Doncaster Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll has handed a start to Jason Shackell, the loan defender who joined Rovers from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday, in today's (Saturday) clash against Preston North End at Keepmoat Stadium.
Neil Sullivan starts in goal, protected by a back four of James Chambers, Adam Lockwood, Jason Shackell and Gareth Roberts.
A midfield three occupy the centre of the park, consisting of John Spicer, skipper Brian Stock and Martin Woods.

Several substitutes are the norm this season, with Ben Smith - the substitute goalkeeper - joined by Sam Hird, Dean Shiels, John Oster, Lewis Guy and Mark Wilson and Quinton Fortune, who has finally received international clearance to play in the red and white hoops.
