From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Louie Moulden 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.

Player ratings

Both of them Fernando Corica's — 9.06

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.06, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

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 The request is on a desk at Doncaster Rovers, and it is not being withdrawn.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

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.

Boardroom

6 academy players handed senior numbers at Doncaster Rovers

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Lukas Nmecha 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.

Match

Brandon Hanlan’s goal not enough for Doncaster Rovers

Brandon Hanlan scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Northampton Town, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Dillon Phillips

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Doncaster Rovers

Taşkın İlter and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

In brief
