Huddersfield Town v TLO Doncaster Rovers

[DonnyBazR0ver]

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.   

[Snods Shinpad 2]

Fancy a sneaky 3 points here. 0-1 Rovers.
