Doncaster Rovers v Barrow, match thread

[bhbb]

No disrespect but that’s the attitude that will keep us being happy with L2 football for the next 48. So because we had 48 years playing in non league football we should just be grateful! You cannot just pick and choose when these opportunities come along so you have to grasp them when you have the chance like we did when we came up. If we’d played that season out and got caught do you honestly think we’d be in the FL now because I’ll tell you now, we wouldn’t be! Yes it’s been a good season whatever happens but can we stop this ‘we’re lucky to just be in the league’ [SwearFilter]! We’ve been more than good enough all season to potentially get out of this league so just because it’s going tits up it’s suddenly no big deal if we throw the playoffs away!!

We won't *throw it away" c'mon man, we have an olive branch so to speak on Tuesday and we will do this, ffs everyone let's not loose our heads now!

Use this moment with your anger and frustration and get right up em in our back yard!!

Dissatisfied yes, lost the faith no...

Love the optimism but Bradford will come out of the traps firing Tuesday. I don’t think we have the ability to keep a clean sheet. Will all come down to mentality

Stop whinging everyone, for Christ's sake. Whatever happens in the next two games, we have still advanced since last season. After waiting 48 years to get back in the FL, you'd think we'd have learned not to expect instant gratification.

Ive said it before and I will say it again an honourable defeat in the play offs would represent a fantastic season IMO. Not making the playoffs would be disappointing but I would still class it as a good season with progress made. On the pitch we are miles off being ready for league one. Oh and before anyone mentions Stevenage they signed 19 players this season including loans and 16 of them were in the close season. Thats the type of overhaul we would need and I don't believe financially we are in a position to do that.

[Mark Johnson]

We need that experienced midfield general next season, a calm head in the middle. Yes we have foley and I would keep him but he’s past his best now and we need someone like him to come in and help us control the middle. Spence and Campbell have been very good but they need help in there

[Jim]

I am a bit disappointed how things have gone since the end of December, but would prefer to leave analysis of strengths and weaknesses until next Saturday night. Still hoping the team can respond to the atmosphere and fervour on Tuesday night. After all, we did beat them at their place!

[behind the goals]

It really beggars belief that Warren gets picked ahead of Mazeed Ogungbo and Junior Tiensia you really have to question the management's decisions some times, it obvious Stockton isn't fit so why wasn't Proctor on the bench really disappointing today, but we move onto the biggest home game for a while and still a chance of a playoff spot.

[ossickbluebird]

Pete Wild has done an amazing job at Barrow and will probably go on to manage at a higher level but he made a big mistake today, he tried to take some momentum out of Doncasters pressure by making a substitution but taking Stephenson off was completely unnecessary.

[vialli 9]

Most disappointing thing about today's game was conceding 3 goals in the last 10 minutes, after only conceding 4 times in that period in the preceeding 43 matches.

Fat person has not sung yet!

We will do this but with help from us..

Recreate the atmospheres like staylybridge, Brentford, oxford, Wembley etc etc... we have done fantastic all season and yes, it Dreamland but we are here on merit!!!

Wether we win a playoff game or not is irrelevant right now, it's a time to be proud, loud and Barrow!! C'mon, have we ever done it the easy way?

Keep your heads folks please, now is not the time to turn your backs on what is our best season for generations!!

6pts to play for, I think we will get four!

Stick with it

THIS ..... ^

They play on the opposite side to Warren. Personally id have had Worral on the bench instead of Warren as he was signed as a right wing back the position he played for Port vale last season .

He'll never manage at a higher level unless he shows more nous and resilience!

We never do things the easy things way, we will do it cos it's our time!

We've fought all season to be where we are and we must not forget that! We have been there or there abouts all season pretty much and yeh to some degree we are punching above our weight but this is football, it's all about the games the match , the moment.. we have all seems heartaches before but [SwearFilter] me.. we are STILL there so let's show some Barrow pride, Barrow passion and ffs even if it means taking the shoes off again!!

It's our backyard, it's our home, nobody comes here and ruffles our feathers right?

No, not this time.. Bradford have failed and fallen by the wayside, they won't bring many and hey, nobody likes coming to us anyway so let's just get right into em and let them know, we are Barrow!!!

Stick your chest out now and be [SwearFilter] proud and load Tuesday and Saturday!!

Worral was on the bench.

[MisterPleasant]

Very frustrating that we haven’t managed that. We looked comfortable before the pen and then we completely collapsed. If we make the playoffs , great and wild should get credit , and if we don’t Wild has to take responsibility for some of his decisions … I can not for the life of me understand why Stephenson came off when he did. He was so solid today

Not listened to Wilds post match interview but I expect Adam must have asked him because we all would like to know the answer to his baffling decision.

He didn't ask and I suspect because he could tell Wild was hurting. It was a short interview, see my summary of it earlier in the thread.

A good journalist asks the difficult questions the fans want answers to.
PW should be hurting. Do him well to accept a bit responsibility at times too.
