    Halliday isn’t a right sided centre back as long as he has a hole . It’s been proven , why try again ?

    I am just hoping Walsall don't sack Sadler before next Saturday.

    They can have Baldwin on a season long loan next season as a reward

    Yes. I get the impression that the players were fuming with Baldwin and used that energy to show some much needed courage.

    I don't go along with the Doncaster were not motivated line, we started to match them and then got a deserved chance of an equaliser at the end.

    A backline of Johnson, Huntington and Crichlow would be fine - assuming. Shepherd is still injured.

    Chance creation hasn't been a big problem lately.

    Because Byrne is that bad and Haliday is a right sided defender

    Looking at the stats of points totals since 09/10 season. If Doncaster win next week they'll win the league on 84 points, only 2 teams have won the league with less in the last 14 seasons, 4 times it wouldn't even be enough for top 3. If we win an go up on 78 points that will be the joint lowest points total for promotion level with Port Vale in 12/13.
    If us and Walsall were to lose and Notts County fail to win so go up on 75 points we'd end up with less points than we got in the 22/23 season when we lost in the play offs.
    What is ridiculous about the division this year is that there will either be 15 or 16 teams finishing on 60+ points which is normally enough for a top half finish

    Shot to pieces mate. Couldn’t watch it today, but took a sneaky look at half time. Saw the Baldwin red card and thought WTF.

    Then I was out driving and had the radio off. Turned it on at the exact moment we got a penalty only to hear it saved.

    In and amongst all that I had to take my Mum to hospital unexpectedly - I was in the middle of a 10 mile run and had to turn around and run back when I got the call. (She’s OK by the way).

    A really weird day!

    Been very competitive this year. It’s not always the best quality but it’s entertaining.

    It's certainly been a much more even division which is probably the reason for so much inconsistency. The play offs could be chaos this season, looking at the last 20 game form table the play offs could end up being 9th, 13th, 14th and 23rd from the form table. If we were neutrals this would have been a great league to follow
