Good game, more than matched them, one of those days and we move on. It's going to get tougher from here on in but enjoying the ride.

This is what happens when you dont put bricks under one set of goalposts.

Can I do the "+1" for this.
It's the one thing I'd fault. The point of getting to the dead ball line is it gives you more options and the defence is facing its own goal.
Reading some comments you would think we are not having a good season. Before today we were the best team in League 1 and scoring has not been a problem. Yes Doncaster won and hats off to them but this looked more like a top team suffering a defeat. It happens even to Liverpool and Man Utd.

Just one of those days. They happen during a season. At least we saw our team on top. Last two games I watched, Grant has missed pens, so maybe I'm a bad omen! Would be interested to know if Donny's goal bobbled to beat Palmer, but shouldn't look for excuses
Still second in league with a game in hand over team above us. Bet none of us expected we'd be in this position at start of season

Just this. Everything was superb up until this point.
How many crosses were just drilled at the 6 yard box to the keeper or defender! Every corner we gained from it was even worse!
It was very frustrating that we didn't try something a bit different with our crosses. I can only recall the cross to Johnson that reached the man in open play.

I do think however, we need to work on set piece delivery, especially corners.

I think it was losing to such a non effort from the away team that hurts more. Yes we should have been better in the final third but they came here playing like a relegation side hoping for the best.

So frustrated right now.
However, we've absolutely outplayed a team considered my many to be one of the favourites for promotion, and a club who it's been mentioned that off the pitch, we'd do well to match.
Play like that again most weeks, and we'll keep racking up wins.

Again, to repeat what I have already said, we had chance after chance and two penalties. We should have won. You can't blame people for being pissed off about that.

Donny are definitely not a bogey side. They may have won the last 3 but they did not win any of the previous 7. The head to head through the years is pretty level also. They won today from a poorly hit shot and we could not capitalise on the possession we had. Results like this happen what we need to do now is learn from the game and make sure it does not happen again.
Fair enough. To be honest though there is no team in L1 who look all that consistent and likely to pull away.

I thought they played like a very well organised away team looking to frustrate the opposition and get a smash and grab win on the counter attack. Not dis-similar to how we've often played on the road

Exactly this. What it does do is put a bit of pressure on us v Gillingham especially when we use up some energy on Tuesday. I’ll keep saying it when (not if) we lose - top teams are top teams because of how they react to a defeat. This is our test.
