All eyes to Thursday.......

[drfchound]

I watched the second half and Bradford were quite poor and County only a touch better, except for McGoldrick.
We certainly have enough to beat them both.
Both teams struggled to put more than two or three passes together before they gave the ball away.

[Padge_DRFC]

Another gift for us will we take it or keep floundering

[GazLaz]

37-year-old McGoldrick scores a wonder goal.

Is experience the most overrated attribute in football?

He's just a very good footballer

DM is a Notts County fan and always wanted to play for them. He’s a huge outlier when it comes to  decisions made on players of that age. He’s levels above this division.

Really enjoyed watching that and it’s amazing how we all see games differently. For the first 60 mins or so I thought both teams were fast, strong and well organised, attacking at pace and in numbers and closing down in numbers. Plenty of one touch passing and movement as well, something we’re sadly lacking this season. Big game tomorrow and Monday then let’s see what we have to do after that

[Metalmicky]

I note that Bradford's goal scorer Ciaran Kelly went off injured late on.... so might be a doubt for up-coming games...

Ye, they looked like two really good teams to me too.

I don't think they looked any better than the two teams in Salford v Doncaster other than there was less shots off target but there was less shots in general?????

Two teams that cancelled each other out. Felt like a re run of our game Tuesday.

Bradford v Chesterfield could be same.
Bradford v us could be same.

Walsall v anyone could be same

The next two games are massive for us now.

[les@donr]

How many chances do we need to be offered to get into the autos, and we fluff our lines. Tomorrow is a must win game. Games are running out as our opportunity for automatic promotion.

It’s all about attempting to justify a throw away comment about ‘experience being overrated’ Pancho by a poster who will never ‘quantify’ such a ridiculous statement because…….well basically they don’t have wherewithal to do so.

Anyway, let’s forget about ‘know all’s who know nowt’, reight looking for’ard t’tommers game.

C’MON ROVERS!!

[dknward2]

The Bradford city twitter is funny their fans think they have bottled it and will end up in the playoffs hopefully we will be the ones to help them with that

About as funny as here then most of the Time, usual suspects TS AS and others

[Pancho Regan]

Many Bradford fans are really down tonight, lots of them think they have blown the top 3.

Keep the faith guys, our opponents are wobbling.

[les@donr]

We wobbled against Walsall and Salford.

[Pancho Regan]

We wobbled against Walsall and Salford.

Are you up for the run-in or what?!

[Bills view]

Both teams were/are decent. Neither will be easy games for us.

I suspect they and their fans will say the same about us: tough opposition.

[les@donr]

I am, but is our team?

[Pancho Regan]

We’re all a team now les@donr, let’s work together and push our lads across that line.

It wasn’t a throw away statement.

Your views are decades out of date. I’ll say it again and maybe turn your hearing aid on this time. Experience is valuable, but over rated and over valued.

Go out and research these things like I have. Broaden your thinking. Broaden your understanding. Challenge the way you look at things. Must be a little boring seeing things in black and white still.

You ask the leading football brains, Monchi, Michael Edwards, the RB Group men, Tony Bloom, Marcel Brands. I literally spend my life listening and reading about these sort of people to find out how they think about sport in general and  they all agree. Experience is over valued.

I’ll side with them over a couple of geriatrics on a football forum.

We’re not fluffing our lines anymore than anyone else are we?
In fact we’re in better form than everyone else. So this comment makes zero sense

[Alan Southstand]

How the games v Bradford and Notts County go are heavily dependant on how our results go over the next 2 bank holiday games. We simply have to turn the screw now and put the pressure on the others. If we don’t take this chance, then I fear it’s the play-off’s and will we have enough in the tank to go again?

All our games left are difficult - Tranmere because they’re one of the current form sides, similarly with Colchester, then finally the 2 teams drawing tonight.

Fingers crossed for Jay and Joe for tomorrow, as we need Bailey back where he belongs in midfield. Billy Sharp will be back for the Bradford game, of course.

[Pancho Regan]

Just watched the Skylights of the game tonight.

Amazing goal by that geriatric McGoldrick!

Do you enjoy watching Rovers? I mean not only watching them but ‘investing’ in them time wise, financially but most importantly of all, emotionally?

Because for all your ‘swapping gibes’ with those who query what you get out of ‘supporting’ Rovers (well done for the monies donated to the academy last season by the way after your ill timed judgement ‘that season’ on Joe Ironside’s scoring capabilities) you come across as a ‘reight miserable bugger’.

As for my ‘views being decades out of date’ then quoting ‘the works’ of Michael Edward’s, Tony Bloom, Marcel Blands as the ‘way forward’….do me a favour. They follow on the footsteps of Michel Platini, Johan Cruyff, Vico Passanno et al.

1.I watch Rovers because I was born in Donny. Not Barcelona, or Milan, not Liverpool or thank gawd Leeds. So that makes them ‘my team’, through thick & thin.

2. Although I left Doncaster at the age of seventeen to go & work in London (travelling into the City daily from Kent by train) I never lost the fact that, even as my peers who chose not to move away from the town for whatever reasons (sometimes the status quo is hard to engage from?) chose not to, Rovers were my ‘touch stone’ to a previous life & family so that was a massive pull for me.

3. I’ve shared so many great moments with my team. A Golden Goal victory at Stoke’s Brittania Stadium to see us back playing League football after six years in ‘the wilderness’ of Conference League Football. The Johnstones Paint Trophy win at the Millennium Stadium. A League One play off victory against Leeds at Wembley.

Like to share any experiences that have got your head out of your spreadsheet's & your ‘body being transported to another place’ in your years following the Rovers?

No? Neh mind eh.

P.S. if you’re truly following the Mantra’s of a 58 year old ex  Italian goalkeeper & what is fundamentally a ‘risk management’ company which you “literally spend my life listening & reading about”, I feel sorry for your wife & kids (if you have any) your family & friends but mostly & quite sincerely…you. Get a life.

Wow. More air quotes than Dr Evil. The more I read on here the more your starting to look like a sad troll.

[DRFCSouth]

That was a good advert for league 2. Top quality goals, great passing and played with intensity.

Do I enjoy watching Donny? I’ve been to 40+ games this season and probably averaged 30+ games per season over the last 28 years.

Every other word spoken in my house is “Rovers”. Two kids that are season ticket holders and one that’s too young at the minute although at 1yo when you say “where’s Donny” he runs and points to the nearest Donny badge he can find! Literally just been woken up by the middle one singing Rovers songs FFS. My family have been going regularly since 1947. I could tell you plenty about Hardwick, Bycroft and Miller et al from the 50s, not seen their names in any spreadsheets.

I’ve been at all the “big” games since 1997 home and away (bar Chester away!) and had the same ups and downs as everyone.

Don’t question me as a fan just because I can both enjoy game in the same way any other fan would and also apply an analytical lens when I want too.

 

[Padge_DRFC]

I looked at Bradford and thought winnable. I only watched the second half mind.Notts have the better technical players by a mile.

Re experience above. Our most experienced player looks the biggest liability on the pitch for conceding goals. He's bouncing off players too. Then our other experienced player came on and headbutted someone. Same player who we needed on Tuesday to replace Street who's gonna be run into the ground by Monday.

Give me McGrath and Oluwu over experienced Wood and Anderson any day.

Anderson has played okay mind probably a bit unfair dragging him in.
