Walker at fault there. Lost the ball in a dangerous area. Just get the bloody thing forward instead of pissing around with it!!

Great effort by Walker, tipped over by their keeper.

Similar to Saturday Walker was given the ball by Davies in a difficult position and pressed quickly.

Hawkes and Walker off for Lewis and chalmers.

Big questions to be asked if we lose this. Are any of us really surprised we’re losing against an out of form side?

Think it's time for a change of manager though I doubt it happen till the summer, our record is shocking, 3 wins in 18 games is frankly woefull

Once again hawkes who hasn’t been great is hauled off when we need a goal. He’s our second top scorer for gods sake. Why not swap him and Saunders for 5 minutes for something different. Josh can finish

Couple of poor choices when it was 0-0 Hendry being set up by Walker on the edge of the box passing back rather than having a shot and Hemmings choosing to pass to the Bristow running on rather than Saunders in the box. Poor defending for the second goal couldn’t make out the first clearly.

Some composed interplay between Hendry,Chalmers and Bristow there.

Chalmers has impressed but we’re so toothless at times

Chalmers looks good. Despite Hawkes' goals I think Chalmers might prove to be more productive in the long term.....in terms of assists and ball retention.

That is not good enough, to fail to score and lose to such a poor team is embarrassing.

I thought we were the better side and controlled the game but paid for individual errors at the back again.

For the first goal Walker should be tighter to the Doncaster player, but the unlucky deflection gives Hewelt no chance. The second goal is an individual error by Davies. Crazy really, as Doncaster offered nothing other than that brief flurry.

We have to defend those moments better, but we also have to score after sixty minutes of domination to avoid the sucker punch.

The positive for me is the way Hendry and Walker controlled midfield, something we have failed to do all season, with the former in particular an excellent player. The service to the strikers is not there at the moment but should improve when they develop an understanding.

We have played far worse than that and won this season. That is football.

61% possession.
Poor return.
On a positive note Hendry, Chalmers and Morris looked a cut above.
Our full backs play well, but the delivery into the box is not the most thoughtful. Could do with getting their heads up a bit more.

For all our possession we didn't create that many clear cut chances, Saunders for all his effort doesn't look like scoring, Hemmings is out of form.
442 is not getting results, should try 4 2 3 1 or 4 5 1 with Chalmers getting a go.
