Just as Troy's injury time brace had put a smile on my face that late Burton winner wiped it off. The fat lady is doing her vocal warm ups vis-a-vis the auto spots but lets dish out a long overdue 5-0 spanking on Monday to keep the fat cow quiet for a couple more days at least!

Burton have had some luck over the last couple of games, but you earn it over the course of the season. There is still a glimmer of hope and we simply have to go for it on Monday. The thrashing at Bradford combined with Burton's big win at Colchester last week has probably done for us.

BBC Final Score are right up Burtons arse!

Seem to think Burton have got promoted already, presenter basically congratulating them!
We get a decent win on Monday and they've still got to get a point against a desperate Doncaster on the last day.

Burton's 92nd minute goal was their only chance in the half and was apparently a howler by the goalkeeper.
Sums them up really.

The problem is that by next Saturday Doncaster Rovers won't be desperate....with things as they are they're down, because even if they win next week against Burton Albion their goal difference won't get anywhere near Fleetwood's.

Edit - Meanwhile, Colchester United get a last gasp equaliser at Barnsley !! (which means that Gillingham are still in with a shout of the play-offs)

Doncaster are relegated now, no chance they're getting anything off Burton.

I didn't see that result coming. Perhaps Doncaster can do to Burton what Crewe did to them today. I really can't see it somehow, but it's the only straw left:|

I'm on holiday too for the first play off, which will be at Barnsley won't it?
Lets hope that we don't repeat last seasons howler up there (was last season wasn't it? tried to wipe it from the memory, a bit like bradfut last week).
Truly awful day, 92nd bloomin minute!! And what happened to Doncaster? Thought they were on a great run?
Now next week they will only be playing for pride, not enough to beat Burton I'm afraid, they'm just too lucky.
As others have mooted....Fudge!

We need to beat fleetwood 2 - 0
Then beat port vale 2-0
Hope Doncaster beat burton 1-0

What are the chances ? Crewe hadn't won for 10 games before today so anything could happen

Even if we go to playoffs anything could happen

Remember beating Bristol city 3-1 away then losing 2-0 at home and then winning 2days later

Then at Cardiff 2-1 down in extra time won 3-2

On the other hand remember the playoffs ar Crewe we had beat them away just before the playoffs and we're confident but got thumped 5

Anything could happen

It's over, you're asking for Doncaster to raise themselves and not just draw but beat Burton and maybe by a couple of goals. When they're already down with all that emotional baggage.

In amongst the doom, wouldn't it be nice to see the son of the "great man" get sacked for his "achievement" in relegating Doncaster :lol:

Agreed, but on the other hand Crewe Alexandra were down and out this morning (as were Bolton Wanderers), but sometimes that situation results in the pressure being off (said he, clutching at straws!!).
