Title: Rovers vs Barrow
Post by: NickDRFC on February 14, 2023, 06:49:37 pm
One change from the weekend, Rowe in for Anderson who misses out with a minor injury - presuming at centre half rather than a change of shape.

Hopefully no ifollow issues tonight YOU REDS!

I’d sooner see a change of shape to a back four rather than have Rowe wasted in that position

Post by: NickDRFC on February 14, 2023, 07:10:29 pm
The team is clearly being drilled in this formation within training so to rip it up and go for 4 at the back wouldn’t really make any sense. We didn’t miss Rowe on Saturday in midfield or attack so I’m OK with him playing there, just hoping it’s a short term measure.

I dunno but it seems to me that half this forum think he’s crap..  if he was picked there would be folks on here getting a bod on about it..

Our first draw in a long time. 2-2.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Barrow
Post by: Peebles Rover on February 14, 2023, 07:45:02 pm
I feel like we should win.  But then the Rovers factor kicks in - can we really win 3 on the trot??

Going for 2-0 though to Rovers

Enjoying watching this on the TV on a very snowy day here! 30cm of snow down so far today!

Playing some great stuff.

And regards RSW our defence seems to be more confident and plays a higher line without him (which is strange as he's supposedly pacy) but he doesn't challenge well for the ball on first contact.

Mollyneuax and Hurst are a real creative threat again here.

Okay half.  Rovers competing and battling well, but keeping waiting for us to properly click into a gear
Title: Re: Rovers vs Barrow
Post by: RugbyRover on February 14, 2023, 08:39:05 pm
I thought that was poor.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Barrow
Post by: KingKendrick on February 14, 2023, 08:40:24 pm
Solid half that. Could be a bit sharper in the final 3rd but look solid at the back. Brown and maxwell both putting a shift in tonight

We look like a team now. It doesn't work perfectly all the time, but 1-11 we look pretty good.

What a player Tommy Rowe is to have as cover for every position.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Barrow
Post by: Canadian Rover on February 14, 2023, 08:44:39 pm

Surely that was decent? Not real Madrid or Man City like...but we are Doncaster Rovers. Lots of good passing, shots and creative play. I'll take another half like that!

Olowu looks solid.
Hurst busy.
Molly lively.
Brown and close linking up.
Another rovers goal early on should seal this

I think we're a bit away from that, but its getting better.  We look better in defence. We don't dominate though like some SOD performances
Title: Re: Rovers vs Barrow
Post by: RugbyRover on February 14, 2023, 08:50:09 pm
I thought that was poor.

Enlighten us, please.

I thought we were supposed to be a possession based team. Instead we just hit the channels were Miller can't hold the ball up. Back three are too slow moving the ball. Too many risky passes played by JO and Nelson into the middle. Losing headers Hurst taking bad options. If we weren't winning there would be more not satisfied.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Barrow
Post by: Thorney on February 14, 2023, 08:50:39 pm
Look comfortable. Olowu had some erratic moments early on.
Hurst has frustrated me with delaying getting a shot away and then losing the chance.

But all in all, ok for first half. Let's keep pushing for a 2nd and put this to bed. Barrow don't look to have much.

Would get miller off for lavery early in this half. He has played alot of minutes and looks tired to me. It wouldn't weaken the side.
Title: Re: Rovers vs Barrow
Post by: NickDRFC on February 14, 2023, 08:50:51 pm
Bit of a funny half. Thought at times we played some really good stuff but equally we were pretty sloppy a fair bit. The defence looked a bit shaky early on (particularly Olowu) but then not really threatened much afterwards. Would like to see us kick on a bit second half as I think there’s an opportunity for a couple more goals but would be quite happy with more of the same and a 1-0 win.

Keep that up and it’s a 70/71 point tally. Which could make 7th.

Could do with upping that rate a bit, make the pay offs comfortably and go into them in decent form?

Still a third of the season left to go though..
