Doncaster Rvs. face a trip to Colchester United at Layer Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 12 and win only 4 of the 19 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2004, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a League One match.
