O'DRISCOLL: POSH ARE AN ATTRACTIVE SIDE

Posted on: Mon 19 Oct 2009

Doncaster Rovers manager Sean O'Driscoll has labelled Tuesday's opponents Peterborough United as 'an attractive side' and believes that his team will face a tough challenge from Darren Ferguson's London Road outfit - especially from their strike department.

The Rovers boss feels sympathy for Posh, who are currently struggling at this point in the season to adapt to the rigours of the Coca-Cola Championship - finding themselves in the same position as the Rovers had this time last campaign.

"I think that they are an attractive side," Sean told members of the press ahead of the midweek fixture.

"I think they have done very well over the past couple of seasons. They have sort of walked through two divisions and come up into the Championship. I think they are now on a learning curve, as we were last season, but if they stick to their principles, which they have done so far; alter one or two things and learn quickly then I think they will be fine. I think that you can't score as many goals as they have scored and then suddenly dry up, but they will come up against some sides, like we did, who are used to dealing with pressure. You can sympathise with them at this minute in time because we have been in that situation as well. But they have a goal threat and they will never lose that."
