Danny Schofield makes two changes to his side.
Ben Nelson and Kyle Hurst both come in, while Tommy Rowe makes his 600th career appearance.
-
5-5-0 formation it is then.
-
No start for westbrooke? No striker?
Let's see how much chances we create then
-
“Rovers will be playing 3 4 f*cking 3”
-
Is Tommy playing up front ??
-
I've gotta say, considering we have pretty much nothing to play for this season, DS's total refusal to start Faulkner is bordering on absurd. To leave him on the bench in place of a loan player, it's just infuriating. Mindless. Like he's actively trying to annoy both our most promising homegrown player in years, and our already fed up fanbase at the same time. Do yourself a favour man...

Left back

No start for westbrooke? No striker?
Let's see how much chances we create then
when does Ramadan end ?
-
5-5-0 formation it is then.
For all those midfielders, we still can't dominate possession.
-
Olowu off!!!!
-
Olowu off!!!!
Substituted or sent off?
-
Injured, BF on..
-
1-0 Crewe
-
A shambles defensively again.
-
Farcical playing out from the back, Anderson, OG
-
Pathetic the lot of them
-
The boos have started. Crewe deserve the lead. We have offered nothing. Again
-
Crewe comms saying straight through the GK?
I’m sure DS will blame Faulkner somehow
-
Came of Anderson
-
0-2
-
He's got to go now
-
More non sensical playing out from the back, results in an easy goal from a corner 2 nil, game over, when the frik will they learn league 2 players should not play it out from the back ffs
-
40% possession, 0-2 down
-
Best we could get was a 0-0 as soon as that 1st went it it’s game over. Not helped by our injuries but with nothing to play for at least we could try and entertain.
-
This continues this afternoon then DS as to go the board, owners must take action
Only the bottom 4 have lost more games and only 4 teams conceded more
-
0-2 ! Have Rovers had a single shot yet?
-
The boos are virtually continuous now.
-
Do his wages have to be paid if he walks I wonder?
-
Surely this is the nail in DS's coffin? It's a horrible feeling hoping your team ship more goals to enforce a change at the club
-
Home against one of the worst sides in the league, 40 minutes in, and not even shot. This really is a low.
-
Absolute joke
-
Something ,got to change same old, match after match .
Can we do something positive at the half-time break and sack Schofield.
-
Best we could get was a 0-0 as soon as that 1st went it it’s game over. Not helped by our injuries but with nothing to play for at least we could try and entertain.
Agreed that those wearing the shirt should show some fight.
Not sure how well we can be expected to do with virtually a first team out injured.
Not defending him, but the manager is hardly to blame for the injuries, nor are the board.
DS is skating on very thin ice however.
-
Do his wages have to be paid if he walks I wonder?
You’ve answered you’re own question he won’t walk not when he’s got 12 month wages to come.

Problem is we have been abysmal without injuries too! Its not the injuries thats the problem

Can we sack him at half time?

Stop making excuses, IDM. Every club has injuries. This sh*te has being going on for 2 years now.
The club deserves an empty f*cking stadium.
-
Well if he's not gone tonight I really don't know what's going on
Utter shambles!!!

Northampton are in the promotion places and have 12 players out injured….
-
If Westbrooke can’t start why did we sign him
-
We’ve had injuries all season.. never a settled side and poor management..
I’m not defending the manager, I did say he’s on very thin ice.. I don’t usually criticise too harshly but I wouldn’t be surprised nor disappointed if he’s gone by Monday.
So no, I’m not defending him nor making excuses.

We couldn’t score before all the injuries

He is to blame for playing a system and style which doesn't seem to suit even one of the players in our team. Mindless playing out from the back with a GK and CBs who aren't good on the ball. Wingbacks who seem to have been told not to attack. Two in CM when none of our CMs have any bite or mobility. One striker when none of our strikers have the physicality to play up top alone. And wingers, the only position we seem to have genuine quality at this level, who seem so confused as to what their role is that they end up doing nothing at all. He's got to take some blame for that, no?
-
As it stands we are by far the worst team in the football league and I’m very worried for next season
-
Players couldn’t sprint off the pitch fast enough at half time.
-

So no, I’m not defending him nor making excuses.
the second you mentioned injuries is the same as defending him. Both goals have come from the rediculous notion that we are able to play out from the back like man city. It's a farce, and puts us under pressure all the time. He never learns from things that are going disastriously wrong ffs
-
One shot on target in 45 minutes of absolute desolate football. Players going through the motions, no organisation, poor passing, no plan, players running around aimlessly, defense shambolic, & we want to give this absolute joke of a manager the summer?
-
If Westbrooke can’t start why did we sign him
I also think that Agard if lacking in many respects has a decent ability to hold the ball up and bring others into play. So why the hell has DS not started him today? Just totally puzzling.
-
is this an april fool?
ive been busy with other more important things today and just switched on the half times.
-
Well I certainly feel foolish turning up to watch so yes

