Doncaster Rovers

Last updated: Sun 12 May 2019 08:04
In Brief

Beat Coventry to pip Peterborough to the sixth place. Ian Lawlor and Joe Wright return into the mix. Full squad available.

Looking Back

Doncaster had the better of things in their league finale against Coventry and beat the Sky Blues 2:0 to edge out Peterborough in the race for the sixth place.

Grant McCann's men have played outstanding football on occasions but have slowed down in the late stages of the season, which is why they needed to wait until the final round to secure a play-off place.

Looking Ahead

Joe Wright and Ian Lawlor have been struggling with injuries for a couple of months each, but are both back in full training and will be available.

Grant McCann has revealed that he expects to have a full squad available to pick from.

Points of Interest

Doncaster's last two home games against Charlton both ended 1:1. They faced the Addics twice in the league this season, drawing at home and losing away, but claimed a 2:0 away win in the FA Cup back in December.

Charlton Athletic

Last updated: Sun 12 May 2019 08:04
In Brief

Ended their league campaign with a superb 4:0 win over Rochdale. Chris Solly is still suspended. Igor Vetokele is doubtful. Jonathan Williams is expected back.

Looking Back

Charlton maintained their excellent form in their final league game and crushed Rochdale with a 4:0 scoreline.

The Addics have been in excellent form for more than two months, but were not consistent enough over the course of the entire season to push for direct promotion.

Looking Ahead

Chris Solly remains unavailable for selection, being set to complete a four-match suspension.

Igor Vetokele and Jonathan Williams have been carrying knocks lately. No updates on the former have been given, but the latter is expected back.

Points of Interest

Charlton had a record of 10-4-1 in their last fifteen league games. They collected more points than any other League One side in those fifteen games and also top the league table over both the last five and ten games.
