Doncaster Rovers are just over a quarter of the way through their League One campaign and are currently reflecting on a challenging start to the season.
Rovers started the season slowly by losing to Mansfield Town before drawing with Barnsley, Stevenage and Notts County to round off a winless August.
Defeats at Plymouth and Wimbledon further dampened expectations before a much-needed first victory of the campaign against Peterborough sent the team into the international break with a spring in their step.
Confidence seemed to be slowly building with a win over Burton Albion with some of the new signings slowly finding their feet, and although defeats at Leicester City and Stockport County were hardly ideal, the manner in which the team defeated Sheffield Wednesday suggested this could still be a bright season.
However, the mood around Rovers is currently rock bottom following the disappointment of a 3-1 loss at Luton Town and most alarmingly a 6-1 thrashing at MK Dons.
This leaves McCann’s side just above the relegation places as things stand. But where do the bookmakers expect them to finish?
Here’s the predicted League One table, according to SkyBet.
21. Barnsley
The bookmakers are bold predicting that Barnsley will be relegated to League Two for the first time since 1978. They currently sit in 23rd position after a poor start.
