Doncaster game is a big one now 21:53 - Feb 23 with 3596 views | SomethingBlue | Putting aside everything else for the moment, there's a fair bit on that one. If we can get the required result it would suggest we can turn this round. Big if, but it'll soon be now-or-never territory. | |

We went unbeaten in our first 11 or 12 games under him last season. Even if we beat Donnie it'll be just another false dawn. We know he's not up to it. | |

Doncaster game is a big one now on 21:59 - Feb 23 with 3501 views | J2BLUE | Agreed. If Lambert really has got Evans' backing, and lets face it, he has now, then he could do so much good coming out and saying there's a clean slate for the squad, the media and he's sorry for being a dick. Try to create a united front for one final push. Don't get me wrong, it wouldn't all be forgiven but it would be a plaster over the wound for a few games until we're either right back in it or it's over. His post match comments will be interesting. | |

We did this last season in January as well - he lucked upon a formation and lineup that put a few sides to the sword, then he it got found out and it all fell apart again. | |

A win against Doncaster after tonight would be a huge shot in the arm for the squad especially with our track record against top 10 in this league. If you look back, we didn’t have impressive victories like that during those 11 /12 games last season it was mainly against the lesser sides. My stance on PL hasn’t changed. Just finding this whole situation bizarre. | |

We managed a 1-0 win at Fleetwood during that run, who finished top 6. Hull are about on that level to be fair. | |

It’s more the consecutive run of positive results against those better sides - Oxford, Hull and fingers crossed Doncaster on Saturday rather than the 1 isolated victory. You could see it really building belief in the players and some momentum. | |

Waterlogged pitch an hour before kick off, so whilst they will be fresher they won't have spent all week preparing and game planning for us - so whilst it helps them not as much as a free week would have done | |

Although our postponed game against Shrewsbury didn't do us much good. [Post edited 23 Feb 2021 22:18]

They probably have a semi-competent manager though. | |

The clean slate was the start of the season. We’re mid table in the third tier having just beaten a “top” side for the first time in Lambert’s reign. It’s too late. Get the fraud out ASAP. | | | |

If Lambert hadn't attacked the press and the fans and just kept quiet during the bad run rather than going full out dick it may have been recoverable. He could have just quoted a great man, who in the end didn't listen to his own advice, and just said results should do the talking and when they pick up everyone will be back on side. I refuse to believe we're on some amazing run though and are just about to break through. We've scored 4 goals this month and 4 the month prior with a total of 8 in 2 months. That's not a team going anywhere. | |

Doncaster is a must win. What they call a 6 pointer ! | | | |
Doncaster game is a big one now on 06:14 - Feb 24 with 2703 views | Churchman | Yes, if we could get a win Saturday who knows. However, there are no goals in the team and while yesterday’s result was excellent, I can’t see us finishing much higher than we are. Nice to beat one of the better teams though. I’d forgotten what that feels like. | | | |

I’ve said elsewhere but had we been on a bit of a run of form, we’d have probably scored a few last night. There was a lack of confidence in front of goal, last night was, dare I say it, a green shoot, key was that we created a few chances (not overwhelmingly by any stretch) but we were getting in the right areas and can build on that. Best thing for me was how well Bishop on Dozzell handled midfield, thought we’d be outmuscled, but they hustled intelligently rather than fought and worked so hard to be available throughout. Parrot and Bennetts look like they’ll get better too. (Both worked exceptionally and on another night may have had goals) | | | |
