Stock

Looked off the pace today.

Very similar to the Wales performance midweek. I think he may have to play his way into form. Dont think he helped Martis at times today by playing him hospital balls.

Anyone heard SOD's views on the game today?

He looks a little nervous about reinjuring his back and ankle. First half at Preston he looked good. Give him time I think we'll soon see the quality player that he is.

If Stocky was off the pace, what was Woods?

Still on holiday.

I think I heard SOD on Dee Dah saying he was disappointed with our reaction to going a goal down. Both the players and the crowd !

What does he chuffin expect ? From where I was sat on the back row above him, I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary! I shouted \"Come on Rovers get a grip\" but there's nowt wrong with that is there ?

Stocky was off the pace. 50/50 down to him and the players around him.

Towards the end did you see him all of a sudden leave his normal position and run across to the right flank, as if to say I've had enough of this. He then left it to Gillett to play the anchor role before he went off. May be it is an injury.

Woods on hols like it, Sheils was with him as well and half the rest of the squad, good job we have dependable Jimmy.

The reason why stock looked off the pace was mainly due to their number 9 following him like a stalker on heat! Much like Joe garner did when we were in league 1. I was very impressed with the shift the Bristol players put in, it was obvious from the start they would waste time and pressure us all over the pitch. I'm sure that next week they will be back to our original passing

Exactly - Millen decided to put the No 9 (Clarkson) to push onto Stock which left the Centre Backs as our points of distribution and unfortunately their style was lump it forward like centre backs do .... now that DRFC have a reputation for controlling the ball and passing round teams it is to be expected that people visiting the Keepmoat will come with a plan - it is then up to Mr O'D to find a few surprises, and with the midfield still not match fit he didn't have many options.
