In truth, it was not a bad point in isolation but their first half performance was ‘unacceptable’ – in the words of George Dobson.

9. 15. Doncaster Rovers (-4)
Two points from two, thanks to a very late equaliser from Kieran Sadlier. Still to replace infuential striker John Marquis, though Darren Moore hopes to get deal over the line this week. The success of that will be key. Photo: George Wood

12. 12. MK Dons (+2)
Saw plenty of the ball against a very good opponent in Shrewsbury and enjoyed the ecstasy of a last-minute winner from summer signing Rhys Healey. A great start to the campaign. Photo: Pete Norton
