Stat Attack v Wycombe
W0 / D1 / L2
Rovers have never beaten Wycombe Wanders in the Football League, losing on both occasions back in the 93/94 season.
The last time both teams met was in the 3rd round of the League Cup 10 years ago this month, losing on penalties after the match finished 2-2 after extra time; Jonathan Forte and Graeme Lee the scorers.
:scarf:
-
Morning everyone. I predict a Rovers win :rtid:
-
I will be there doing my usual shouting and balling.
I hope we play with a back four today and if we do we should have enough to win today.
i would like to see Beestin get a start ahead of Mandeville.
-
could be the beest v the beast !.
-
I wonder if Akinfenwa will get the "you fat bas###d " chant?
-
I'm at Lakeside and I've just seen Marosi with Lund and Williams, maybe a sign he's out injured today like the other two or I'm just reading too much into who he gets a lift with.
-
I found it very strange that Fergie made no mention of the injury to marosi (as an excuse) in the short after match interview on radio Sheffield
made me think it might be blackball time for him to add to the list but i'm guessan
-
ROVERS | Etheridge, Mason, Baudry, Butler, Evina, Houghton, Blair, Calder, Rowe, Coppinger (c), Marquis #drfc
ROVERS SUBS | Jones, Wright, Middleton, Mandeville, Beestin, Keegan, Garratt
-
Calder :/
-
I think Calder gets a start hopefully to give us a bit of width on the left? He has a bit to prove and now is his chance..
There must be quite a few of us here today who were at the only other 3 fixtures vs Wycombe? Time for that first win methinks..
-
Looks like Calder playing centre mid along with Houghton. Evina 'playing' on left flank.
-
Radio Sheffield thought the formation would be 4 4 1 1 so that could mean Calder on the left?
-
We could really do with Keegan being up for some match time, fingers crossed he's getting there and has his best match head on when his time comes.
-
What does Garratt have to do to get a start?
-
Let's hope Akinfenwa doesn't crash into Etheridge :chair:
-
Coppinger put one wide from a foot out
-
Looked offside so will let him off
-
There was no flag
-
Losing. Keeper came for a cross he was never going to get
-
No surprise :-/
We have to take our chances better than what it sounds. No comment on the keeping...
-
Balls.
-
Bugger
-
We really miss Williams.
-
There was no flag
No there wasn't - I only said it looked offside and I am more or less inline..
-
We really miss Williams.
Can't see how he would have prevented a goalie error!
We are trying some good stuff just not working right yet.. their defence looks quite soft too keep running at them IMHO..
-
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Rowe! :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
-
Gerrin!
-
Great goal!
-
Marquis!!!!!!!!!!!! That seemed to take forever :laugh:
:scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
-
Marquis!!! 2-1
-
Yeeeessss !!!!
-
Marquis de Happy
-
Marquis de Happy
Strictly speaking should that not be Marquis de Happye ;)
-
We are cutting through their defence yet creating mainly half chances.. there are more goals in this..
-
6 mins of added time in 1st half !? Seems a lot, why was that ?
-
Supposed to be 4. Their player laid in goal mouth for a bit gone 45. Probably about right with all the stoppages.
-
Wycombe are playing ugly ugly football! Elbows and niggles everywhere - we should be really putting these to the sword second half!
-
There were quite a few injuries requiring treatment on the pitch, including one at the end of the 45 mins. The added on time was about right..
-
Not sure if Rowe will be out for the second half
-
Beeeeeeeeeeeeest
-
Beeeeeeeeeeeeest
Actually 2 beasts replacing two Rowes :silly:
-
Wycombe now in 23rd place - the mid to bottom of this league is sooo tight. Good for us with teams nicking points off each other, widening the gap between the top three and the rest.
-
We need to win this given that Carlisle are thumping Crawley.
-
who's going to take the penalty IF (when !!!.) rovers get one ?

Captain Copps

Has to be Beeeeeest!

Paul Hayes.... Now there's a name. He played alongside Browny at Preston in the second division. He played that day we won the first match of the season 2-0 at Deepdale. He was a fair player in his day. Sounds today though like he's degenerated into a thug..

