Doncaster Rovers: Top half finish is a realistic aim, believes John Buckley

Rovers have been promoted from the third tier twice in the last ten seasons.

During that same time period, they also spent five campaigns in the Championship.

But, after Rovers bounced back from League Two last term at the first time of asking, former winger Buckley reckons supporters should exercise caution and not bank on winning back-to-back promotions.

“I think we’ve got enough in the squad now to go and have a decent season,” said Buckley.

“But, and I don’t know how people will view this, I think success for Doncaster Rovers would be finishing in the top half.

“You cannot win things and get promoted every season. It’s just not how it works.
