Changes on the horizon?
No fresh injury concerns, we are told, but there are some tired legs in the Doncaster camp.
Here’s what head coach Danny Schofield had to say yesterday.
Welcome back!
Just 72 hours after their last match Doncaster Rovers are back in action at home to one of the division’s surprise packages this season, Pete Wild’s Barrow.
The Bluebirds were tipped for another struggling season after finishing 21st and 22nd in their first two years back in the Football League but are one of several sides in the division still in with a chance of making the play-offs.
Still, they haven’t won in their last eight, while Doncaster head into the clash in good shape folllowing back-to-back wins. They put in one of their strongest displays of the season against Swindon on Saturday. Can they back it up and continue their mini-resurgence following three straight defeats?
