Doncaster Rvs. prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at Earth Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 3 of the 14 games played, and losing 9.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Earth Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2006, with Nottm. Forest inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Rovers in a League One match.
