Nuneaton Borough vs Doncaster Rovers LIVE
Key Events
- New Rovers striker Josh Andrews to play 45 minutes this afternoon, says Gary McSheffrey
- Several trialists also set to feature again for Doncaster
Great breakaway
It’s led by Tomlin, who isn’t the fastest but finds space and picks out Rowe, who plays in Reo Griffiths. The young striker’s effort is deflected for a corner, which is headed over by Joseph Owulu.
That’s better
Nice link-up play between Tomlin and Miller sees the latter fire a half-volley just wide.
Unfortunately the flag was also up.
Nuneaton asking questions
The home side earn the crowd’s applause after a neat one-two on the edge of the area releases an attacker, who fires straight at Mitchell.
Rovers are getting a competitive test here.
Big let off
Nuneaton miss a sitter. Ball is played back into Rovers’ box after the initial delivery evades everyone.
A low ball appears to be heading wide before a home attacker throws his leg at it, but he can’t direct the effort towards goal.
A word on Tomlin
His ability on the ball is clear for all to see. Appears to be playing a little deeper than the traditional number ten but has beaten a few challenges with ease so far. Can play a pass, too.
Good claim Mitchell
He rises high to catch a corner. Nuneaton may have fallen behind but they’re having a go. Game being played at a high intensity in the opening ten minutes...
