    43' How's that not gone in!? Purrington can't hit the target at the back post, before Lee tries to turn it in, a goalmouth scramble ensues, before the ref blows for an eventual foul. #cafc 2 #drfc 0

    I'm sorry, but how was Dobson not even making the bench under Adkins? He looks mustard
    Was also being held up as the proof our recruitment system is no good. Clearly he's a bloody good player!

    1. 45'+2'

      Post update

      Attempt missed. Ben Purrington (Charlton Athletic) header from the centre of the box is too high. Assisted by Chris Gunter with a cross.

    Feel sorry for the rovers fans if this is what they have to watch every week. At least when we were shit we had some players with quality. 
    I don't. It'll make my night shift all the more pleasurable with a Rovers fan, not 10 feet away in the office. Oh and 300,000 Donny residents to work on (most are Leeds of course). COYR.

    This game should be all over as a contest by now (it may already be but a two-goal lead doesn't seem enough).

    This has been as good a performance as I've seen from us for a very long time.

    Dobson is best on ground by the length of Hangar Straight. He's a human hoover, clearing up any Donny attacking moves, and then has the vision and skill to set our next attack in motion. His pass to Gilbey for the penalty was superb.

    I guess the last week and today have shown that maybe Jacko wasn't part of the problem and we're right to keep him on.

    We’re overloading them in the box and still harassing and pressurising them in midfield. They’re hardly in our box. What a difference from early in the season.

    Excellent half. So nearly 3 there.

    JJ and Euell so active. Just before ht forced Pearce not to drop deep as just invite pressure. He moved up and apologised. 

    Few more things clicking.

    Game’s won. 3 points in the bag. Might as well pack up now.

    Maybe just maybe Roddy and black box aren’t as dreadful as many believed.

    Never got a chance when we got the better players in/ fit. Stupid really.

    Purrington again missing a sitter. 
    Probably why he's not a striker.

    Lee could be more clinical with execution of FKs and shooting inside box. Boys need to stay hungry for goals.

    Earlier in the season it always felt like we were playing with a man short. Now it feels like we’re playing with an extra man.

    This is what I expected today. Comfortable win with a good performance to go with it. It’s like we signed 11 new players and even Leko going off didn’t really make a difference. 

    Season started against Sunderland.

    Doncaster are awful! 3 points here surely. 

    Huge praise to young Dobson. He's everywhere and winning absolutely everything.

    Hopefully a couple more goals o come next half.

    Jacko appears to have put his arm around Dobson, brought him in from the cold, told him to make the shirt his, which he did last week and is repaying his new gaffer in spades. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s one of the first names on the team sheet from now on.

    Jacko may be in the technical area but the players have taken his spirit and belief onto the pitch with them.

    Call out for Washington as well... he's raised the energy level,and his ball for the Stockley/Purrington/Lee triple cock-up was great. Also only denied a 2nd by quality save.

     I'm sure I'm not the only one having to pinch themselves after such a good first half...

    The only down side from that half was the injury to Leko, leading to his subbing.

    Hopefully it's nothing serious.
