Made several smart saves to keep Mansfield at bay but might have held an effort on the hour mark which almost led to a goal on the rebound. Didn't seem to have much of a chance with either goal.

Scored a stunning goal to open the scoring on his Doncaster debut. Impressed in his defensive duties, too.

Started well before having to come off following a collision with Owen Bailey. Got hurt putting his body on the line, can't ask for more than that.
