Doncaster match thread.
 

Massive game need a point maybe even plan for that but please oh please a bit of pace up front Coley.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

A point is vital tonight i think?

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Should be a decent game tonight.
Donny are a good side and play a good brand of football.
The pitch is perfect.
Game on ........

It's a reference to the Luton match thread that was closed.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Ah, right! Well done moderators, in that case. It wasn't enjoyable reading

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Stats show a real tight draw and I have to agree, have a 10er on at 4.33 - https://www.betseven.net/football-be...vs-accrington/

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Smyth and Richards-Everton for Johnson and Brown. I assume Donacien is moved to right-back? Hope so. A left-back he aint!

Think we need to close this post as it is getting too outrageous!:hidewall:

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

How often have folk said Play 2 up front?

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

OMG! We've already reached the heights of mid-table obscurity.
Keep it up you boys!

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Befuddles me why Smyth didn’t start up front with Kee vs Luton, he’s always a threat going forward.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Just take another pill, you'll be alright. 45 minutes left, c'mon you Reds, lets have another.
It'll be a better day tomorrow. I think I'll get the scotch out.

We just had a penalty refused nowt new there.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Sounds like we're murdering them at the mo post stopping it been 3

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Thank god for that nearly 2-1, cant let them play

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Think stanley may be wise to put a defender on now?

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Kee’s looking tired, maybe should give Zanzala a go.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Think Acci seem to play better on good surfaces.
Against Luton,even with ten men,we still tried to play and kept our shape.
The pitch just killed us,were Luton were more “no nonsense “ style.
Just hope we don’t run out of gas and subs are used as the last game took a lot out of them.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Coleys deluded taking Smyth off, Kee’s shot. Can’t afford to let them attack cos they’re dangerous especially Wilks and Marquis.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Deluded deluded how very dare you. Smyths got a knock saving him for saturday

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

the clock's got stuck

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Said Smyth had a knock according to Radio Lancs.......

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

1-2................... Hold onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

We did it!

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

All over 3 pts

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Heart attack territory. Whew.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

WELL DONE THE LADS!!!!!!

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Great effort against all the odds,but that’s what Acci do best!!!,
Didn’t see it coming to be honest !!!

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

What a result. Played superb first half.
Dug in second half and rode our luck a bit but we deserved some.
All but secures league one football next season.
Well done to John/Jimmy/John and all the boys.
Just a shame Coley is out of his depth ��

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

90 + 3 AFC Wimbledon equalize !.. but so what ?.. dare i give a little Yippee !

Great win against a good team !... on a good pitch !

ON STANLEY !...ON TO GREATER THINGS...Against Plymouth !!

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

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

WIGAN FOR PROMOTION ! or not ?:cool:

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.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

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!!

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Cheers Jeff

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

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.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Coley pinned some of the transcripts from this forum on the dressing room wall...::


Allegedly

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

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!

Great result, I have yet to read all this thread but I am sure the ref was a complete drongo who did everything in his power to make us lose. WELL DONE STANLEY

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

...and for all those who thought i was still in bed-K/O was at 6.45 AM here and I was at work at 7. Still followed it all on phone when able.

YIPPEEE !..for The Reds !.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

YIPEEEEEEE:drunk:

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Wrong mate. The ref was actually if anything a good ally. Cant believe he only found a minimal amount of injury time at the end .......

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Imagine not liking football!!

Unbelievable away day.
Every single player showed pride,passion, belief and commitment.
Can't say a bad word about anyones performance last night.
Conneely covered every blade of grass on that pitch, did the dirty work, dug in, showed so much desire to win every ball he challenged for.
Even had a giggle when he found himself 20 yards out for the second time and had the confidence to have a go at goal, after panicking that he couldn't find a backwards or sideways pass (I joke!!)
Billy must have won 90% of balls played into him. How he shows so much control for a small lad is incredible. Dropped deep and worked tirelessly for the team.
For the opposition and the pitch, playing Smyth worked well.
Funny that when it works people are quick to jump on the 'always should play 2 up front bandwagon' ..... worked really well at home vs Fleetwood & Rochdale didn't it. (back in your box please ;) )

The scenes at the end gave me goosebumps.
Coleys passion and enthusiasm were evident, as was Jimmy's and John Doolan's.

Finally, glad to see McConville have another great game....
Not his biggest fan. Not my favourite player.
Don't like criticising other players either when their talent is evident.

However, for those select few.....

McConville. 11 Goals 7 Assists.
Clark. 6 Goals 6 Assists.

