[Barmby Rover]

Doncaster   1 - 0   Nottm Forest
Nottingham Forest missed the chance to close the gap on the Championship pacesetters as Doncaster ended a run of four league games without a win.

Billy Sharpe headed home James Chambers' cross midway through the first half to give Rovers the points.

Dele Adebola squandered the visitors' best chance, shooting wide from inside the box on the hour mark.

Forest's Garath McCleary was sent off in the closing stages for a foul on John Oster.

Victory would have seen Forest close the gap on leaders Newcastle to two points, but instead they now lie four points behind second-placed West Brom, who have a game in hand.

After a sluggish start, the visitors felt they should have had a penalty when Mark Wilson appeared to bring down Chris Gunter inside the box.

They went behind soon after, with Sharp ghosting in to meet Chambers' cross from close range.

Doncaster dominated the early exchanges of the second half, with James Hayter dinking an effort over the bar, before Forest began to show some urgency with McCleary flashing an effort wide and Adebola's volley missing the target.

However, Forest's fourth successive away defeat was confirmed when McCleary was dismissed for a lunge on Oster


There you go, Rovers only made up the numbers, get ready for the same tonight on the FLshow.
