Ollie O'Neill puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Doncaster Rovers, and it is not being withdrawn.

Union Berlin come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Doncaster Rovers did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Nobody could get near Ollie O'Neill

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

George Broadbent signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” George Broadbent and Doncaster Rovers agree another 4 years.

Joe Rankin-Costello 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.

Brandon Hanlan falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match23 Jun 2029

Doncaster Rovers come up short against Wycombe Wanderers

Wycombe Wanderers left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Liam Bell out for 20 days

The medical room confirms 20 days on the sidelines for Liam Bell, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The Leandro Soares question follows Doncaster Rovers around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Leandro Soares’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match19 May 2029

10 unbeaten for Doncaster Rovers

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation Doncaster Rovers did not have in the autumn.

Joe Rankin-Costello 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.

Words at Doncaster Rovers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Danny Imray is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match19 May 2029

Doncaster Rovers see off Leyton Orient

Three points for Doncaster Rovers, 1‑0 the final word against Leyton Orient in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Corey Blackett-Taylor in the eights

A performance of 8.17 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad21 May 2029

Doncaster Rovers lose Liam Bell

55 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Doncaster Rovers pick somebody else ahead of Hakeeb Adelakun

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market21 May 2029

The Hakeeb Adelakun story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Hakeeb Adelakun signs something — a contract at Doncaster Rovers or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Nothing got past Joe Rankin-Costello

9 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.
