Don't know what to expect tomorrow, but welcome to the new players and best wishes to the ones who have left.  It will be a nice start to the season now the Keepmoat is being run by the club, so is more of a real home for everyone.  Fingers crossed for a good result, and positive thoughts for the season.

[MachoMadness]

[dickos1]

Woods, Quinn, jones, spurr, husband
Copps, Keegan, woods, cotterill
Bennett, brown

[MachoMadness]

Well you'd hope that team would be good enough to beat York. First test starts in 15 minutes, come on Rovers!

 

[dickos1]

Updates please, I'm in San fran and can't get commentary anywhere

[CottyRover]

Is it on Player? The written commentary is there, but no sound.

[Bristol Red Rover]

3-4,000 Donny fans. Not a lot to say so far, York started brightly, we're beginning to wake up. Even Stevens.

Yes its on Player http://www.player.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/live-matches

Doesnt work on iPad

[CottyRover]

Still not getting any sound. 

[godlike1]

York fans full of singing, and had a couple of shots on target. Rovers playing like a team trying to get used to each other with no fluidity. York looking better

[Bristol Red Rover]

you have to click the Doncaster button so its blue and hit start... turn your sound up??

[DearneValleyRover]

Lacklustre is about the best I can describe us, both their full backs are shite but we've hardly taken them on. Copps seems to have forgotten how to control the ball, Keegan never been a footballer and as usual a complete tool for a ref.

[godlike1]

Just had 1st shot on target from a cotterill and another just go wide. Lack of midfield and creativity seem to be what I'm taking from this So far

[CottyRover]

Thanks, BRR. Got it now!

[Bristol Red Rover]

Tweets saying we look solid defensively - from York fans

[DearneValleyRover]

No pace very little imagination and I think we've forgot to tell our players it's not a friendly.

[CottyRover]

 Maybe I was better off without the sound! 

[graingrover]

cheer up you miserable lot. New season new team same old moaners on here .When we ae winning it will become your team again no doubt.

Be content that at least you haven't got the vision 

[dickos1]

Our record in this comp has been terrible for many years now, notts county, acc Stanley, off top of my head and we had decent seasons after those games.

[Bristol Red Rover]

cheer up you miserable lot. New season new team same old moaners on here .When we ae winning it will become your team again no doubt. 

Glad you're back mate

I'm taking the positive of us seeming to be fairly solid defensively. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the bottom line requirement from DS today in the first half. Prepare for a second half of midfield mastery!

[godlike1]

Jones can def head the ball and had not scored an own goal yet so that's a plus ;-)

To be fair, defence has looked solidish. I think it's going to take time and we are going to have to be patient until we have a team with some sort of identity. We don't know the type of football deano is after yet and I certainly have not been able to tell since he's been in charge.

If he can get a creative midfielder in to replace stock then I do think we have the players to turn games in our favour. Cotteril def has some class when he shows it I will give him that

"Really good save by Gary Woods"

"Really good save by Gary Woods" 

Don't start getting all positive now!

[godlike1]

Cops is waving his arms around a lot as if to ask where his other team mates are at times, jones cannot pass to save his life. Woods just pulled off a good save and syers on for keegan. More to give York fans to cheer than rovers by some way so far this half
