Ah so no hat trick for Ruffs then? ?

complete his 'hat trick' of late smash n grabs though

 

[beyondthefourth]

Nico Jones is due to start according to KR.
Nelson or Dickie on the bench?

Cheers for correcting me. I should get on iFollow now before I make any more predictions!

2-0 walk in the park on a blustery day piglet......

 

[gingerox]

Stevens
Long Nelson Jones Ruffels
Hanson
Whyte Brannagan Sykes Garbutt
Mackie

2-1, Whyte + Sykes.

 

[chuckbert]

I’m just picturing whyte and Sykes running at them all game. 5-2 (whyte, Sykes, whyte, Sykes, ruffels) the obligatory red card will go to Mackie.

 

[beyondthefourth]

Stevens
Long Nelson Jones Ruffels
Hanson
Whyte Brannagan Sykes Garbutt
Mackie

2-1, Whyte + Sykes.

KR already confirmed Eastwood is back in the starting lineup.

 

[Berliner]

A draw to make it P45, W15, D15, L15...
Nelson with our goal. Erick then comes on at half time with a large bag of cash, contract and a pen, and Nelson faints, before getting up, scoring an own goal and getting sent off. Kashi sneaks on at the end yet still manages to also get sent off.

Sounds like its Dickie on the bench.

 

[dabigfella]

Sounds like its Dickie on the bench.

Or maybe Nelson dropped and Dickie plays right side?

Or maybe Nelson dropped and Dickie plays right side?

Going of yesterdays preview with Robinson saying Nico probably will start although Dickie is fit. Be harsh on Nelson to drop him now after playing every other game.

Ticket sales don't look brilliant, with a good recent entertaining winning run I was hoping for an 8,000 crowd, but it doesn't look like it.
Although the corner blocks 1, 8 and 22 have been blocked out on the Online Ticket system, I assume these are giveaways of some kind, so doesn't really count.
According to DRFC website they were sent 806 tickets and they can pay on day. Poor showing for a team going for playoff place.
However, despite low numbers from Donny and no record of any trouble between the two clubs, the matchday guide says the RES gate behind the North Stand will be in operation again tomorrow. This is just lazy stewarding/policing. The one good thing about the Kassam Stadium is you can walk all round it in either direction which enables quick exit from the ground, but not now, this RES gate seems a permanent, and totally unnecessary feature.

Bought my ticket earlier and only just realised you got money off for being a member! First time I’ve been asked but my own fault for not reading the details when I joined. Anyway looking forward to it first since Wycombe game hope it’s going to be like recent matches - 2-1 to us snatching the winner late on.

 

[werthersoriginal]

For the first time this season I don’t mind what the score is! Hope for a good game and performance with a few goals. Rah rah!

 

[tonto]

Wow its so refreshing approaching saturday with a keen sense of anticipation and absolutely no fear!

The RES gate might be up because of the amount of Donny fans coming down?

Donny striker John Marquis in L1 team of the year.

A quick read on the Doncaster forum and plenty of them are saying Marquis has not been good at all in the second half of the season, and don't even want him in their starting 11.

Since Nelson will probably not be here next season it might be a chance to try other combinations.
