Doncaster Preview

Five HUGE matches left of the 25/26 Season, starting with Doncaster Rovers at SJP on Bank Holiday Monday, April 6 - 3pm.

Good Friday's defeat at Blackpool means Bank Holiday Monday's match against Doncaster is a must win for the Grecians to keep them in the hunt of avoiding relegation to League Two.

With five games to go City find themselves three points from safety and need a big effort on Monday against a Doncaster side that sit in 17th place in the table on 50 points. Donny come into the match on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Mansfield Town on Friday. 

The two sides faced on the opening day of the season at the Eco-Power Stadium and City came away empty handed thanks to a contentious penalty decision late on.

Your support makes a huge difference at our home, SJP. So come and back the boys in red and white as we look to return to winning ways and pick up a BIG three points.
