Baptist to feature

[deebee]

Playing in the under 23 match against Rotherham today ( 4th) 1pm ko. Hope he comes through it OK.

[Woodhead Passer]

Praying that he doesn't pick up another injury

[IDM]

Wonder if any of the new signings might be some time in that game, if not involved tonight.?

Good to see Baptiste coming back however, I had expected him to be out for the whole season..

[the vicar]

We have not seen enough of the religious man but I don't think he is anywhere near the quality ot the other centre halves, but I hope he comes through today in good shape

[Alan Southstand]

Is it away or at Cantley?

[deebee]

Doesn't say on DROS

[Alan Southstand]

It’s at home, I think. Checked the u23’s fixtures via google!

[the vicar]

Don't the u23s usually play at the Keepmoat Stadium

[Retdon1]

Don't the u23s usually play at the Keepmoat Stadium

Only for the premier league cup games I think. The rest are usually at cantley

[Anton B]

1 down already

[CGJ]

0-2 down already

[steve@dcfd]

It’s now 0.  3 but looking at the two sides it was expected.

[BawtryRed]

Is Dion Pereira playing ?

No

HT | Doncaster 0 v 3 Reserves.

Goals from Koroma, Lindsay and Clarke have the Millers comfortably ahead at Cantley Park at the interval.


ROVERS XI v @OfficialRUFC | Trialist,  Walker, Horton, Blythe, Baptiste, Hasani, Greaves, McGowan, Kiwomya, Gibbons, Amos.

SUBS | Johnson, Dimou, Watson, Smith, Clemitson. #DRFC

Only 5 players from the last U23 game and Amos is playing further forward.
None of the front four that played Aston Villa are playing today. Against a stronger Rotherham side.

[BawtryRed]

I’m not sure if that is good or bad (after the review from Alan Southstand)

[Alan Southstand]

Men against boys.

Rotherham subbed all their (what looked like first team squad) players off and then it was competitive.

Nah but would be good for them to play on the athletic pitch surely. 500 capacity isn't it? Altho I couldn't believe how bad the state of the grass was on there the other week. Bit of a waste

[the vicar]

The athletes track is nothing to do with the Rovers now I don't think

[roversdude]

How did Baptiste do

[Alan Southstand]

Not bad, given how long he’s been out. In fact, he seemed to be warming to the task as the first half wore on. Unfortunately, Rotherham were already 3 up.

[jackthelad]

Nice that he’s back and getting fit again, I did think he would be out longer to be honest.

Can’t really see him getting a chance in first team at the moment to be honest, not seen a great deal of him since he signed admittedly but he would certainly be behind Wright,John and Anderson at CB I’m sure. Barring a few injuries he probably won’t even get in the squad.
