FT 2-1 Doncaster
A good win for Doncaster, who make it two wins from two. Solid away performance, we haven’t been able to say that much recently.
Report and reaction to come.
Doncaster doing OK here
Think there’s going to be six minutes added on, Doncaster are doing a good job of keeping Tranmere at bay again after they had that spell of pressure following the goal.
Doncaster sub
Jack Degruchy is going to replace Ben Close, who can’t continue for the second game running. Doncaster are down to the bare bones.
This one has turned
That goal has given everyone associated with Tranmere a big shot in the arm. Atmosphere in here is a lot louder - and more positive - and Jennings has just blazed over from close range. About 15 minutes of normal time to go.
HT 1-0 Doncaster
Jennings headed wide on the stroke of HT. Boos greet the home side on the ref’s whistle, the sign of a job well done so far from Doncaster.
Grant McCann is off!
The Doncaster boss is sent to the stands by referee Ben Speedie for kicking the ball away to prevent Tranmere from taking a quick throw-in.
