Doncaster Rovers suffered a 1-0 defeat at AFC Wimbledon on Saturday, continuing their winless start to the League One season. Myles Hippolyte's superb first-half free-kick was enough to condemn Rovers to a third consecutive loss.
The visitors created several chances, especially before the break, but found former Rovers goalkeeper Josef Bursik in excellent form. The 43rd-minute strike from Hippolyte proved decisive, leaving Doncaster rooted to 24th place in the table with just three points from their opening six matches. Their recent form reads three losses and two draws.
Attention now turns to a key away fixture against Peterborough United this Saturday. Peterborough sit 21st, just three points ahead of Rovers, making it a significant opportunity to halt the slide.
The team must find a cutting edge quickly, having scored only six goals this campaign while conceding nine.
