Scunthorpe United vs Doncaster Rovers preview - Brisley set for home debut
Posted Friday, October 03, 2014 by PA
Scunthorpe's recent loan signing Shaun Brisley is expected to make his home debut for the club against local rivals Doncaster.
Brisley joined on loan from Peterborough last week and made his first appearance at the heart of defence in the defeat at Oldham alongside Andrew Boyce, who also made his debut.
Another centre-half, Miguel Llera, is back in contention following suspension and boss Russ Wilcox must decide whether to recall him or retain Brisley and Boyce.
Striker Rory Fallon is likely to make his home bow after scoring in his first appearance for the club at Oldham, but goalkeeper Sam Slocombe (shoulder), midfielder David Syers, defender David Mirfin plus striker Deon Burton (all knee) are still out.
Jed Steer hopes he will be fit for Doncaster.
The on-loan Aston Villa goalkeeper had to come off after just half an hour of last weekend's 3-0 defeat at Walsall because of a hip injury.
Nathan Tyson is expected to be back in contention after recovering from concussion while fellow striker Curtis Main could also return to the squad after seven weeks out with a knee problem.
Centre-half Rob Jones is still nursing his knee injury and the short trip along the M180 will probably come too soon for the Rovers skipper.
