Tonight’s team is
COYR

Why doesn't Bogle start?
Bogle vs Dodoo is miles apart IMO.
-
Just got in ground. No covid checks at all .

Just got in ground. No covid checks at all .
Respect for going NR.
-
Where is Ed Williams never mentioned is he injured or as he left the club
-
Surely Bogle
should be starting
-
Bogle must be wondering what he has to do to get a start. A goal immediately on coming on in the last game and he looked to link up well with Agard too. If he’s not totally fit, fair enough but if he’s ok, to my mind he should be given 90 mins.
-
Maybe GM is starting Agard as centre forward and Dodoo out wide, which seems to be his best position. We need to know how Agard will fare as a no.9, we already know Bogle can play there, would he be any better as a wide forward than Dodoo?
Agard is supposed to be a fox in the box player, so hopefully we see him in the no.9 position, and hope he gets the service he needs to be effective.
-
If GMC picking players on running and fitness stats then Bogle won’t be getting in. He’s never been fully fit but he has scored.
-
From the interview he gave after Wigan, Bogle isn't yet match fit. So there's the option of starting him or bringing him on. Maybe he's going to be more effective against sightly more tired opposition at this point.
-
I would have thought maybe wanting to ease Bogle in a bit, not wanting him to get injured. It’s good that there are a few options.
-
It's all a bit ifs, buts, and maybes.

I was trying to log in to find my covid pass on my phone and the steward just said “don’t worry about it, it’s only random checks”
-
Good start from Rovers.
-
Early reflections … Martin is lively and looks to have been given a roaming forward role. He’s covered a lot of ground already
-
That Morecombe goal ain't helpful
-
That Morecombe goal ain't helpful
Must be no towels at Morecombes game.
-
Agard should have scored!
-
awful miss.
-
How have we not scored there!!
When the luck is not with you.
-
How have we not scored there!!
God knows, how that stayed out.
-
How the f##k are we not winning this. 2 massive chances in a minute
-
Encouraging this isn’t it, could easily be 2 or 3 up
-
They are getting a lot of crosses in from their left side. 3 or 4 now.
-
Hit the post! (Dodoo)
-
Good header, very unlucky!
-
This is the best quarter I’ve seen this season.
-
Dunk again! Him and his mate Brophy causing us a few difficulties down the Cambridge left. We’re doing well we should win this Ok
-
Should be 3 up here. I have a bad feeling about this.
-
We've just hit the crossbard aswell! (Martin)
These are here for the taking.
-
We just need some luck, pretty please :scarf:
-
Outside of the post again!
Chuff me. Have we got any luck here?
-
0-4 would not flatter us here
-
And Knoyle hits the post … we’ve been so unlucky.
-
Much, much better so far. We look dangerous going forwards.
Referee should have sent off Iredale.
-
We are even defending well
-
Jeez this is incredible. How are we not winning? Did Knoyle hit the post there?
-
We know what’s coming don’t we
-
Jeez this is incredible. How are we not winning? Did Knoyle hit the post there?
He did.
We've hit the woodwork 4 times I make it.
-
Good player this new lad Martin. Good signing he’s making a difference. I’m enjoying this game tonight for the first time this season.
-
We are rock bottom of the league but certainly don’t look like a team in that position the way we are playing tonight. We really need Lady Luck to come courting.
-
How on earth we not winning this!!
-
How on earth we not winning this!!
God knows.
-
Be great for Rovers to score here before half time.
-
How the hell are we not in front in this game!
-
What we’d give now for a Marquis type banging us a few in tonight
-
Just watching the Cambridge game tonight.
That team in blue is playing really well.
I just wish Rovers could play as well as that.
-
This is excellent, commitment, desire, work rate, a passion to win.
I hope to god we get the result this deserves, then maybe the impossible is on - it keeps the hope going
-
What we’d give now for a Marquis type banging us a few in tonight
He’d have probably seen his best effort hit the post too the way things are going!
-
Unbelievable.
-
1:0
-
Jeeez … I don’t believe it!
-
Bull shit
-
Good player this new lad Martin. Good signing he’s making a difference. I’m enjoying this game tonight for the first time this season.
Martin has done more in 45 min that Hiwula all season. We’ve been playing with a man down all season!
-
Olowu showing his lack of experience there. At that time of the game when we’ve absolutely dominated as well. Such a shame
-
Knew it... f**king knew it was coming.
-
That’s what happens when you are bottom . Those of us here are gutted. Rovers really should be at least a goal up . A great first half totally ruined
-
Forget this scoreline. We have absolutely dominated this game. The best half from Rovers this season and they've gone up the other end and scored.
The stars are not aligned for us this season.
-
Gifted them a goal. Oluwu mistake. You couldn't f**king write it could you?
Well, we regroup at half time.
More of the same second half. They've been great this half.
-
Totally against the run of play
-
Oliwubhas been solid at the back for 44 mins
-
That was cruel. There’s just no justice when you’re down and out.
-
Olowu loves a cock up doesn’t he?
-
i kid you not i just had a nostradamus moment there with Olowu there. Something told me he was gonna lose possesion and put us in trouble. Unbelievable, that we are losing this game.
-
Very unlucky to be losing ,could had had 3 or 4 that half ,much better display
-
Out-f**king-rageous!!
Wow
-
Cambridge are there for the taking. They'll park the bus and hit on the break early and try and nick a second.
Rovers just need to carry on doing the same. Run at them. Every time we've done that, there's been a chance.
-
More entertainment in the 45 than all season. What a shame. I hope they can keep heads up and carry on . Just take dodos off and get bogle on keep the rest as is. Credit to the couple of hundred here in good voice. Ducking freezing
-
Olowu loves a cock up doesn’t he?
Think that's unfair.
-
You can't make it up.
Let's keep positive, let's keep applauding the chances we're creating!
-
Well, whatever the outcome, I’ve seen enough tonight to tell me we are going to fight to stay up.
Bring it on.
-
Played well but that's just Sunday league defending, he has improved as a player but far to many times this season he makes glaring errors, he could do with a loan like the other younger ones but unfortunately we have no one else
-
I've accepted we are probably down.
That first-half performance (minus one mistake) gave me a lot of optimism.
-
It’s how react now, that was our best 45 mins of the season by a long way, but we are not getting any luck at all
-
More entertainment in the 45 than all season. What a shame. I hope they can keep heads up and carry on . Just take dodos off and get bogle on keep the rest as is. Credit to the couple of hundred here in good voice. Ducking freezing
Why take Dodoo off.
He has been great so far.
-
Olowu loves a cock up doesn’t he?
Think that's unfair.
Lots of potential but this isn’t the first mistake that has cost us a chance or even a goal. Needs to iron them out of his game.
Hard to see how our confidence won’t be shattered going into that dressing room, but if we keep our chins up and play like we did first half there’s every chance we’ll come back.

