T.L.O. Arsenal v. The Mighty Doncaster Rovers

[Guernsey Exile]

Houghton off :-(

[Guernsey Exile]

Gone to 442 = mandy and may up top

[bobjimwilly]

mandeville instead of marquis?

[Metalmicky]

Now flares going off....

Not heard Mandy's name in commentary

[Guernsey Exile]

Surely time for Marquis

[Guernsey Exile]

Now flares going off....

Not heard Mandy's name in commentary

Just took the corner

[DearneValleyRover]

Marquis on and nearly scored, if we get one I think we would win this.

[dknward2]

No shame in this result and performance

[Bristol Red Rover]

Whatever happens now, impressed with us, the boys have done good

[bobjimwilly]

playing really well now!

[dknward2]

If we can transfer this performance to the league we should be looking up

[DearneValleyRover]

Just need to take this into the league games

[PDX_Rover]

Have to say Whiteman has been terrible. Utterly terrible. Arsenal totally dominated the first half an hour. We came back into it. Second half, we are the better team.

Sanchez a class above everyone else but should have been booked for his cynical chop on Dave, who has been excellent. Really grew into the game.

Not over yet. I would LOVE it, LOVE it ff we grabbed a goal. We deserve it.

[DearneValleyRover]

Mandy oooh

[PDX_Rover]

Much better as 4-4-2. Oooh close from Mandy...

[DearneValleyRover]

Bugger, off the bar

[PDX_Rover]

The commentary here on ESPN is incredibly condescending, as you'd expect. He's trotted out every cliche and platitude you a commentator could muster.

51 places above us.
Drink in the occasion.
Done well to hang on so long, to be honest.

[PDX_Rover]

4 mins! COME ON....

[DearneValleyRover]

I think that spell of corners a few mins ago was our chance

[Metalmicky]

Sending plenty of praise on 5 extra...

[PDX_Rover]

"You can't fault their effort."

The hits just keep on coming...

[DearneValleyRover]

Proud of the lads tonight now they need to go and stuff Plymouth on Saturday and take that performance into the league campaign

[bobjimwilly]

play like that in League One and we'll do very well.

[PDX_Rover]

Very good performance after the first 30. We were much the better team second half. Loads of positives from that. 4-4-2 is the system and maybe there is life after Copps.

[bobjimwilly]

maybe there is life after Copps.

must say, Mandeville's corners were much better. Copps looking a bit tired tonight

[Rich_The_Conisbrough_Rover]

Proud tonight, we held up very well against a world class starting 11.

Hopefully tonight is the turning point of our season.

[darren61]

 We should all be proud of the effort shown by the lads tonight, lets hope its the blue touch paper lit for the rest of season, proud of my team tonight, come on you mighty reds. 

[bobbymax]

Terrific all-round performance. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a defeat as much!
We just lacked that bit of pace up front or we could easily have taken that to extra-time.

[dknward2]

Was glad to see 442 used and that kongolo had a good game.

Think this will be the jump start our season needed, I do think some players held back these last few weeks but glad to see they left nothing back tonight, hopefully now we can play like that for the rest of the season

[bobjimwilly]
