Wow what game! We were great going forward and great tactics from fergie! Fans were fantastic best atmosphere in our end for a long time shame the keepmoat isn't like it! Let's have a boxing day footballing massacre at the KM!
Should of won. Could of lost, it was that type of game. Duffy you little Copps wannabe 😈 cost me a full house in the DPL. No doubt if they don't lose any players in January they'll be promoted as they have been the best footballing side I've seen for a long time. Pity they've got a nasty streak in the way they foul, should of had 2 red cards today. The foul on butler, he did give us a pen but the player should of walked. As for the disgusting tackle on Williams the player wasn't even a bookeg. Liked the way Fergie changed the game with his substitutions, Keegans free kick was unsavable. Thought we battered them after that but, I'd of taken a draw before hand as they did show today why they're top of the league.
But we matched the all the way
I should think that it's rare to get an honest summary of a performance with suitable criticism of his own team from the manager, but that was what we heard from DF. Clearly Burton are better than Coventry and a real test.
That we survived on a below-par display augurs well. We just have to hope that we don't slip up again against a good side. Southend will be a test in that respect.
Things are getting better, the future looks far better than in September.
Shame we didn't appoint the new manager at the end of last season.
Who knows where we could have been?.
Have a great Christmas.
What a breath of fresh air DF's post game interview was. As Donaldo said, it is rare to get such an analysis by a manager in public. Long may it continue!
I've just watched the highlights and it was an exciting game with both teams playing attacking football. I thought the Rovers were very good at times, but the obvious problems are:
1. bad errors - e.g. Andy's penalty miss and misplaced pass (but his goal was superb),
2. long through balls missed by all and going to an opponent on his own - thank god for the BFG!
However, I come away encouraged that if we keep playing like that we should be in the mix at the end of the season - and entertaining the crowds in the meantime.
I also like Keegs interview - what a nice guy he is. It is almost sad he has to fight for a starting role.
Bring on the Iron!
6 for but 5 against in two games tells DF what he needs to work on. Either how the back 3 work with the two wing backs or who he has in these positions
We STILL need a proper centre back.
Not full back who can play there
