Our snapper Simon Dack actually took a very similar rainbow shot here last time he visited, for the 1-1 draw about18 months ago, which I've used as the thumbnail for this blog. His photo today was snapped a little while ago. There is barely a cloud in the sky now - but it is pretty cold and windy.

Rather surprising to see no Theo Robinson in the Doncaster 18. There was always a chance they would leave him out of the XI and opt to bolster midfield instead but his absence altogether suggests injury or illness. The locals are none the wiser as to why he does not feature.
Anyway, here is a reminder of the line-ups...
Doncaster: Turnbull; Wabara,*Jones, Khumalo, Yun; Coppinger, Keegan, Wellens,*Cotterill, Duffy; Brown. Subs: Maxted, Quinn, Furman, Paynter, McCullough, De Val, Peterson.
Albion: Kuszczak; Bruno, Greer, Upson, Ward; Andrews, Crofts, Forster-Caskey; Buckley, Barnes, Conway. Subs: Ankergren, Calderon, El-Abd, David, March, Ince, Lita.

It has been a long time – but is today the day Albion finally end their four-game goal drought away from The Amex and pick up a win on the road into the bargain?
After 0-0 draws at Reading, QPR and – rather less impressively – Yeovil, plus a 2-0 reverse at Ipswich, the Seagulls have hit the road again this afternoon.
Hosts Doncaster Rovers won 1-0 against Leicester (3-0 victors at Watford earlier today) last time out here.
But that is a rather distant memory now. That win came four weeks ago and has been followed by heavy defeats at Reading (4-1) and Middlesbrough (4-0).
Rovers want to stem that flood of goals against them today. Albion would love to get their first away from Sussex since Andrew Crofts rifled in at Birmingham in mid-August.
So what’s going to give here in bright but chilly Yorkshire today?
