Doncaster Rovers 0 Rotherham United 6

It’s eight changes for the Millers from the game at the New York ten days ago

And it’s three debuts for Rovers this evening as Jordy Hiwula, Rodrigo Vilca and new signing Joe Dodoo come into the team.

In total it is four changes from the side that started the defeat to Rotherham ten days ago.

Out go Pontus Dahlberg, Cameron John, Kyle Knoyle and Ethan Galbraith. Also coming in alongside the debutants is Louis Jones.

Youngsters Ethan Harrison (striker) and Tavonga Kuleya (winger) are on the bench. There is no keeper among the subs.

What is good to see is players set to play in the positions they were intended for by Wellens. The midfield is a decent one indeed while for the first time this season two thirds of the front three are first choice.
