Match Day Thread Doncaster Rovers v Hull City

Grant will be loving this.

 

You wouldn’t play them as an 11 ffs

 

There's a lot of stuff that these Doncaster players are doing that our most of our young lads haven't learned yet, it's not really a fair reflection of Hull City or their ability.

But it does highlight my point about fielding a reserve team in the lower leagues instead of the reserves league.

 

Maybe, but he's wise enough to realise they're playing a junior Hull City side.

 

Simons seems to be billed as anything other than very average don’t understand it myself.

 

That being said 4-0.

 

4-0

 

Think u miss the point. Not one of them has staked any sort of claim. Nowhere near, and disappointingly that includes Simons and Smith. Really poor.

 

I can't believe this is being judged so critically, if ever there was a game that was just about minutes its this one.

 

And the moral of the story is that Simons should never be allowed to play against Doncaster Rovers again.


Or possibly anyone.


How **** must he be?

 

I think they need more time to play the system. Maybe pitting them against a full strength men's side wasn't the way to do it.

 

Would have thought it was also just as much about seeing who might rise to the challenge and stake a claim. Imo nobody did, disappointingly

 

Will never work. The Championship would end up half full of prem teams reserves then what if one of them get promoted

 

The style of play requires trust in each other and it's difficult to build that with a fired up Donny chasing you down. Individually, supported by more senior players the transition would be a bit easier. Not saying any of them will or won't step up, just that personally I wouldn't judge it off this game.

 

They wouldn't be allowed to get promoted past a certain level. The reserves wouldn't be allowed into the National League levels in my system.

Nearly every top footballing nation allows B teams to play further down the leagues, in fact we're one of the few that don't do it.

 

It’s not about minutes even
They should have called the game off it’s ****ing pointless

 

Wouldn't it just end up as a reserves league then.
Not arguing just trying figure how it would work

 

Other nations don't have 4 full time professional divisions like we do.

 

True, but then it won't matter if the lads are playing at Northern Premier League Level. Anything is better than the system we have now.

 

Great odds were Doncaster. I’ve won’t some money at least m.
