From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Amadou Mbengue keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Doncaster Rovers may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Stuart Moore 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 The request is on a desk at Doncaster Rovers, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

Doncaster Rovers end the wait against Peterborough United

It had gone 10 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Player ratings

Vintage Dan Potts — 7.99

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.99, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad

Amadou Mbengue 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.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Doncaster Rovers

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

Words at Doncaster Rovers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dan Potts 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Datro Fofana

Doncaster Rovers asked and Chelsea said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

A bad afternoon for Doncaster Rovers against Shrewsbury Town

0‑2 to Shrewsbury Town, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

In brief
