The Johnstons Paint Trophy isnt the biggest tournament in England but Danny Wilson is certainly taking it seriously especially after wnning the team of the round last time out.

League One side Doncaster Rovers travel to Hartlepool tonight for the second round of the Johnstons Paint Trophy.

Hartlepool went from high to low in the first round after being awarded team of the round and then fined for breaking the competition rules by fielding a weakened side.

Doncaster Rovers have always been a good footballing side and the two clubs are normally involved in tight affairs normally with only a goal between them. The last time Doncaster visited the Vic they stole a point in the last minute after Boyd put Hartlepool 1-0 up in the first half. The time before that Hartlepool won 2-1 thanks to two late goals from Joel Porter

Hartlepool will still be without Sweeney, Proctor and Gibb but Darren Williams could be in contention for a place in the squad.

Doncaster manager Sean O'Driscoll has hinted he will make changes to his side but is still expected to name a strong side.

Bookies have made Doncaster the favourites for tonights game but I wouldnt put it past Pools to pull off another upset
