A club that thrives on adversity!!
Doncaster rovers are in a sticky situation at the moment and we need to pull together now more than ever and use the events of the last two weeks as motivation to prove everyone wrong!!
If we could stayup now it would be a greater achievment than all them promotions put together, and Saunders and JR need to use this to rally the players and fans tonight and for the remaining 19 games this season!!

We have some class players still at the club, stock woods oster bennett etc and they all need to start putting there hands up now and start scoring the goals to assist Hayter, its now not the time for them to start feeling sorry for themselves!

So Just faking get out there and give everything for the remaining 30 hrs of football to be played, its not over yet!
This club has had to fight for its pure existance once before and will now have to do it again!

re: A club that thrives on adversity!!
What a result yesterday for a few reasons,
1/ they did what I hoped they would do and scrapped for there very lives and didnt cave into pressure late on like they usually do away from home!
2/ So because of this they kept there first clean sheet on the road since derby last season...hopefully now that monkeys off there back it will be the first of many away, confidence will return to the defence!
3/ with that point we have moved upto 3rd bottom now with only one team between us and safety!

So now we role on to Reading at home on Saturday and a chance to close upto only 2 points from safety...we can do it guys because where doncaster rovers, the team that everyone writes off at there peril!!

re: A club that thrives on adversity!!
A precious point, but not much to inspire except earnest endeavour. We played mainly behind the ball together with stifling, swarming tactics to prevent outlets for them (obviously pre-planned) with superb assured Button (my MoM) pouching everything, keeping us in the game. It's a good job they didn't have their shooting boots on. Probably explains why they were keen to sign Billy.

I thought Diouf had a decent game, keeping possession with a few tricks and tantrums. I wonder whether there was any significance in handing his shirt to our fans at the end of the game?

Any attacks we mounted were sporadic and lacking cohesion, their 'keeper only having two saves to make - a Diouf distance curler from just outside the box on the left which almost caught their goalie unawares, and a last - second header from a corner which nearly stole all three points.

Bamogo on the right wing showed flashes of being a handful. If match fitness is his problem there may be more to come from him, but his fiery character, in the Diouf mould, may bring him disciplinary problems.

However, even with players returning from injury, on this performance, holding Reading will be tough.

Hellcid, who's this new player we've signed, Ernest N Devour? Looks like an inspired signing. And it seems Diouf needs disciplining - the club can't afford to be giving shirts away! Hope it's not his last match... Anyway, let's stay positive. A good point, even if performance didn't quite match the result.

He's the step son (5 times removed) of Willie Maykit, a trialist who played 20 minutes for Rovers in the 70's. We never saw him again!