Totally agree he's done well - again. No changes yet, apart from that error it's been great. Martin looks quality.
-
I really hope the fans there keep encouraging the lads. They deserve it for their first half performance!
-
More experienced player would've taken their player down & given a free kick once they had lost control of the ball and taken a yellow for the team.
Played really well that half gives me hope that we will have a stronger end to the season which will hopefully give us momentum into a new Lge 2 season.
-
Best we have played for a long long time. Even the Cambridge commentary on iFollow said we are far and away the better team, unfortunately it is our failings up top that is letting us down.
-

We hit the woodwork four times. And had 2-3 scrambled away by desperate defending. That's not really us failing up top tonight. It's just bad luck really.
-
We've lost control the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half.
-
Come on guys let’s face it Cambridge we’re shocking in the first half but still go in 1-0 says all you need to know about this team

Good god
-
2-0 game over.

2-0

For f**k's sake.

Game. Set. Match. Season.

game over :-(
-
Well, we need a goal and fast. Bogle on.
-

We made Cambridge look shocking in first half.
We won’t dominate a good side like that ow look 2-0 now we are still shocking
-
Free header twice in the box it's all very well getting attacking options in but when our defence is shit it makes no difference
-
Game over. Season over.
We'll be back next season.
-
I still think we can get something out of this, just need to score pretty soon
-
Pretty obvious where GM needs to look to strengthen next
-
Sadly Dodoo is as effective in our area as he is in the oppositions area.

Yeah we are,especially defensively,but Cambridge wasnt' shocking in first half
-
Rowe is miles off it…
-
Yessss!!!! what a through pass from Josh Martin.
No more than we deserve.
-
Come on!!!
-
Dodoo, I knew it.
We are staying up. say we are staying up.
-
Game on 2-1
70' Neat link up play between Josh Martin and Matt Smith. The latter picks the ball up on the by-line and his cutback is turned in by Joe Dodoo. 2-1 #CAMDON #DRFC
COYR
-
Lovely goal well played
-
Good assist from Smith who will hopefully take confidence that he can be effective in attack
-
Come on lads.
-
Morecambe now losing 2-1. I’m beginning to dream! :thumbsup:
-
Currently 11 points from safety with all teams just above the drop zone with games in hand on us. It doesn't bode well.
-
Play like we have tonight for the next 20 games and we will give ourselves a chance
-
Well, at least the officials don't disappoint... not a scooby doo with some of the decisions.
-
Currently 11 points from safety with all teams just above the drop zone with games in hand on us. It doesn't bode well.
Come on B R, look what’s happening at Derby: 21 points deduction, but only 8 points from safety.

Hope so mate but cant see it , just hope the club has a long look at its self in the summer and starts with a clean slate
-
Matt Smith coming off … man of the match for me.

