Delighted with that late winner, could be a massive goal come the end of the season.
But got to be honest, we were fortunate to win that.
First half was really poor. Doncaster the better team in the first half.
Wasn't surprised there were three changes at half time, Kpakio struggled a lot at right back. Understand the calls for him to be a winger instead.
We did improve in the second half and that late goal could be massive.
Trott a big reason why we won, some brilliant saves towards the end.
But I'm happy, despite it not being a great performance, because that could be a massive win.
Guaranteed to be top at Christmas which is a great thing.

Doncaster were a lot better than I expected & were one of the better teams we've seen at our place. How are they down the bottom of the league?

Signs of a promotion winning side playing poor but finding a way to win, the never say die attitude of this squad will win us a lot of points this season even when playing poorly

I thought we should have been out of sight the handball early and a very cheap free kick where Wintle was clean through. Shocking officiating

With defending like we did today we were never going to be out of sight!
Great that we kept at it though, stuck in there and got the goal.

No excuse for that defending it was abysmal, but goals change games and we never had a chance to control the game it was end to end all afternoon.

They score the first, i don't care anymore, there are so many goals in this team!! But Christ my heart can't take too many of these.

Wasn't Salech ripped down in the box for our winner? Would of been a penalty i'd of thought at least.

You've all summed it up brilliantly boys, everything I was gonna say is already on this thread.
Very fortunate today and dare say a bit smug, cocky and complacent too at times...but scored some lovely goals in open play and we always push until the very end which is great.
Some of our play to get us out of tight spaces is an absolute joy to watch!
In the championship mind, there's no way we would have come out of that with even a point but we can worry about that another day (hopefully around May 2026)

What a game. Thought Ashford was sensational today. Take a bow lad.
We cannot be conceding goals like the first two though. Kpakio had all the time in the world to stop Hanlan for the second but barely broke a sweat trying to catch him. Unacceptable.
3 points though and 5 in a row in the league

Fair play to Doncaster best team I've seen down here this season. If they had took their chances we would've lost.
I know Bradford done us but they picked us off on the break more than try to go toe to toe like Doncaster did.
Doncaster could've easily won this game a draw was a fair result but we nicked it at the death harsh on them but not complaining.
I can't believe they're in the position they are in the league very good side.

Just got back home 8.30pm that's what you call a "WIN"
