Since Sean O'Driscoll transformed Rovers, playing succulent football on their way to promotion last season, very few have failed to be left drooling at their attractive brand of play.

Even though Doncaster sit at the wrong end of the Championship table, if position was awarded on style – rather than content – then the Keepmoat public would be watching a top-of-the-table side.

Sheffield Wednesday chief Laws – who yesterday marked two years in charge at Hillsborough – welcomes Doncaster to Hillsborough tomorrow and admits he is a huge fan of O'Driscoll's footballing philosophy. "I have seen Doncaster on many occasions and they have an attractive style of football that has many admirers and I am one of them," said Laws.

"Sean O'Driscoll has got a philosophy and he sticks with it because he has the players that can play that system. They are playing incredibly good football. They struggled with it at first when Sean arrived, it took a while to get started, but once it did it was a steam train, right through the division.

"This year they have stayed with the same philosophy and it's encouraging to see that because we all like good football to be played.

"I know the frustrations at Doncaster is because they are not winning games, it sickens you as a coach and manager when you know you have been the best team on the day, yet lost."

Tagged in some quarters as the 'Arsenal of the Championship' for their measured passing game, Rovers have failed to deliver goals, but Laws says his team will not be under-estimating their neighbours.

"It's not like they haven't been creating chances, it's just they have been very unlucky," said Laws. "Taking your chances is the difference in this division."

One good bit of news for Rovers sees cultured midfielder Ritchie Wellens back in contention after playing 45 minutes in a friendly with Aston Villa this week. He has missed the last five games with a groin injury.

Defender Gordon Greer also came through 90 minutes after a long injury lay-off.

Rovers have failed in a bid to sign veteran striker Dean Windass from Hull City.

"We had conversations with Phil Brown this week about the availability of Dean Windass," said O'Driscoll. "He'd like to stay at Hull so that was another avenue opened and closed."
