Match Thread Doncaster Rovers vs Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[peteblue]

I don’t give a crap if it was Doncaster or a kids school team, we won and it makes a bleeding difference….

 

[dixiesdisciple]

McNeil and Harrison will make a big difference to that team mate, will allow Garner to be more central as well.

Not convinced about Garner at all. Every chance he gets he seems to let it pass him by. He’s got a long way to go before he starts controlling games from the middle imo. We need better in there.. agree about McNeil and Harrison though!

 

[Tipp blue]

We have won a match

And scored twice

Feels like the dawn of a new era

Yea.. now I'm not one to get ahead of myself but I can say we definitely will win every game for the rest of the season.

Beto and Gana changed that game....

Yes it was a win but even the 2nd half wasn`t good enough until they tired.

What a difference a no. 9 makes, a proper no. 9 I was calling for whilst loads were salivating over the prospect of Che Adams...

Sheff Utd were humbled at home by Lincoln, so again we go to a team at home that needs a reaction.

Got lucky tonight....

Beto was a class above the others so defo my MOTM.

Glad Danjuma got a goal (also hit crossbar) so that should give him a boost.

Quite a shameful display but once Gana (the scapegoat for most) came on we became more solid with the help of the removal of Patterson & Dobbin.

I watched Godfrey intently tonight and the lad is a big hindrance and nowhere near PL level and should only ever be on the bench

Myko and Patterson......Oh Dear!!


I watched a scout report about Beto and apparently he likes to drop deeper to receive the ball and then wait for wing backs to join in rather than being an isolated forward. He has plenty of shots which some go in the top corner yet most go in the top row of the stand. Excellent for counter attacking apparently due to strength and speed (that was on show tonight)

Godfrey needs booting, worse touch in football
Myklenko - 50p head
Keane - looks like he playing walking football
Patterson- terrible footballer

 

[Dublin blue 75]

First time we have had 60% posession in a game in a long time

 

[MrGrumpy]

Lol Dan with the snake celebration

 

[PhilRegan]

I reckon gray makes a massive difference today with his pace

 

[joebocop]

Massive let off there, Doncaster will feel hard done by

Beto, Danjuma, Garner and Pickford the only ones who can come out with any credit

You mean gana right? no way garner deserves any credit for his first half display. He is a better right back than patterson though.

 

[Alan Whittle]

And Mateta who can't hit a barn door looked good as a sub last night

Mateta > Edouard.

 

[when i score we riot]

I am still keeping the positive outlook. We look decent at times but lack goal threat, right? At least now we have a case for that threat.

Gana MOTM for me. Only guy who showed some calm on the ball

 

[canuckblue]

Could this prove to be a Kevin Brock moment for us? Not in terms of winning anything, but turning this team in the right direction?

 

[Barrowjohn]

Beto was a breath of fresh air and actually wanted the ball and showed the rest of them the spirit and fight needed after that terrible first half.

 

[Pejic300]

Loving Beto already. I’m enjoying the feeling of a win. Both my lads beaming smiles was worth the terrible first half. Roll on Saturday.
