Squad

Joshua Harvey damages knee ligaments — 19 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 19 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

The wait goes on for Doncaster Rovers

9 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.

Market

Glenn Middleton 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.

Player ratings

Glenn Middleton runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Ryan Ogam rejects the move

Doncaster Rovers had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Wolfsberger AC, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Tempers go at Doncaster Rovers

Owen Beck was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Doncaster Rovers come up short against Northampton Town

Northampton Town left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Words at Doncaster Rovers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Cornell 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.

Match

No time for Northampton Town to settle

The goal that put Northampton Town ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Doncaster Rovers equalised, 2 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Joshua Harvey

27 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Doncaster Rovers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

The wait goes on for Doncaster Rovers

8 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.

Transfer targets

Ryan Ogam due for a Doncaster Rovers medical

Everything agreed with Wolfsberger AC, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

An unwelcome headline for Jamie Sterry

He will be fined, he will apologise, and he will play on Saturday. The order of those three tells you everything about what a football club actually values.

Squad

Words exchanged at Doncaster Rovers

Owen Beck 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.

Player ratings

Luke Molyneux was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Words at Doncaster Rovers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Cornell 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

Köln tell Doncaster Rovers: Malek El Mala is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Plymouth Argyle take the points off Doncaster Rovers

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Joshua Harvey

35 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Doncaster Rovers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

7 matches without a win for Doncaster Rovers

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Doncaster Rovers are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

Doncaster Rovers close the window on a squad of their own making

4 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Player ratings

Glenn Middleton runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Jamie Sterry in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

Squad

Jordan Storey 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.

Squad

Lucas Barrientos arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Lucas Barrientos has, at Doncaster Rovers, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets

Utrecht tell Doncaster Rovers: Mees Eppink is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Doncaster Rovers come up short against Reading

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