Good 3 points battled away like I said before the game lacking quality in passing but looks like we have found another good young loanee keeper deserved his clean sheet commanded his box well with some lovely catches. On the whole we defended well midfield battled away pity Pritchard faded a bit second half because he's the one who ouzes class when on his game. Front two battled well but thought their center half got the better of Charles has he became increasingly frustrated should have brought Mumbongo on earlier because he offers a different style and in his short time on caused a few problems looks strong and direct clean sheet and three more points come on.
Agree with Andy d, just to add Rodgers and Sykes made many great clearances so despite the pressure are goal never came close to being breached.
On the other foot, second half we got pinner back as the balls forward where aimless and nothing stuck up top till the injury time sub. Seamus was perhaps the missing link to calm the possession down at this point.
A win is a win, pleased with 6 points from 9 available.

I agree with you about the referee. Another one clearly who thinks that his main priority is to ‘play on’ and ‘keep the game flowing’. He acted on only eighteen fouls……ten against us and eight against Doncaster! In reality he spoiled the second half as he was letting far too much mauling, wrestling and shirt pulling go without taking action. This type of refereeing can increase the risk of injuries to players too. So in trying to ‘maintain the flow of play’ he actually ruined the match as a spectacle! Two of our yellow cards were justified as they were professional fouls but how Doncaster didn’t have three or four yellow cards remains a mystery! Doncaster were very clever but blatantly so with little pushes in the backs of our players, thus knocking them off balance and mis hitting the ball. Players on both sides in the second half were not allowed to win the ball without being pulled, pushed and dragged around which caused far too much of the play from both sides to be up in the air! IMHO referees should simply apply the rules properly regarding unfair physical contact and allow teams to ‘play football’!
Descended into a horrible game of pushing, pulling and up and unders. Glad not to have to watch Doncaster every week and it was a pity Stanley got sucked into playing their type of game.
But good effort to hang onto three points against a physical side (thought some of their players must be ex Rugby League) and a very inconsistent ref.
Maybe refs like giving Stanley a hard time at home because bigger crowds at other clubs wouldn’t let them get away with it so lightly?

well i saw the game completly the opposite. he had the choice of running the game as he saw fit or pull up both sides for all the pulling and pushing. infact if he had taken that stance rovers would have had a snonewall penalty for nottinghams pull back in the first half. players were not exactly diving in with reckless tackles therefore the injury to players never came into it. actually enjoyed the game as it was much better than a stop start game littered with free kicks for both sides and knowing some officials that stanley have had in the past you know which way these free kicks would have been given. would the game have been different if he had stamped out the physical stuff early on. i doubt it. you may say he got away with it. well it was a gamble, but with the players on the pitch last night i thought it was one worth taking. my only gripe was the regular one of throw ins not being taken more or less where the ball went out of play. good luck mr.oldham. rather see you than some fussy whistle blower.

One thing that was noticeable in the game last night which lacked quality was what Harry Pell brings to the side from the kick off he made his big frame noticeable barging into Galbraith and letting him know he was in for a physical battle, cost him a yellow later on, but he has give us something we have lacked recently a presence in the middle who won't be pushed around. Again the lads who have been under the weather with the bug in the camp began to tire Pritchard one of them, but keep Joe fit he,s one of the best in the league as long as he doesn't leave in the window.
that really annoys me=we have players at the moment not 100% fit due to illness, and our manager does NOT take them off after an hour or more he does what he always does and leaves sub until the last min, how anyone can say that is good is beyond me,the second half was like sat its pathetic to me.
