Recap: Doncaster Rovers beaten at Gillingham but show some battling qualities

No changes from Rovers at the break.

Rovers’ much-changed side can consider themselves slightly unfortunate to be behind.

They recovered from a tricky start and grew into the game - and went close to taking the lead through Close and Nelson.

But ultimately they have failed to deal with a long throw and find themselves trailing at the break.

Nelson with an important block as the Gills threaten to double their advantage.

A long throw from the left is flicked on and Nichols volleys home.

That goal has come out of nowhere, really.

Long stoppage in play for an injury to Masterson.

Molyneux’s corner drops to Nelson whose header is cleared off the line onto the underside of the bar. Unlucky.

Midway through the first half and the game’s gone a bit scrappy.

Rovers have grown into this game after a shaky start. They’re starting to see more of the ball.

Close lets fly from the edge of the box and it’s deflected just wide.

Rovers coming under some pressure early on. The home side aren’t afraid to get the ball into the box.
