Analysis of Barrow 0 Doncaster Rovers 1
Transcript
00:00Hello, good evening from Barrow, where Doncaster Rovers have successfully manoeuvred a pretty
00:06tricky tie on paper, winning 1-0 here at Orchard Street. Really close encounter against obviously
00:13the fellow League 2 side, Patrick Kelly's goal winning it late on. It was a real banana
00:18skin once for Rovers, a lot of changes, basically reverted to the team that played Bradford
00:23last weekend, so the likes of Molyneux coming back in, Billy Sharp, Sharman lowing goal,
00:30others that came in. It was a really strong outfit from Rovers, but the start wasn't brilliant.
00:36Barrow had probably more of the chances, but Luke Molyneux, a few chances for him that
00:41weren't begging. Probably the main issue in the first half was the injury suffered. Jamie
00:46Sturdy going off with what looked like a shoulder injury, Grant McCann confirmed afterwards it
00:51was, dislocated his shoulder actually, but he's hopeful that he'll be fine for next week.
00:58He mentioned that Dave Rennie, the physio, or the head of medical I should say, tried
01:02to pop it back in, couldn't really do it, so obviously it wasn't a risk worth taking.
01:07Took him off after 25 minutes, and obviously he wasn't the only one to go off, James Maxwell
01:12going off as well. Just after half-time, that one doesn't look as straightforward, it looks
01:18as though he's had a reoccurrence of his injury, his fractured metatarsal obviously, which
01:24had surgery on, so hopefully, fingers crossed that's not as bad as a prognosis. Jack Senior
01:30was a tactical decision when he went off at half-time. He was replaced by Patrick Kelly,
01:36who obviously went on to go and score the only goal of the game. Really tidy finish
01:40from the West Ham loanee. He scored, he's got a bit of a knack, hasn't he? Scored for
01:44Northern Ireland during the recent international break, under-21s, and he scored his first
01:48Rovers goal today. That was the difference between the two sides. Not a lot of quality,
01:54a lot of missed chances. Luke Mullen, you're guilty of a few of those, but I don't think
01:58Grant McClellan will be too fussed. They're in the draw, they're in the hat for the second
02:02round tomorrow, and hopefully they get a favourable draw, and it's not one that's too far from
02:08home like this one. So, yes, all good, and they're in the hat. Hopefully, like I say,
02:15Maxwell and Steria are back sooner rather than later. Plenty of stuff on the Free Press
02:19website, we've got the ratings from today, we've got Grant McClellan's initial reaction
02:23going up shortly, and there'll be plenty going up as we build up towards next week when it's
02:29a return to league action.
