League one games tonight.

Forums New posts
Doncaster holding Bradford 0-0 so far, should they win tonight they will be just 1 point behind us with a far better goal difference.
 
2-0 now to the Donnies, with 2 minutes left of stoppage time.

Bradford still looking for their first win since News Year day. What an implosion, they looked almost dead certs for a play off place at the beginning of the year.

Since New Years Day, they have managed to collect just 2 points from a possible 30!!

Edit: FT
 
I know a Bradford fan at work, he is very tempted to put money on them being relegated next year, they've completely lost the plot.
 
John Marquis is precisely the sort of striker we need to go for in the summer. Mobile, constantly chasing the ball, good in the air and a decent shot.

So what, we are 13th and they are 14th. Both sides will finish mid-table. Only remaining panic is for those players looking for a contract next season. I would guess by 41 or 42 games max it will be mathematically impossible to go down. So relax.

Yeah have to agree, obviously hindsight is a beautiful thing, but looking back, can't help but think we missed a trick on that one.
A London born player, that has played for southern based clubs (Millwall, Gillingham, Orient, Portsmouth, Torquay and Northampton). & still only 25 years old. Not to mention the 26 goals he scored last season.

Rest assured Stuart. I'm not panicking. We have enough in the tank to see us to safety.

Just a shame we got off to such a poor start!

To be fair, we didn't really get off to such a poor start.
Since our opening game of the season in the summer with our home win against Blackburn on August 5th, we only lost 3 league games up until the early October.

Where we let ourselves down IMO was that bad period, where we lost 7 matches out of 8 matches between early December & mid January.
 
Couple of games tonight :-

Northampton v Shrewsbury
Rochdale v Fleetwood

One tomorrow :-

Walsall v Wigan

Yes—we should have taken note of him when he got the winner against us for lowly Torquay.Mind you we were probably distracted as Bentley was having one of his panic-attack afternoons,on a dodgy playing surface.
 
So we want Shrewsbury to beat Northampton, Rochdale to beat Fleetwood and Wigan to beat Walsall. Simples.

Missed the boat. If he's going anywhere it's the Championship. Leaving Doncaster for us would be a sideways move.

Who says he is good enough for the Championship? -Very few League 1 players are these days. He's a Londoner from Lewisham so a move to us would be a move back down South.

To be fair he said sort of player we want, not the actual player.

The time to have signed him would have been 2016. Donny signed him as a 24yo then on a free transfer when they were in L2.

Hopefully we can snap up the next Marquis this summer.
 
Northampton take a surprise lead over Shrewsbury on the strike of half time.
