Today’s team
COYR
-
Sick note Wright is missing again I see....... otherwise a good line up
-
Not much defensive cover on the bench is there.
-
Not much defensive cover on the bench is there.
The best form of defence is attack, attack, attack
COYR
-
Blair can fill at full back, but it would be abit worrying if a centre-back limps off (maybe Sheaf could cover). What happened to the lad from Wolves, injured?
-
Don't like the look of that team. Don't fancy us one bit. Couple of additions and we will be fine.
The lack of CBs on the team is a concern but I presume Wright is close to returning and no idea on Sheaf so that's probably only a temporary issue.
The striker position is the biggest worry. Hopefully Saddlier can do a job but again it will only be temporary.
-
Blair can fill at full back, but it would be abit worrying if a centre-back limps off (maybe Sheaf could cover). What happened to the lad from Wolves, injured?
My thoughts too re: Blair,Sheaf etc. Dunno about Cameron John though.
-
Same team as last week? I think it is, another week training with each other will make a lot of difference. A win today.
-
Wind, rain, lightning - I wouldn't put much on the result whichever way it goes. Fingers crossed, prayers to Thor.
-
Just carry on where they left off then.
COYR
-
Anything could happen today. The weather will be a factor.
-
Not much defensive cover on the bench is there.
Equates to about as much midfield cover as Rochdale have! Plus they're missing Rathbone in midfield, a big loss for them.
Great chance for Whiteman to boss this.
-
have we got the wind with us?
-
5 minutes in and Rochdale have hardly got out of their half.
-
Sounds like a bright start.
-
Good morning everyone. Much needed 3 points today, At our best we can beat anyone in this league.
-
Noticed that Peterborough and Sunderland are both losing - Marquis warming the bench at Portsmouth....
-
How we getting on
-
Latest stats don 14 dangerous attacks to 6
-
Baptiste down injured not looking good
COYR
-
Was bound to happen....
-
Baptiste off injured
-
And no CB on bench
-
That’s Baptise out for a while by the look of it.
-
Baptiste off, Blair on. Sheaf into the back 4
COYR
-
How long is Wright out for? New CB needed now.
-
Was bound to happen....
Why? Just asking.
-
Official stats say 4 shots to their non.
Blow to lose Baptiste so early.
-
According to BBC match stats we are only 31per cent in game.
-

Why? Just asking.
As mentioned earlier in the thread
-
DM says Wright training OK but did not want to risk.
Not sure why John not on bench.
-
How long is Wright out for? New CB needed now.
We’ve got the lad from Wolves.?
Let’s wait and see what the injury is.. 3 weeks of the window left anyway..
-
Sadlier needs to learn to stay onside, caught twice today and noticed it a lot last week.
-
RS says Baptiste stretchered off with a serious knee injury.
-
Who’s playing where now in midfield?
-
Put a bid in to Scunny for Butler.
-
Put a bid in to Scunny for Butler.
:laugh: Moving on...
-
Dales first shot hits the post
-
Sunderland losing, Peterborough losing, Blackpool 3 up, Fleetwood losing at home - I can see today being on the random side of results.
Marquis on the bench at Pompey btw.
-
Lincoln 1 up against the Scum
-
Wonder why wolves lad not on bench.
-
Anderson yellow card
-
Dale getting on top, let’s get 0-0 at ht and regroup.
-
42' SAVE! Ian Lawlor pulls off a good stop to deny Pyke from close range. 0-0 #ROCDON #DRFC
COYR
-
Blair coming on upsets the balance of the team quite significantly. Not a holding mid so we must have changed shape.
-
According to BBC match stats we are only 31per cent in game.
52-48 on Skybet
-
RS says Baptiste stretchered off with a serious knee injury.
Has RS given him a scan from the commentery box 😀
-
They said his knee buckled under him.
-
Good shot from Whiteman
-
They said his knee buckled under him.
The comentator on ifollow said it was the leg he kicked the ball with
-
45+3' Ben Whiteman bends an effort towards the back post but Sanchez reads it and makes the save. 0-0 #ROCDON #DRFC
And half time 0-0
COYR

They said his knee buckled under him.

And here’s a pic of him being carried off from Tom Biltcliffe
COYR
-
Gomes has done next to nothing first half, Sadlier not suited to the position he’s playing, we need far more pace second half.
-
They said his knee buckled under him.
Sorry for him. He's had knee problems throughout his career. Can't say we weren't warned!
-

I'd be surprised if Gomes comes out for the second half, looks lost out there and offered absolutely nothing .
-

He appeared to just collapse after kicking the ball.
Couldn’t stand up.
-

Ennis to come on..............and snatch a winner?
-
What formation are we playing since Blair came on? Would've thought Crawford would be better suited to playing where Sheaf was.
-
I thought we'd bag our first win today but a draw now looking more likely.
-
Baptiste injury has made a huge difference. We were the best team up to that point. Alfie looked really busy, they had most possession but weren’t threatening at all. However the balance of the team has changed with that injury. We don’t look comfortable at all now. Relieved to get through to HT.
-
Blair covering at CH? Not for the first time.
-
Blair covering at CH? Not for the first time.
Makes a change from covering at right back
COYR
-
Bring Ennis on for Gomes, Copps behind front three. Attack has to be the answer if we struggle at the back, try to restrict them to their own half.
-
Gomes has come out :facepalm:
-
Rare that managers make a change at h/T especially if one enforced already. Give them chance to carry out his instructions.
-
"My centre is giving way, my right is in retreat, situation excellent. I shall attack" Ferdinand Foch
-
Gomes has come out :facepalm:
strange time to declare that.....

