Kieran Dowell: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Doncaster Rovers have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Matty Pearson hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Doncaster Rovers can pretend not to have heard.

The wait goes on for Doncaster Rovers
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Kieran Dowell in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Doncaster Rovers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

João Gonçalves gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Doncaster Rovers promote Timothy Atkinson from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Timothy Atkinson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
