Doncaster Rovers scholar sees red as youngsters crash out of FA Cup against Lincoln City

Midfielder Wood replaced Faris Khan in the 69th minute of Doncaster’s first-round clash against Lincoln City at the LNER Stadium on Wednesday evening with score tied at 1-1.

But just 60 seconds later he was given his marching orders for a “dangerous challenge”, according to the Imps’ match report.

Rovers claimed the decision to send Wood off was “very controversial”.

Lincoln went on to win the match 3-1.

Doncaster had taken the lead early in the first half thanks to striker Jack Goodman’s volley.

Tayo Tucker equalised for the home side on the stroke of half-time before they went ahead in the 76th minute through Nathan Kabeya.

Julian Donnery wrapped up the win in stoppage time.

Rovers’ new head coach Danny Schofield is being aided by under-18s boss Chad Gribble and coach Paul Green while an assistant is recruited.
