Doncaster Rovers v Brighton

NY:
On TV - there is such a waiting list for season tickets, and they started selling single game tickets at 5:00PM the other day, and people were lining up the previous day and staying overnight. You'd think it was the latest i-Pad or something! How I wish the Rovers had that following!

Same thing with the Brewers, ( baseball), they started selling single game tickets last Sturday and people were camped in tents for three days to be first in line. We had snow and low temps last week as well. The call it the Arctic tailgate.

NY:
My shop lease runs out on 30 June, and if I do not find a buyer, we are going to close our wine shop. Time to retire. Then I'll have more time to follow the Timbers (hopefully get a season ticket) and the Rovers.
Look forward, or regret, my more activity on J 606!

My opinion

We didn't deserve to lose, Brighton were poor, their goal was shambolic really and although Diouf likes a dive every now and then he's a beginner compared to their players. Lad behind me made me smile at half time saying " its like watching Platoon on the movies channel"

Bagayoko had a brilliant game, Spurr and Gillett were good, Chimbonda put more effort in. Apart from Gillett the subs were ineffectual and Diouf scares the hell out of me with his penalties - any more laid back and he'd be horizontal (like Mackail-Smith for most of the game) Having said that it fooled their keeper as he didn't move a muscle

Not the best performance but a little more fight and if we played like that against our relegation rivals we'd stand a chance of getting out of this mess

Well we have the chance to do just that on tuesday night.

My comment "not good enough" was simply a statement of fact rather than performance.

The last 3 matches we have played should have yielded 3 points.

Leeds were poor - we lost; Brighton were poor - we drew; against Posh it should have been all 3 points but we couldn't close down.

At the moment, not getting 3 points against teams who haven't played well against us isn't good enough, end of story.

For me the highlight yesterday was the half time penalty contest. The rest was a display of frantic headless chicken football. Having said that, Bagayoko was immense and should have been MoM by miles - all of which he ran. My only regret was that after his mazy run up the left touchline he elected to pass the ball to where Hayter should have been instead of shooting himself. A mistake I am sure he won't repeat. Diouf is hugely talented and if he applies himself he may just keep us in this league. You do get the naggging feeling however that he is missing his vocation partnering Tom Daley.

Albi, i agree with your assessmentnof Bagayoko.
He is improving by the game, probably due to him getting match fit.
I wasnt impressed after his first two outings but against Peterbro and again yesterday he was very good.
He reminded me yesterday of Fortune.

Ah, Hound! Fortune! Every time I see WBA on TV I watch out for Marc-Antoine. He doesn't score many but he makes loads. It was a privilege to watch him at the KM.

Yes, it is a shame he was recalled because he was really strting to show his class.
