You must have done Ian !...or I would be disappointed !.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Bloody brilliant result!! Sounded like they all worked their socks off - well played lads, roll on Saturday :)

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Just watched the highlights on Sky.. the best of aĺl for me was Billy Kee's superb control and lay-off for Smythy's goal..... sheer poetry !!
But Donny came close at the end !!... but who cares ?... another Yippee coming !!....
Whoops..there it goes !!.

Euphoria abounds !!.:cool:

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

What a shock to switch on teletext and scroll to the results page to see that magnificent score from Doncaster. 3 points on Saturday and we can all go on holiday until August in the knowledge that we will still be playing league 1 football, although TBH, I wonder how many Mackem fans will be supporting us for our last game away at Pompey. What pleasant dreams I will have tonight and I am sure when Kiwi gets up he will be doing a jig around his home (PS Kiwi, please stay in bed on Saturday too LOL). Euphoria abounds. On Stanley On.

I have given up predicting anything to do with Acci or Wigan!!!,beating Leeds with ten men !!, Wigan’s and Acci have similar traits:)

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

I think I've got this right ….

Bradford and Walsall can't catch us. Worst case 22nd.
Scunthorpe have to play Plymouth. If they draw, neither of them can catch us. Safe (regardless of our result against Plymouth)!!
Otherwise, whichever one loses can't catch us. Worst case 21st.
If we take a point off Plymouth, they can't catch us. And if they then just don't lose to Scunny, we're safe again - because ….
Scunny need to win both their remaining games (the other one's Bradford) to pass us.
And so do Wimbledon (v Wycombe and Bradford)
Southend need a win and a draw (v Rochdale and Sunderland) to catch us.
And Wycombe, Bristol Rovers, Shrewsbury and Rochdale need a point to pass us.

So …. we aren't absolutely safe :eek: - but it would need a horrible combination of results for us to go down now.

On Stanley On!!

Thanks for that, Chimer. Just been trying to work that out meself...and gave up in total confusion!

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Lots of ifs and buts there Chimer, makes for an interesting end to the season though.
Here's the way I see it ending. Rochdale and Stanley 54 pts, Shrews 53, Gills and Wycombe 52, Rovers and Plymouth 50, Scuny 49, Wimbledon 48. Southend 47, Walsall 43 and Bradford 38. Of course it won't but as long as we're above 4th I'll take it.

So that's why he put two up front

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Smith up front against Luton's spoiling game would not have worked as the Ref was giving us nowt. Tonight a fair Ref, a good pitch and two teams wanting to play football.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Got to say, the pitch made all the difference tonight, what a brilliant surface, especially at this stage of the season, allowing us to play at our best, along with opponents who play football, rather than some of the brutish bullies we seem to encounter on a more regular basis. Hopefully Andy will not regret his decision to spend 300k to provide us with a similar facility for next season IN LEAGUE ONE!

And, in answer to another poster who wondered why Smyth didn't feature against Luton..... no-one can dribble/run at pace on the ploughed field that doubles as our current pitch, tonight he showed what he can do, given the right facilities.

Also good to see Janoi on the right, he had, IMHO, the best game I have seen him since his return. Big Ben on the left also performed better than he has done in recent times.... in fact, every single one of them 'stepped up to the plate', and thoroughly deserve to continue to play at this level next season!

Wish we could keep them all, but, inevitably, there will be changes in personnel come next season, but, 'Keep the Faith', Coley will ensure that we have suitable replacements for those that either return to parent clubs, or provide Andy with sufficient funds to keep improving, on or off the pitch!
