[Archived] Rovers v Donny: 11th January 2014...if only it was 1958!

[yoda's brother]

Always a concern when our fans start getting ahead of themselves predicting 3, 4 and 5 goal wins. How often do we get those?

Doncaster are well organised, efficient and hardworking. Underestimate them at our peril. Hope their players don't read this thread.

Hopefully we can break them down and nick a 1-0 win. It won't be the 5-0 some are predicting.

[Howler]

0-1, apocalypse on here with bowyer out posts

[1864roverite]

I would settle for a 1-0 last minute win.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

I would settle for any kind of win

I've given up trying to predict C'ship games

Just hope we look to attack them from the off, pressure them high up the pitch, don't play with two defensive mids, and make changes earlier if it isn't working

[The Rover of Finland]

Hard to say the starting line up. Is Robbo there? Is Dann yet a Rovers player? Is Dunny fit?? Or will Gestede start with Rhodes anyway? Will King start ahead of Marshall?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

If we can't beat Donny,well.....

At least we don't have to prepare for that. We all have so much experience of the big let down. We know exactly how to behave and what to post!

Got my tickets hopefully they wont let me down

[CapeTownRover]

Massive game for us, 2 good performances in a row and need to keep the run going before some tough games coming up. Bearing in mind the experiences of the last 3 years it's hard to be too confident but surely.........

Knowing our history of couple of good performances against tough opposition, followed by a poor one where we should win, but then lose, i would tread with caution. That said, i hope Bowyer is positive in his approach, and if we can out of this game with 3 points, then onwards and upwards i say

Just don't play Willowe. It's either one or the other. We're playing Doncaster, not Man. City.

[Tom]

Agreed toppers play Lowe in this one alongside Cairney

[oldjamfan]

I'll be on the 10am from Glasgow Central as usual COYB!!!!

Damm that could be your best avatar yet. Its weirdly hypnotic

I now find it impossible to read your posts.

[RevidgeBlue]

Love the signature oldjamfan. Shanks at his best.

Long standing fans will realise this game against mediocre looking opposition looks perfectly set up for a typical "after the Lord Mayor's show" type performance from Rovers.

The three points are crucial but I'm not expecting a classic I'd happily take an 89th minute win off someone's backside.

Then we can dispose of Citeh on Wednesday and off we go. Lol.

Even fans who started watching this season could tell you that

Every time we get a good couple of results we find ourself with a good chance to push on and we manage to blow it needlessly

I'm just hoping this time it's different

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

I am a fan of Lowe but I would save him for City and play Williamson.

It feels different this time. Really feel we are building some momentum now

[Bucksrover]

It has been said but a big factor is whether bowyer picks lowe and williamson to start. If he does we could struggle. I hope he goes for it and just plays one of the water carriers.

We have some good attacking players to choose from.

[Brad]

Cheeky little wager on this one for me. 2-1 after going down early.. COYB!!

[Husky]

Hi guys. Does anyone know if half-season tickets are still available? I had a look on my online account but nothing shows up on the 'season tickets' or 'events' categories. Surely they haven't all gone?
