Absolutely second best so far. Surprised at Doncaster, they look a decent side. Will be interesting to see if they can keep up the high pressing in the second half. Stendel has to change summat for us...
Not sure I agree with 2nd best.. Doncaster look lively on the break but they are having to put a lot of running in doubling up on players and closing down. I hope the Reds fitness levels come into play towards the end as we seem to work the ball better and look to have expended a bit less energy in that 1st half. Good end to end stuff though- just no final end product so far. just my view of it wtching on iFollow. Those attending may have a different view.
Donny are pretty quick but their through balls have not been great. Marquis caught offside maybe five times. Can’t rely on that though can we? Coppinger hit bar. We’ve not been quich enough releasing the final ball. Second half will be better and I would get Woodrow on soonest
Again, we are not going to 'steamroller' every side. Don't get where you think we are not at the races. DRFC are defending well, getting bodies in the way, and Coppinger , as an experience player is a threat on the break.and has gradually been eased out by some decent defending. We have played the offside trap pretty well too, something I haven't seen us do for a while.
This. 11 shots to their 3, 60% possession, 4 corners to their 0. I'm not there so can't physically see how we're playing but is it really that bad? Was always going to be tough today (not made easier by tinkering with a winning side), hopefully we'll step it up second half
Hmmm! In what way are we poor? Granted 1st 15 minutes they came out guns blazing but gradually we came more into it. last 15 we had 4 corners and had the defence all at sixes and sevens on more than one occasion. I think (hope) their high pressing will run out of steam midway through 2nd half and the game will open up.
