With a win in this match I think the 1st place is 90% secured

I think you are right . Will you be able to come over from Bucharest to see us lift the trophy ?

Sadly, no. I managed to have the money that I think I need to live there 2-3 months, but I have to wait the entire april to see what is with Brexit. And if it will still be okay, then at the end of may/beginning of june, I'll come there.

To spend a few days there, as a holiday, to see the last match at home it would be expensive for me. Only the plane it will cost 200 euros with the return in Bucharest (and my wage here is 350 euro/month :laugh:)

I'll be at the game today but won't be updating the lucky pint thread too much.  That's because with no other fixtures I won't be checking for the other scores every 5 minutes!

Folks who can will be watching on TV, so I guess the thread may be quite.  I might pop on at half time though..

We need 2 more wins to guarantee promotion, probably less assuming teams like Stevenage and Luton can't win all their remaining games.  With the match today, then Grimsby away starting earlier than the rest of the fixtures, we could be promoted before Stevenage and Luton etc next kick a ball!!!

Good morning everyone! This the big, big, big  game. 3 points will take us on the brink of promotion, and make the title clearly in our favour.

Not nice when players try to kid the ref for a pen ,even if it's one of your own players.

Looks like a good crowd

Rowe could have stayed on his feet and got a shot off. Poor decision to go down.

Don't understand why some players go down before contact.Keep going if contact,then go down easily if you want,but it annoys me when they start bending foot back before any contact is due.

Obvious dive. Nobody around me agreed with me at the time though. Good old south stand.

What a good save by the pilgrims keeper

Better team so far. Marquis unlucky with that header.

Amazing save by McCormick. Not sure how he reacted enough to push that away.

Much the better team first half. Played some lovely stuff. Could have been 2 or 3 up. Plymouth only really threatened from a couple of set pieces. Just keep doing what we are doing and surely the goals will come. Entertaining game.

Post by: RobTheRover on March 26, 2017, 03:37:40 pm
Copps almost caught that strike too cleanly. Hit it into the ground and it goes in.
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v Plymouth Argyle
Post by: IDM on March 26, 2017, 03:39:42 pm
We have had a couple of snap chances that some fans think were good saves, but looking again they were straight at him.. Marquis' header goes 18 inches wider and it's in..
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v Plymouth Argyle
Post by: IDM on March 26, 2017, 03:41:27 pm
And Copps' blind flick with his back to goal - that falls to Marquis to volley in and it would be goal of the season.. that's a 36 year old 4th division player too!!
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v Plymouth Argyle
Post by: not on facebook on March 26, 2017, 03:44:04 pm
Rovers don't need the win as much as Plymouth do in this game ,hence a draw still keeps the pilgrims at a good arms length away from us.

Title: Re: TLO Doncaster v Plymouth Argyle

The chance from grant was a good save though..

Some fair comments from the Argyle forum:

Right now there's a league 1 team out there and there's a league 2 team

Take a 0-0 Draw right Now !

Phewwwwww great to be 0 - 0 halftime, but we cannot push our luck to much more - we need some rest for our defenders. Great saves from Luke and great blocking.

A blinding save from our keeper and a great block on the line. Great defending is part of the game as well as great attacking. Good half Greens. Spencer getting pilloried when he is living on scraps. Standard first half away performance by the sounds of it.

A good defensive display. We are still in the game and it's set up for us to have a right go for the winner in the last 15 minutes.

HT, flat atmosphere here. We're sitting off too much, sometimes it works but not to this extent.

A real backs to the wall display so far. Maybe a break away goal to sneak the win 2nd half. Doncaster are showing why they're top of the league. COYG

I haven't been to any away games this season but from reading many reports, this does appear to be our standard away performance before getting stronger and pinching a goal later on.

I accept Doncaster at home and are a very good side. We just don't even have a foot hold in the game.

To be fair to Donny fans, the abuse of McCormick is hopefully more down to his controversial role in our Home Park win than anything more vile. Realistically, it's probably a mix of the two :(

They had one chance and scored, we had a number of chances and didn't score. We need to be more ruthless and clinical in-front of goal, otherwise, our unbeaten home record will be gone.

The last chance from Coppinger was a big one...that should have been a goal

Disappointing, we should at least got a draw, a win would have been fair based on possession and number of chances.

Pick up ourselves and go and get a win at Grimsby.

Steve Evans will be delighted about that, his Boston gave us a guard of honour the last time we were promoted from Lg 2/Div 3.
