Possibly yes, but I’ll wager he’ll struggle to match Thompson’s record over the next thirteen. I hope he does, but I don’t believe he will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwë Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Presumably we have to pay compensation to Donny, yet we spend nothing during the transfer window. We're just a bizarre club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you if he oversees us till then it'll be more matches than Pulis did. Really can't see him leaving Donny for less than an 18 month contract though. That is exactly what I'm thinking. This season and next. And he is already familiar with League one, which is useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't do anything weird like our previous managers and you'll have the fans on your side and likely do well Like dropping Hutchinson?.

Not here then. Hope he’s big enough to not take any s**t and hopefully get our squad into some kind of shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinburghowl Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Welcome Darren. I’m hoping with him being a steady defender in his playing days he will be able to sort out our defensive frailties and provide some advice in that area. His Doncaster team played good football too and his win% is impressive. Really positive appointment for me and a badly needed bit of good news for the club.

ashley8 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Under the circumstances a good sensible appointment. Can he keep us up yes I think he can but if not he's a good choice for league 1. Plays attacking football and for once we have got someone else's manager instead of picking one off the nobody wants round about. Let's hope he's a good man manager! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S25OWL Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 if we can get that win rate from the last games we might have a chance staying up - that's all we ask this season - although sod's law will swop places with Donny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as I said, not a particularly inspired choice, but with League One in my mind, think he’ll do a pretty decent job at that level. I like the way he uses the loan market, I believe Doncaster currently have 7 players on loan. With our sights, and expectations lowered, I do think he can stabilise us in that league He seems universally liked by football pundits and fans alike, and for so many reasons, it would be great to see him succeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
