Rovers' unbeaten start to the season will be tested against Gary Bowyer's tangerines, Blackpool.
 
Coming into the game Rovers don't have any fresh injury concerns, but will still be without Mathieu Baudry, Luke McCullough and Alex Kiwomya.
 
Darren Ferguson will certainly have a selection headache up front with three in-form strikers Marquis, Mandeville and May all in contention as well as League One veteran, Andy Williams a consideration too. Marquis got his first goal of the season last weekend against Blackburn, while May scored his second in as many games too last weekend.
 
Pre-match Ferguson highlighted that Rovers are in for a tough test against a team who have previously beaten Rovers one-nil during the last two games at Keepmoat late on in the game,
“It’ll be a difficult game, but we’ve got great energy and they’ll have to match that, we have to stay patient and make it tough for them.”
 
It’s fair to say that Rovers’ defense will have to keep highly concentrated throughout Saturday as they’ll be up against the likes of Nathan Delfouneso, Max Clayton and Mark Cullen.
 
The last time these two teams met was last season during League Two, which ended one-nil to Blackpool at the Keepmoat back in April with the only goal coming from the penalty spot in the 90th minute from Jordan Flores.

Predicted lineup v Blackpool
Lawlor; Mason, Wright, Butler, Andrew; Whiteman, Blair, Rowe, Coppinger; Mandeville and Marquis
