Wolves at home...

Well its time from a break from the league to take on Wolves in the fa cup...so how does everyone see this as going...just hope we shift a few more tickets for this game with the Keepmoat site showing under 4000 tickets sold, not sure when that was last updated, i fancy our chances against them at the minuite, we are doing well at home and they are struggling and hopefully be more concerned with staying in the prem so may field a weaker team...in any case i will go for a Rovers win 1-0..

I will go for a Rovers win comfortably at 2-0 , they will struggle if they field more than a couple of reserve team players ; which they may well be forced to do.

I will go for a 2-1 win

Great to see no 'negative vibes' on this one then.

Would be nice if we can sell a few more tommorow to get the figure up a bit more...but all things considered its not too bad, should get between 8500 - 8800 i reckon

Don't know if its been mentioned but i see Mills has been given permission to play today...would be fantastic if we could sign this lad up on a permanent deal..

Doncaster Rovers go into this afternoon's FA Cup clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers with a real chance of causing an FA Cup upset, although they will again have to shuffle their pack to compensate for injuries.
Rovers will welcome Martin Woods and George Friend back into the squad, although both have missed substantial parts of the season and will probably be only on the bench.
On-loan left back Joseph Mills has been given permission to play in this afternoon's game by parent club Southampton.
Brian Stock and Shelton Martis, both of who went off injured in last Saturday's home game against Scunthorpe United, will miss this afternoon's game, with both players understood to be a fortnight away from a return. Dennis Souza will miss today's game after being sent off at Sheffield United on Monday. Simon Gillett has picked up another knock on his injured knee and will not be considered, whilst James Chambers may be added to the squad as he returns to fitness after recovering from a knee injury that has kept him out of the side since the end of last season.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy is not taking today's tie lightly, and has named a strong side ahead of the game. He will hand Matt Doherty his first team debut at right back due to injuries to Ronald Zubar and Kevin Foley, but apart from that, the side will be packed with experienced players.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake is out for three weeks with a hamstring injury, whilst Jody Craddock will also be missing as he continues to recover from injury. Kevin Doyle ought to be fit after being substituted with cramp against Chelsea last time out, but Steven Mouyokolo will miss out with a back injury. Longer term injury victims Michael Kightly (knee) and Adlene Guedioura (leg) are also out today.
Skipper Karl Henry is in with a chance of playing after returning to training. He has missed a number of matches with a knee injury, but may be fit enough to play part of today's game.
At his pre-match press conference, McCarthy said: "Despite the fact we've got a few knocks and will be missing a couple we are taking it very seriously. We've got Zubar and Foley out with ankle injuries but there will be a strong team out. We haven't got a game for a week so when we've played this there is time to recover for the next league game. We want to take care of the Doncaster game - we want to win it and certainly don't want to draw it!
The intimation from the Wolves camp is that the following squad will be named this afternoon: Hahnemann, Foley, Jarvis, Jones, Henry, Ward, Fletcher, Ebanks-Blake, Stearman, Mujangi Bia, Halford, Milijas, Elokobi, Hill, Hennessey, Hunt, Bent, Zubar, Batth, Doyle
