Doncaster Rovers 2 - 2 Newcastle United - 20/07/16 FT

[Ash]

How was Armstrong?

 

Movement was brilliant and made some great runs in behind resulting in getting one-on-one with their 'keeper three times but his finishing let him down massively.

 

Someone to keep for the coming season or should he be loaned out, you think?

 

Would wait and see how the rest of pre-season pans out. He didn't look too comfortable in the #10 role and didn't seem to know where to position himself/what runs to make a lot of the time but when he got into a more advanced role he came into his own. It may be a bit of rustiness as it was his first game of pre-season but if he wants to stay with us he has to put chances like he had last night away or he'll be struggling to justify minutes on the pitch.

State of the defending for the 2nd goal man.

State of the defending for the 2nd goal man.

 

Can't understand what they were doing. Result of zonal marking or what? 2 free headers for your opponents in your box from a corner is never good news. They were both standing in yards of space, so many players could have marked/and or picked them up and didn't.

Lascelles in particular was terrible for that corner, if he stays with his man instead of going onto the post (where there is already a player) he clears that

[Ryan]

Bloody hell, both goals were absolutely dreadful for us to concede

 

Lovely turn and finish by Ayoze though (imagine it was going in anyway)
