Match Thread City v Doncaster Rovers Saturday 30 July 2022 @ 3.00pm

It was certainly reckless, I can’t imagine anybody could doubt that, could they?

 

What you did wasn’t critical, it was saying something just to get noticed, just any old crap. Give us a match run down in 15 min quarters. What what did Doncaster do in the last 5 mins . Twice!
I’ll wait.

 

Yes it was 2 footed. Even if there was no intent it was dangerous and out of control. No doubt in my mind it was a straight red card.

 

Eh?

 

Call me out all you want. Wasn't on my own either, in the area where I sit there we plenty others using much more colourful language.

@king karl looks like you are going to have to think about adding brain dead and bell end to the sweary word list.

 

Nah, I believe but just don’t act like a baby in pre season.

I understand the game and know that teams will make it tough for us.

We were too slow on the ball today but I am not ruling us out but improvement is required and it will come.

 

You want a hug love.

 

I'm on about your poor family not the supporters at Bradford City.

 

Write today off. A leg break after five mins is always gonna lower the mood. Important thing was not to lose. Whoever finishes above them will be in the top seven

 

The ref was trying so hard to play the neutral, he had an absolute shocker. The timewasting he permitted was pretty appalling. I posted early in the first half what they were doing, he allowed it and it only got worse. Reminds me of Swindon years ago, 15 fatal head wounds in a game was too much to bear only to see them right as rain after the ref stopped play and the sponge jockey wasted three or four minutes. If that what Scotland has to offer??

 

Eh what? My opinion is that Oliver was no improvement on Andy Cook.
That’s my opinion, if it’s not yours then fair enough. I hope he improves and goes on to score 20 goals but on that showing it’s unlikely

 

Well that was a frustrating watch for me far too slow to move the ball, not enough fluidity or urgency. In truth they had the better chances. Sutton doesn't look fit! Thought Critchlow looked very good, Harrett looked lively and Lewis made a great save.

Doncaster were god awful all round they came to park the bus and waste time. For the amount of fans they brought they were dreadful. The tackle on Osadebe looked horrendous and a definate straight red. The whole Tomlin thing was the most bizarre thing screams of some kind of fix. If I was a betting regulator I'd be having a look at that. Unless he's completely lost his head why would he refuse to retreat, kick the ball away straight after being booked and then chuck himself on the floor like he'd been punched embarrassing really. As for Miller I'm glad he doesn't play for us.

 

80% possession we had. Can’t remember ever seeing us get that much!

22 shots to 3 but the telling one, only 2 on target to their one.

We need more flair, i.e Dion

 

Dont waste your time with Fordy mini mate

 

Donny top 7 ….you are kidding me. On that performance especially at home they will be in a survival battle. Zero up front and 8 at the back doesn’t bode well.

 

He came in late and missed some of the pre season. Hughes obviously wanted to start him but I'd have had Cook start with him to come on. He has seemed about a week behind the rest of the squad in the pre season matches.

 

Diamond !

 

Christ look out, Social services are here.

Your concern has been noted and dismissed. Jog on.

 

You wouldn’t give me one sonny.

 

Look at the stats Kev. We’ve dominated (80% possession, lol) yet they nilled us and we had a meagre two shots on target. That is due to their organisation, as much as our impotence.

They’ll be in the hunt for me, along with us, Northampton, Mansfield, Salford and maybe Stockport and whoever else.
