Key Events

  • New Rovers striker Josh Andrews to play 45 minutes this afternoon, says Gary McSheffrey
  • Several trialists also set to feature again for Doncaster

Hello and welcome to Nuneaton for Rovers’ second pre-season friendly. The intensity is beginning to ramp up ahead of the new season with several games coming in quick succession, starting today.

Expect players to feature for longer spells this afternoon and hopefully we’ll see some of those who have been working their way back from injuries, or getting up to speed fitness-wise.

We know Josh Andrews will play 45 minutes, but might we also see Harrison Biggins and Luke Molyneux for the first time?

This is what Josh Andrews had to say after joining Doncaster on loan until January. Looking forward to seeing the big man in action this afternoon...
