DONCASTER v WATFORD A simple cut and paste from the BBC: TEAM NEWS Doncaster boss Paul Dickov could name an unchanged side as his team chase successive league victories for the first time this season. The Rovers boss is still trying to bring in a loan signing but it is unlikely they will arrive in time. Samba Diakite will be available again after returning from suspension, but defender Joel Ekstrand will serve the final match of a two-game ban. Lucas Neill could make his first start since signing a short-term deal. The BBC fail to mention what the potential return of FF and McG though....http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sp...ws/11066411.Watford_duo_set_for_Donny_return/ Head-to-Head •Watford won the earlier meeting this season 2-1 at Vicarage Road in September. •Watford are unbeaten in the last five meetings, winning the last two.

This is a must win game for Watford if they want to stay in the hunt for a play off place the ability to pick up an a way win seems to have deserted us and unless we can correct that then the best we can hope for is around where we are now
Disappointed not to be able to go. Went a couple of seasons back when Mini Bloother was mascot. It was the game that McGinn picked up his serious injury and Eustace was sent off. Good memories though. COYH
Bond; Doyley, Cassetti, Angella; Anya, Battocchio, Tozser, Merkel, Pudil; Deeney, Ranegie Manu is ill and Murray is injured
Doncaster Rovers defender Gabriel Tamas misses out tonight after getting a whack to the face during Saturday's home win over Huddersfield Town - and it's just that one change from Paul Dickov from the weekend's line-up with James Coppinger coming in to replace Tamas. Rovers: Johnstone; Quinn, Meite, Husband; Cotterill, Wellens, Keegan, Coppinger, Duffy; Sharp, Brown. Subs: Maxted (GK), Furman, McCullough, De Val, Robinson, Stevens, Bowery.
Ranegie almost sets up Deeney but it is just behind him. "Fairly frantic stuff for the first 10 mins. Too many passes from both sides going astray."
Very congested in mid-field. Needs someone to take control . "No real quality seen so far from Donny"
