Donny almost sneaked into the
Championship unnoticed while
the likes Swansea, Forest and
Leeds gobbled up all the League
One attention. Rovers are a
side with no big names but have
a decent squad and play good
football under O’Driscoll.
Jason Price and James Coppinger
are their biggest talents and
they will need to fire if Rovers
are to avoid a quick return
to League One.
