Boss praise for returning Rovers ace

DoncasterSean O'Driscoll has praised the attitude of striker Paul Heffernan, who is set to make his return in Rovers clash with Notts County.

The 26-year-old is set to feature in Tuesday's Carling Cup tie against his former club, having been forced to sit out the last three competitive matches.

Heffernan's three-match ban forced him to sit out the club's League One play-off final victory over Leeds United at Wembley, as well as the opening day victory at Derby last weekend.

But O'Driscoll is happy with the player's response, saying: "Paul deserves credit for his attitude and work-rate.

"A moment of frustration, rather than madness, cost him appearances in a couple of big games, but he has always trained well and never lets his head go down."
