Todays team
COYR
-
451 formation by the looks of it , Galbraith on the bench as well
-
Mipo so far has offered nothing especially as a focal point so seeing him up top on his own is worrying. Maybe Reo is out of shape after playing every game but you can just see the ball will be coming back very quickly unless we play s shorter game
-
4-5-1 ?
Not sure about mipo as a lone striker but hopefully it works as they are starting to become must wins at this stage
-
Maybe the play a high line and we can get behind them with pace
-
Unless he is unfit , it is surprising that Griffiths doesn't start.
-
4-2-3-1, could be a possibility
-
Unless he is unfit , it is surprising that Griffiths doesn't start.
Played from the start almost every game since signing, having neevr played senior football before. He was looking leggy in recent games and Mipo has been brighter off the bench.
Let's hope it's a set-up that can benefit us today, we need to have more on the ball and in theory have 3/4 ball players in midfield to facilitate that.
-
Let's hope there's signs of the work they've put in on the training ground.
Hope Rowe has a free role to get in and around the box as much as possible and follow on from last week's second half performance.
-
Alfie May scores today. That's all I know.
-
Just settling down to watch it now
-
Come on Donny!!!!!!

12' Yellow card for Joseph Olowu as he brings down Kion Etete
#drfc #CHEDON
From the follow up free kick Jackson clears off the line
COYR
-
Marquis has put Lincoln in front against the Wensdeh.
-
I don’t like these negative line ups … puts us under pressure from the first minute
-
Alfie … had to be
-
1-0
-
Alfie May scores today. That's all I know.
Meh
-
Alfie May scores today. That's all I know.
-
We’ve had another, awful and negative start and now go behind as usual
-
Morecambe 1-0 down to Plymouth.
-
Why did the keeper leave such a massive gap
-
Ugh we’ve nothing up front. Was always going to be the issue from the team sheet.
-
Terrible set up of the wall and were was the keeper stood
-
Did he celebrate?
-
Alfie May scores today. That's all I know.
Meh
It was in the stars.
-
I bet everyone’s so happy we let A Maye go because he wasn’t good enough for us. What a relief ?????
-
How did I not have a quid on that :facepalm:
-
Did he celebrate?
No
-
Why did the keeper leave such a massive gap
Not able to view this game today but was he stood in the centre of the goal as was recommended earlier in the season.
-
It was a good free kick to be fair , sometimes u have to just hold your hands up
-
For those who think ball possession is important, we have had 58% in our favour at this point.
-

Nah he wasn't. Wall didn't even bother to jump
-
We're a shambles defensively.
-

Yeah, majority of which has been passing back to Mitchell
-
Did he celebrate?
Why does it matter?
-
Can someone tell the players who stand in the wall that they are allowed to jump.
-
Did he celebrate?
Why does it matter?
Because I was just curious?
-
Refs shit as usual
-
Why did the keeper leave such a massive gap
Bad goalkeeping that, made it easy for May.
-

Then when they jump and a player puts one under them and scores know doubt you'll be on here with another pearl of wisdom. Can someone tell the players they don't have to jump!

You leave one player lying on the floor god its like you dont even watch footy
-
And if it hits the prone player on the arm it’s probably a penalty..
-
Gillingham, Morecambe and Wimbledon are all losing as it stands. Silver linings and all that.
-
This ref seems a bit card happy, might not be 11 v 11 if he keeps this up
COYR
-
Someone tell the players the other scores at half time.? Give them a bit of a boot.?
-
Gillingham, Morecambe and Wimbledon are all losing as it stands. Silver linings and all that.
Crewe as well.
-
The iFollow commentators are so irritating. I hope we quickly equalise to shut them up before I watch in silence.
-
37 minutes in we've not threatened their goal.
-
I'll make a second bold prediction. We won't start playing until 60 minutes.
-
2-0 game over
-
2-0
-
Typical GM set up. 1 up front toothless. Usual change at half time when we’re losing to 442 shape and we will play better
-
37 minutes in we've not threatened their goal.
Some things never change!
-
2-0 game over
Why.? Was it game over last week.?
-
Pathetic
-
We’ve been dreadful defensively and offered next to nothing going forward
-
Terrible defending again from our two fullbacks. First to let them get the cross in, second for the uncontested header at the back post.
-
Any hope we had has now gone.
-
Abysmal.
Quite enjoying watching Cheltenham though.
-
Alfie May scores today. That's all I know.
And Mipo doesn't

Crossed in by Matty Blair.
-

No exaggeration, he's had less than 5 touches all game.
-
We have offered very little up front ,need to go 2 up top and chance something as we look poor
-
What lousy defending, everyone ball watching. Far too soft.
-
Why is GM not seeing what we all can see , mipo as a lone forward really, not held it up once or won 1 header , shocking decisions
-
All other scores going in our favour and we can't capitalise on it FFS!
-
This team on paper should be performing far better than this first half performance. It’s Cheltenham ffs and we can’t manage a shot on goal
-
Mipo looks a boy lost in a mans game
-
We are in no position to diss Cheltenham.
They are far better than us as things stand.
-
We've come back from 2 nil before RTID
-

