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.

For a foul on Jake Taylor.

That could be that.

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.

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.

Jordan Roberts is off for Michael Bostwick.

Foul on the edge of his own half. Jordan Roberts the victim.
