I would look to sell Chaplin & Baka

Chaplin is on a 4 year contract ffs who in their right mind thought that was a great idea ? Actually who even watched the lad play ?

Yep - this playing the strongest team hasn't made the slightest difference IMO. At least some of the U23's might've put in a bit more effort. Been a non-event second half.

It was the keeper who was injured. He had to be taken off in the end.

We are one nil down against a strong team with something to play for - how would playing some young kids with zero experience possibly end up with a better outcome?

The keeper signalled that he was injured, he tried to throw the ball out so he could get treatment (and he had to be substituted and helped off the pitch after).

As soon as he went off, I would rather have brought Wakefield on and played with proper wingers and tried to get the creativity from him and Thomas, stretching Doncaster across the pitch. That said, I can still see a random 88th minute equaliser out of nowhere.

Team will look very different next year. Just hope that the incoming players improve us from where we are.

Wonder how we'll line up now Ponti on for Shipley. Hope he gets the CF position - Chaplin has done bugger all. Not even sure I've heard him mentioned.

Not saying it would - just saying it'd be far more worthwhile to us to have got some experience for those who will be here next season looking to step up than have a group who likely won't be playing like they're already on the beach.

This is all a bit embarrassing. Just as boring as the Shrewsbury game.

No intent in the slightest.

Bournemouth just played a 17 year old keeper against Tottenham, he played a blinder, kept a clean sheet and was voted man of the match.

The problem is that the ball has to go dead before a player can receive treatment. Outdated and potentially damaging to injured players. Let trainers come on at any point. Admittedly it's a bit different if it's the keeper ...

Should be playing strongest team every time. High stakes or not. This “nothing to play for” is complete bollocks and is a loser’s attitude. Youngsters will have plenty of look-ins in pre-season - which is kind of what it’s for!

Thomas has a shot but blocked

Hiwula crosses to Chaplin, way over his head.

I agree also it would of been wrong to other teams around Doncaster if we'd have played the youth

But is nothing like a matchday atmosphere etc. Some step up to it, others don't and you won't know unless you try them.

Camwell came in for the last game of the season a couple of years ago and did well but then never progressed. One game at the end of the season tells you nothing.