Cheltenham are a good side with a very good manager. A strong goalscorer up front in May and they have double the amount of league goals as we do this season.
-
Why is GM not seeing what we all can see , mipo as a lone forward really, not held it up once or won 1 header , shocking decisions
He hasn't won one header , the only header he's had was uncontested.
-
Struggling to understand why Odubeko is up top on his own. What is the thinking there? He doesn't compete or put himself about. Odd decision.
-

Correct
-
Absolute shambolic defending for the 2nd, absolutely all over the place. Knoyle picks up May in the middle, so why doesn't anyone track the wing back.
-

I’ve said before this season, that we are f**king atrocious all over the park at heading the ball. I’d love to know how many goals we’ve conceded at the far stick this season also.
-

miles better actually look like a football team
-
How does GM set us up? Does he set us up?
Apart from the Sunderland game, we've looked lost and disorganized every single 1st half we've played under him.
-
Giving away cheap goals again, but we did the same last week and came back. So fingers crossed for the second half

Because he’s shocking but had a bit of luck to snatch us a few points !
-
GM defensive minded. Every game give the opposition a start. Bench full of strikers, dreadful tactics
-
The iFollow commentators are so irritating. I hope we quickly equalise to shut them up before I watch in silence.
Or just switch the audio to "away" ?
-

Has had a full week to set us up for today. We don't look like we know how to play forward after we get over the halfway line, and can't defend when the ball is around our box. Dreadful combination.
-
The players we have at are disposal now should not be performing this bad week in week out !
For me it’s down to the manager and coaches just not up to it to set them up to there strength and help then with there weaknesses. Need a better manager ASAP

All decent first half performances

We’re in the midst of our best form of the season by a long way.
-
Their commentators said that Cheltenham play better when they attack the end where their fans are , so that's something to look forward to....not.

Oh here he comes, the violinist on the titantic.
-
Players we have a part from Rowe would struggle to get in any league 1sides. The manager and coaches we have would not get jobs in any league 1 side. We are what we are a club who continue to slide towards league 2 and possibly the National league. I have no confidence that the people who run our club have any idea how to make the situation better.
-
Rovers are making a double change to start the second half
OFF:
Josh Martin and Dan Gardner
ON:
Ethan Galbraith and Reo Griffiths
#drfc #CHEDON
COYR
-
Tommy Rowe to spearhead a second half revival ..... maybe.
-
Ref is a knob stain.
-
This ref seems a bit card happy, might not be 11 v 11 if he keeps this up
COYR
Thought so
COYR
-
Clayton off, useful.
-
Stupid putting your arm up should no better
-
Ref is a knob stain.
4th official looked like he gave that. What a t**t. First one tho the ref gave was soft as f**k tbf
-
Didn’t think there was anything in that, but we’ll get nowt from this now
-
Think we have to be honest we are poor, next season we need hopefully a more attack minded manager and several new players lol
-
I'm turning off. If we score two goals and make me look like a mug so be it but I'm done.
-
And what really f**ks me off is the tackle on younger last week, the player stays on and the player scores
-
Didn’t think there was anything in that, but we’ll get nowt from this now
his elbow caught him nothing malicious but a defo foul
-
Think we have to be honest we are poor, next season we need hopefully a more attack minded manager and several new players lol
Don't forget that McSheff was the outstanding candidate.
-
Robbie on comms said that Cheltenham aren’t pretty but effective. Compared to us, they’re beautiful !
-

Aye, I'd describe a team like Accrington as not pretty but effective whereas these are decent on the ball too. That Etete lad up top is good.
-
Was a foul ,but not a yellow , it we have been poor
-
Was a foul ,but not a yellow , it we have been poor
to be fair very few rovers players moaned about it
-
If everyone else losses around us then we still have a chance in theory, but there’s no way this team wins enough games to get us out of the shite
-
Biggest problem?
Lack of effort. Something still not right attitude wise at the club. Some of the players show the desire like Smith, Rowe & Olowu others look like they can't be arsed.

A Certain loanee in particular.

