A chance for you to do the double over us on Tuesday. Shouldn't happen but I did not envisage a 3-1 win for your boys at Ewood.
We are still a few points shy of automatic promotion and have not lost for ages. You guys are mid table safety. I would expect BRFC to win but will not be putting any money on it.
Good luck next season.

3.1 victory to the might Ziggers. Even though I believe they'll be a few changes. Personally I'd like some fringe players to gave a run out, show what they can do, maybe like Bury prove they are good enough. Going for a crowd of 8007. Put first scorer down when I find out team. Plus only just finished work and it's a mad rush to the KM.

No Copps, no Rowe! I'm not sure about this mid-field. Feel it is going to be a draw, but ever the optimist will say 2-1 with Whiteman scoring. Crowd 7777

I'll go May first goal, looking at crowd, very poor at minute. Then again, 5 home games in a couple of weeks and sweet FA done by the club for the supporters.

A comedy of errors except that it wasn't funny. The only good thing to come out of my visit to the Keepmoat today was that I found that if I walk like a duck I can reduce the pain from my damaged right ankle tendon. Result.

This is shaping up to be the third season in succession when the team has let the fans down in the closing games of the season.

There is no rationale to it. It has been preceded in all three possible contexts; trying to stave off relegation, trying to win the title and now trying to finish as high as possible. Unacceptable. Who could blame fans for boycotting the rest of the games?

Don Im with you

I think that today’s performance by some players has shown us how far we are away from being a squad that can threaten the top six next season.
With Rowe out for the remaining games we have no recognised first team player who is left sided.
We are no further forward now, three years after DF came in.
Without Coppinger and Rowe we have very little creativity.

The ref today was intimidated by the Oxford players and was totally out of his depth.
The push on Houghton was as clear a pen as you could ever want to see.

In our absence. How did the lineup actually set up on the field please .
Thanks

I was so angry yesterday that I thought it best not to comment on the players. I understand that Copps had to be rested and Rowe needed surgery so the manager needed to rotate. He brought in Alcock on the right of the back four. May came in to partner Marquis at the front. In the middle he selected Kongolo and McCullogh to join Whiteman and Blair. You couldn't fault the goalkeeper, the defence or the attack but the midfield four were poor. McCullogh played deep, Whiteman higher up with Blair and Kongolo wider. Kongolo looked like a real prospect when he arrived but, possibly through a lack of game time, he now looks very ordinary. Blair at the back looks good but when pushed into midfield he becomes anonymous. McCullough looks to have all the gifts but I lost count of the misplaced passes. He also had multiple chances to shoot but did so only once. Every other time he passed into a crowd and every time we lost the ball. Whiteman was little better and at least once while in space passed the ball neatly into touch. Marquis and May deserved so much more.

Thanks albi.
I looked at n wondered if he was going to put Whiteman behind the front 1 and a half or sit luke in front of back 4 with kongolo and blair either side.
Didn't quite get it but he did manage to play mason in his poorest position again.

The tinkerman is alive and well and working in Doncaster.

posted on 22/4/18

I take the Tinkerman point but once we are mathematically safe I would like to have a look at Ben Khemis, assuming he isn't crocked. Beestin is good but we clearly need another player with some creativity for when Copps packs it in.

posted on 23/4/18

I agree albie.
Khemis (is he injured) should start on Tuesday to give the side some balance.

posted on 23/4/18

He looked fine when he warmed up for the bench at Gillingham when I first suggested giving him a chance. DF was keen to get him fit, but then he played well, got injured again and is out of favour, whereas some seem to play whatever their form or effort. Does DF have his favourites? Bringing a young French-speaking Tunisian into a club, him doing well and then getting injured and not giving him another chance seems unfair and will make him feel justifiably isolated.

What about the budding left back the position we are vulnerable......Garrett
