Two years

[mushRTID]

Team 2 years ago:

Balcombe, Halliday, James, Anderson (c), Wright, Okenabirhie, Richards, John-Jules, Butler, Simoes, John.

Substitutes: Jones, Lokilo, Amos, Williams, Coppinger, Blythe, Ravenhill.

Team yesterday:

Mitchell, Anderson (c), Williams, Seaman, Maxwell, Nelson, Close, Biggins, Molyneux, Hurst, G Miller,

Substitutes: Jones, Olowu, Lakin, Brown, T Miller, Lavery, Barlow

Anyone from yesterday's team you'd have over the one from two years ago? No me neither.

Hurst over Simoes all day long. He wasn’t even a footballer was he?
Maxwell over John.
Might sound daft but Miller over John Jules who didn’t do a great deal for us.

I didn’t realise Ravenhill was around the first team squad 2 years ago. It’s probably time he was making more of an impact if he’s going to make it.

Hurst over Simoes. Simoes was utterly awful. Halliday was atrocious also but unbelievably he’s better than what we currently have.

[BigH]

I'll give you Hurst over Simoes, who was in on loan.

But you get my point?!

Yes, Hurst over Simoes.

Based on yesterday, I've a feeling Brown will be better than Halliday.

ye forgot about him to be honest.

Saw a feature on TV this morning about Stevenage along with a lengthy section on Fatty Evans. Interview at home in his kitchen with his two dogs. He is clearly going to win the league with little old Stevenage this season which really does make you think doesn't it.

I get that he's poison but he knows how to get a club out of the lower leagues. Makes me think there's a time and a place for trying to be the nice principled soft and fluffy club we seem to have become. We're a pushover of a club with no stomach.

Shithouses. That's what this club has lacked for a year or two now. We need a shithouse on the board, a shithouse for a Manager and some shithouses in the playing squad.

I think I’ve said it on here before that the footballing side of this club is in such a state that I would take Fatty Evans here with open arms in a heartbeat. Can’t believe it’s come to this but it’s just the sort of character we need at this moment in time. Even if only for a short time.

He's the sort of Manager we've needed for quite some time. Imagine someone of his experience of the lower leagues being appointed at the time we appointed McSheffrey. Would anyone seriously have bet against him getting us that couple of points extra that were needed to retain our League 1 status?

But we don't make appointments of his ilk. Because we're a nice club and we recruit nice people.

There would have been an uproar if he had been appointed.  People would have been burning their season tickets in the streets of Doncaster.

Little bit over the top there Campsall, if someone like him came in then yes there would be wails from plenty on here, your average Rovers fan would just look at his record, if he did for us what he's done for many a club he can run around the Eco in his big y fronts, wearing as much mascara as he wants and i'd buy him a crate of iron bru to go with it too.

I was there that night at Belle Vue when Evans should have been done for incitement. Everyone in the ground wanted to lynch him. I presume you were there too. If I'm thinking of the right game, I think a certain J Kelly was on the scoresheet for us. Got sent off as well I think. Did anyone burn their season ticket at the fact we had a player turn out for us who had done time for kicking someone to death outside a nightclub? No, they didn't. Did people burn their season tickets at the sewer rat Diouf playing for us? Or a certain John Ryan, allegedly guilty of his fair share of dodgy deals (featured on the Cook Report back in the day i think) owning us?  Or Fergie who slapped his wife about?

We'd all hold our noses and support the club just like we always have done and you know it. We've had more than our fair share of wrong-uns and it would take more than Fatty to stop me supporting them. Especially if he brought success.

It's all academic of course because he isn't coming here. But I use him as an example of how a bit of shithousery can go a long way when you're struggling.

Ok
Keep your hair on.

I was exaggerating. Should have put an emoji next to my post.

Let’s face it we do have a lot of supporters who despise the man.

I live on the outskirts of Boston. The bloke would need full on police protection if he ever stepped foot back in this town again.
He is a horrible man. And I saw and knew things of him that were never made public.
I would shelve my support for drfc if he was ever employed at drfc. And only return when he was kicked out.
There are shithouses. Then there is Steve Evans.

he would have been hated when he was appointed but if we did well under his leadership everything would soon have been forgotten

Some D.R.F.C fans would rather have mid table mediocrity than appoint Steve Evans and get us promoted back to league 1.

That said no one was ever keen with Richie Wellens, it would have intrigued me had we have stuck with him because we haven't done much better since he left and he is doing remarkably well for himself.

I'd have stuck with him but he realised he'd been sold a pup and was more than happy to walk away