McConville has played nearly 3 hours less football than Clark.
Not League 1 standard anyone??!!?!

And for the record, I think Clark has the technique and ability to play Championship football.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Good solid performance. First half we exceeded expectations and Donny were awful.
Donny had their golden 15 mins start of second half and then after that we managed the game really well.
First for me last night. Yellow card rescinded a minute after given.
Didn't realise what had gone off - I was sat in the stand opposite - until after the game.
McCann up to his tricks causing problems ......

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

the iFollow commentators were expecting 6-7 mins injury time. I must admit I expected a lot more than two!

There was a goal, and one booking, and a delay whilst the ref had to quell some argy bargy in the goal mouth. We were wasting time a lot, but on reflection that might just have been deemed to be on the right side of the law. eg, Maxted walking slowly to the other corner of the box to take goal kicks.

to his credit the ref booked Donacien fot time wasting in the first half and then rescinded it after much protesting from stanley players and management.

the ifollow commentators were fairly honest with their views. I don't remember them complaining about the ref either.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

You have realised that Sean has exclusivity on every set piece ?
Do you not see how that can produce better stats ?
And that's what it is. Stats for stats sake.
Fail to see the relevance of comparing him to Clark. What about Finlay for instance ?
Sean played great last night but have to say he missed a sitter in between goals.
Time to enjoy the moment.
Have to mention Janoi as well.
So much more comfortable on the right.
Glimpses of his old self.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Considering he takes all the free kicks and corners nearly, i assist more than clark aint stupendous is it? the goals are a different matter, he will probably always score more than clark, hes a better finisher,

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Kee had a great game. Best of the season I would say.

McConville is just a class player. As a fan of only 4 seasons I'm baffled there is any debate ALTHOUGH I do recall that at first I was pleased when he was dropped for Fosu.
I'm also not aware that any Accy fans don't like him. I never hear anything bad on the terraces and on this forum all you get is some accusations that some fans are McConville haters.

Cashy, for example, gets flack for hating McConville, but apart from an occasional grumble, if he does it's been well disguised whilst I've been on here.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Clark 42 games 9 goals 4 assists
Finlay 37 games 5 goals 4 assists

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

I think they’re both excellent players. Sean obviously can’t do no right for some people and thats fair enough, they’re entitled to their opinion. However I think he’s had a pretty solid season. He’s someone who can be relied upon.
Clark has also been pretty solid and chipped in with a few good goals.
Think everyone has been through the poor 3 month spell and it would be easy to pick on ANY player and say how bad they’ve been for that spell.
Anyway, good performance last night from both.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Doesn't Clark have the benefit of having Callum Johnson alongside him?

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Think we have only scored 1 or 2 from a set piece anyway haha ;)
Stats don't tell the full story, I'm aware of that.
Was more of a comparison to make the Sean doubters aware, so to speak.
And believe me, I've heard alot of negative comments about him (games and forum)

Oh, and it's more relevant to compare a winger to another winger rather than a CM?

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Do you honestly think hes the best person to take ALL the set pieces?

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Nope.
Never implied I did?

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Never said that, just asked a question, i think we may do better if set pieces were varied meself.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

[QUOTE=StanleyJosh;1227613]Think we have only scored 1 or 2 from a set piece anyway haha ;)

Does that tell a story ?

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

"to his credit the ref booked Donacien fot time wasting in the first half and then rescinded it after much protesting from stanley players and management"

Janoi was asked by the Donny players to wait before taking the throw in because one of their lads appeared to have a cut.
He did so ....... then their gaffer gets at the referee to book him for time wasting !

At least the ref realised what had gone on.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

So much for him "Not using social media/ internet" ..:lamer:

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

[QUOTE=Twenty Eight;1227617]
100%. One thing I have noticed from us this season is a lack of a set piece 'routine'
Appreciate different standard, but look at the success England had from corners at the World Cup. Every corner was a different set up.

Seen some really, really well worked Free Kick's this season from opposition too.

Surely the lads could spend 30 mins after training devising some of these, instead of the usual scenarios.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

Surprised Barlaser doesn't take more free kicks.
Also, as much as I love him, Ross should never take a free kick in our defensive half ever again.

Re: Doncaster match thread.
 

5 OUTSTANDING players last season, and theyve had grief on here this season ... McConville, Clark, Hughes, Donacien and Kee. They arent bad players overnight. Weve tinkered, terrible pitch half the season (the bad form half), and we've stepped up massively. Half the league will have narrowly avoided relegation by only a point or two more than us - thats because the top 5 have been pretty awesome this season.

All in all Im happy this season
