Doncaster Rovers v Leicester City

Jeez, you've taken it all the wrong way . It was supposed to be in jest.

I thought I had become accustomed to your northern humour having spent 6 months working in Donny last year.

Thanks for that downsouf, ionly tends to be a bit touchy with us ( with everyone),, don't get upset. I did notice something on another forum about your supporters and racist shouting.

It's good to know that the Leicester supporters policed this themselves and as I understood from the comments, he got a good doing over.

Well done to all the Foxes fans for that.

Derubbishee, sorry to here your story, hope you are well now good thing this faith ain't it?

I wish I could have attended the match. I haven't been back to Donny since last year. That Leopard pub had only just re-opened when I left so some 'quiet' hours were spent in the Corner Pin instead.

They wanted to charge £9.60 to park in the Frenchgate so I used to park in Hexthorpe and walk in. I sort of miss it there.

NY. Thanks for your sentiment. Now and then I feel if only it hadn't happened but most of the time I regard it as a life shaper. Things so big and nasty shape the person that you are. Many others have trials an tribulations just as bad or even worse. I was lucky, Stay positive keep focused and all will be well,

downsouf....My apologies.... My humour is distorted and as Yankee says, I do have problems.... I do not even like myself sometimes. But compared to others on this site I have no problems.

I suppose if Donny played in Black and White these days I would be happy. But then again maybe not

Ionlywish. No need to apologise. Best wishes to you. When I read through the input on some other boards it's like there's a civil war going on.

Having now found time to watch the match, it was a rather more impressive performance than I expected.

It is all very well for these top half teams saying that they were not at their best when they play us, but performances are conditioned by how well you are allowed to play and on this basis, Leicester join Forest, Blackburn and Wigan in being stifled into supposed or imagined moderation.

Leicester had a great deal of possession in the second half, but they were not as incisive as Rovers were with the ball in either half. It was slow often sideways and backwards for them and we seemed to keep them away from the danger areas possibly not at will, but reasonably comfortably. It was certainly not a just-about-hanging-on-for-the-win situation with a succession of last ditch clearances.

Everybody worked hard and hasn't Brown improved this season? Instead of giving away fouls with challenges, with improved balance he gets himself between defender and the ball and earns far more free kicks than he gives away.

Duffy has the makings of a really good provider which he would have been with better decision-making, but he needs match practice. In fact there were several in the team who have not had the chance to work with each other and their understanding will improve with time. Copps still misses O’Connor!

And credit to the ref who kept the match flowing.

Robinson did not lack effort, but the role he adopted or was given did not seem to get the best out of him.

Despite the fact that some faces are missing in this line-up, it could be the best combination yet with much potential.

I'll second you on that about Fuzzy Nookie. I know those times when I have tried to cobble something together when Fuzzy has said he couldn't do one, it was hard work.

I do not have the statistical ability nor the computwer ability to match him, I am more of a words man. It must take up a considerable amount of time. Once again Thanks Fuzzy.

I even invent my own, Computwer, Argh!!!
