Match Thread Doncaster Rovers vs Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Jacob]

Gana shaded my MOTM because he actually provided some control in the midfield when he was introduced. Beto a close second.

Thought he was great when he came on even though we were chasing the game. I haven't been that impressed with him since he came back and thought he always looked knackered. Proved me wrong tonight.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Only saw shady YouTube footage but their goal looked offside. Was it close?

 

[PeregrineT]

Well not good, but 2 goals and a win so thats a start to build on.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Hard to argue with that mate

Beto saved his job last night...

 

[evo1878]

Will do Tom.
He's recovering slowly, it took more out of him that he expected and his doctors are limiting how much time they allow him to use his phone.
They listened to the podcast we did after his stroke and were staggered that he got through it.

Andy

If you haven't done so already, i think we'd all be ok if you passed on our best wishes and hope for a speedy recovery to Paul from everyone on GOT who has ever interacted with him. Sorry to hear this news. Pass on my personal best wishes to him when you see him please.

Why is everyone overreacting ? Chelsea who have spent 1bn over two years just beat Wimbledon at home.

….presume you didn’t watch. It’s not the result, it was the performance against one of the lowest ranked teams in the competition. Appeared a complete lack of organisation and some of the individual performances were very concerning.

No mate yard or so off

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Awful performance for the most part, but we're into the next round at least

 

[Richard Alex]

Got to say that Doncaster won’t be bottom for long. I was impressed with them in fairness.
Could be that we so bad like.
Sometimes you need to give the opposition some credit though.

 

[ramacca]

Beto certainly introduced himself last night.

I was staggered he got through it without spontaneously combusting with rage or jumping off the hospital roof.

Get well soon Paul!

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Paul @theesk had a stroke three weeks ago and despite us recording one episode since, he's under strict medical orders to refrain from anything stressful for at least another week,

Best wishes to @The Esk

Get well soon fella.

I don't think it's all an overreaction. We're plumb bottom of the league, played atrocious in the first half and until 73 minutes yesterday hadn't scored a goal.

I am usually an optimistic person and give the benefit of the doubt; I even thought we played relatively well against Fulham and Wolves - the better team.

Yes some people will always go over the top, however I do feel the individual performances last night from a few, who sadly we'll rely on, ...

alongside the dire tactics we played suggest this isn't going to be a pretty season. Dyche needs to start finding a tune from these players as soon as possible.

Doncaster are the worst team in the entire football league, but they were better than us for large swathes of that match. All combined, that's not good enough!

 

[jazzy]

I genuinely have no idea what Dyche was thinking in the first half.
Our only tactic seemed to be lumping the ball to a 19year old making his debut , against the worst team in the league.

I appreciate that we have some technically limited players but my God surely we don't have to sink to that.

I cannot see how Dyche is able to improve players or he the right manager to take us forward.
