I was typing seems like that's a yes until Dutch's post. Sounds fairly even on i-Follow

I'm not at the game either mate, elsewhere tonight.
Hoping someone gives us updates.

Ali Crawford off, Rowe on. Sounds like a precaution

Why does Peter Catt keep referring to us as Doncaster when he refers to the Blunts as United?

Knock or muscle pull.
Any clues given.

Wilks sounds like a right handful hope he and Marquis can form a good partnership

Anything much happening to report on.

Rovers the better of the two teams in the first half having 3-4 good chances but Utd’s keeper made some really good saves.

Title: Re: TLO Doncaster Rovers v the blunts

Half time sounds like we are edging it but their keeper keeping us out
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster Rovers v the blunts

Very promising then.

Marosi hasn’t had too much to do. Two long range efforts dealt with quite well.

Defence has looked quite strong, Mason right, Amos left and Butler/Wright in the middle. Dealt with Sharp and Clarke well.

Midfield has put some decent moves together. Wilks looks decent when he gets on the ball and has caused some problems. Crawford went off half way through the half but hadn’t really got too much into the game before that. Looks more a precaution than anything else.

Pretty decent 1st half, hope they carry it on into the second

Was it more easy on the eye than under Fergie?

Anyone know why Kiwomya isn't in the squad?

IT has to be less boring.

Second half lineup:

Lawlor, Lund, Anderson, Butler, Andrew, Trialist(Vieira?), McCullough, Rowe, Beestin, Trialist(Taylor?), May.

Took a knock against deeping so not risked

Still playing ok despite nearly a full team change.

Utd coming into the game more and should have scored twice. The second, their player put it wide with an open goal in front of them.

Utd score as the drop in quality from Rovers is clear to see.

Not been anywhere near as good so far in this half with several players not looking good enough.
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster Rovers v the blunts

Shame to be behind but understandable with our weaker 11 now playing

Did the blunts make many changes for the second half?
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster Rovers v the blunts
Post by: ian1980 on July 27, 2018, 09:21:03 pm
Second for Utd as they break away. No closing down or getting a tackle in. It’s gone too easy for them now. Rovers a bit like headless chickens at the moment

They’ve made quite a few but not as many as Rovers.

Not sure how this is a weak XI. 8 would be potential starters. Only Lund, Vieira and May wouldn't get in the first team.

At least this game should now show GM who his starting 11 should be
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster Rovers v the blunts
Post by: scawsby steve on July 27, 2018, 09:31:53 pm
Well at least GM will surely know now who his best 11 are, and whether or not he needs to add any more recruitments.

Surprising that so many changes are made a week before the 1st game, the player don’t seem to have played very little competitive football

Isn't that the point of playing friendly matches.
As well as getting match fit of course.

All over; sounds like they could have had 6 in the second half.

Did we play 4-3-3?
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster Rovers v the blunts
Post by: dknward2 on July 27, 2018, 09:54:34 pm
Think if we had played the starting 11 all game we would have run them closer but no shame in the final score

Feeling good about the upcoming season

When's the last time we scored against a professional side tho, that's a bit worrying...
