Match Report: Doncaster 1 Bristol City 1

James Hayter atoned for his second-half penalty miss by scoring the goal that earned Doncaster their first point of the season in a 1-1 draw with Bristol City.After a dismal start to the campaign, Albert Adomah poured more misery on Sean O'Driscoll's beleaguered Rovers by netting on the stroke of half-time.And, to the despair of the home fans, Hayter then blasted wide from the spot after Kyle Bennett was fouled in the box.But, after pressing for an equaliser, Doncaster got it as Hayter turned the hero when he rose to head home Milan Lalkovic's cross.Doncaster headed into the game as the npower Championship's bottom side, pointless and having lost five of their last six games in all competitions.

Match Report: Doncaster 0 Nottingham Forest 1

Defender Chris Gunter scored the only goal of the game as Nottingham Forest beat Doncaster to record their first league win under Steve McClaren.The Reds had failed to score in their first two Championship matches and offered little by way of an attacking threat at the Keepmoat Stadium.However, Gunter's 31st-minute header proved enough.The result was harsh on Sean O'Driscoll's men, who were the better side for large periods.Former Blackburn striker Matt Derbyshire made his Forest debut as manager McClaren made four changes from Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Millwall.Ishmael Miller, who arrived from West Bromwich Albion this week for an initial fee of £1.2million, had to settle for a place on the bench, along with highly-rated midfielder Lewis McGugan.Rovers made a bright start with James Coppinger and Kyle Bennett going close in the opening four minutes, the latter's 20-yard effort appearing to be tipped over the crossbar by Forest goalkeeper Lee Camp but referee Andy Woolmer gave a goal kick.Wes Morgan hooked wide from an Andy Reid free-kick at the other end but it was Doncaster who enjoyed the bulk of possession, with midfield trio John Oster, Simon Gillett and Giles Barnes linking well.But Forest made the breakthrough against the run of play moments after Derbyshire had seen a penalty appeal turned down when Gunter nodded home Brendan Moloney's deep cross.Camp showed good agility to palm away an effort from Coppinger that looked destined for the corner and ensure the visitors headed into the interval with their lead intact.

Gillett had a chance to equalise early in the second half when he was picked out at the far post by Barnes, but the former Southampton man failed to connect cleanly with his volley and Forest clung on for the victory.

Doncaster hit by injury jinx

Doncaster manager Brian O'Driscoll was left to rue his side's injury jinx after Ryan Mason became the latest member of his squad to suffer a serious blow.The midfielder, who is on loan from Tottenham, is facing several weeks out having been carried off with ankle ligament damage following a heavy challenge from Tranmere's John Welsh late in the Yorkshire side's 3-0 Carling Cup first-round victory.It came just three days after Rovers saw strikers Billy Sharp (ankle) and James Hayter (knee) both leave the Amex Stadium pitch on a stretcher in the club's 2-1 season-opening defeat at Brighton.Already out injured are James O'Connor, James Chambers, Martin Woods, Brian Stock, Adam Lockwood, Shelton Martis and Mark Wilson.O'Driscoll told BBC Radio Sheffield the extent of Mason's injury, saying: "He's damaged his ankle ligaments, it's non-weight-bearing so he's another one to leave the ground on crutches."We'll have to assess him in a couple of days, he's a Tottenham player so he'll have to go back for them to have a look at him but it's going to be weeks I think rather than days. Someone said we've run over a cat, I think we've run over a litter of black cats."

Match Report:Brighton 2 Doncaster 1

New stadium, new division, new players – but Gus Poyet is adamant some things will never change as long as he is at Brighton.His club are being transformed, and Saturday was a significant staging post on a journey they hope will take them to the Premier League. After 14 seasons without a home to call their own, Albion’s first league game in the Amex Stadium was always going to trigger a flood of emotions.Less predictable was that the most visible outburst would come from Poyet, who certainly produced a splash when he lost his rag with referee Eddie Ilderton and kicked out at a crate of water bottles.Twenty-seven minutes gone in a new home and Poyet had already been sent to his room – or at least to a seat in the stands. The incident added to a day of high drama that was capped with Albion substitute Will Buckley’s late double that clinched the win.Poyet, meanwhile, can expect a call from the FA. However, he remained unrepentant.He said: “I got sent off once as the Brighton manager, at Orient. They didn’t give me a suspension, no fine. I didn’t even have to pay the costs of the hearing.“Why? Because it was an unbelievable penalty that everybody saw and the referee was the only one who didn’t.“I am not going to change, the day I change and I don’t care, then I go home. I don’t know if I’ll appeal. We’ll see what happens. Maybe they will just put the referee in the fridge for two or three weeks. And I will get away with nothing.”Poyet’s post-match comments might not have been upbeat had his side not stirred themselves in the final half-hour to recover from Billy Sharp’s opening goal in the 39th minute.
Brighton’s recovery was set up in the 83rd minute by Buckley on his debut following his £1million move from Watford and clinched with a well-taken finish deep into added time.
