Well I enjoyed the trip last night. It took us 5 hours to get down to your place and then another 5 and a half to get back to Doncaster. The A1 was closed on the way home so most Rovers fans got stuck when a tanker and a car both overturned blocking the motorway for a good hour or so not even moving. It did lead to a fair few Rovers fans having a sing song at 130 AM on the A1 which was quite entertaining.
First half I felt you started better. I was a little worried that we didn't counteract the movement of the big coloured lad (forgot his name). That seamt to cause us problems and I felt at first you were better than us with the ball as we wasted it a little at times. A good chance each Mills for us it seems having seen it on TV, though we couldn't see it at the game. Then the great save from Sulli at the near post from Francis. In chances terms even I'd say with you edging it by using the ball better.
Second half we improved a little and got going. The passing was better, in better areas and wasn't as sloppy. We had some great chances with Price the main one and for me he should have done better. That's us though, we do miss these chances. We could have nicked a goal for me when on top but we didn't and then you came back at us, as we all thought you would. You had some chances then and looked like you could score, Barnard looking the liveliest.
You had your chances too and I was a little worried that you'd nick it at the end. In the end though I felt a draw was fair, last night as it was overall an even game.
On the ref well for me he was superb. You don't often say it but he got every decision spot on. Heffernan was silly. I've never seen him do that before and it really was strange as he's normally so calm. Had to go though and it was inexcusable. We may have nicked it late on and his sending off gave you a lift at the end where you could have got the goal you wanted.
On the atmosphere well it was a tad strange. We never stopped in the 90 minutes and for me we were superb. Having watched the video you can hear you lot going for it, but for some reason we couldn't hear it much in the stand as it seamt not to travel.
It'll be a good one next week in front of a sell out crowd and I feel we can do the business at home. We missed Wellens big time last night and he should be fit next week which is a huge boost for us really. Equally you lot could come up and get the win. I'd imagine you'll be happy for a 90 minute draw whereas we'll want to win it. It'll be interesting to see how it goes but I've got a feeling there will be a few goals in it. Should be a cracker though.