Unless Martin is injured seems strange taking him off

He wasn't doing anything. Next sub had to be Agard on for Mipo (who has been Cukur levels of useless today)

They are not good enough but let’s just say they can’t be bothered
-
Fleetwood have just gone behind as well, and Gillingham had a man sent off ahead of playing us.
-
Biggest problem?
…others look like they can't be arsed.
All they are ‘arsed’ about is about the size of their bank balance…win, lose or draw.
-
When do we start playing our easy games when we win them all and stay up?
-
Lovely goal from Alfie 3-0
We haven’t got a single forward with anything like his qualities.
-
3 goals now 20 for Alfie this season I think, not bad for a player not up to this standard of football according to a lot on here.
-
More crap defending, when will they learn
COYR
-
20 goals for the season.
-
We have no chance of staying up far to many performances are terrible, we have improved in certain matches against the better teams but overall there is no improvement from wellens being in charge, for me start looking for a new manager now that can motivate and actually sign a decent player
-
3 goals now 20 for Alfie this season I think, not bad for a player not up to this standard of football according to a lot on here.
Just goes to show where we was and where we are at now over a very short period of time
-
All of the bottom 6 currently losing, but we’re running out of games..
-
WTF, we're making him look like Messi, unreal defending.
-
Alfie May's 2 games vs Rovers have been the best performances I've seen in all our matches from a forward this season.
For a club that said he wasn't really L1 standard we have made him look like Messi.
-
Bottom six all behind.
Apart from one game fewer to play then nothing has changed if things stay as they are today.
Two successive wins against Gillingham and Fleetwood are now seriously required.
-
We just don’t threaten consistently enough to put a string of results together.. we have looked more than good enough in periods in quite a few games, but nowhere near often enough..
-
4-0
-
At least other results are still going our way
-
A stooping header in the six yard box from a corner. f**king hell. Jesus f**king wept.
-
Pathetic performance for about the 20th time this season
-

Agreed IDM. We have been poor for the majority of the season.
-
We need to sort ourselves out. One thing losing but we just get battered when we lose
-
Yet more crap defending
COYR
-

We have had a few thumpings haven't we.
-
I'll be honest, I thought we had a chance before todaqy. Whilst this may not be the mathematical nail it's a massive defeat, especially if Lincoln win.
-
We are on course to concede over 90 league goals this season.
-
And another, we have no way of stopping wingers coming down our flanks, and then it is inevitable that somebody latches on. Keep it up lads, Conference at the end of next season unless they do something in training about this sort of rubbish.
-
We are the smallest team to play hoof ball I have ever seen
-
It must be a confidence thing.?
-
New manager and back room staff needed
-
Wow. That’s 72 goals conceded this season. I repeat SEVENTY TWO. We don’t deserve to stay up. We’re as good as down.
-
3 goals now 20 for Alfie this season I think, not bad for a player not up to this standard of football according to a lot on here.
f**king hell. It's tedious. No one has said he isn't up to League One standard right now.
-

I'm not sure anything has changed today if the scores stay as they are.
I reckon relegation will go to Crewe then three of the next five from bottom clubs.
-

It really is crazy.
-
Their commentator ‘it’s difficult to name a league 1 side that are more blunt up front’
-
Cheltenham strengthened in January with better players while we thought we had. It’s over now we will be relegated this manager along with the staff that brought in the players have no idea along with the people who run our club. It will continue next season if they allow it.
-
Another poor performance. Only bright spot on a poor day is that those around us also lost.
Onto Saturday for a big, big game against the Gills
Onwards and upwards
COYR
-
Oh well...
Back to WWIII
-
I have rarely seen a side play without absolutely no clue tactically or as a unit going forward, it's like nobody seems to know how or where to play as a unit, it's absolutely shocking. I really do wonder what happens in training.

Well I am sure it doesn't involve a football

I'd say we've been watching that for a full calendar year now, under three different managers.
-
Turning out to be a poor decision appointing McSheffrey, nothing much has changed. I'm not so sure anyone with any credentials wanted the job though.
-
Oh well...
Back to WWIII
do you know what. Joking aside, this whole Ukrainian episode has put a lot of things in perspective for me of late and, although I love my club, if we get relegated, then so what. So be it. It really is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. We’ll still, hopefully, be able to go watch them next season.
-
Turning out to be a poor decision appointing McSheffrey, nothing much has changed. I'm not so sure anyone with any credentials wanted the job though.
Results over the last month or so have been much better. If they hadn’t been we’d be relegated by now.
Many of the folk going mad are indeed the ones who said we’d be down by the end of feb, yet we’re still right in it.

Ok we've picked up a few results but we can't string together successive wins, that alone will be our downfall!
Oh and when we do lose it's a big one!
-

I don’t believe under Club Doncaster on their own without the benefactors money now have the finances to get any body with credentials to move this club forward we are in free fall.
-
Alfie May scores today. That's all I know.
Meh
It was in the stars.
When Alfie was in the goals a few games ago someone on here suggested that people were fawning about a Cheltenham bit part player in a third division team.
Out of curiosity i have just looked at his stats based on the bbc league one top scorers list.
Thirty five appearances doesn't suggest he is a bit part player and his goals per minute played, shots on target, goal conversion and shot accuracy are right up there with the best of them.
I was thinking of starting a new thread to mention all that but i guess i will get enough stick just for mentioning it on here.

I agree, we are in freefall but surely we could have got someone in with an element of experience with our budget? Flynn who did so well with Newport was out of work - now at Walsall I believe. Would have got this lot playing.

Well for starters we don’t need to win two successive games
If we win 4/5 of our remaining 9 games then we will stay up
