Market

Nathan Fraser is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Doncaster Rovers is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout

Elías Brítez says Doncaster Rovers went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets

No deal for Marcus Bettinelli at that price

Doncaster Rovers offered $11.0K; Stockport County said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets

The window shuts on the Ceiran Loney deal

Doncaster Rovers ran out of time with Gillingham. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Squad

A row about effort at Doncaster Rovers

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Luke Molyneux was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Doncaster Rovers cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

A falling-out at Doncaster Rovers

Haraldur Ágúst Brynjarsson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Gillingham take the points off Doncaster Rovers

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Luciano González beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

In brief