I think he had spells at Barnsley and Scunthorpe........... that would explain it ;)
-
Not getting many 50 50 calls from the ref and Wycombe are playing to that.. first yellow card after 75 minutes..
-
Etheridge is a liability. Not good enough for this league
-
Feck! Etheridge again :facepalm:
-
FFS.
-
Etheridge 😂😂😂
-
f**k sake
-
Why did he sign this waster?
-
Oh dear... That could really damage that lad very badly.
Bob
-
He's a professional footballer. This should not damage him. Just work harder to make sure you better yourself.
-
Oh dear... That could really damage that lad very badly.
Bob
Not sure he could get any worse. Nearly as bad as Weavers neighbour.

Yes he's made a few BIG mistakes, but he's clearly got potential, definitely not deserving of that kind of criticism.
-
I suppose your point of view will depend upon whether or not you believe he might turn into a decent keeper one day. Fergie obviously did. He bigged him up a lot when he signed him. More than he had to. So unless you think Fergie is a waster, there really is a goalie in there somewhere. That's why this is going to damage him very badly. The views on here show it already is. Charity isn't part of the lexicon these days.

Two points unnecessarily dropped, could matter come end of season.

There's lack of charity and being a prat.
He's young and talented, and having a 'mare.
-
We can't afford those kind of mistakes, it will cost us in the long run
-
Doesn't help with our d**khead fans booing him and sarcastically cheering when he catches the ball.
w**kers.
-
Well, yes. Keepers are supposed to keep, not fluff. But arguably we should have been out of sight long before that.
-
Not good enough in taking advantage of our dominance... and Etheridge :unsure:
-
What's not affording 2 points dropped got to do with anything? The subject under discussion is the impact upon that lad of the mistakes he's made today. Points are irrelevant to that debate. But then, I suppose you're one of the many, many who live for immediate gratification and can't understand the implications and consequences of thinking longer term. C'est la vie.
Cheers
BobG
PS Sorry BRR! That's s not aimed at you or anyone like you! It's a more general reference to some of the opinions expressed higher up.
-
One mistake in the game is forgivable.. but two??
Keep the player and improve him but he's second choice from now on if Marosi is fit..
-
Dropping points is very relevant, it could means the difference between automatic promotion and being in the play-offs.
-

I'd loan him out when we have the chance and bring in someone experienced for the rest of the season to compete with Marosi. Fergie says he has potential so need to be playing bit he could also do with being away from our shit fans yelling abuse at him.
-
In the heat of the moment after he fluffed the second one, in a game we should be winning, you can understand the fans' frustrations..
He wasn't good enough today and you will get that immediate response from fans - longer term the lad should be given a chance, but today he cost us two goals and that cannot be ignored!
-
I hope Marosi is fit by next weekend, and I never thought I'd hear myself saying that!

There was also a chorus of the Marco Marosi song.

I'm not suggesting Etheridge is the goalie we want right now. Nor am I denying two real clangers. Instead, I am suggestsing knee jerk reactions that do not take into account the very highly laudatory views of his manager, his youth and his potential do everyone involved a great disservice. He will be feeling like total shit tonight. If you think he's garbage then you must also include Fergie in that assessment. If you think he has potential, then failing to understand that does him, you and everybody else an equally great disservice. He's hurting already. Amateur bystanders sticking the boot in achieves nothing.
And Les: dropping points is releant to a discussion of consequences and of league tables. It is totally irrelevant to the discussion we were having about the events of the afternoon doing the guy harm. You have to recognise what the point under debate.

Calder :/
Calder played very well today.
-
He did indeed, and apart from one over hit cross late on, so did Evina...

The thread isn't called "Discuss he potential impact of negative fan reactions on Ross Etheridge", it's called Doncaster vs Wycombe, so of course talking about two points dropped in this thread is relevant.
Also, I don't think anyone not rating Etheridge means they must automatically not rate Ferguson as a manager. His old man was one of the best there's ever been but I could name a dozen players he signed and evidently (at least initially) rated - doesn't mean he was rubbish.
That said, I am very disappointed with that sort of reaction at the game. It's never going to help.

Mmmmm, atmosphere? Black Bank? Thought the idea was to get behind the team and create an atmosphere. That's twice now, once with ATS and now Etheridge. It creates an atmosphere alright, toxic
