Chapman doesn't really run at people anymore does he. Some nice touches but doesn't have the pace anymore 

Might be he can but it scares Mowbray so he has to rein it in...

[TruRover]

Pitch is awful

Oops wrong board

[CambridgeRover]

Bell mistake almost let them in. New left back is the number one priority

Here's the goal without sound, but slightly better quality:

Blackburn - Doncaster 1-0 (Holtby)

And a good pass from Holtby + a shot from Brereton:

Brereton shoots

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Piss poor start

[RevidgeBlue]

I thought we played very well first half until Holtby went off, not so good thereafter.

Love the new kit and the darker shade of blue.

Love the front 3 of Armstrong Brereton and Chapman although I have to say Armstrong doesn't look particularly up for it so far.

Love the fact Wharton is playing and I feel far more confident playing with even Fisher in goal than Walton. 

No doubt Tony will dissipate the feeling of optimism by bringing on Evans and Bennett at some point.

Pitch in a very poor state as everyone says, if its like that now, what will it be like in January or February?

Half asleep second half so far though.

 

[CambridgeRover]

Doncaster on top since the restart. Really looking poor at moving the ball 

[philipl]

Inspirational HT talk from Mowbray obviously

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Pen

[philipl]

Doncaster penalty, Lenihan booked

100% a penalty. Donny have been on top this half.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Absoloute shit show from rovers so far this half.

Second best all over pitch

[Stuart]

Would have loved Fish to have saved that.

[joey_big_nose]

Doncaster woke up and we couldn't cope.

They put so little pressure on us first half. Actually trying now.

[BlackburnEnd75]

Dreadful dive by there number 9.

Goal not exactly against the run of play from the start of the second half.

how many times did that happen last year??

[davulsukur]

Bah, same old Rovers, eh?

Nothing changes 

[CambridgeRover]

Chapman has been very quiet as had Armstrong 

[TruRover]

Never ever a pen. One of the worst decisions I’ve seen

Considering the state of the stadium I'm shocked they didn’t have to shoo away rogue wildlife off the pitch before kick off.
