Scuffed shot, someone's arse, off the post and a trickle over the line for 1-0 in the 94th minute
Won three league games in a row all 3-0? I predict this will happen on Saturday against Bradford, I’ve got records for past 12 years and we haven’t in that time. I’m sure we did it sometime in the early 2000s

I predict this will happen on Saturday against Bradford, I’ve got records for past 12 years and we haven’t in that time. I’m sure we did it sometime in the early 2000sClosest I’ve found was Jan 2017 where Rovers won 3-1 in 3 consecutive games, and the 4th game v Yeovil ended 3-0 to Rovers. So scored 3 goals 4 matches on the bounce.
All I’ve thought about is that Bradford will come and beat us, and it will go down to last day. Think I’m just scarred from the recent failings in front of big crowds or big away followings!

Think I’m just scarred from the recent failings in front of big crowds or big away followings!I had a look at this in a bit more detail, since moving to the Keepmoat/Eco Power at the start of 2007 we have had exactly 100 games with attendances of over 10000. In those games are record is, Played 100Won 31Drawn 23Lost 46 Those figures in themselves are not that bad but when you look at the record for the latest 29 games from 2014 to today,Played 29Won 7Drawn 3Lost 19So we do seem to have a thing with big crowds, big expectations!If ever a time was right to even up the score its got to be tomorrow!

Yet there are still people on here saying we should have given them the full 3000 just to make a few bob.They only gave us 1500 tickets at their huge ground, and now they're whining about our "breeze block stadium", and our "petty club".B*ll*cks to the lot of them.
Famously in 1982 we had a run of games at Belle Vue which ended 6-3, 6-1, 7-5 might not be the correct order but it certainly whetted the appetite of John Helm the Calebdar news sports anchor as he said “the place to be for goals is Belle Vue, Doncaster”. The camera crews came down and obviously the game finished goalless.
