Game.

Lacked quality, lacked composure with some brief glimpses in 2nd half we were a half decent team. Marquis lonely up front.

It ain't good at the moment.

Unbeaten in 5 games in all competition, you win some you draw some

Would have taken that at 3pm

I offered my opinion on the performance. Thinks that's a generous reading of the form. We've got enough to stay up but it will be close.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Copps. How about this for a reading of the form?

Last 8 games we've played 5 of the current top 10 sides. Our form is

W3 D2 L3

Comfortable mid-table form.

[Donnyjim]

Rovrum conceded in the 94th minute. Another reason to be cheerful! 

[dickos1]

Very good result that,
They have a good home record if we can get something on Tuesday it'll be a good week

[RoversAlias]

I fully believe we'll be better in front of goal when May is back. We have a winning run in us, hopefully that's just around the corner.

Another game where Marquis isn’t taking advantage of his opportunities. January has to bring changes this is becoming serious when we’ve played more games than goals scored.

You're busting a gut to point out we're bang average at best.

Now, either you have some incredible foresight and patience for the direction Fergie is taking the club, or you're failing to see that a broadly good bunch of players are putting in below potential, disorganised performances on a regular basis which can be seldom described in glowing terms.

Sorry Copps don’t agree they are a team who are playing at their potential and the more they do that then we will see an improvement if we go back to a attacking formation we will get beat because these players play to gun ho in that formation.

I'm not being funny but if fans are pissing and whining about a draw away against a side that reached the playoffs last year and are just outside them this year, a side that's only lost  2 home games all season.
What chance have you got
Unbelievable

[since-1969]

We are at our limit and shows . This probably the first game that we’ve not lost when DF has taken Copps off , so thats an improvement.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

We are bang average but isn't that fine this season? We're moving forward steadily but that's a good thing. Don't go too quick build slowly. But we are improving. We would have lost today 3 months ago.

[BigH]

A good result today. Not a nice place to go, and has been pointed out elsewhere, they've turned a number of teams over at home this season. Looks like the penny might have dropped for DF that these are the games where you go to grind out a point. Hope that history doesn't repeat itself; when we drew 0-0 there a couple of years back it heralded the start of our 17 game winless run!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Copps

I think you're mistaking facts for opinions mate.

It is a fact that we've played 5 of the current top 10 in our last 8 games. It's a fact that we've had comfortable mid-table form in those 8 games.

I didn't offer any opinion on that. And I certainly didn't bust a gut. It took all of 10 seconds to establish those facts.

Did you watch the game?

Of ever pleasing some fans

[besty]

Doncaster became the first team to stop Fleetwood scoring at Highbury this season as they drew 0-0.

[Alan Southstand]

It's just another cheap throw-away comment, bst, and once again our striker gets it. I'd like to know who we have that is going to do any better. There was signs against Rotherham that the lad is getting some form back.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Alan

I can only think there there are two possibilities when someone says that Marquis wasn't taking advantage of opportunities.

1) He didn't watch the match, in which case he's no idea what he's taking about.

2) He did watch the match, in which case I've no idea what he's talking about.

So that's the primary objective is it, as opposed to not threatening the club with another relegation?

[dickos1]

Drawing away at sides like fleetwood isn't relegation form.
That's the point

[anne honemous]

It's a point, it's better than I expected, so I'm very happy with the result.

Not every game is going to pretty or glamorous but if we can pick up a point from a difficult game like this, then it's more than okay.

Hopefully we can do the same at Wigan.

Football should be entertaining. Would love to see the rovers go out there and try and beat teams rather then just not get beat. Haven't really had it since dave Penney left all those years ago!

[Chris Black come back]

1.1 points game probably is relegation form though.

I'd rather us stay up every year by whatever means necessary.

Attractive football is secondary to achieving results. SO'D's football was very attractive when it was good, but often it was very boring and there was far too much sideways passing when a shot at goal would have been the better option.

[dickos1]

Bury and Plymouth would need to start playing title winning form to catch us or we would have to significantly drop our form.
So two places left

Drawing away at fleetwood is a very good result, I can't get my head around people moaning about it

[dickos1]

Keeping up our form over the first 18 games would get us 51-52 points.
I don't think we'd go down with that.

Our form over the last 10 games is 1.3 points per game, if we carried this on we would end up on 57-58 points
