MATCH PREVIEW
Shocked by the midweek departure of Steve Coppell after only one league match at the helm, and having lost their opening game of the season for the first time in a decade, Bristol City head to Yorkshire under new boss Keith Millen to face a Doncaster side that could make club history.
Not in Rovers' 109 years in existence have they won two opening matches in the second tier, but last weekend's 2-0 victory at Preston means they now have the chance to end that long wait. It is also four years since Doncaster won their first home league game of a campaign.
While City's signing of 40-year-old England goalkeeper David James was one of the summer's most eye-catching moves, Doncaster continue to rely on a 40-year-old former Scotland goalkeeper who has helped to establish them as a capable Championship side.
Neil Sullivan, now in his fourth full season as their veteran stopper, is set to make his 500th league appearance. Rovers' record signing Billy Sharp was only two years old when Sullivan was signed by Wimbledon in 1988.
