Was that interview with Dickov done underwater?

[Sheepskin Stu]

Oh dear. Jones has done his neck again.

[glosterred]

Now that's not sounding good - Jones holding his neck

COYR

 

[glosterred]

And now De-Val is down - it is not starting well

COYR

[Bristol Red Rover]

Oh, dear

At least Barnsley are losing...

[Sheepskin Stu]

The bench looks a bit youthful tonight. Jones off.

[Lipsy]

Another injury... 

[glosterred]

Fantastic - Jones off neck again and Wakefield on - it does not bode well for the season does it

COYR

 

[Lipsy]

Thing is, Rob Jones only goes off when it's serious... Gotta feel for him. Hope it's only precautionary - it says it's on doctor's advice.

[Sheepskin Stu]

The injury he got last season would finish many a career.

[DonnyOsmond]

Back 5 with an average age of 21. Oldest is 22.

[Bristol Red Rover]

I'd be surprised if Jones isn't out for at least a week and prefer us to have McCombe in fit than to get a loanee after this. Stability in defence is essential for a successful season.

[glosterred]

Noticing that Jones has yet to be substituted on the BBC website - BBC never knowingly right

COYR

 

[dickos1]

It'll be a lot longer than a week, could be the end of him now

[glosterred]

It'll be a lot longer than a week, could be the end of him now

Could be right - not worth risking permanent injury for the sake of football and DRFC

[PDX_Rover]

Lads doing well.

[glosterred]

Half time 0-0 a better game than Saturday that's for sure

COYR

[Bristol Red Rover]

One of the best halfs for us I've heard in a while. Great that the defence has held up, and midfield seems to have been forced into a formation that works 

If it's his shoulder, Jones could be okay. Easy to get an injury to some part near to the old injury as areas around it take time to get into shape.

[Bristol Red Rover]

Preston commentary impressed with us "a very good side".

[Lipsy]

And thus:

HT 0-0. Can't stress how much of an improvement that was from first half Saturday - just no goals to show for it. #drfc

[River Don]

It'll be a lot longer than a week, could be the end of him now

If he's off on Doctors advice, it could just be precautionary, they will have to be very careful with him where neck injuries are concerned. Best not jump to conclusions too soon.

[glosterred]

Good to see that the BBC are on the ball

45:00 +2:45 Substitution
Substitution
Substitution, Doncaster Rovers. Liam Wakefield replaces Rob Jones because of an injury.

Sky Sports score centre reports the same. Lazy Jurno's?????

[Copps is Magic]

Love this type of rovers performance. Best players off and suspended. Backs to the wall stuff and they come out fighting. Would love to nick this game 1-0. come on lads.

[PDX_Rover]

Chance for the "youngsters" to step up. A good test.

[Bristol Red Rover]

Preston commentators noting how consitently poor our balls into the box are.
