And so the white coats finally come out and the season draws to a close with the Cobblers comfortable in mid-table and Donny frustrated at missing out on a playoff place, though the blow will have been softened by their Millennium Stadium victory over Bristol Rovers in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy.
A number of Cobblers players may be playing their final game in a claret shirt with the likes of Sean Dyche, Alex Pearce, Kenny Deuchar, Simon Cox and Andy Kirk all unsure of their futures for various reasons.
Jason Crowe could return from injury but Joe Burnell and Brett Johnson are both on the sidelines and miss the final game. A striker crisis has hit Doncaster with all six of their forwards struggling to be fit. Paul Heffernan, Mark McCammon, Jason Price, Lewis Guy, Bruce Dyer and Jonathon Forte are all either injured or struggling to be fit for the game!
In 43 league meetings between the sides, the Cobblers have won 16 times. There have been 9 draws and Doncaster have won the remaining 18.
