Edwards easily MotM so far. I would like to see him up front in the centre, running at them.

It’s a difficult game to watch. We’ve gifted them a goal and passed the ball more to their players than our own. We are slow to go in for 50/50 balls giving them the advantage every time.
We’re playing against a ref who only sees what he wants to see, decisions mostly going Doncaster’s way.
The worst one obviously was the lack of a RED card in the first half. Shocking decision l!!
Get some fresh legs on.
We’ve nothing to lose now, so let’s get the ball forward and give us a goal, please!

Great save by Moore, and then a brilliant block on the line by Stott

Edwards off ???

[Keith]

Edwards off ???

Probably down to fitness?

[Redalert1970]

8 subs and 5 yellow cards in the 2nd

Only 3 mins injury time !!!

[Keith]

What's with this ref???

There have been eight substitutions in the second half, but he only adds three minutes on? It is supposed to be thirty seconds per substitution, so not only does he not understand the laws of the game, he's crap at maths too.

[Redalert1970]

Another decent effort but that's 0 points and 0 goals from 3 league games !!

Pretty obvious where the problem is

Up next Newport at home (top scorers in the division so far)

[redrobo]

Only consolation is that we are not getting stuffed by teams who should be in the promotion mix come May.

If DA can find a striker with the extra money it sounds as though he has got then positive results will come.

A comic goal won it for Donny but when your luck is out then these things happen.....including the non award of certain penalties.

DA would have been furious on the touch line I'm sure.

Better times will come when (not if) we find that much needed striker....even a loanee...

[Billy bodger]

Well a good effort to stay in the game second half but it is up front where we are lacking. Our third 1-0 loss. Again fine margins but if you don’t score and the opponents nick a goal it’s another bad day I’m afraid. So we are bottom.

it is also disappointing they had one shot on target in the first half and scored.
It’s one of those, but we have no points.
It’s a must must win against Crew Alex.

[Redalert1970]

We need a goal and a win very soon

Cant afford to get attached

[glagys]

Bottom of the league and only to be expected really
Team made of players that were released or not offered extended contracts at national league teams
JW better sell the club soon otherwise it is getting less and less marketable every week at this rate

[Keith]

A funny game really. Second week on the trot, we were pretty even, but lost to a single goal, that in itself, had a bit of luck for the opposition.

That said, Doncaster hit the woodwork three times and we had a brilliant clearance off the line. So, it could also have been 5-0 on another day.

The key issue, which we can all see, is we have no goalscoring threat. A long-range free-kick on target, which was easily saved, was our only real chance.

[Angler1]

It's obvious to all we require 1 possibly 2 strikers , I hope the supposedly sale happens soon so we have time to bring in tge strikers ..

[Redalert1970]

Does anyone actually think the sale will even happen !!!

[KenH]

Does anyone actually think the sale will even happen !!!

Even if it does, do we seriously think the new buyers will pump in shed loads of cash? I think it's more likely another asset stripper will buy it. There aren't many millionaires around willing to put in half a million or a million to cover the club's losses every year for no return.

[Angler1]

It's going to be worth a lot less if we are relegated, which at the moment looks odds on.

[redrobo]

Sky don't seem to feel that our penalty claim in the first 45 is worth showing on the highlights.

[lancaster shrimp]

We didn't look like scoring again. I said after last week (but not on here) nobody in that team looks like scoring over 10 goals

Also think the manager will walk before January.

[Keith]

Sky don't seem to feel that our penalty claim in the first 45 is worth showing on the highlights.

Did they show the 'yellow card'?

To be fair, the penalty claim quite possibly wasn't. Slew didn't complain and it wasn't shown again, so it is just me, watching it once. I thought he was pulled and that's why he didn't get closer to the ball, but perhaps it wasn't.

The Radio Lancashire round up between 5and 6 didn’t really have a good word for us . Don’t know if anybody can put a link on here ?. Basically have us down already !