Indeed we might, dickos1. Let’s think positive, eh?
-
League two tour next season.
-
One win out of seven games in the league for GMC. Get some players in for defence and midfield
If you can’t do it because players won’t come tell the truth. Losing the last four games because we didn’t players in early.
-
Well, hit on the break for their third. Unlucky.
A mountain to climb but there is still hope.
-
First half good.
Second half, tepid.

Defecting to Mansfield are you?

Naive. You're naive. If it's that f**king easy.... you do it.
-
If anything feels like having your heart ripped out and stamped on that's it!!
-
We played well but I have just witnessed the worst substitution I have ever seen, why bring hasani on and take a attacking player off when we were all over them, this is why we needed a experienced manager
-
A better performance but the same result, if you don’t score you don’t win
Onwards and upwards on to Saturday
COYR
-
Just not lucky enough tonight.
-
Much better tonight. Which doesn't day much. We needed a CDM a proper CF and an experienced CB & got only Agard.
It's all too late and I firmly lay the blame with the board.
Olowu made a mistake...he's young and inexperienced- not to blame.
-

We should’ve won comfortably tonight and we didn’t because we hit the woodwork 4 times and had a couple cleared off the line.
You’ve not commented once during the game about how we’ve played or how the new signings have looked.
You’ve waited until the end just to make a ridiculous post
-
Clubs a joke , didn’t learn anything last season when we appointed butler , done same again and threw GM under the bus
-
Well, hit on the break for their third. Unlucky.
A mountain to climb but there is still hope.
There really isn't.
We have been so unutterably awful this season that just seeing us compete and make chances feels like a rebirth. But we are still miles away from being a side that would have any hope of finishing the season P20 W9 D3 L8. And if we did get that run, that would only give us an outside chance of staying up.
Just accept it. We are down. Look for signs of the rebound for next year.
-

Don’t be daft!

Nothing to do with experience

Tbf we do actually look as though we could do okay in lge2 next season. Under Wellens I was fearing for us next season.

Martin got a hamstring twinge about 5 mins or so before he came off, was trying to run it off, GM made the right call getting him off, if had gone and he was out for 2 months many on here would be crying like babies that he was kept on.

Great credit tonight to GMac. He changed the way we played and we looked a good side. Unfortunately you can only work with what you've got. We have absolutely no threat up front. The ifollow commentator summed it up when he said "and that's why Doncaster are going down"
-
Dickos.
Because we've just put in our best performance of the season and lost 3-1.
I admire your optimism, but if you truly don't get why we've just lost there, I'll save myself another pointless exchange.

Played really well tonight with all our issues, but the fundamental fault i see is we loose every header and are second in every 50/50, we don't have the size or physicality to match our game plan.
-

No threat at all upfront tonight?
Don’t be daft
-
Totally different outcome if we had scored just 2 of those clear chances in 1st half and there lies our problem, we are just not clinical enough. If we keep creating like we did in the 1st and we somehow get more clinical then I am encouraged that we will build some momentum to take into next season.

We lost because we battered them and couldn’t score, hit the woodwork 4 times.
That never happens
We could easily have put in exactly the same performance tonight and won comfortably
Anyway, people think we’ve no chance I think we’ve got a chance, it’s no biggy let’s just see

OK lets put it all down to bad luck shall we?
-
We lost because we battered them and couldn’t score
Precisely.
At root, the same basic problems exist.
We had 11 shots and scored 1
They had 8 shots and scored 3.
We've had ratios like that all season. Even on the rare occasions when we have been the better side outside the box, we can't score and we can't stop conceding. It would be a turn round of historic proportions to change that to the extent that we need to do to stop up.
-
We haven’t had ratios like that all season, most games we’ve had hardly any shots on target. Our expected goals stay is the lowest in the country. Tonight it was probably one of the highest

Like hell we have had ratios like that this season.
Some games we have only had one or two shots.
Tonight was a massive improvement on what I have seen all season.
-
Played well there. On another day we would have been a few up by half time.
The score absolutely flattered them.
Lots of hope and positives should be taken from that.

Don't kid yourself, we would struggle against all current 4th division teams with our present side, we have small weak players who constantly loose out in challenges, we are slow to attack any ball and we look off the pace all over the pitch,we loose or do not compete in most header situations, ever, this has been a constant all season, we can't do anything about our players stature but they could all be 25% fitter, this is fundamental to any side in any league.

I’m not disputing some of what you say there but I was disputing what you said about us not winning any headers or 50/50s tonight.
I agree that our midfielders are too lightweight in general.

Some positivity all round,

GMc has already identified that we need to be fitter and work harder and he has stated that the approach to player fitness/workrate will be changing (or in his words "coming back"). If this is addresses and we get 3 or 4 big physical mesters in the team we will have a good chance of coming straight back up.
