He’s scored a lot of goals in his career and we knew he was going to be a threat so it’s disappointing to allow him to have that moment. We started the second-half really, really well and we created chances, but to concede from another mistake makes it very hard. "We made two mistakes and lost the game – that’s football.

THESE are very fraught times for Doncaster Rovers - a club who have lost their mojo.

Towards the Rovers net, substitute Tete Fengi had the chance to compound Rovers' angst on two occasions. It was his 20th goal of the campaign – the entire Rovers starting XI had mustered nine goals between them in 2022-23. That is not necessary against Rovers these days. Hurst almost got on the end of a searching low cross from Seaman before the break, with the dangerous Pinnock shooting low at Mitchell at the other end. As is their wont, Rovers tried to play out from the back and Mitchell’s pass was straight at the person who you did not want it to be at in On the resumption, Rovers flirted with a comeback, but it was all brief.

At the beginning of March, Brady of Northampton lamented the “heartbreaking” loss of three first-team players to season-ending injuries in the same week. Doncaster Rovers have won four of their head-to-head matches since December 26, 2007, while Northampton Town has won one, with one match ending in a draw. We think that Northampton Town and Doncaster Rovers might not get much out of their efforts in this situation. In addition, Northampton Town has not failed to score in any of those games. Following their most recent match, Northampton Town will enter this one having defeated Crewe Alexandra 1-0 in League Two. Doncaster Rovers has also had 8 goals scored against them in those games.
