Decent pre match facts from BBC
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield and Doncaster find themselves in the same division together for the first time in six seasons.
• Rovers are unbeaten in six league and cup clashes against Huddersfield (W3, D3).
• The last three identical fixtures have finished all square and if four goals feature this time, it will take the total on display in league games between the pair to 100.
Huddersfield Town
• The Terriers are the lowest placed of 10 clubs still unbeaten at home in the Championship (W1, D1), and have not been beaten at the John's Smith's Stadium since last March.
• The first goal the west Yorkshire club score will be their 2,000th in second level league football.
• James Vaughan has scored eight of Huddersfield 13 league and cup goals this term.
Doncaster Rovers
• Doncaster are looking to add to their single Championship victory, and have lost only three of the last 22 league matches on the road.
• Half of the league goals Rovers have let in (three of six), have been conceded in the last five minutes.
• Evergreen midfielder Richie Wellens is set to make his 500th career league appearance.
================================
Let's hope Richie celebrates in style and produces the kind of play we saw in the opening games.
Difficult one to call this as we're not sure which Rovers will turn up but, if we go in to it as we did v Charlton, then we could stop them settling.
I'm going for a repeat of earlier predications with Rovers going ahead and hanging on at the death. 2-1 Rovers.
COYR.

Need to carry on like we have they will break
-
My pessimistic side says we will lose this 1nil :(
Prove me wrong lads!! Good half!!
-
It's happened too many times where rovers have quietly dominated a game and slowly got worse as the 2nd half goes on.
Come on lads, complete performance.
-
Need to start the second as we ended the first but just add that important goal
-
Keep em at bay for 10 mins and we should kick on.
-
Robinson close again
-
I wish we'd just try a bit of variety at these corners. 16 shots and 5 corners. We've got to make this count.
-

Why would De Val be in the directors box, he would be in the crowd with the other members of the non-playing squad? Maybe its the bloke from Belize?
-
De Val's a handsome man.
-
Whens he fit again??
-
Hudds close again free kick jones clears hogg fires over

Hoorah !!!Shooting practice this week guys!! :scarf:
-
Can I just say - a very big thank you to dknward2
Cheers mate - the best and quickest info I can get here in County Down
-
From the chances created sounds like 2 points possibly dropped - still, creating over 20 goal chances away from home must show a positive approach and a decent performance?
Will be interested to read the comments later from those at the game.
-
Sounds reasonable, team gradually coming together,, unlucky we didn't get some of the chances.

thanks mate
we best in first them in second so draw probably the fairest result
-
A tad disappointed we didn't take all 3. I think the word Dickov will be looking for is 'ruthless'. Taking our chances in front of goal and delivering better balls in to the box.
A lot of positives though by the sounds of it with Richie pulling the strings and the work rate sounded good.
-
Take a point. Still unbeaten away but Watford up next...
-
As nil-nil's go, it was a belter. Anyone who watched England's game in Ukraine last week will know what a chore watching a goal-less game can sometimes be.
