Doncaster Rovers v Luton Town: Hectic schedule is welcomed by Owen Bailey

Back-to-back losses have arrived in League One and the EFL Trophy, with Rovers' interest in the latter ending last Tuesday at the worst stage possible - one game from a Wembley final.

After a poor elimination to Stockport County, Rovers returned to league business on Saturday and came home with nothing from their long trip to rejuvenated Plymouth Argyle, with the Devonians recording a league double over Grant McCann's side.

A breakneck March schedule affords Rovers no respite, with the League One strugglers hosting Luton Town tonight. It is the second of four Tuesday night appointments this month with three-game weeks on the roster throughout.

For his part, Rovers' hugely influential captain Owen Bailey is glad about that. He and his team-mates must navigate eight matches in all competitions this month, with five being at the Eco-Power Stadium.

Happy to be keeping busy on the match front as opposed to clear training weeks, Bailey said: "One hundred per cent. Especially on the back of disappointing results, you just want to put it right really and disappointing performances as well I think.

"So it's important that you put it right and obviously the best way to do that is out on the match pitch.

"You can train and work on things until you're blue in the face, but ultimately the product that you see on a Saturday or a Tuesday, or whenever the game is, is what counts really. So I'm just looking forward to the quick-fire games and putting it right."

Seven days on from missing out on a Wembley ticket, Rovers can make the home faithful feel a bit better about things with a positive result and performance against Luton, who still possess a slim hope of gatecrashing the play-offs.

Bailey and his team-mates were licking their wounds last midweek. Now, the sole focus is on survival for seventh-from-bottom Rovers, who have lost their last three matches in all competitions.

While they slipped up at Home Park, results elsewhere were not too bad. But ultimately, it's about Doncaster looking after themselves and not relying on others.

Top-scorer Bailey, who has struck 14 times this term, added: "I've played at Wembley before (for Gateshead). It's a massive day for your family, friends and everyone involved and knew kind of what was missed out on.

"For us, There's still a lot of points to be played for and so much football to be played. We're going to have to be at our very best a lot of the time; all the time really and try and maximise the points that we can get.

"The challenge has obviously changed to solely focusing on the league but we'll be prepared for that and at least we've now got a clear focus of what we're trying to concentrate on."

Rovers are currently three points ahead of the side in the last relegation spot in Richie Wellens' Leyton Orient.