Well, you’ve just missed the best 45 minutes of football this season. For Crewe that is :)
-
Enter Sandman has been a brilliant choice to come out to.
-
So by expressing an opinion without extreme views or vociferously demanding his sacking, I’m defending him?
He’s failing, yes. Of course injuries don’t help but if folks read my posts properly I did say the players should show some fight and surely that’s down to the manager?
A few games ago I did suggest the players weren’t giving their all for him. Either way, it’s not working is it?
-
We may as well sack schofield tonight as we are going to loose every game til end of season and that’s not acceptable and impossible to brush under the carpet
-
P45 and taxi for DS this evening.
-
Substitution, Doncaster Rovers. Zain Westbrooke replaces Liam Ravenhill.
Substitution, Doncaster Rovers. Jack Goodman replaces Todd Miller.
-
DS won’t be sacked. He should be but he won’t because he has the injury excuse now.
We all know it wouldn’t be much different with a full 11 . We never got near the opponents goal when we had strikers anyway. Glad I’m not trader again today. Can’t justify it and sounds like it’s another good decision
-
I know it's irrelevant, but seeing Barnsley near the top of league one, 4-0 up with all goals scored by recent ex-Donny players is an extra kick in the nuts when we really don't need one.
-
We definitely need a manager in charge with a proven experience of leagues 1 and 2.
It’s a totally different game plan at this level.
-
Worst team in 20 years, and after last season, that's saying something!!!
-
todays game was one i had us penned to scrape a win. thats not looking likely. the 6 teams currently below rovers all have better gd and we still have to play three of them. and we also have to play the teams currently in 18th, 19th and 20th.
I can now see rovers finishing deep in the bottom half of the table come season end.
-
I think that we will lose all our games until the end of the season.
-
I think that we will lose all our games until the end of the season.
if it means DS goes, then so be it..
-
yep, rovers are safe. if its to be a complete and abject failure from now to season end, then ill take it, IF he goes as a result. it will be ugly. very ugly.
just how thick is his skin?
-
Schofield has to go after this!
-
Schofield has to go after this!
but what about the process…?
-
just 4 teams have a worse gd than rovers. thats very telling. gillingham and the bottom 3 teams.
-
Gillingham have more points than anyone since January -- which shows how easy it is to "buy" this league
-
The process is. The Board sack DS, it's that simple.
-
Good news Kwame Thomas has scored Dundees 7th against the Scottish Doncaster Rovers (Hamilton)
as hartlepoll equalise late again
-
just 4 teams have a worse gd than rovers. thats very telling. gillingham and the bottom 3 teams.
in fact only 3 have. We have the fourth equal worst gd. Only 4 teams have lost more games than us also.
-
How empty is the stadium? How bad is the booing?
-
What's Westbrooke and Goodman looked like?
-
Why would you not play to the strengths of what you have? You play the style of football you believe in when you have the players capable of doing it. He can’t last much longer in the job.
-

yep, gillinghams 82nd minute equaliser changed things
-
hartlepool 2 swindon 1
rochdale win as well
-
in fact barrow just scored in 90+4 so my initial comment stands for now
-
ft. i hope the faithful who spent good money watching that today made their feelings known at the end
-
Thought Goodman did well.
-
I thought the presence of Goodman up top was encouraging. Gave us something to go at. I don’t see any reason not to give him a few starts in the run in. Westbrooke for me has to start I assume the only reason so far is down to fitness levels but he doesn’t looked bogged down with the weight of the club like the rest of our players seem to at the minute he tried to make stuff happen at least
-
Second half was brighter with more intent and energy. Goodman did well and Seaman/Molly seemed to link up well. Still got nothing to show for it though!
Quite hostile towards manager, board and players today. There’s no way anyone in that stadium didn’t hear it, it was loud and clear.
-
When you start a home game without a recognised striker on the pitch but you have two on the bench you know you are not going to get a glut of home goals. Then at half time you bring on an 18 year old striker and leave your experienced striker on the bench when 2-0 down, you know you’re not looking to win the game. And to cap a series of poor decisions you don’t bring him on at all you know the manager has lost plot and it’s time for them to go.
This season we’ve had two managers that haven’t had a clue as to what is need and more importantly what we, the fans, want.
After the Harrogate game I thought it couldn’t get any worse, I was wrong

How empty is the stadium? How bad is the booing?
Probably about 4500 in SS and the booing in the first half was very loud and clear.
There was even a new Danny Schofield song.
The crowd has really turned on him now.
Oddly enough, there was hardly any booing in the second half.
I think it was because everyone was just too pissed off to be bothered.
-
I sit in the West stand. The West Stand were 'disgruntled' with Gary McS at the end of his time... Today was so so so much lower than that.
Its rare the Westies join the south in chants but today, there were very vocal pockets appearing everywhere. Clear, angry, emotional sentiment everywhere.
In terms of the performance... Seaman, Faulkner, Nelson, & Goodman looked like they could be arsed.
Midfield once again might as well have not bothered showing up. Rowe looked poor, Molyneux looked to be trying but having nothing come off.
Mitchell received sarcastic jeers from his first save - which was ironically the same type he'd ballsed up the home game previous.
The players had zero confidence and low understanding of the system that they've been asked to play for some months now. Keeper's distribution negates any benefits of playing from the back - opposing strikers just press us back and by the time we've composed ourselves, the balls punched out of touch for the opposition to press us that much harder.
Players lose the ball and show about as much interest in winning it back as the likelihood of us winning any games this season.
BBC Radio Sheffield earlier commented on some fans exchange about Wednesdays decline where they called 3 shots on target in a game 'poor'..
3?!
3?!?!
What I wouldn't GIVE FOR 3 SHOTS IN A GAME!!!
