Scott Lindsey's team moved out of the relegation zone at the weekend with their second straight win, having recently ended a run of six consecutive defeats.

Crawley might be struggling in the table but they do their best work at home.

More than two thirds of their points have been won at the Broadfield Stadium, where they have scored at least twice in their last four games.

Key Events

  • Doncaster trail the League Two play-off places by nine points ahead of kick-off
  • Hosts Crawley have won their last two games
  • Doncaster expected to make several changes due to injuries

A booking for the captain for tripping Ashley Nadeson. It was late but the player and the home crowd made the most of it. Surprise, surprise, he’s fine.

First shot on target

Goes to Crawley, who have started fast and much the better of the two teams. Stuart Moore holds from Mazeed after he tried his luck with a shot shot from the edge of the box.

Crawley force a corner

Tommy Rowe thinks the ball is running to safety but a Crawley attacker keeps it alive and with a back heel off the defender wins a corner, which comes to nothing.

Crawley get us started. Rovers kicking towards the away end in the first half. Pitch doesn’t look great, let’s see how it holds up.

Here come the teams

Rovers are wearing their black and green away kit tonight.

A massive shout-out to the few hundred travelling fans here, around 200. They deserve a performance.

THREE changes for Doncaster

Tom Anderson, Liam Ravenhill and Caolan Lavery replace Ben Nelson, Harrison Biggins and George Miller in the starting XI.

It’s a first league start of the season for Ravenhill, while birthday boy Jack Goodman, who turned 18 today, is on the bench along with Jack Degruchy and Bobby Faulkner.

Rovers: Stuart Moore, James Brown, Tom Anderson, Joseph Olowu, Tommy Rowe, Charlie Seaman, Ben Close, Liam Ravenhill, Kyle Hurst, Luke Molyneux, Caolan Lavery

Subs: Jake Oram, Aidan Barlow, Todd Miller, Kieran Agard, Bobby Faulkner, Jack Degruchy, Jack Goodman

We’re a long way from home. The Broadfield Stadium is tonight’s setting and depending on your optimism levels it might feel like there’s nothing on this one from Doncaster’s perspective. They are nine points off the play-offs with 10 games left to go. If they are to reach the top seven, tonight is must-win.

Their opponents have won their last two games after losing six on the bounce. That moved them out of the relegation zone, so they still have plenty to fight for.
