Am travelling up. Difficult to predict a positive result in terms of scoring and not conceding. Especially with depleted playing staff.
But as ever we hope

If we lose tonight we really are in the shit
Cannot see beyond a 0-0 or a 1-1
Then again, County put 5 past our best 11
Ameichi, Bakayyoko and Kachunga put no fear in any opposition and for me are rank bad signings.
God I’m so deflated😞

We just about have enough players left to put out a starting line-up.
I fear that Isgrove will need to fill in at right back again which is not ideal. Are either Gordon or John capable of playing on the right with the other on the left? I know they are both left-footed.
I am guessing that Johnston will play in the Williams role with Thomason and Lee in midfield. Kachunga and Afolayan supporting a fit again Doyle (I hope!). If Doyle is not fit, I worry. Maybe Amaechi will start instead of Kachunga (just dreaming here!).
We are, for the second home game running, playing one of the poorest teams in the league. I thought that we struggled against Crewe so tonight will not be easy.
Based on recent raggy defensive showings, I think we will concede so I will go for a 2-1 win.

Well, I would have said a comfy win before all the injuries hit.
Doncaster are pretty poor. 0 away clean sheets out of 9 played this season.
failed to scored in 6 of their 9 away games too.
1 win in their last 7 lge games. no wins in their last 4, although last 2 unbeaten.... 1 of those was against Crewe tbf.
our goal diff -3. theirs -18
we've scored 24. they've scored 11...not even half our total. !!
their top scorer is Tommy Rowe who's scored 3 goals. no-one else in the team has more than 1.
if we can get the ball to Dapo and Xav we should have the weapons to hurt them.
anyone who's fit will play.
possibly back 3 of Aimson, GJ, Santos.. wing backs of John/ Isgrove.
midfield 2 of GT & KL.
up front... Xav, Dapo & Doyle. apologies if i'd guessed anyone who's injured, as hard to keep on top of them all.
& even the likes of Kach & Delf can probably offer something against this level of opposition.

I’ll get my boots you never know, seriously these are the games that we really should be winning even though we’re short on numbers. My only worry is we might have to play Delfouneso I really want him to come to live and bang a few in but every time I’ve watched him lately he’s been lazy with no get up and go. Still I’m going to be optimistic and go for a 3-1 win stay safe one and all onwards and upwards COYWM 🤞

I think you’re clutching at straws with Delfouneso chip and if I see him come on again I’ll expect nothing because that’s all we usually get. I’d much rather see Evatt actually play one of the young players he keeps filling the bench with, on the basis that what they lack in experience, they make up for in enthusiasm, or in Mitch Henrys case pace, which we’ve lacked for ages. I may live to regret this but I just can’t see us not winning this, probably more comfortably than we expect. There’s certainly no confidence over here from the Donny fans that they’ll get anything, so let’s just hope they’re right? Wanderers 3 Donny 0 because we owe them a smacking.

If we start with
Dixon, Isgrove, Santos, Aimson, John, Lee,Johnston, Thomason, Dapo, Doyle and Kachunga then its far from perfect but that team should be capable of a win, dl doubt.
Could even as mentioned try Aimson RB Johnston CB Lee and GT and have Isgrove taking up an attacking role.
Theres not lots of options but enough.
Said(a bit in jest) but this has been a little self inflicted as we could have had Comley and Sarcevic to choose from. Honestly think they both get in XI tonight. Could have had a recall clause for Politic, Darcy and even Crawford. Again think all them make tonights squats.
Ifs and buts sure and I dont blame anyone for releasing Comley or the loan deals. Maybe Politic could have been given time here. But Sarcevic I wont be drawing a line under that until the end of the season and we can genuinely say it was a mistake or it was beneficial to us.

Yes, OM, I think a few of us have had that thought about Sarce. Manager does like to take the odd risk..like playing rookie keeper last season while not having replacement ( Gilks) up to speed, and also take risks with no keepers on bench. don't mind the latter to some extent but given the context that we had extra subs last year & certain subs just weren't realistically going to get used, ( 2 def mids Comley and Tutte etc) , it did seem a bit o.t.t to keep doing it. |

Nobody could have foreseen our injury problems and I don’t blame IE for releasing any of the players he has, even the loans for DP and RD I could understand but there’s no doubt it has left us with a very thin squad. Normally we have at least some back up from the U23 team but even the likes of Senior and Edwards have been outed, so with Darcevand Conley gone it really does leave us sparse. I’m not sure that Doyle or Xav will be fit to start tonight, we’ll have to see but I wouldn’t want them to come back too early and break down. Surely we must be able to get something, even a draw against a Doncaster side who have as many injury worries as we do? I still think we’ll win.

2-0 halftime not a pretty game but win as many point's as we can between now and January with what we have and maybe get some body's in. I'm not bothered how we do it just keep getting the points onwards and upwards stay safe one and all COYWM
