Come 5pm on Saturday, Brian Laws will have been in charge 100 games in charge for Sheffield Wednesday.Hes experienced many highs and lows all that can be expected from the Owls, who can follow thirteen games unbeaten with six straight defeats and now its game number 100 for the former Grimsby and Scunthorpe manager famous (or, rather, infamous) for throwing a plate of chicken wings at former Grimsby player Ivano Bonnetti. This Saturday, the opponents are South Houston Astros Jersey Yorkshire rivals Doncaster Rovers. If you look at the positions of Wednesday and Doncaster in league, the Owls are the clear favourites this weekend, yet their inconsistency means Francisco Liriano Jersey that Wednesday fans could be forgiven for approaching the game with a pe simistic attitude. Despite a fantastic performance in the 1-0 derby win over fierce rivals Sheffield United, it was immediately followed by an embarra sing 2-1 defeat to another South Yorkshire outfit, Barnsley.Fast forward 3 weeks, and the Owls are looking to find their first win since the victory over The Blades, having suffered away defeats to Barnsley and Birmingham, a first home defeat of the season to Plymouth and last Saturdays well-earned 1-1 draw to Crystal Palace. But, surely, Sheffield Wednesday must seriously fancy their chances at home to bottom of the table Doncaster Rovers. With no fresh injury problems, and right-back Tony McMahon back on loan, the outlook is looking Roy Oswalt Jersey a lot brighter for Wednesday fans, who could count themselves highly unlucky not to have left Selhurst Park with all 3 points.Doncaster, too, mi sed the chance to win at home to Hector Rondon Jersey Swansea, as Paul Heffernan mi sed an 85th-minute penalty as Doncaster failed to break into double points with a 0-0 draw. Although it can be seen as a sign of improvement for ODriscolls side, they are away on Saturday, and have only claimed 3 points from a po sible 21 on the road this season, with one win (1-0 vs Derby on the opening day) and six defeats. For Saturday, Rovers may well welcome back midfielder Richie Wellens and defender Gordon Greer, but hamstring injuries have put out Jos van Nieuwstadt and fellow Dutchman and new loan signing Shelton Martis.The last 5 meetings between Wednesday and Doncaster:2004-2005 Josh Reddick Jersey League One Wednesday 2 Rovers 02004-2005 League One Rovers 0 Wednesday 41978-1979 League Cup (Replay) Wednesday 1 Rovers 01978-1979 League Cup Wednesday 0 Rovers 11978-1979 League Cup Rovers 0 Wednesday 1Sheffield Wednesday vs Doncaster RoversSaturday 8th November, 3pmHillsborough, SheffieldWill van de Noort |
