Top of the Table v Expected Champions ( Donny v Cheltenham)

[DearneValleyRover]

The last time we played Cheltenham when going for promotion was the last game of the 2008 season, I remember being in the crowd expectant of the promotion party that would follow the game except we lost sending us to the play-offs. Rather than having an irrational dislike of Cheltenham for that result I really have to thank them due to me seeing my team play at Wembley (something I never thought would happen) and outplaying as well as beating dirty Leeds. Back to the present and once again we chase promotion but are making hard work of it lately, we play Cheltenham whose keeper is going for a 5th clean sheet in a row (a club record apparently) at a time when we have gone goal shy. Hopefully Cheltenham will be too busy thinking of the hoards of Irish punters descending on them next week for the festival to turn up in Yorkshire.

I remember that day! I was there too, a bad memory but as we all know what happened after was amazing!

We're still unbeaten at home. I'm going for a 2-1 win!

I remember that game vividly. I'd turned up, expecting us to be relegated. We scored early which gave us something to defend. Shane Higgs then had the game of his life. Naturally he couldn't keep a clean sheet and we looked in trouble again.

I still see Shane Duff's shot going across the goal, and Paul Connor sticking a leg out to get our winner so late on. Probably the most epic celebration behind the goal followed. Fantastic day.

Love this video:

As for tomorrow - Donny are by some distance the best team I've seen at Whaddon Road. I wouldn't mind seeing our clean sheet record (in the Football League) go tomorrow, so if they wouldn't mind scoring until after the 50th minute, that'll be great. We'll lose, 2-0.

Took an over 2.5 goals here. Doncaster 4 points clear at the top of League 2 & top scorers in the league, Cheltenham 3 wins and a draw from their last four games so hopefully both teams have their shooting boots on.
