Team News From Keepmoat Posted on: Tue 10 Mar 2009 Doncaster Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll has made three changes to the starting line-up for the visit of Queens Park Rangers to the Keepmoat Stadium this evening (Tuesday). Brian Stock misses out the clash, with John Spicer and Jason Price dropping to the bench. In their place come in Adam Lockwood, Mark Wilson and Paul Heffernan. Neil Sullivan starts in goal, protected by a back three of Sam Hird, Adam Lockwood and Matthew Mills - James Chambers and Gareth Roberts play as right and left wing backs. The wing backs will support three men in midfield, consisting of Richie Wellens - who skippers the side - Martin Woods and Mark Wilson. James Coppinger supports the returning Paul Heffernan in a two-pronged attack. Accompanying Price and Spicer on the bench are Dean Shiels, James Hayter and young forward Waide Fairhurst - who makes his first appearance in a Rovers squad this term.

Hope Sousa is still "Happy and proud of his team".

The line up tonight contained 4 players of only non league standard.Rose,Ramage,Alberti and Miller.Rose went on loan to Histon, couldn't even get in the team and was returned back to QPR. Miller has been a freebie from all the clubs he has played for. Ramage has almost universal disaproval from the fans for his performances this season. Alberti just not up to this level of football. All that money supposedly at the club and still trying to do the job on the cheap.
The manager and assistant manager havn't got a years experience between them and Flav who knows even less is calling the shots - doesn't seem like a recipe fot success to me. Also they have let the best young pro at the club go. Ainsworth wouldn't recognise a good player if he was in the same team as Kaka, Messi and Ronaldo.
But don't worry Sousa will tell you the team is getting much better - meanwhile are the season tickets going up?

I think QPR fans are crazy. For the last few years we've been back to the walls fighting relegation. This season we've been comfortable and we're definitely staying up. But so many supporters criticise the team and the players rather than support it. I was at LR on Saturday last and it was such a weird atmosphere. People shouting at Delaney because he makes a bad pass, despite the fact that he cleared a load of ball and did a lot of good as a left back. Stupid. He's a championship defender. And now we've lost 2-0 so everything is wrong. Sousa has been the umpteenth manager in a short period of time, but people expect him to wave a wand and we're winning matches left right and centre. People say that Manager should be given total say over everything. But many clubs have other systems, such as West Ham and they don't seem to do too bad. If you have a manager as proven as Ferguson you give him complete control. If you have one like Roy Keane, he's liable to buy a load of donkeys. But you're not going to get Ferguson at this level. Let Sousa learn. He's intelligent. The amount of moaning is ridiculous. No wonder QPR go through so many managers. The supporters are on their back in 2 minutes. Some people booed the team off on Saturday. That, to me, was shameful after a respectable enough performance. Also, the days of unearthing a Stan Bowles are gone. We're a championship side and have championship players. There are far better scouting networks and incentives these days to attract these types of players to the Prem at the expense of the lower league teams. Hopefully this will change back again at some stage in the future.
The season ticket situation stinks. I don't disagree with that. But don't take it out on the team and the Manager. It's self defeating.
Sorry to be so blunt.

Who will we beat to stay up. The team is in lose mode. They start to believe they wont win. They stil could be relegated. When the same results keep coming in where will it stop? Ramage played tonight because of the injury to Delaney. Regardless of dreamers excellent and fervent post I dont think that too many of us exoected the year to be like this. Picked to be promoted before start, we have scored the least number of goals in the league (or almost). I dont think this is what Flavio wanted.

Think we almost all expected at least the playoffs or just falling short.

We just need Derby or Watford to go into administration before the end of the season. (Shouldn't really joke about that given our own history). The positive thing, as I see it, is that we're still creating chances. We had a few on Saturday and we had a few today. I think there's a couple more wins in us before the end of the season. It's a pity that the play-offs are gone, but I do think that with a top (for the championship) striker and some proper full backs and one or two other positions we can mount a serious challenge next season. I think Sousa does have an eye for decent players, despite recent performances. There's a lot more to come from Routledge for one. Sousa does have a lot to learn, but I think he has the cop on. Cheers, Raymond.

Nothing worse than being two or three points either side of the relegation zone all season. Even with De Canio in charge, we got a few thumpings and it was touch and go for a long while. By the way, good idea disabling the comments. Regards.
