    Hard to see us scoring enough to get through the play off games and go up. Thanks Roland.

    Was happy to take a draw before the game. But not so sure now we know top 4 and 7th all won (more concern that some of them know how to win comfortably which is something we can’t seem to do).

    Followed game from the office again, so thanks to @ross1

    No booking for Taylor

    I thought the sub immediately after we scored was a terrible call. Too negative. We play some good football when we have the ball but lose out on too many 50/50s. Draw was a fair result but thankful that late goal was not allowed although not sure why!

    Good game....played some good stuff.
    Have to say it was probably a fair result in the end, although we played the better stuff.

    I’d say 1-1 away from home against a top 6 side isn’t much worse than what we’d have done with Grant.

    Taylor hasn’t become a bad finisher over night, he’s just in a bad run of form. I still fancy us.

    We'll make the playoffs but have no chance of top two. We just don't score enough.

    Well, it's getting like the end of last season, some nice football, but we've forgotten how to score. Will make the play offs, but won't be good enough to go up, without the additional of another striker and we all know it ain't gonna happen.

    Taylor doesn't look like scoring anytime soon, which is scary because neither does anyone else

    Both teams had chances, admittedly they had more than us, but we were too slow in the final third. Draw probably a fair result

    Can only presume Igor was struggling and it made sense to bring on fresh pair of legs?

    He's too meh! though; you take away the battling Taylor and your left with a less than average Magennis

    Can we hold to the 5-point lead for the 6th spot with 11 left?

    Playoffs look a reasonable shout but we must start scoring goals. Good result at Doncaster. Taylor playing within himself to avoid another yellow before they get wiped out?

    We get into some great positions, but are just not clinical enough.

    Might just be that he has lost his edge whilst trying to avoid the booking

    Wait till we pass the 37 game mark and he isnt 1 booking away from a suspension and Lyle will be back

    Would be pretty poor if we can't make playoffs from this position.

    Was a fair result but could have been so much different based on the first 10-mins...

    Its been the story of our season and see us potentially copying what Bradford did a few years ago when they reached the Play-Off Final yet fell short because their team didnt have enough goals in them - Doncaster fully deserved the point and would love to see when the Linesman raised his flag at the end there as watching back I couldnt see where the "goalscorer" was offside, either he came back from an offside position or the Official felt that there was a team mate obstructing Dillon's view.

    Thankfully though; Dillon's record of only conceding a maximum of one goal this season remains and fully deserved the Man of the Match award in my eyes for his two saves in the last ten mins

    Going forward we're typical of so many teams we've seen down the Valley in the past (QPR with Jackson's last minute winner being an example) - We look lovely when we're in possession can pass the ball really nicely yet when it comes to the crunch we've got nothing to prove for it - For that reason I think (Roland no doubt has a relieved expression on his face reading this) we'll fall short in the Semi-Finals again, of course the Play-Offs are a different beast to the regular season and whilst I think that todays performance showed that the teams below us probably dont have the ability to catch us, I dont see us able to do enough to get through them

    Glad we got a point. I think we'll finish in the play offs, over two legs this year I actually fancy us as long as key players are fit.

    I think we are too good not to make the play offs from here. We just have to keep our best players fit and keep the confidence up as we know a few injuries and we are vulnerable. Doncaster is not an easy place to go to so a draw is ok although disapointing their equaliser happened so soon after our opener.

    Did we win? (Started reading @Grapevine49's latest opus at quarter three and I have missed the whole game).

    He'll still only be six bookings away from a ban though?  (Applicable in the Premier League so presume it counts for the Football League too)

    that'll earn him a three match ban and could see him missing the whole of the Play-Offs

    A good point i think. Follow it up with a win over pompey and we are still in a good position

    Not a bad result but the lack of goals is a worry.

    At least Reeco and Parker scored for the stiffs.

    Did Igor "kick on"?
