Doncaster Rovers striker James Hayter is expecting another tough Championship clash this weekend, as the Rovers take on Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon.

Hayter, who has been playing on the left hand side of a three-pronged attack as of late, believes that Bristol City are a side that boast solidarity in all areas of the park and that Rovers will have to be at their best to put last season's 4-1 defeat to The Robins away from home firmly behind them.

"Bristol City are a very good team and they have some very good players," said Hayter ahead of the clash against The Robins.

"They have a lot of pace in their team and Ashton Gate is always a tough place to travel to. Last season, we went there and got beat quite convincingly; so we'll be looking to go there and put a good performance in."

"Bristol City are a very organised side. They have some good players there, as I said, and they are solid at the back. It's up to us to go there, try and break them down and, most importantly, get a result. They also have strong options up front; Chris Iwelumo did well with Wolves last season in The Championship and played a big part of them being promoted to the Premier League. He's a seasoned campaigner and he knows what The Championship is all about. They also have Nicky Maynard, who is currently their top scorer at the moment. He's a striker I have come up against before when he was at Crewe and he is a good player; quick and he scores goals."
