Dale v Doncaster Rovers: Sky Bet League One, Tuesday 12th September, 7:45pm Kick-Off

Doncaster Rovers are the visitors to the Crown Oil Arena on Tuesday night, as Keith Hill’s side go in search of their first league win of the season.

Hill admitted Blackburn Rovers were “a better side” after Dale’s 3-0 defeat to the former Premier League winners on Saturday.

He is expecting another tough test against Doncaster, who won promotion from League Two at the first time of asking last season.

Darren Ferguson’s side sit 16th in the table this term, having won one and drawn three of their opening six games.

 

PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW

Speaking to iFollow in his pre-match interview, Hill said his team are in a transitional period at the moment.

FLASHBACK

The previous meeting between the two sides came at the Crown Oil Arena, when Niall Canavan struck deep into injury time to rescue a point for Dale.

Callum Camps put Dale ahead just before the break, but Ferguson’s side turned the game on its head in the second half, when goals from Mitchell Lund and Andy Butler looked to have won the game for the visitors.

Craig Alcock was shown a second yellow card in added time, shortly before Canavan’s strike secured Dale a point with almost the last kick of the game.
