Market

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 The request is on a desk at Doncaster Rovers, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Doncaster Rovers

Thimothée Lo-Tutala 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

Owen Bailey 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.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Glenn Middleton

A mark of 7.69, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Match

Doncaster Rovers and Reading take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Glenn Middleton is off the mark for Doncaster Rovers

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Luke Molyneux

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

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.

Squad

No hiding place for Owen Bailey

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

Match

Stevenage take the points off Doncaster Rovers

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Renan Oliveira 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.

Boardroom

No investment in the facilities at Doncaster Rovers

Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.

Market

Renan Oliveira brings the grey hairs Doncaster Rovers lacked

At 36, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Squad

Renan Oliveira still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Doncaster Rovers would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Market

Liam Grimshaw joins Doncaster Rovers on a free

No fee and no drama: Liam Grimshaw has signed at Doncaster Rovers, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.
