Doncaster Rovers man hoping to add to his derby day tally against struggling Rotherham United

Luke Molyneux would love to add another derby day goal to his tally later this afternoon.

The Doncaster Rovers winger has seven goals so far this term, with strikes in local dust-ups with Bradford, Barnsley and Huddersfield.

Another chance to add to his collection comes this lunchtime with a trip to Rotherham United (12.30pm). "I'm looking forward to it. I think it's my first proper time there apart from Richard Wood's testimonial last year so I'm looking forward to playing there," the 27-year-old said. "It should be a good occasion all around, with a lot of Donny fans there, so hopefully we can get a good result.

"I think I'm on 14 goals and assists so far in the league and I want to get to 20 mark as quick as possible. I want to keep striving to get more and more. I'll be trying hard to do that."

Grant McCann's side visit a Millers team that is in the midst of a wretched run of form and plenty of supporter unrest.

Boss Matt Hamshaw is said to be under real pressure, with Rotherham fans becoming vocal in their criticism of late. Many have suggested the mood inside the New York Stadium could be to Rovers' benefit.

On that prospect, Molyneux added: "It's their issue and has nothing to do with us. We're just focusing on our game-plan and what we want to do.

"We're all looking forward to the game and we're ready to take it to them. We know if we can get a quick start then their fans might be on their backs and that could be used as an advantage for us."
