5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eoin Doyle made 128 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' Bradford City AFC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Doncaster Rovers FC backline.
15' It looks surprising Doncaster Rovers FC does not make any changes. Paul Caddis has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
25' Doncaster Rovers FC is showing some good football. However, Doncaster Rovers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
30' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
33' A moment of madness from John Marquis on 33 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Doncaster Rovers FC will be frustrated.
38' It’s high time Gary Bowyer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
43' 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.
48' Andy Butler has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 249 appearances.
53' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gary Bowyer will be considering his options from the bench.
57' A change in the Doncaster Rovers FC ranks — Kieran Sadlier exits the field as Alfie May enters on 57.
62' Jermaine Anderson, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
65' Controversy at the stadium! Tommy Rowe argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
70' England international Danny Andrew has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
73' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Mallik Wilks makes it 0-1.
74' The supporters are chanting for Alfie Beestin. He replaces James Coppinger on 74 minute.
76' Sean Scannell is ready to make an impact after coming on for Billy Clarke at the 76 minute mark.
81' Bradford City AFC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
86' A change in the Bradford City AFC ranks — David Ball exits the field as Hope Akpan enters on 86.
87' Mallik Wilks makes way for Paul Downing at the 87 minute mark. A tactical switch from Doncaster Rovers FC.
