Towns wretched time on the road continued against a spirited Doncaster side (their Chairman very much in evidence, ours nowhere to be seen - more of this later).
We were behind in the 13th minute, an excellent shot from the edge of the box from Brian Stock, and it was Doncaster who dominated almost the whole first half. How Town didn't concede 4 or 5 I'll never know, we were awful. Nearest we got to scoring was a stonewall-penalty (Cadders bundled over in the area) that the referee waved away (many others would have given it). If we had've equalised it would have been nothing like a true reflection - we created little or nothing. The last 10 minutes of the first half we looked to be picking up a little, Luke Beckett went close from a corner, but did nothing really to trouble Neil Sullivan in the Doncaster goal, who had a fairly quiet afternoon.
Second half and nothing much in the way of change. Constant Donny pressure, nothing from Town. The win was sealed in the 65th Minute when Rovers Mark Wilson collected the ball from a throw-in, strode forward and hit a low curling shot that beat Matt Glennon (who may have been partially unsighted).
James Hayter and James O'Conner were both denied by Matt Glennon saves, keeping the scoreline respectable. Danny Schofield went closest for Town with a couple of efforts after he came on as substitute, but we never truly liked making any headway today, and we are now in 15th place.

Of course I was watching this on Sky Sports, and I didn't enjoy the coverage one bit, not just the game neither as I was rather upset at the constant references and shots of Doncasters Chairman in the crowd, what a nice bloke he was, how passionate he was for Rovers, how much money he ploughs into them, all round good egg who even played for them at one time when times were hard.
Countless mentions of our Academy, how many players in the side had come from there (hardly the greatest advert for it today though). No sign of Ken Davy anywhere (you might know), and Adam Pearson wasn't even mentioned till about 5 minutes from the end. No banners were to be seen.
Fan ignorance or Sky selectiveness, who knows. All I do know is that we have too many useless players who know their places are not under any sort of threat, and will just stroll around collecting their wages. At this rate we'll be relegated. Another clear out is needed - and in the boardroom too. Lets hope Ken Davy can be persuaded to step aside (asap) and let Adam Pearson take over.
