It's been a very strange game. Doncaster happy to let us pass about in midfield. None of their players moving off the ball in attacking positions. Even their crowd seem asleep. Strangest top of the table side I've seen.

This is the frustration. We are better than most the teams above us.

We have been excellent.

Think Barton and Fleck have been controlling the midfield, but do have to say Donny have afforded the pair far too much space and not closed them down in their half of the field.

Quite strange, cos at times they are trying to close us down and harry when we have the ball in our own half but then standing off a bit when we cross the half way line


Am concerned though of an England Montenegro situation here. Donny will surely up the pressure and try and close us down more.

We need to be ready for a change of Doncaster tactics this second half.

Possible complacency on their bit?

Bartons loving this game. And how good is Fleck looking! Some great passing being done by them

I wonder how much homework Pressley might have done to figure that these two may have been suited to this game / formation

yes, the BBC had us in 15th on their website yesterday 12 points off relegation so win today and we're pretty much safe.

maybe the bbc have left them off pending the 7 days we have to appeal (and maybe also the appeal period). if we do appeal (which I think would be a terrible idea) we could have the spectacle of us being the play-offs come end season only for the 25 pt deduction to knock us off our fecking perch

Bit harsh. Didnt do much wrong. Isolated on his own upfront to have been able to have much impact.

Ran around and chased alot

Why? I'd bring Bell on before him as well. He is a much better player.

Doncaster have missed 3-4 gilt edge chances this half. Apart from Christies cross-shot and a corner we've create nothing this half.

We have been very poor in the second half. Fortunate in the end.

Fortunate not to concede in the 2nd half but a great result at home against the best away side in the division! Also done the double over them.

Lets just hope that our appeal against the points deduction is successful. We would be three points off the play offs.

Yeah, so glad we went into admin and got rid of sisu, we'd have had no chance in the play offs, we've just been thrashed by top of table at home. Oh wait!!!

We rode our luck second half. Few good chances squandered by Donny who looked the better team second half. Changed they play to better ours second half. But for some bad finishing, official decisions in our favour, and some good defensive work we got a result.

Are they still counting the attendance on their fingers and toes?

This is mental I know. If we are on fifty points and from 'sheff utd' all the way down to 'crew' in the table don't win any of their last 5 matches and we win all ours, with a better goal difference 6th place is ours. Now where did i put god's phone number !
