Let's talk about the Barnsley game

[Pancho Regan]

I would put Hanlon on the right and Gibson down the middle with haks on the left

Gibson down the middle?!
Are you serious?!

[Rupee92ONLY]

—————-—TLT

Sterry/Byrne/Pearson/Senior

————Bailey/Gotts
——————Clifton

———Haks————Lee

——————Hanlan

Something like that for me. Adelakun and Lee more centrally where they can get closer to Hanlan and the threatening areas. Sterry is great at getting forward and senior has been growing that part imo to offer us the width. Clifton poor Tuesday for me but this is exactly his sort of game.

Obviously Hanlan could end up not making it, if so then not a scooby. We can win with that team.

[Stewmaiden79]

Is it confirmed Mols won’t play, or is it still unknown?

[Herbert Anchovy]

These are the games I miss going to. Local derby, good following from the Rovers, a few beers before & after. I reckon it’ll be a close one today, probably a draw. Hope everyone going has a good day.

[NickDRFC]

They’re in decent home form and we had a bit of a slog midweek, I’d be happy with a point today.

[Barmby Rover]

2 wins 3 draws from their last 6 games, Rovers 2 wins 2 draws in the last 6. Fairly even, but I still fancy a win here.

I read somewhere that they’ve only lost 1 of their last 9 or 10 at home. Not an easy place to go and win.

yes I am , he has pace and scored alot of goals at Carlisle,Hanlon outside is better and more effective and would play some good balls across the box for people to run onto ,Hanlon does not hold the ball up top for the midfield to get onto his strength is playing it to his feet and taking on the fullbacks

One thing's for sure it's nothing to do with intimidating atmosphere. It's like a graveyard there. Mind out for the tennis balls

[Barmby Rover]

Is the game on FM with Dee Dah? At least I can listen to it then.

[DINGLE]

We’re so hard to predict, we’ve got some very good players, but our head coach is useless, if you turn up wanting it you’ll get it, if you come to defend we’ll beat ya.

Hope you have a good day in the town centre, it’s a really good drink, not many places better .

[EpsTheMightyReds]

Think we’re in the wrong spoons, it’s full of Barnsley fans

Is any spoons ever the right spoons?

[rover-n-out]

Anybody know which sky sports plus channel the game is on please?

None

[drfchound]

In the first half Goodman, the Barnsley keeper, went down to get a tactical break to allow Barnsley to change their set up after we had been on top.
The football authorities have to do something to stop this happening.
Goodman by the way did the same thing at the Eco when he played with Wimbledon.

[PDX_Rover]

Get in there. Bang bang dingle dingle bang bang our fine three fingered friends.

[jmt23]

Well done DRFC, we were the better team on the whole. I though Senior was MOTM ( fast becoming player of the season for me ) Well done Gibson, he’s had a tough season, and been average to poor, but today stood strong, played really well. Middleton… I’m not sure he will be here next year, so much promise but looks lost at this level.
Get in!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Big bonus win that. Maybe not much in it but the Barnsley summeriser on RS, said we deserved it for being better organised and knowing our jobs. A refreshing change and the Pearson, Byrne partnership continues to be thrifty.

Can't celebrate for too long as we need to follow this up v Port Vale and see if we we can get nearer the top half.

[Filo]

I wonder what someone in the crowd said to Sterry

[les@donr]

Win on Tuesday and we’re almost there, the only team who could realistically catch us is Blackpool and can’t see that happening.

[mrfrost82]

I wonder what someone in the crowd said to Sterry

We thought someone had thrown something at him. Could be wrong though.

[Bristol Red Rover]

TLT pushed his timewasting way beyond reasonable after getting booked for it. Very lucky not to get a second yellow. It looked like one of our staff, Richardson? had a word with him on the pitch after the final whistle. Deffo needs to rein it in.

Can’t recall a keeper ever getting two yellows for time wasting. Can anyone else?

Gibson - All I can think is that I was watching a different game to you. He lost the ball so much and hardly made any tackles.
I can’t believe he was left on the pitch so long.

Awful take, you definitely went to a different game. He wasn't exceptional by any means but he definitely put a shift in but did tire towards the end.

Absolutely, he played quite well at times I thought and was absolutely knackered at the end and noticeably.  He put a big shift in today, can't criticise that at all.

[scawsby steve]

Gibson was very good today. Contributed a lot to the win.

[Goole Rover]

Spot on Scawsby he looked a different player, he worked hard. Someone has probably had a whisper in his ear. Great performance from the lad.

TLT should have been sent off, though i dont think it would have affected the result. When he moved the ball from one side to the other after already been booked, im literally screaming ffs kick it. Senior gave him a bollocking after it.

Cracking result though, to keep 2 clean sheets against 2 of the highest scoring teams in the division this week is impressive.

Pearson and Byrne look really good together.
