Walsall 1-4 Doncaster Rovers: 250 word match report
When Rovers last beat Walsall the UK had a Coalition Government and The Bourne Legacy was showing in cinemas. So when Morgan Ferrier latched onto Andy Butler’s misplaced header to nod past Marko Marosi after 17 minutes there was a sense of ‘here we go again’ amongst the travelling Rovers fans.

Scunthorpe United 1-2 Doncaster Rovers: 250 word match report
After a positive league start, expectations were high for this trip to Scunthorpe – especially upon sight of the team-sheet with Tommy Rowe the only absentee from arguably the strongest possible Rovers XI.

Doncaster Rovers 3-0 Wycombe Wanderers: 250 word match report
‘We look really good,’ said one of the lads behind me with a notable tone of pleasant surprise as half-time approached. He wasn’t wrong. From the off Rovers took the game to Wanderers, dominating possession and pitch; indeed all they lacked was a decent cross and a goal – the two not mutually exclusive.
