Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"I’m expecting a big challenge. They’re doing very well at the moment and we’ve got a lot of respect for them. We’ve watched the videos of their team play and been impressed, and of course they’re on a good run of results as well.

"It’s not going to be an easy one by any stretch of the imagination and we’ve seen so many examples of that already. Doncaster are a team that’s on the verge of the Championship so we’re preparing for a real tough one."

Grant McCann

"We won't change the way we play. We will play our game. If it'’s good enough it’s good enough. If it’s not, it's not.

"I’d be mad to try to sit behind the ball against Crystal Palace and let them have the ball.

"They’re Premier League players. Although I’d probably be mad pressing them as well. Who knows? We’ll see.

"It's a game we can go and give everything we have. If it’s good enough, then great. If it’s not, at least we gave it a good go."