I think one day we will appreciate just how useful Matty Blair is as a man for all positions, so useful to have someone in the squad like that.
-
Lincoln now 2 up at Rotherham.
-
52' Rovers hit Rochdale on the break. May slides a ball through to Sadlier whose shot is saved at the near post. 0-0 #ROCDON #DRFC
COYR
-
Gomes has come out :facepalm:
strange time to declare that.....
:lol:
-
Hubby sent off for Blackpool...
-
It does n’t sound too good this, it just sounds like our attack is too lightweight
-
Time for Ennis and Tayls. Gomes and May off please
-
James is looking better than last week.
-
Fair play for sticking with last weeks team but time for subs now surely?
-
61' Great through-ball by James Coppinger to find the run of Kieran Sadlier. Equally good defending from Eoghan O'Connell to stop Sadlier from taking a shot. 0-0 #ROCDON #DRFC
COYR
-
Time for a striker, surely! 8 shots and only 1 on target.
-
Currently Sky go 4/5 the draw, 9/4 Rovers and 11/4 Dale, says a lot about the state of play.
-
Quick change Rovers now 12/1 the win!
-
1 down
-
1-0 Dale
COYR
-
1 down! :crying:
-
Looks like LAwlor was fouled there.
-
Should never score from there.
-
Where have the subs been ?
We’ve allowed them into it by not upping our game via subs
-
Ennis coming on now , 10 mins to late.
-
A lot can happen in 20 minutes
-
Lets hope Ennis is a Menace.......
-
70' SUBSTITUTION | Second change for Rovers.
OFF - James Coppinger
ON - Niall Ennis.
1-0 #ROCDON #DRFC
COYR
-
Ennis coming on now , 10 mins to late.
No substitution could have prevented that goal. Looked like a foul on Lawlor too
-
Portsmuff 2 up - not JM though

The goal situation might not have happened if we 'd made a substitution earlier.
Just saying.
-

Nobody scored for us either.

Come on Donny last few minutes let's do it

Lots of dangerous attacks but no finish, seems to be the way so far. Patience.

88' CLOSE. Whiteman's through-ball finds Ennis who flicks the ball into Sadlier's path. Sanchez comes off his line and does just enough to take the ball off target. 1-0 #ROCDON #DRFC

A last gasp goal always feels better 😀😀

FT 1: 1
-
..I said it was looking like a draw....

Like a salmon.
-
Waiting for NewDonny to post now.
-
Undefeated in the league so far
-
Sadlier 2 in 2 keep it up Marquis who?
-
90+3 ROVERS ARE LEVEL. Kieran Sadlier rose highest to head Jon Taylor's cross beyond Robert Sanchez. 1-1 #ROCDON #DRFC
And full time, late goal keeps us unbeaten
Onwards and upwards
COYR
-
What a gem of a player is Sadlier. Gets better every time I watch him. Lovely goal.
-
The lads did most things right, but we do lack that final finish, either we get Ennis up to pace and he starts firing, or we get a half-decent striker in. Until then we are struggling a bit for results.
-
Good result considering the injury and reshuffle.
-
A header following a corner.? He’s not a no 9 is he.!
Shame we couldn’t get a win, but if we can’t, don’t lose.!
-
Waiting for NewDonny to post now.
He’ll have to get showered first😂
-
Played well, but in desperate need of a striker to finish things.
-
Taylor looks decent from set pieces.
-
To say he’s “not a striker”, that’s 2 in 2 for him now. Better than a lot of strikers in the league so far
-
MOM - Littlle Alfie May. Very quick and positive performance. He’s getting more and more confident every game now. The goals will come.
-
A header following a corner.? He’s not a no 9 is he.!
Shame we couldn’t get a win, but if we can’t, don’t lose.!
Get a striker and play Sadlier behind him with Taylor and May or Ennis and if Sadlier continues to score I’ll gladly eat my humble pie.
-
They said his knee buckled under him.
Sorry for him. He's had knee problems throughout his career. Can't say we weren't warned!
Didn't he suffer a broken leg just a few years ago aswell, seems a strange signing if you ask me.
-
I'll take that considering everything. Nice to see Saddlier bag again too. Really could do with getting a win next week though.
-
A header following a corner.? He’s not a no 9 is he.!
Shame we couldn’t get a win, but if we can’t, don’t lose.!
Can't have been a corner.
We never score from those(allegedly).
-
And Taylor can't cross a ball either according to the Rotherham fans. 1 game 1 assist keep it up

Waiting for NewDonny to post now.
We all have our favourites, Hound
