Grant scores FA Cup brace for Doncaster
23 Comments Conor Grant continued his goalscoring form for Doncaster Rovers with two fine goals as they beat Cambridge United to reach the 3rd Round.
The midfielder, on loan from Everton until January and playing against his Finch Farm team mate and fellow loanee Ryan Ledson, levelled the tie in the 24th minute, cancelling out Luke Berry's header a minute earlier after a penalty had been saved with a shot from the edge of the box that eluded goalkeeper Sam Beasant.
Doncaster went ahead 10 minutes before the half-time interval when Cameron Stewart crossed and Mitchell Lund prodded home.
Grant scored his second of the game almost immediately afterwards with a terrific finish from distance which went in off the post.

Excellent loans – Grant may return as a real asset for us and I have high hopes for Ledson because, apart from his talent, he has a proper nasty streak. Both are a credit to the club.

Doncaster Rovers seek Grant extension from Everton
No mention, however, of Felipe Mattioni in the lineups for this one.
Will they meet Everton in the 3rd Round? When's the draw?

"I think certain clubs you go to ground their players well, bring them up right, and Everton is certainly one of those. I know quite a few people at the club, good people, so you know what you're going to get."

If Mattioni can stay fit then he's a fantastic player potentially for us in a position where we need it, but his injury record is wretched and that's what worries me about his absence today.

What a strike

He seems very much to be a confidence player; can't stop scoring from range at Doncaster but largely anonymous when playing for our second string knowing he can't get the breakthrough.
There is plenty of talent in our youth system but only the mentally strongest you'd back to make it. I don't suspect Conor is one of them. Hope Harold is right and he has added to his game, you just never know.

The same applies to Dowell, each time I've seen him, his football ability has never been in doubt but his work rate has left a great deal to match that ability. It looks like he also has upped that part of his game and so he will be a much better player for doing so.

Young Walsh is a cheeky little genius. Two moves ahead of everyone else. I hope his size doesn't harm his prospects. Rodwell, Barkley, Galloway, Stones, Browning and Rooney. Six giants and a buffalo. It makes you think.

I'm surprised at you, you know your footballers, size means nothing when you've got a big heart.
Liam's heart is as big as himself, Liam is small but he has as much bottle as Alan Ball and Bobby Collins, not saying he via as good as them though, but I live in hope.
