'Hopefully we can gain confidence from our last two games' - Doncaster Rovers on the rise
Molyneux was Doncaster’s main threat throughout and broke the deadlock after 71 minutes when he was allowed space on the right side of the box to slot home at his near post.
Two minutes later Molyneux received a pull back from James Maxwell on the left side of the area and stroked the ball low into the corner with a first-time effort.

Swindon came close to taking a spectacular lead in first-half stoppage time as Jake Cain whipped a free-kick from the corner of the box that smacked against the crossbar.
Doncaster boss Schofield, whose side beat Tranmere in the week, said: “I felt we controlled a lot of the game although didn’t have a lot of the ball. But I think the ball that Swindon had I think we controlled where we wanted them to put the ball and yeah, that’s down to a collective effort.
“Luke Molyneux fully deserved the two goals. I thought it was excellent movement from George Miller in the back of the defender.

“Really, we just need to be consistent with our performances. We speak about belief and togetherness, first and foremost, and trying to win the fundamental things first, to allow us then to play our game of football and we’re just looking for that and consistency and hopefully we can gain a lot of confidence from last two games.”
