Rovers v Crewe

[ian1980]

Absolute joke

[Dabby]

Something ,got to change same old, match after match .

Can we do something positive at the half-time break and sack Schofield.

[IDM]

Best we could get was a 0-0 as soon as that 1st went it it’s game over. Not helped by our injuries but with nothing to play for at least we could try and entertain.

Agreed that those wearing the shirt should show some fight.

Not sure how well we can be expected to do with virtually a first team out injured.

Not defending him, but the manager is hardly to blame for the injuries, nor are the board.

DS is skating on very thin ice however.

[steve@dcfd]

Do his wages have to be paid if he walks I wonder?

You’ve answered you’re own question he won’t walk not when he’s got 12 month wages to come.

Problem is we have been abysmal without injuries too! Its not the injuries thats the problem

[Scooter]

Can we sack him at half time?

Stop making excuses, IDM. Every club has injuries. This sh*te has being going on for 2 years now.

The club deserves an empty f*cking stadium.

[bobbymax]

Well if he's not gone tonight I really don't know what's going on
 Utter shambles!!!

Northampton are in the promotion places and have 12 players out injured….

[steve@dcfd]

If Westbrooke can’t start why did we sign him

[IDM]

We’ve had injuries all season.. never a settled side and poor management..

I’m not defending the manager, I did say he’s on very thin ice..  I don’t usually criticise too harshly but I wouldn’t be surprised nor disappointed if he’s gone by Monday.

So no, I’m not defending him nor making excuses.

We couldn’t score before all the injuries

He is to blame for playing a system and style which doesn't seem to suit even one of the players in our team. Mindless playing out from the back with a GK and CBs who aren't good on the ball. Wingbacks who seem to have been told not to attack. Two in CM when none of our CMs have any bite or mobility. One striker when none of our strikers have the physicality to play up top alone. And wingers, the only position we seem to have genuine quality at this level, who seem so confused as to what their role is that they end up doing nothing at all. He's got to take some blame for that, no?

[anton123]

As it stands we are by far the worst team in the football league and I’m very worried for next season

[monkeytennis]

Players couldn’t sprint off the pitch fast enough at half time.

[adamtherover]

I’m not defending the manager, I did say he’s on very thin ice..  I don’t usually criticise too harshly but I wouldn’t be surprised nor disappointed if he’s gone by Monday.

So no, I’m not defending him nor making excuses.

the second you mentioned injuries is the same as defending him.  Both goals have come from the rediculous notion that we are able to play out from the back like man city. It's a farce, and puts us under pressure all the time. He never learns from things that are going disastriously wrong ffs 

[Lesonthewest]

One shot on target in 45 minutes of absolute desolate football. Players going through the motions, no organisation, poor passing, no plan, players running around aimlessly, defense shambolic, & we want to give this absolute joke of a manager the summer?

[ScillyRover]

If Westbrooke can’t start why did we sign him

I also think that Agard if lacking in many respects has a decent ability to hold the ball up and bring others into play. So why the hell has DS not started him today? Just totally puzzling.

[normal rules]

is this an april fool?
ive been busy with other more important things today and just switched on the half times.

[monkeytennis]

Well I certainly feel foolish turning up to watch so yes

[ScillyRover]

is this an april fool?

Well, you’ve just missed the best 45 minutes of football this season. For Crewe that is

[DonnyOsmond]

Enter Sandman has been a brilliant choice to come out to.

[IDM]

So by expressing an opinion without extreme views or vociferously demanding his sacking, I’m defending him?

He’s failing, yes.  Of course injuries don’t help but if folks read my posts properly I did say the players should show some fight and surely that’s down to the manager?

A few games ago I did suggest the players weren’t giving their all for him.  Either way, it’s not working is it?

[anton123]

We may as well sack schofield tonight as we are going to loose every game til end of season and that’s not acceptable and impossible to brush under the carpet

[les@donr]

P45 and taxi for DS this evening.

[Dabby]

Substitution, Doncaster Rovers. Zain Westbrooke replaces Liam Ravenhill.

Substitution, Doncaster Rovers. Jack Goodman replaces Todd Miller.

[sedwardsdrfc]

DS won’t be sacked. He should be but he won’t because he has the injury excuse now.

We all know it wouldn’t be much different with a full 11 . We never got near the opponents goal when we had strikers anyway. Glad I’m not trader again today. Can’t justify it and sounds like it’s another good decision

[Ronnie Dovers]

I know it's irrelevant, but seeing Barnsley near the top of league one, 4-0 up with all goals scored by recent ex-Donny players is an extra kick in the nuts when we really don't need one.

[Jersey Rover]

We definitely need a manager in charge with a proven experience of leagues 1 and 2.
It’s a totally different game plan at this level.
