe 3-1 back in April 2016. The last win v Crewe was in December 2015.
:scarf:
-
And what a win that was! Should have been out of sight at HT but we weren't and it was looking like a 1-1 going into the 90th minute or so, when they took the lead. We all know the rest!
Am hoping for a less stressful finish tomorrow, as I am going!

Chucking it down over this way,ive bottled it and staying at home,ashamed of myself! :ohmy:

ROVERS XI | Marosi, Richardson, Butler, Wright, Evina, Houghton, Blair, Rowe, Coppinger, Marquis, Williams #drfc
ROVERS SUBS | Etheridge, Mandeville, Beestin, Calder, Pugh, Fielding, Middleton #DRFC

That does look again like a 4-4-2 set up unless Houghton is playing at back.
DFP say Richardson at RB. Presume Evina is at LB. Wright and Butler at CB. Potentially with Houghton in back line as part of the failed 5-3-2 formation.

Oops been up since 5 (4) everythings a bit fuzzy - gives me something to look forward to anyway
-
One give away goal in 4 games, this defense even when personnel is shifted around is starting to gain some strength.. Williams banging them in at the other end can only mean good times :-)
-
Looks like a strong attacking bench, the beast and Calder will be desperate to get some game time after Tuesday.

MORE LIKELY 4-1-3-2 as recently with Houghton in front of the back four.

Yes & a young bench too.
-
Damn 😡 1-0 down.
-
Crewe 1-0 ahead, Ryan Lowe unmarked for a free header two yards out.
-
Arse biscuits!!!!
-
And Curtis Main has put Portsmouth in front. 🙄
-
need to step it up
-
According to radio sheff very poor defending.free header.
-
Hit on the counter, again
COYR
-
Shit defending as usual
-
Sky say we were well on top until the goal
Plenty of time to go
COYR
-
We are on top apart from their goal!
-
Copps and Williams missed chances ... at least we are making them.
-
Scoring first there last season didn't work out too well.........
-
Shit defending as usual
the recent ammount of goals conceded would suggest it's not as usual...

We'll be fine.

Almost an og - deflection of their defender loops onto the crossbar..

Natural selection at work?
Maybe at this level fewer goals will be of brilliant attacking quality?
-
We have defended well lately.
A Coppinger ball into the box has just been deflected onto the bar.
Could have gone in.
Next ball in from Rowe almost makes a goal for Williams.
We are getting on top again.

Bore off!

Plenty of time to go. Cmon Rovers! :scarf: :scarf:
-
Marquis heads wide from another Copps ball in.
-
A great chance, 3 on 3.
Marquis squares to Williams who fails to get a touch.
Apparently too much pace on the ball across goal.
-
seems like we will get back into this just hope they dont score again
come on donny lets do this

Glass half empty again? Ain't most goals conceded due to poor defending..
The 3 clean sheets out of 4 before today was due to good defending. I know which scenario i'd rather highlight.
-
Williams threw himself at that one. Cross was over hit..
-

That's what they said on the radio commentary IDM.

Sounds like the ref is a right w**ker again
-
Main has scored again
-
He's just missed a tackle from behind as we were attacking..
-
0-1 at half time.. They got a breakaway goal but otherwise Doncaster are playing quite well..
-
Main has scored again
assisted both times by former Rovers players too
-

Marquis was booked for coming back onto the pitch without permission.

To be fair to us it was a quality cross for the goal..

I reckon Curtis is a confidence player and if he plays regularly he will get goals.
-
Superb cross for their goal. Can't remember who was defending the scorer, Wright or Richardson, but he checked behind him, saw their player, the cross came in and he'd lost him. Can't let him stay blind side and expect him to be next to you.
That aside, we are playing well, creating decent chances and looking worth a goal or two.

Listening to the radio commentary Beerseller that is just how it sounds.
I just hope we can get an early goal because i reckon we can win this one.
-
Crewe almost get a second but Lowe blazes over the bar when he should have scored.
-
Keshi Anderson scores for Bolton
-
The second half is being streamed on Facebook. Nice...
-
How do you watch the live stream? It just shows as a picture of crewe' ground
-
Well, it's streaming for me... If you don't see an arrow on that photo then it might not be working for you.
-
just hit the post again!
-
Keeper claws one off the line
-
I can see it but the video is small and won't allow me to make it full screen. ggrr..
-
I feel a goal for us is coming along.
-
Just not going for us today
-
Marosi just made his second great save of the half.
-
Newports game abandoned, waterlogged pitch.
-
Middleton and Calder on for Wright and Richardson.
-
Rovers all over Crewe. Ref not having a good game either.
-
As it stands, if we score we will go back to third.
-
:suicide: Another chance goes begging.
-
Off the line twice in the last few minutes
-
FFS we should have won this one.
-
another chance just wide!
-
PENALTY to us.
-
Penalty rovers
-
penalty to Rovers! Tommy Rowe to take
-
pen
-
1-1! :scarf:
-
Yeszsssssss

Get in!!! Tommy Rowe 1-1
-
yeeeessssssss 1-1
-
We can still win this.

Just said on sky we should have had 6!!
-
It's coming surely?

Thought Williams would have stepped up, especially after last week..
-
COME ON DONNY ! :scarf:

Was that an echo?
-
2-1 to crewe :(
-
b*llocks. 2-1.

