Events

Match Events

  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Barrow AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' Niall Canavan needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' Barrow AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 18' It’s a booking for Barrow AFC player. Ged Garner gets a card.
  • 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Teddy Sharman-Lowe, as he is very good at scoring at Holker Street with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' Harry Clifton has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jamie Sterry on 25 minute.
  • 30' Barrow AFC is showing some good football. However, Barrow AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' Barrow AFC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 39' Barrow AFC receives a card for a hard tackle on 39.
  • 44' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Doncaster Rovers FC team. Jack Senior is replaced by Patrick Kelly on 46 minute.
  • 51' It’s high time Stephen Clemence made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 61' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 61 minutes.
  • 63' The Barrow AFC manager makes a substitution. Connor Mahoney departs to be replaced by Charlie Kirk.
  • 68' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Katia Kouyate suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' It’s gonna be a card for Elliot Newby.
  • 76' Another substitution for Doncaster Rovers FC to replace Kyle Hurst by Jordan Gibson on 76 minute.
  • 81' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Barrow AFC that had 10 games and scored 7 goals.

  • 88' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
