Struggling Doncaster Rovers are in desperate need of a victory in Saturday\u2019s League One fixture, as interim manager Gary McSheffrey called for his players to trust each other.<\/p>\n
The side are currently six points adrift at the bottom of the league table and go into the fixture having lost their last three games.<\/p>\n
The game could be classed as a relegation battle, with Shrewsbury Town lying in 19th ahead of Saturday.<\/p>\n
Off the field, Doncaster Rovers are looking to appoint a full-time manager, with the club controversially advertising the job role to members of the general public.<\/p>\n
During Thursday\u2019s press conference, McSheffrey said: \u201cAgainst Oxford mid-week we made them look normal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only thing we needed to work on was one or two things on the pitch and we needed that extra something to come off the bench.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite Rovers\u2019 dire recent form, the squad remains optimistic at the prospect of being able to get out of relegation trouble.<\/p>\n
19-year-old midfielder Lirak Hasani confidently said: \u201cThe lads have to believe we\u2019re going to get out of this or there\u2019s no hope.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means more being a local lad, it\u2019s all about small margins in these games.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking on the mood in the dressing room, McSheffrey added: \u201cWhen everyone\u2019s fit it\u2019s not a relegation squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to trust each other, I want the players to get that self-believe back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rovers are facing an injury crisis, with ex-Man United academy defender Ro-Shaun Williams out until the start of January. Other key absentees include Ben Close, Charlie Seamen and Dan Gardener.<\/p>\n
With time already running out for Doncaster Rovers\u2019 to save their season, the squad need to make every game count before the much-anticipated January transfer window.<\/p>\n
