League Two Doncaster v Tranmere

[bigmart]

glad to see the changes although I would have gone 1 step further and played chalmers before hawkes/morris saying that MM has been quite radical for him

Hawkes offers a goal threat which we still mainly lack and Morris links very well with Cogley and is vital to how we play

 

[Sparky]

Like on Boxing Day Donny very keen on playing out from the back

 

[Outoftowner]

RLCs predicted central midfield into action a little earlier than expected. Will be interesting to see how it pans out. Disagree with bigmart as I thought Merrie had a decent game v Orient, however it’s looking clear that he won’t be around next season so perhaps no surprise he’s missing tonight.

I too thought Merrie had a decent game against Orient in fact he was the commentators man of the match. Between O’Connor & Merrie my vote goes to Merrie !.

 

[Sparky]

Bristow hits the post. Hendry has already had more shots from midfield than merrie and OConnor have combined this season!
We’re doing ok. Comfortable at the back and the better side. Need a goal though

 

[bigmart]

Doncaster are woefull and there for the beating, will be hugely disappointing if we don't win this game but we have gone off the boil the last 15 minutes

 

[Sparky]

0-0 half time. We’ve been the better side overall but neither side looks like scoring.

You can see why Donny have lost 4 from 6, they are bang average and very much there for the taking. Although they may not be as bad in the second half.

 

[Sparky]

Strikers Agard and Lavery on their bench which could make a difference second half

 

[bigmart]

I would give it 10 or 15 minutes and if not ahead put Burton on for Saunders and Calmers for Hawkes

 

[Ian]

We have to beat these as bigmart says above. We have much more quality in midfield now and have controlled the game. Need more from the front two.

 

[Higgy 2]

Decent first half without a real threat on goal. Morris and Hendry stand out. Not sure how match fit Walker is, but he certainly looks composed.
Donny are a poor side - and not much in terms of options on the bench apparently. Should beat them comfortably.
Hemmings and Saunders looking like a partnership in thr making.

 

[Boz]

Doncaster have been more direct than I expected from reports of the home game, but so far haven’t tested Hewelt. Rovers have had the better of the first half, Hawkes bringing a decent save out of their keeper from long range. Hendry looks good but did pick up a fairly harsh booking

 

[Ian]

This ref forgot to put his contacts in. Great work by Saunders on the left.

 

[Sparky]

Saunders does well to set up Hemmings whose shot on his weaker foot is saved. The home side then come back at us and a decent walker block keeps it 0-0

 

[Ian]

They havent scored, surely not

 

[bigmart]

This is a disgrace, they are so bad and now lead

 

[Ian]

2-0. Joke.

 

[Ian]

Deflection first goal, just unlucky there. Not seen the 2nd yet..

 

[bigmart]

This is absolutely pathetic, we can forget the play offs it's not happening in a million years this is shocking

 

[Higgy 2]

Bugger!
Do t think Walker covered. Himself in glory for both goals. Possibly down to fitness....lack of.

 

[Ian]

Not won since new years day.. rovers wont let you down!
