Watching home games is getting irritatingly annoying. Teams all set up the same, can't blame them but its so annoying. Kasim and Gladwin were awful. It was never a penalty and Smiths penalty was just awful.

A bad day in the office but the worst reffing performance I've seen in a long while. The worst penalty decision since the Tuesday night against Hartlepool when Jerel did an airshot outside the box. You then think he can't make another decision as bad as that and yes he did with the free kick in front of the DRS when their player literally just dived in the air. This was followed up late on by the ball being a good yard over the line before their player crossed it and fods fumbled it on to the post. I didn't think ours was a penalty.
Doncaster were shit but won. Rochdale beat us and they were good.
How many times did their centre half go right through Obika.
I struggled with MOM but would have given it to Stephens. There were some bad performances out there but even so we were infinitely better than Doncaster who truly were shit

Well that was awful, we were awful, the ref was a joke, but at the end of the day we had enough chances in the second half to have won.  horrible side but they did a job on us.  Surprised to hear Cooper say he was pleased with the performance!  Gladwin was pathetic, cannot run, no good on the left wing!  Too many players not at the races today, apathetic is the way to describe our performance.  The only one with any pace was Williams, should have taken Gladwin off and moved Willo slightly wider.  No energy, no desire!

Except for last week?

You've got to give them some credit to be fair. They were well organised, sussed us out and did the job. It was up to us to break them down, we couldn't.

They have a good record away from home as well.

Awful performance but just a bad day at the office really. Doncaster were the embodiment of Dickov as a player.

Much prefer watching us playing away, we're such a better side when teams come at us rather than getting 11 men behind the ball.

I presume teams do that against the Dongs as well.

They seem to get round it, though.

We seem to try to be too precise and lose momentum going forward at times.

Can't really be bothered to type too much but generally too many below par performances. The ref have a shocking penalty and then continued to give baffling decisions for both sides.

Second half was a much better showing and Obika hit the post before Williams fluffed his lines when one on one. The ref then gave a soft as hell penalty which you just knew we wouldn't take.

Doncaster were well organised and defended manfully, we just couldn't break them down. Hey ho!

I agree with chalkies, Stephens was my man of the match. Nathan was good too, but made one stupid blunder that Donny should have scored from.

Move on.
Fantastic position. Can't win every game and did enough to at least get a point.
Not our best performance but in the mix at Christmas is unbelievable.
On to Walsall.

Bumped into Tim Sherwood before the game - dressed to kill man in black.

Asked him if he was here for a job - Cooper doing to well for that said he

But it is a fair assessment of this week. Hopefully consistency will come

Was puzzled as to why Obika was taken off. When ball got into his feet he turned sharply and looked like breaking them down.

Gladwin did look very much out of position this week (one peach of a cross in the first 10 aside). Which I suppose was exactly what he was...

he was sat behind Power during the game, they were chatting quite a bit. wonder how much involvement he has?

Power looks really tense at times during the game
