Title: Rovers v Fleetwood
Post by: RoversAlias on January 08, 2022, 02:06:27 pm
Is this definitely on iFollow then?

Two changes for Rovers, Jones has a muscle injury and is on the bench, Dahlberg starts. Gardner's injury sees Williams in to defence and Rowe pushed further forward.

Ellis Harrison debuts up front for Fleetwood. Troublesome!

ROVERS: Dahlberg, Knoyle, Olowu, Williams, Horton, Galbraith, Smith, Rowe, Barlow, Hiwula, Bogle.

FLEETWOOD: Cairns, Hayes, Clarke, Biggins, Andrew, Johnson, Batty, Johnston, Lane, Camps, Harrison.

Good news we have a few more bodies back from injury, particularly looking forward to see what Seaman can do who was one of the brighter lights before his injury.

As good a team as we can hope for, just a pity Jones has a knock.

Hope we can last the pace and earn a much needed 3 points.

The game in general, how scary it was that taking out Gardner Bogle and Barlow caused such a collapse

Sounds like 3 loanees will be going back, Vilca, Cukur and reading between the lines Dahlberg

Nothing imminent transfer wise before Fleetwood

How he believes a DoF isn’t a bad idea

and here me thinking there is no way Jones will start in goal against Fleetwood

ifD ahlberg goes back then we obviously need an emergency loan goalkeeper

we did this trick a few times when Jones as the No.2 had never made his debut

that third goal was an absolute fluke the way it bounced off the player onto their forwards toe end



thank goodnes sense and sensibility has finally taken charge and Dahlberg is back in gal
and also in goal
Title: Re: Rovers v Fleetwood
Post by: RoversAlias on January 08, 2022, 02:23:45 pm
Jones has a muscle injury, and is on the bench presumably because if worst comes to worst, Jones on one leg is in theory better than an outfield player on two legs.

To be honest, the red Fleetwood shorts have shown up how our kit isn't actually red. It's like a cherry, off-red.

I think that was the first time we've put the ball in the opposition box. Not that we actually touched it once it got there.

They are technically much better than us. They are faster than us by a mile. They are winning the ball far far more often than us. They are splitting us apart and in our box often and only Pontious has kept us from conceding I reckon.

The few times we have got forward have fizzled to nothing.

The excuse at the start of the season about the players not knowing each other is wearing thin but they still look like a bunch of strangers.

We all know this group will never be good enough so whilst the effort from the team is there why the f#ck would you boo them off when we are well in the game? The fight is there which proves to me that we will improve under GM when signings are made. Bogle showing he can still play football and even Hiwula has made a slide tackle. This is where we are at so deal with it. Do NOT boo at 0-0. Pathetic.
Title: Re: Rovers v Fleetwood
Post by: monkeytennis on January 08, 2022, 04:02:33 pm
We’re letting them have way too much space especially on the right wing and through the middle. A goal from them is inevitable unless we plug those gaps in the second half but as I said they are faster and better than us so it’s a tall order. I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

Lacklustre all round. No idea in the final third (when we get there), too much pumping long balls, not enough support round the ball when we get it upfield and a lot of wrong decision making when we do get forward.

Galbraith always seems in control. Seaman looked bright. Too many giving the ball away too easily.

The ref should have got hold of their time-wasting. At least 5-10 occasions where he could have dished a yellow out for it.

I don’t really love Doncaster Rovers, they are 90 mins escapism on a Saturday, however I have been an avid watcher since 1974….
But you have stated that the manager should be sacked if we are down by March, and I disagree!
Firstly he hasn’t had the opportunity to bring anyone in yet, and that itself will be a problem due to our current position…
Secondly why would we sack our manager after 2-3 months in charge, that’s just daft

You are like a lot of fans on here that can see exactly where we are, and more importantly where we are heading….you know why we are losing every game and can’t see a solution to stop it…….. im the same , however I choose not to state it after every game…..

I’ve been fairly confident since the first game that this was not going to be our year, and though I have never wanted my team to be relegated , I feel this is our time!

Nor putting Rowe in this midfield is beyond baffling. Can anyone see the logic in this decision?

Decisions like this are not exactly setting the alarm bells off but are worrying already. We needed a goal & more impetus, leaving Rowe at left back was ridiculous, should have been pushed up at the start of the second half.
Definitely given the amount of times Horton gave the ball away. I get he's learning his trade but Rowe would have been better used further forward.

Then who goes at left back? You don't want someone who's constantly giving the ball away there?

Valid point. Watching that today, he seems a liability, but he's trying to ply his trade in a poor team.
