PS. Until I get my internet sorted at home I can't do the results.

Suddenly its a minor crisis and knives out for DM. It's only a blip. We've shown we can play so every good stuff this season. Just hope confidence hasn't ebbed away. Tricky game to predict. I'm thinking a draw as we still don't have effective and consistent goal scorers. So it's 1-1 with Sadlier or Taylor to score.

Donald, Great to have you back. I really was worried something had happened to you other than loss of internet. Earlier this season we lost our internet service for three weeks and had to use our iPhones - even sitting outside a MacDonald's to use their WiFi signal!
Will send my prediction after seeing the team. I really like DM but was concerned about his team selections over the past two games.

2 0
Whiteman/ ennis/ 25b

2-1 Copps

Rovers 3-1 Taylor/ cops

Rovers 2-0 Whiteman

Rovers 3-1 MK

Small Azza
Rovers 3-0 MK
Copps

Taylor and Lawlor not even on the bench - injured? Would have preferred Wright to Daniels, but will go with Rovers 3 MKDons 1, Whiteman to score.

The less said about that the better. The Dons passed the ball far better than us but didn't make too many chances. Dieng made one superb stop but had no chance with their goal. The faffing about at the back made an unwelcome return, but we got away with it. Halliday played really well down the right and made two glorious chances that no-one could convert. The issue today was in central midfield where both Whiteman and Sheaf had games to forget. Bad passing, caught in possession and generally listless. Despite this chances were made but fluffed until almost the end when Cameron John forced the ball over the line. Flattered by a point, but at least we got to see something of Max Watters who replaced Alfie May. .

I thought there was an improvement from the last two games - at least in attitude by most players. I agree with Art about poor games from Sheaf and Whiteman. What has happened to Whiteman's passing ability? Sheaf has always been a little variable in his accuracy. Maybe Halliday and Daniels read my criticism as both had their best games for some time - the best I've seen Daniels play. We really should have been well ahead by half time. It was a pity Watters could not connect better right at the end, and Sadlier put one over when he should have scored. Indeed there were a few crazy passes back to Dieng and playing back into trouble when they had played out of one craziness. Not good for my blood pressure!

Relegation fodder

Lawlor has aggravated a shoulder injury.
Taylor has a hamstring strain.

Flying bak 2 England. If we do predictions
So 3 1 defeat.
Ennis whiteman 26

No more wombles. A win today , thats 14 th Dec!
2-0, Sadlier,John.

1-1 whiteman

Hope Donaldo is ok.

Wombles 2-1 Rovers
Sadlier or if not playing John

Small Azza
Wombles 1-1 Rovers
Copps

Not looking forward to this to be honest, 3.1 defeat, Sadlier first goal, Ennis if he doesnt.

1-1. John

I do not like the look of the strike force with both Thomas and Bingham there - hopefully I am being too pessimistic. I was hoping Taylor was fit enough to start, but was expecting Ennis to be on the bench. I think the best we can do is 1-1 with Sadlier scoring. Now I hope I am being too pessimistic!

Doncaster.

Not filled with confidence by that team to be honest. Hope Daniels doesnt start being the old bull in a China shop again.

2-1 rovers sadler

Donaldo is Ok, but his internet and ancient phone are performing about as well as DRFC. Am sending this on another phone, so let's hope, unlike so many other attempts, it UPLOADS!

How can a team have 66% of possession, 20 shots to 7 with twice as many on target, lose? Doncaster Rovers can show you how! We certainly created chances, but it is a long time since I've seen so many easy chances fluffed. We should have been out of reach by half time.
To me our best player was Reece James who was sacrificed to bring on another striker.
Daniels probably had his best game so far but gave away another penalty. I'd not play him as he has too many brain fades in the penalty area. Wright seems to be fit, so I would have played him. Next game - Anderson and John should start.
Also once again there were too many sloppy passes - Sheaf being guilty again, but had some flashes of brilliance.

I said the other week, our next 3 games could define our season, MK, the Don's, then Accrington st home. Win those and we would be sat pretty just outside the play offs with 2/3 games in hand.
I predicted 3 points as we're playing terrible at the moment, but, it looks like 3 points could be to high a total.
With the games to come around Christmas, then towards the end of January, it's not looking good. Confidence is extremely low, Moore hasn't got a plan B and his tactics are strange to say the least.
The players hes brought in to fill the massive void left by Marquis, leaves a lot to the imagination. Hopefully Ennis can add to his goal on Saturday, but he'll probably only get 15-20mins towards the end.
I've not seen Copps shake his head and look at the floor like he has been doing this season, some of the passing is beyond schoolboy stuff, there just seems to be so much not going our way. Doesn't help that our only tactical strategy is to play it out the back when, even Stevie Wonder can see, sometimes you just need to get rid. Every team does the same thing, back off till we've taken the goal kick then push up, silly passes across our back line ensures the fans of a few heart attack moments. One of the biggest culprits is Sheaf, followed by Whiteman, who is playing about 50% at the moment. Let's hope hes not doing a Marquis, having his head turned by bigger clubs wanting him in January. Probably why the club have extended his contract so he's worth more. I'd let him go for 3 mill, the board might even give some towards us actually buying someone 😂
