FT 1-0 Stockport
A disappointing late defeat for Doncaster, who held their lines well for long periods but couldn’t hold out.
Did they do enough at the other end? Possibly not. Reaction to come.
GOAL Stockport
Heartbreak for Doncaster as Tanto Olaofe heads in a deep cross with about ten minutes to go. Someone let him go inside the box.
Chance for Doncaster now!
This is opening up (and getting tetchy). Joseph Olowu meets Luke Molyneux’s corner but heads straight at Ben Hinchliffe.
Another save from Jones!
Quite straightforward but Rovers got away with one there.
Paddy Madden, unmarked, is teed up on the edge of the area. He takes the shot on first time but fires straight at Jones.
Double trouble
Paddy Madden and Kyle Wootton are coming on. The latter is involved today for the first time since March.
Huge chance goes begging!
My word, he will NOT want to see that again. Odin Bailey blazes over from point-blank range after he met Tanto Olaofe’s cross in the box unmarked.
Superb run from Olaofe to make the chance from a counter-attack. The ball had been in Stockport’s box just seconds prior.
Fair play
There’s a Donny fan in the away end with his shirt off. It might be a reasonably sunny day but it is October.
Looks like he’s having a good time. Must have his beer coat on!
Another super stop!
Louis Jones is called back into again and makes a fingertip save to deny Antoni Sarcevic.
Some brilliant goalkeeping on display today. We’ve seen three saves of real quality.
