Newport County v Doncaster Rovers
Wow. A couple of Rovers players have their heads in their hands after that and so they should. Awful.
Big response required on Tuesday.

Best chance yet for Doncaster
Tommy Rowe is teed up on the edge of the area by Deji Sotona but his strike is tipped over by Nick Townsend.
Adam Lewis booked - along with Deji Sotona
Lewis for a foul 30 yards from his own goal. Sotona for losing his cool, that’s been coming.
Chance for Newport
Palmer-Houlden fires wide from the edge of the box as Newport threaten to rub salt in the wound.
Doncaster change
Jack Senior replaces Richard Wood. Three central defenders on the pitch now with Senior at LCB, where he has previously played.
Deji and Tyler are in the wing-back slots.
Good stuff from Mo Faal
He’s been lively since his introduction and steals the ball from Shane McLoughlin on the edge of the box and finds Tyler Roberts, whose shot is blocked.
Rovers seeing a bit more of the ball in Newport’s half now but the hosts are defending comfortably.
Newport player booked
Scot Bennet is shown a yellow for bringing down Tyler Roberts with the winger getting away from him.
