Player ratings

Nobody could get near Glenn Middleton

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

4 matches without a win for Doncaster Rovers

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Doncaster Rovers are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Rodrigo Mordomo gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Rodrigo Mordomo has just signed for Doncaster Rovers, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Tempers go at Doncaster Rovers

Luke Molyneux 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.

Squad

Words at Doncaster Rovers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hakeeb Adelakun 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.

Squad

Matty Pearson gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Still no ink between Doncaster Rovers and Luke Molyneux

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Doncaster Rovers, another week without a signature from Luke Molyneux.

Market

Nobody at Doncaster Rovers has picked up the phone to Peter Ebimobowei

12 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Match

Point won or two lost for Doncaster Rovers?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Northampton Town? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Player ratings

Francis Okoronkwo, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.70

A mark of 7.70 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Tom Nixon 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.

Squad

Peter Ebimobowei gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Peter Ebimobowei has just signed for Doncaster Rovers, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Luke Molyneux 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.

The terraces

Doncaster Rovers spend $460.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $460.0K for Peter Ebimobowei, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

The terraces

Doncaster Rovers supporters have found a favourite in Francis Okoronkwo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Francis Okoronkwo has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

No hiding place for Jamie Sterry

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jamie Sterry, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Glenn Middleton

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Honours even between Doncaster Rovers and Plymouth Argyle

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
