Title: TLO Doncaster vs Sunderland
Post by: IDM on October 23, 2018, 03:11:00 pm
I always say the next game is the most important, regardless of the opposition.

However for a whole variety of reasons, many not related to the football, I am looking forward to this fixture..

I’ve been around long enough not to raise expectations and this could be a drab 0-0, but I’m hoping for a great atmosphere and some decent entertainment..!

Glad to see Kane fit and a return for Wright after Anderson’s horror show at the weekend.

I thought that would be the line up, some mind games from McCann there re Kane.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on October 23, 2018, 07:23:45 pm
Can Copps get Cattermole sent off by running a few rings around him. I would think McCann would want to stifle him and stop them ticking.

Our full backs will have to be on top form tonight mind.

From twitter, and BBC stats it's looking good so far for us. Just need a bit of good fortune. Wish I was there for this.

Cattermole getting a yellow so early on is a positive.
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster vs Sunderland
Post by: IDM on October 23, 2018, 08:05:08 pm
We are well in this and they are rattled.. two yellow cards already for cynical midfield fouls.
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster vs Sunderland
Post by: PDX_Rover on October 23, 2018, 08:05:22 pm
Cattermole took 7 minutes to go through one of our lads. Booked on 15 mins for a foul on Wilks. Both central midfielders for them booked. Get at ‘em. Rovers doing very well.

Good afternoon everyone, seems like we are more than holding our own against Sunderland. Yes they are a big club, but in the same league as us, we can beat them.

 Wilks receives a yellow card for an off-the-ball incident with Chris Maguire. Ben Whiteman also sees yellow for an earlier foul on Cattermole.

Wilks pulled back when through on goal. Not obviously but he was impeded. Nothing given.
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster vs Sunderland
Post by: PDX_Rover on October 23, 2018, 08:35:35 pm
Blairy with a golden chance... just needed to lift it over the advancing keeper. Half time. Rovers better team there without a doubt. Set up perfectly slept a cracking second half. Great game.
Title: Re: TLO Doncaster vs Sunderland
Post by: IDM on October 23, 2018, 08:36:32 pm
How the f**k did Blair not score then?  Credit to their ‘keeper for coming out so quick to block the one on one.. Wilks should have done better in a similar position a minute earlier, mind you, I thought he was being fouled - but on a yellow he can’t risk going down too easy..

We are well in this.. Sunderland have quality of course and we will need to stay at them..

They have n’t out footballed us so have resorted to out kicking us halpe by a set of officials with big club syndrome!

Post by: IDM on October 23, 2018, 08:38:01 pm
I was a bit worried in the first 5 mins.. but then we got into the game and have been great since, apart from not scoring..

Marquis scuffed one too, from a Wright knock down..

Some big club syndrome from the ref. Entertaining game which could go either way and could end up with one team down to 10 men but they seem the dirtier.

Well, you look at some of the fouls that were deemed yellow cards - I.e. of equal severity, and there is no consistency from refs. He let much worse stuff go than he gave yellows for.

Of the people criticising the ref, how many have been glad that Rovers have been a bit more streetwise and savvy this season? Don’t think that Sunderland have done anything other than that really.

We’ve never really got going second half, the goal right at the start killed us.

Nick, there were a few shockers in that game that should have been carded but the player had already been booked and the ref bottled it. At least two of their lads. And then he books our lads for fairly innocuous offences.

Very true, we said as much at the match.
Some of the Sunderland tackles in the first half bordered on being dangerous.
At least two were two footed and off the ground.
