FT 1-0 Stevenage
A few boos, surprisingly, but it’s quickly drowned out by applause after an encouraging display.
Fair to say Doncaster looked good with the ball in spells and limited Stevenage to very little, but couldn’t break them down despite creating numerous chances.
Reaction to come.
Evans at it again
Another shout for ‘Revs’ (Alex Revell) on the touchline, who hasn’t had a moment’s peace tonight and has been on the phone to his boss every other minute.
‘Can’t he do his own job?’ asks one fan.
89 gone.
What a chance
Great play from Molyneux on the right wing, who shifts the ball onto his left foot and whips a cross into Biggins at the far post but he heads wide.
Molyneux then replaces by Max Woltman.
Evans getting agitated
‘Revs, shut it’ is the shout from above before he mutters a few swear words.
A few shouts of ‘shut up’ coming from the home end now he’s given up his cover.
Unbelievable
Jordan Roberts shoves Harrison Biggins to the ground as the ball goes out for a throw. He slides all the way onto the tarmac pitchside.
No yellow card, though. Dreadful decision from Seb Stocksbridge. Moronic, in fact.
Big chance for Maxwell
Knoyle’s is palmed clear by the Stevenage keeper and falls to Maxwell, whose effort is blocked by a diving defender. First effort on target for Rovers.
Triple sub for Stevenage
Luke Norris, Jake Taylor and Saxon Earley replace Arthur Read, Jamie Reid and Max Clark.
Another chance goes begging
Luke Molyneux and Kyle Knoyle again link up well but Knoyle’s pass into George Miller is intercepted by a defender as the striker tries to turn and shoot.
Stevenage player goes down
Big Dan Sweeney is hobbling after colliding with absolutely no-one while trying to clear a cross.
