Donny take on League 1 strugglers Swindon on Tuesday night (7:45pm K.O.) and will be looking to stretch their winning streak to four games after winning Scunthorpe, Man City and Barnsley last week.
Swindon are managerless and Penney said - "It is always sad to hear of a fellow manager going, and this could be bad for us as it will give their players a bit of a kick up the pants".
After the hard fought Barnsley game that saw the Rovers players on the receiving end of some crazy back breaking tackles, Paul Green is very doubtful after he was dead legged on Saturday and Uros Predic will come in as replacement if Green is out. Neil Roberts was handed the captaincy on Saturday but Leo Fortune West will be looking to snatch the captains band back against Swindon. It is currently unknown if Guy or Heffernan will feature in Penney's squad.