How the Fook have we gone and done that.
2-1 to Crewe.
-
oh ffs
-
Talk about against the run of play...
-
Gggrrrr
-
Just can't keep their concentration
-
Again giving away late goals when we should be seeing the game out and taking the point
-
Good Afternoon everyone, not a good time to join the conversation :) This is the first League game I've predicted a win, I hope I haven't jinxed the team.
-
Crewe. two shots on target, two goals.
-
Again giving away late goals when we should be seeing the game out and taking the point
No we should have been going for the win.. Which we were..
-
What the Deuce ?
-
Marosi will be dropped to the bench next week
-
ROvers player says 6 shots on target for us and 4 for Crewe. Stats like everything else I guess. Personal interpretations.

Is that a personal vendetta then?

Inability to take chances has cost us. And crap defending

A point would have took us 3rd and 2 points behind top spot
For now we are 5th and 3 points behind top with another hard away game next week

Unbelievable - with a bit more composure in front of goal w would have won that easily..
Decent performance though.. Sometimes you'll do almost everything right and end up with nowt..

no point in looking at tables this early in the season - we're only 7 points above bottom place!
-
According to commentary not Marosi problem is our defence.somone who has been to game will probably pinpoint who is to blame.we have had so many chances but let easy goals in.
-
Are you saying that it isn't better to be third rather than sixth? BJW?
-
Now down to 6th and got to play 2nd in table next week should mean we will do well
-
More like sharp finishing by crewe..
Blair was quiet, and until Calder came on we had no outlet down the left..
Richardson looks good for this level, needs to catch up with fitness..
-
As bad defensively as back in April, they had one or two up front with a bit of quality and we were found out, unless we sort the problem the cost us last season this season will be a massive disappointment.
-
Well, we ought to have scored 3 or 4 but credit to Crewe, they defended like their lives depended on it and we didn't. We were well on top for large parts of the game, did pretty much as well as we could with most chances and on another day would have come out easy winners.
I was at the wrong end of our terrace to see much of their second. Seemed to go under Marosi and I don't think he did a lot wrong. For their first he had no chance.

I think a settled back 4 will also do the world of good.
-
I won't be predicting a win against Morecambe ;)
-
Goals win games we must be more clinical with the chances created if we don't we won't progress.
PRESS | DARREN FERGUSON | We weren't ruthless enough. We've been on a good run & we'll have to go on another #DRFC
DF | I'm not disappointed with the overall performance but you win the game in both boxes & we haven't and we should have #DRFC
-
We have some good players yet to feature. We'll be right.
-
The thing is though, we have lost two games in the final minutes that we shouldn't have.
We are giving teams around us an advantage that they shouldnt have over us.
-
Marosi shouldn't be dropped did 2 or 3 good saves
-
We had 56% possession against 44%
We had 16 shots against 6.
We had 7 shots on target against 4.
We should have won today. The best attacking players were playing today, no better injured or on the bench. So they must improve.
-
Marosi shouldn't be dropped did 2 or 3 good saves
Fergie has form for dropping keepers after a loss though doesn't he.

Will he drop any of the attacking players having failed to take chances, you can't do one without the other.

Don't know, does he?
We drew the game before etheridge was dropped

But the situation is asymmetric since the introduction of 3 points per win. If you go for a late winner from an equal score late in a match on 10 occasions and lose 5 matches and win 5 you will have 5 points more than if you draw all 10. I would rather win and lose a few than draw them all.
-
Fair enough Dickos, it was after a draw but following a defeat.
Etheridge took blame for goals in both games.
Also, Stuckman was on the end of such a decision wasn't he.
-
Marosi has not made any howlers though.
-
Marosi has not made any howlers though.
I don't think he should be dropped.
Dickos must have thought Fergie might do so though because it was him who brought the subject up.
I just added that Ferguson has form in that area.
-
It was me who brought it up??
Don't think it was
-
Marosi shouldn't be dropped. The first goal was down to Evina and Wright. Not sure about the second but it came from a free header at the back post.
Marosi made a couple of good saves. One was very good indeed.

But who says we will win 5 games, take the point when you have it and don't throw it away. That point may be important come the end of the season.

Crewe man of the match poll up now: http://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/index.php?topic=258584.0
Hopefully be a few more votes than usual for an away game dues to so many of us watching the stream :)

We equalised with around 10 mins to go in a game we had dominated both possession and chances. Of course we should be going for the win!
-

I just watched the Ch5 goals programme - for their second the Crewe player got a slight touch/deflection to the original shot. That is what beat Marosi.

-
I'm sorry but at 1-1 with 8-10 mins to go in a game we are dominating, after a 4 match winning run and being in the top 3 early in the season, we should go for the win.
That doesn't mean we should be careless in defence mind.. However their second took a big deflection.

By the way, going more defensive is not always a guarrantee of not losing the match. How many times have we seen Rovers (or other teams) sit back and then concede anyway.
I guess we will just have to agree to differ in opinions Glos

I don't necessarily think we should have sat back after we levelled but i do think we shouldn't have gone gung ho for the win.
A bit of consolidation after we scored so we didn't concede and we still might have gone on to win the game but would have been less likely to lose it.
The radio commentators mentioned that it was likely to bite us in the bum and they were proven to be right.
