Always good to watch these as a fan and without rose tinted glasses, but Tom Nixon has to win this - it’s a goal of the season contender for the EFL in my opinion. Get voting 👏 #DRFC
I think today is going to be tough for Rovers to get anything from. Not had much recovery time since that mega effort on Wednesday. Combine that with the fact our squad is threadbare and Swindon’s impressive form. Anything other than defeat is ok today. Back the boys! #DRFC
Says it all about @WhoScored who EFL use to create these teams of the week etc. mols a 6.4 ran rings round 7.5 mkyo 🥴Keane a 7.7 but olowu 6.6 😮 no words #drfc
@daveismith1988 We missed him. But he was blowing so probably couldn’t have kept him on. No adequate replacement was our downfall I guess but that’s just unfortunate with injuries
Few more takeaways from tonight - Senior looked excellent at left centre back, Maxwell superb at left wing back and it was great to see Tommy Rowe playing further forward and making an impact. Like I said the other day, 3 at the back with wing backs looks the play for us. #DRFC
To a man we were absolutely excellent tonight. Keepmoat was rocking like the old days - let’s kick on now. Tonight by the way showed how important us fans are… get down there and support the team this season. #DRFC
FELIPE MATTIONI
The ex AC Milan right back is another who never made an appearance for Everton, he mainly featured for the under 21’s after signing from Espanyol.
He made a loan move to Rovers in 2015 but only managed 5 appearances as injury cut his spell short.

PLAYED FOR BOTH. 🧵
Let’s look at some players who’ve featured for both Doncaster Rovers and Everton.
First pick is the obvious one.
IAN SNODIN.
Excellent spells at both clubs and went on to manage #DRFC. #EFC
JOHN OSTER
A Rolls Royce for Donny in midfield during Rovers’ stint as a Championship club. He made over 100 league appearances in a successful spell for #DRFC.
He signed for Everton in 1997 for £1.5m and made 40 Premier League appearances for the club. #EFC
CONOR GRANT
He didn’t make a league appearance for the Toffees but joined Rovers on loan in 2015, and then again for a second loan spell in 2017. Conor made 40 league appearances for Donny over two spells.

Glad we’ve got Faal and Ironside starting today, Sotona as well. Nixon injury is a bit of a nightmare.
Bailey could go right back but we need him in midfield, so it looks like either Maxwell or Senior out of position at RB. #DRFC
