Doncaster supporters will be hoping to see a drastic improvement in performance and organization as they take on MK Dons at the Keepmoat Stadium.  Manager Paul Dickov is firmly under fire from large proportions of the Rovers faithful after two poor performances against Fleetwood Town and Leyton Orient.

One piece of positive news this week is the loan signing of experienced centre-half and Doncaster born Andy Butler from Sheffield United.  Butler has a mass of experience at this level and will bring with him a leading voice as well as physical presence in the back four.  I’d imagine he will go straight into the team to face MK Dons probably along side Luke McCullough at centre half.

Rob Jones remains the only absentee for Rovers.  Apart from the skipper, Paul Dickov has a fully fit squad at his disposal.

MK Dons come into the game flying high in 4th position in the league and will be looking to take the points from a Doncaster side who look devoid of confidence over the last couple of weeks.  Top scorer with eleven goals already this season Benik Afobe will be the man to watch for them.  He will need to be severely watched by Butler & co in order to stop him getting to the 12+ mark.  3 points for the Dons could push them into the top two providing other results go their way.

Victory for Rovers could push them further towards the mid-table mark and hopefully move them a little further away from the drop zone.  Currently one point from the bottom four with a vastly dropping goal difference is getting a little worrying for even the hardened Rovers fans.

Come on Donny!  Give the fans something to shout about with a positive performance, leadership and passion for the shirt.  That’s all we want!

Come on you reds!

Overall record Vs MK Dons:   P 6/W 3/D 2/L 1
