1 Southend United

7 Doncaster Rovers

Comments:

With Sol Campbell being confirmed as Southend United's new manager shortly before kick-off, this was Gary Waddock's last game in caretaker charge. This became their biggest-ever home league defeat. The previous record was 6-0 versus West Ham United in the Southern League First Division on 31 December 1910.

Comments:

This was the first time that Doncaster Rovers had scored seven or more goals in an away game in a senior competition since a 7-4 win at Ashington in Division Three (North) on 16 February 1929. It was their biggest away win in any competition since a 7-1 victory at Leicester Fosse reserves in the Midland League in April 1901. [c/o John Coyle]
