This is not enjoyable to watch. Chimbonda has acres of space on the right and he crosses low for Diouf. He shoots first-time but Green makes a fantastic save. Diouf's corner is high and Green makes the catch.

Really really disappointed with this result , played them off the park in the 1st half and then went to sleep in the 2nd , just dont get it . Seemed like Fatfucksam was happy with a draw taking off a midfield player for a defender . Joint 2nd with Reading beating them on goal dif . What a bloody joke . How can you defend this result , two home draws in the space of a few day against shit clubs , now for Lids away . O my god , we are doomed . Still be a nice day out at Wemberly , aint been to the new gaff

Just got back however found every dick head driver on the way home.
Very frustrated and have decided I won't be going to the next home game.
Must be a way I can get my money back because I paid to see football not this shit serve up in the later first half and the second half.
I think you all now need to realise this lot are not going up.

Utter, utter clueless garbage. Once Vaz Te went off injured we had absolutely NO creativity on the pitch whatsoever. No pace, no guile, no shots, no clue
Play-offs for us I am afraid

Don't know Arran, I had already gone before the end.
Should have been 4 up after 8 minutes and afte Vas Te went off we just started to give the ball away.
Doncaster started to gain in confidence and realised they could pass the ball about and started to catch us out at the back. You could see their goal coming 10 minutes before they scored. Only Green had a good game for us. I cannot remember their keeper making a save in the secone half.
Can't put my finger on why so many of our players are so poor.
Still pissed off about this.

It's not over yet. We can come back. Believe in the fat one!
Please tell all you know to stop booing our own players and staff. It is only making them play worse (if possible).

Not sure why it was Nolan and not the (yet again) inffective Collison dude? He brought Collins on at left back so that he could move Taylor to left midfield....and we went 4-4-2

Big Sam after the game
Sam: Dean Saunders described the first fifteen minutes as a battering. What happened for the last hour (or so)?
Well, we didn't finish the opposition off when we had the opportunity - via maybe a refereeing decision or two.
Vaz Te's goal in the first few seconds, I didn't think that was a foul. A penalty on the hand ball; Carlton Cole hit the bar; Nobby Nolan scores. And then the big turning point for me was Vaz Te going off injured, that stopped our biggest and most dangerous threat against the opposition and we lost our fluency going forward in terms of attacking.
Finally, I wouldn't say it was a struggle but we weren't as good as we should have been and I think in the end, like always, you could always slip [up] and if you slip [up] they might score. At 1-0 I'd have liked the players to have seen it out, but they didn't.
We made our substitutions when we felt it was the right time and then got the golden chance to win the game right at the very end - and missed it.
It's not the end of the world. It's disappointing because it's happened three times now - I don't count the draw against Southampton because that was like a win with ten men after 15/20 minutes, that almost felt like a win on the night, a fantastic performance. I didn't expect it, but it's here.
If we had won two out of three at home and we drew three away we wouldn't be moaning. But because we've won two away and drawn today at home, we are moaning. It's always in reverse of what you want - I'd much prefer to win two and draw one at home and draw three away - but we haven't, we've done it in reverse!
So we're disappointed but we've got to stay patient, keep our nerve and not get too anxious or panic. That then will hopefully get us over this little blip we've had and [we can] move forward and get a victory next time out at Upton Park.
You mentioned substitutions there; you took Nolan off, was that a tactical switch?
Tactical and [because he was] tired. He played at Cardiff and then again on Wednesday. Those who played the whole game on Wednesday - because you've got to remember that Doncaster played [on] Tuesday night, not Wednesday - we wanted fresher legs on, if you like.
And then we changed of system because we wanted to try and win the game. We wanted to put the two up top and Jack hadn't played on Wednesday. It gave us the opportunity to win it when we changed it, but we didn't win it with Jack's chance. But there we go.
[El Hadji] Diouf's a player you know very well, he caused you a few problems today, didn't he?
He's a Premier League player, you know. You've got a Premier League player playing in the Championship via his unfortunate reputation. That's why he's playing at Doncaster and not in the Premier League because of his reputation - not his footballing ability - his reputation isn't allowing him to play there.
What was the matter with Vaz Te?
Hamstring.

Sam says
West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce insists the turning point in their disappointing draw with Doncaster Rovers was the injury to Ricardo Vaz Te.
The Hammers led after an early Kevin Nolan goal and were well on top but Vaz Te went off with a hamstring injury during the first half. Doncaster fought back as the Irons drew their fourth consecutive home game.
Allardyce said: "The big changing point for me was Vaz Te went off injured and that stopped our biggest and most dangerous threat against the opposition.
"We lost our fluency going forward in terms of attacking and found it, I wouldn't say a struggle, but not as good as we should have been. In the end you can always give the opposition a slip and if you slip and they might score.
"I would have liked the players to have seen it out but they didn't."
So we have to rely on one player now with the name of Vaz Te , a one man army so to speak , what about the other ten and I thought we played better with ten men

It would appear that Vaz Te is the only one that looks like creating anything or scoring Tony, the only one that will have a go from distance and only miss by inches.
He's been playing for us just 5 weeks and has already had the ball in the net 3 times (ok, one was disallowed, but that was debatable)
I hope he is back soon.....He could just be our saviour
