Kopparberg Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Struggling League One side Doncaster Rovers have sacked boss Richie Wellens after six months in charge. The 41-year-old took over in May but won just three of his 19 league games and leaves with the club 23rd in the table and six points adrift of safety. His last game in charge was Wednesday's EFL Trophy defeat by Crewe. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59509270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkfieldowl14 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 And there’s us thinking that Donny Rovers were going to be the new Powerhouse of Yorkshire Football. Not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Think they’re probably going down whoever is in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 What's gone wrong at Donny? They were in the top six with a couple of months left to go last season under Moore; now they're 23rd and six points from safety. That's a pretty drastic decline.

It must have had an impact last season, though. They were consistently in the playoff sports under him, then collapsed to 14th after he left. That's quite a notable decline. I'm not sure what's gone on since, but they've been dreadful this season. I know Moore brought a lot of loan signings to the club last year. Were they dependent on that to keep them fighting at the top of the table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 They sold their best player Whiteman to Preston in January and the decline has happened since then really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 They’re short in a few positions with no money to bring players in too from the bite I’ve heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 A stark warning what will happen to us if we get rid of Moore. Another good reason to extend his contract. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before selling Whiteman, they averaged 1.83 ppg. After selling Whiteman but before Moore left, they averaged 1.6 ppg. After Moore left, they averaged 0.88 ppg. One seems to have had a bigger impact than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decline started before Moore left, didn't the lose 6 in a row, or least not win in six, just before he left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Doncaster still staring right down the barrel after today’s result. I think Moore obviously overachieved during his time there but I’m sure his many fans on here will disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
