21' Goal @Coventry_City | A cleared free-kick by Rovers was picked up by Hiwula who smashed home a volley from inside the box. 1-0 #DRFC #COVDON
20' - THREE IN THREE FOR HIWULA!
Free-kick from Doyle is cleared, but only as far as Jordy Hiwula who fires the ball into the back of the net from inside the box, to give City the lead!

Here we go again, Rovers three shots on target, Coventry one. One nil down. W can't finish at the moment.
-
We can't defend, either!
-
Pretty much every shot we face is going in at the moment. Not sure what the problem is but we’ve got no foundation to build on in games if we keep conceding from pretty much every shot.
-
Defensively we are poor.
No clean sheets since August.
-
31' - Marquis heads wide.
Ball into the City box from Coppinger is nodded wide by the Doncaster captain.

40' Goal @Coventry_City | A superb strike from Luke Thomas hits the inside of the post and finds the back of Marosi's goal. 2-0 #DRFC #COVDON
41' - WHAT A FINISH!
Corner into the box is cleared to Thomas on the edge of the box and he sets himself and fires a shot into the back of the net from 20 yards out!

Game over I reckon.

Two very good finishes to be fair.

Another second ball from a set play by the sounds of it.
-
This is getting silly. Something has got to change.
-
Yup. Once again we don't close down and let them shoot.
-
We’ve been poor this half. Coventry much more alert and methodical.We’ve been ragged at the back and slow up front.
-
Have we been found out? Makes you wonder.

I'm beginning to wonder if this manager is smart enough?
-
Deluded manager his honeymoon period is over. Goals coming from the same thing every week
-
Just to predicable, never understand why teams play the same formation week in week out, mix things up a little,I would bring may on so he can close the defenders down as there whole team seems to have a age when in possession, wilks is good going forward but offers nothing when under pressure
-

What because were going through a bad spell? The best managers have shit spells.

As usual, it’s the end of the world. Get a grip fellas. It’s a marathon.

It’s not the end of the world but the same old problems repeatedly cropping up and going unaddressed has a strong whiff of Darren Ferguson.
-
It all goes back to the debate about what people prefer, high scoring attacking games that can go either way, or boring ground out 1-0 wins, like we had when we last won the league, which means having a strong defence.
I prefer the latter, and that's what brings the crowds in, because of the high league position that follows.

I'm all for the gung hoe attacking and good performances, occasionally losing but with the amount of defeats recently I'm swaying to the latter.
-
It goes back to what I said in the summer, lack of investment in the summer would lead to the manager getting stick on here
-
You would expect him to learn from all the mistakes.

It most certainly is.

Is Cliff Byrne the defensive coach? If so maybe he needs to be addressing our defensive problems. Missing half the regular back four can't be helping today.
In general it looks like GM chose not to spend all the budget available to him in August, maybe for the very good reason of seeing what he already has at the club. I think we are light on backup and hopefully this can be addressed in January.
I don't think we should form a proper judgement until after a full season - especially given such a positive start which has upped everyone's expectations

"Lack of investment..." yawn. January always was set up to be the next step, see what we need, go get it. But some would prefer to have spent the lot in July/August.
-
In mitigation, we are also missing two regular defenders.............. just saying like.
-

GM? I think more likely that should be about the players. Though maybe you could spell out the mistakes you're referring to?

At last: comments of a sensible nature!
-
We’ve got about 20 players out of contract in June, quite a number of which I think we would like to keep, so probably sensible to hold back some of the budget to keep players like Wright, Rowe and Marosi.

We're obviously not as good as a lot of people on here thought we were.

No, we are very good when at our best but as plagues most teams we are inconsistent..
-
Still only 3 points off 4th spot, not panic stations yet
-
All us so far this half.
-

Where they missing in the 3 recent defeats?; we're on a bad run of form; if we lose today it's 4 points from 18.
This needs sorting.

2-1

69' A well-worked moved saw a cross from Coppinger fired into the path of Taylor, who laid the ball to Wright, who then smashed his effort home from close range. 2-1 #DRFC #COVDON

Silly statement that Wiltshire; I've got my train tickets for Charlton, and can't wait, but surely I'm entitled to be concerned about a defence that can't defend set pieces.
-
Wah wah wah, every time we lose or don't boss the league for a couple of weeks the same old moans come out on here. It's so, so boring.

I thought you were better than a statement like that Alias.

Not to be today, onwards and upwards

Full time 2-1. Second half was all us but we didn't have enough and we can't be conceding 2 every first half.
-
He changed things abit at half time and we were miles better, just change things slightly at the start and we won’t be so predictable, deserved a point in the end but no to be
-
Shame we couldn’t turn that around..
-
Tough place to go today. Tend to feel it's the last two games that were poor results if not poor performances rather than thus one.
-
In October 1 win 1 draw and 4 defeats = 4pts from 18pts
Goals for 7 goals against 13. Attacking football is not been working in October. If GM concentrates on attacking football in training then you have to take the chances created. It’s not happened. Yet closing players down and stopping them from shooting is not working either.
So let’s hope it’s on wards and upwards.

Something wrong with your maths there Steve; it's 4pts from 18 pts.

Yes you are right 😔😔

We were lead to believe not all the budget was used and some was left for January, McCanns decision apparently. Yet in the free press this week gavin Baldwin states ant New additions will be in addition to the budget
-
F*cking hell here we go again. First bad patch we hit (still 8th in the league which is higher than we were at any point last season) and all this nonsense about the budget starts being raked up again.
-
I mentioned the lack of depth in today’s squad before a ball was kicked.
I also said we were outstanding in the first half on Tuesday. My only point is our squad isn’t good enough to cope with injuries and suspensions
-
I have been busy all day so came on to have read what is being said about our game today...........and wish I hadn’t bothered.
So much negativity from some posters.
We are having a bad spell but most teams go through that at some point in a season.
-
Having looked at the Sky highlights it seems to me that we were very unlucky not to get at least a point from the game today.
We created loads of chances after half time and only some good defending kept us behind.
Also, whoever said that Cov had scored with their first effort on our goal got that very wrong, Marosi made a couple of good saves before they scored.
All that doom and gloom isn’t warranted.
