Re: Donnie Rovers

Tenacious display by the Stanley boys. Only three defenders away from home against the league leaders was always going to be a risk, and their second - and potential winner - was a result of the three being dragged across, leaving a Donny player completely unmarked where we might have expected a right-back to be. After that we survived a number of scares, Donny having more than one clear chance to make it 3-1. But they fluffed them, and then we won a free-kick and hit them with a simple set piece. Last 10 mins it was anyone's game. All put a proper shift in, back three and keeper excellent throughout, even though Matty lost the ball for their second. Hats off especially for Harvey. Was sceptical after Pompey but the lad's a natural at centre-half.

Have a good evening everyone.
