🗣️ Brutally honest Rob Edwards verdict:. 🫣 Described defeat as painful & unacceptable: 'The lads know exactly how I feel'.😠 Didn't like how 'heads dropped'.✍️ On transfers: 'We know we need more. The guys all know that. Tonight doesn't change that'.

Swansea was a 'dream' for Rob Edwards but this was 'painful'. Need for signings and depth obvious but Doncaster made 11 changes. Edwards expected a lot more from the side he put out and one thing in particular disappointed him. Verdict:.

Two deflected goals but Doncaster very much deserving of their HT advantage. #Boro sloppy and poor. Flashes of spark - two Burgzorg efforts and Whittaker shot - but it's a struggle to pluck positives from opening 45.
