Fabien Robert

Typical shop-window. He's on the books of a good team but doesn't get many first-team outings. This means that either he's not good enough for L'Orient (or put it another way, they have someone better) or there are personality/discipline issues. In a way, I hope it's the latter because, like Diouf, the player only has to control himself better, or simply fit in and he looks good in the shop-window.

If ability is in question, ask whether a player not performing in French league 1 can hold his own in the English Championship? I think the leagues are similar in standard.

Let's hope he can though.

Great to have another positive post Fuzzy, we could sign Messi. Ronaldo, Rooney and all and some people would still not be satisfied.

We will either, stay in the Championship, which will be great, or, as seems more likely now, we will not, and then all those who were on your wavelength can say, "told you so".

Doncaster Rovers CAN survive but it needs everyone whether in person at games or on these boards to get behind, JR, WM, DS and the team.

We are in the most crucial time as a club since reaching the Championship and yet on here, but more especially on vsc there seems to be nothing but negativity.

Let's hope we start with a win tonight at Hull and back that up on Saturday against Reading. Two hard tasks I know, but at this time every game is going to be a hard task.

I got a really good feeling about tonight.
2 or 3 nil!

Anyhow, onwards and upwards.

C'mon Donny!

Gonna have to sell Billy in my FM2012 game as well now

Try to get more than we did xondrfc, unfortunately, due to a bad contract we were shafted agian.

Same old story. Apply logical arguments about the current policy and you're being negative and not getting behind the chairman or the team. Sorry - I don't buy that.

A forum is used to discuss. If everyone is positive despite what their feelings and logic says, the club gets an incorrect and unrealistic impression that it's doing right by everyone.

Ryan should read my posts because they are always honest and I am never positive or negative just for the sake of it. If he wants to call me a whinger or a moaner sobeit. What he should appreciate is come 7:45, I'm right behind the team as ever but ask me to be positive about things I don't think will work - Sorry, I can't do that.

Well i'm staying positive, i always do.
Fifty seven points still to be played for and we only really need about 23-25 of them to stay up in my opinion.
Now that doesnt sound too bad does it?
Fuzzy- no match thread today?
Also Fuzzy - could it be that as a 20 year old, Fabien Robert is on the fringes of the team in the same way as say, Walcott was in his early days at Arsenal.
Maybe they want him to get 10-15 games under his belt in a hard fought league rather than in the reserves.
Xondrfc, mate, cut the predictions, itmakes me nervous.
RTID and beyond.

Maybe I read your post wrongly Fuzzy, I sincerely hope we can all get behind the team until what looks like the inevitable does happen.

Some could also read into this that I am being negative for mentioning the possibility of failure. We all see what we want to see and hear what we want to hear.

Drfchound mate, I hate making predictions on Donny and also betting on them and never normally do!
But I've just got this crazy feeling...

a spread bet might be a good idea!
