Shifty Sid 0 Posted January 30, 2009 I''m sorry but we''re not in the top six fighting for automatic promotion. An away point against a relegation rival and a team that have only conceded 9 goals at home all season and recently managed to keep a clean sheet against Villa is a good result in my book.Gunny''s unbeaten in 3. Scored 7, conceded 3. Plenty to be POSITIVE about. What''s gone has gone. Back the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Romantic 0 Posted January 30, 2009 It''s relative isn''t it? That was a tough night that I think we''d have actually lost two weeks ago. Nobody likes it on paper but little bits at a time. 3 unbeaten is definitely an improvement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted January 30, 2009 People do rather seem to think of the ''name'' of the side we are playing rather than who they are and what form they are in, far too often. Yes it was only Doncaster, but so what? It seems you hadn''t noticed that they are now in our division. In the same way that Hull are in the top flight. This is not the mid-80s any more and things change in the game. The side we were playing tonight were on a run of 4 league wins on the trot (including away at Sheff U earlier this week) + had a recent draw against Villa. Yes it is not a win, but nor is it a defeat. There are positives to be gained for even the most pessimistic of supporters, surely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,501 Posted January 30, 2009 They certainly battled hard. I thought Fozzy was gonna give Donny bloke a kirkby kiss (on SSN).Plus the goals were superficially similar, but their''s came fromm a really, really spawny mishit shot, whereas Croft dinked in an excellent little cross (yes, really!) for Grounds.An improvement on Soton. Some reason for optimism perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joanna Grey 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Just looking at the tables shows why this was a good result, our home form is poor but our away form is a lot worse. A point againat an in- form relegation rival is a good result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Flash 13 Posted January 30, 2009 And Doncaster''s last two - Draw 0-0 with Aston Villa who are not actually too bad are they? Then 1-0 away win at Sheff Utd, who are in with an automatic promo chance. That puts tonights away draw into some sort of context. So why shouldn''t we celebrate an excellent away point then?

[:$][:D][/quote]They could, however, beat Sheffield United away - a fixture we completely capitulated in - and drew with Prem form team Aston Villa - something we could probably only ever dream of recently. So in terms of form they''re much better than us and were we the relegation fodder we were 3 weeks ago under Roeder Donny could easily have put 3 or 4 past us.So no, a 1-1 draw is not a good result. But a 1-1 draw against one of the form teams of the league in a game we would certainly have lost a few short weeks ago? I''d say that''s pretty fair....Of course, you''ll come back with a ''witty'' retort calling people sheep, etc, but only time will tell who''s right so until then why not go do something useful like pop your head in the oven?

JJ 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Considering our threadbare squad, its a decent result. Whether that point is a good one in the long term, time will tell. I''m not unhappy but equally I''m not celebrating it like a win. Relieved more like.Anything at Wolves would be a bonus. Let''s hope their nerve starts to go as it always does.

I owe you a pint.[/quote]Were you there Alex? No? Fact is you''re incapable of posting anything remotely positive and frankly there is nothing that can happen that will satify you. Why do you bother? There have been times when we would have completely capitulated in a game like tonight, but after being outplayed in the first half we fought, shaded the second and deserved at least a point against a form side. Not great, but christ alive, the Donny fans afterwards I spoke to were gutted saying they were in great form and expected to shaft us. The players looked more relaxed and though the basic errors were still there (arghhhhh) at least there were signs of team spirit and fight. It''s not much, but i don''t think we''ll go down if they play like the 2nd half, but might if they play like the first!On a very sad note, I was deeply unimpressed by some of our "fans" again, physical threats at Sheff Utd and some 70s style racist comments tonight aimed at Cort. Nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barclay_Boy 0 Posted January 31, 2009 sorry, any of you who think that a point at Doncaster is worth celebrating, and reason to be optimistic symbolise perfectly just how low your expectations have become. No doubt you will be celebrating "a hard fought point" at Carlisle next year, or "we played well and nearly beat Hartlepool at home". Well done Delia, we''re all really pleased apparently.
