Match Thread Doncaster Rovers Vs Bradford City EFL Trophy - Tuesday 11 Nov 2025 7.00pm

And Richards is far more mobile too. Meaning we're not only attacking down one side.

 

How is he stood on his own?

 

Well, if you stop marking someone and give them a free header...

 

Marking ? Two centre half’s just mosying about

 

So much room and time?

 

Poor defending.

Had to be Gibson ffs

 

Devastating time to concede, can’t believe it gutted.

 

The subs have transformed Donny

 

He wasn't until Halliday moved away from him.

But, Halliday moved away from him because he saw two players running into the penalty area unmarked.

And he had to do that because Byrne was too far over and left of McIntyre instead of being on the right side of defence where he should have been.

Byrne was positionally awful there.

 

This has been city's way recently, creating chances but not finishing them.

 

Looking like we've lost this now.

Our press has lost its shape and we're going in individually which means Doncaster can just pass around us.

 

Far too easy again

 

As they did just then. Easy, easy goal.

 

The whole team look knackered.....

 

Sorry everyone. Since I turned it on we've been absolutely awful.

Making Donny look like Barcelona.

 

Do we have any centre half’s on the pitch

 

Death. Taxes. Grant McCann getting the better of our Graham

 

Been totally outplayed in the 2nd half, we've barely had a touch of the ball. Another game where I think we should have switched to 3412 to get more pressure on their defence so they can't pass it so easily.

McIntyre loses his man and asking for Hilton to come out when he was never going to get there.

 

Hilton with the classic "rush out halfway then stop" error.

 

Doncaster certainly have the upper hand on City in the last couple of seasons,as soon as they put their first team players on at half time we’ve been outplayed.
