Blackburn v Doncaster, FA Cup, Sat 9th Jan

[bluebruce]

In fairness to Bell he clearly took a knock about 7 or 8 minutes in that seems to be troubling him.

Dolan easily our best player so far.

we are live on ESPN now..

[Exiled_Rover]

Who are we crossing to? There's no-one in the box!

[Bigdoggsteel]

We are like a shite Arsenal, tippy tappy nonsese 

Jesus where is that gif with Ince where he has SHOOT written. 

How many goals do we concede from distance?

Haven't seen Dolan do much.

Downing for me

this false number  nine that tony loves so much should be a sackable offence,i think tony has a massively high opinion of his own tactical prowess

Is the picture you are getting not full screen? looks like pan and scan from a 80's video

Better than nothing I suppose

[Stuart]

That was like a bullet. Would have been an awesome goal.

I can't understand the Dolan love - people definitely watch him through blue and white tinted glasses.

Agreed. Johnson and Buckley playing out of position though and the main thing is Travis doesn't get injured 

Nobody covering themselves in glory

We are muddled. Hard to see what the plan is

Downing has played well, a couple of risky backwards passes aside.

Dolan hasn't been in the danger area with the ball in space much, sure, but his touch, control, dribbling and intelligence has been streets ahead of the rest. Some of the lads just not on his wavelength or he would have been creating chances. Once someone does free him up in that danger area he will roast this lot. Doncaster also putting 2 or 3 men on him as soon as he gets the ball.

[Tom]

Brilliant again by Dolan

[J*B]

I know I always give him a hard time but I just cannot see why anyone rates Buckley. Too small, too lightweight, not commanding enough, not enough influence. 

[bluebruce]

Actually dont think Buckley is playing too badly tbh and I'm not a fan.

That Dolan can still do these skills so consistently on this horrid bobbly turf is ridiculous.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Well on top now

Did you type this after the shot that probably wouldn’t have even reached?

[Doug]

How did we not score, good football leading up to the chance.

In a general sense totally agree but he has done a few nice things today.

Christ we should have buried that!
