I guess messing around with the team didn't work like it did for Spurs.

If we had bothered turning up for this game then we'd have only been 4 points off the playoffs. This season has been the biggest disappointment in memory as it offered so much.

It's beyond me why he feels he has to tinker so much. Didn't do it so much early season. Probably the reason we weren't shit then.

Oh bloody hell!

Just said on SSN that this is Doncaster's first clean sheet in 17 matches.

We really have become quite impotent haven't we.

It is always best to help motivate players who grind out wins by dropping them.

He explained it in one article in the CT. He picks the team to counter the opposition's strengths. In other words, instead of imposing our strengths on the opposition, he allows them to impose their strengths on us.

He liked to mix it up. One went forward, the other sideways. Still improvement on what others managed though

Didn't even rest their keeper

How they've taken 4 points from us this season is both criminal but also all our own doing!

Really annoying, because a win today would have given us some chance, looking at the other results and next week we would have had a good crowd against Sheff Utd.

Now it's all just a damp squib.

You know fully well that some posters on here will shout you down for taking that stance with your last sentence.
I think I can nail it with the best description of this season - 'It's been a disappointing improvement'.

Just goes to show what a fantastic position we were in, when you consider the scale of
our collapse and to only be 4 points away. Gutted

We don't really have to look for any magic ingredient all we want is some players that actually give a damn and have a bit of fight in them

They must have been dropped this week then, they looked to care the last couple of games and had fight.

And rightfully so, we've had far more disappointing seasons in recent memory.

Questions need to be answered once the dust has settled.

We were a real attacking threat earlier in the campaign and now we are really struggling to score at all and it's been an age since Adam Armstrong last found the back of the net.

14 games since his last goal.

Just caught him berating Jones while on the phone to Juggy. Clearly he's done something to upset him!

Season over.

Thanks TM and the players for not fighting for the fans.

We should be in the play offs at least this season and it's all their own doing that we aren't.

And next season they will have a chance to put it right!

Well everyone apart from Murphy and Armstrong and Cole and Stephens and Hunt and Maddison and Fleck.

Mowbray says;

Not many thoughts. Have to say nt a lot to talk about

As disappointing I've been with the team all season for a first half

Distinct lack of fight in the first half

Think it's the team we've got, where is the team V Gillingham and Millwall - 4-0

My own mistake putting faith in young players at top of the pitch

Thought could break away and counter but didn't pan out

Disappointed with them today

Not making any excuses for them today. Didn't show enough fight

Disappointing for supporters who came

Haven't been disappointed often despite dips but today is different

Try to defend set play goals we concede every week. Can't this week

Do alt of work defending set plays

Talking today out of frustration

Today I couldn't see the identity

Not much improvement after subs

Vlad is a good footballer

Cont'd

Vlad needs to be judged next season

Easy to say more physical players needed

Given reasons why young players chosen

Can't defend and let 2 headed goals go in

In my mind play offs were over some time ago (well there's positivity for you!!)

Never realistic despite mathematically possible

No Joe Cole as wasn't a day for him

Joe Coles not really an issue today (odd?)

The result doesn't really matter. Even if we had won, we would never have made the playoffs.
