Wednesday Won by ‘Bullying’

Doncaster manager Dave Penney has had a go at his players for allowing themselves to be physically bullied in the 2-0 loss to the Owls.

Doncaster lost for the second time this season to their Yorkshire rivals, Sheffield Wednesday. Lee Bullen and young substitute Drew Talbot ensured Doncaster went back to Belle Vue with nothing to show for their efforts.

 

Penney said:

 

"We did well in the first half but they bullied us in the second half. We didn't have enough physical presence.”

"In the first half we got it down and passed it and we got in behind them, but we didn't really create much. It was disappointing to concede right on half-time. If we'd have gone in at 0-0 we'd have kept the crowd quiet.”

 

Lewis Guy came on in the second half, making his debut for the club, and Penney feels Guy was unlucky not to score an equaliser that could have changed the entire course of the game.

 

Penney added:

 

"Lewis Guy was unlucky with his effort. The keeper made a good save,"
