Doncaster Rovers boss Paul Dickov eyeing cushion from Championship drop zone

By Pascal Lemesre, Football League Editor | 25 November 2013

Paul Dickov is hoping that his Doncaster Rovers side can win at Charlton Athletic and pull eight points clear of the Championship drop zone.

Doncaster Rovers manager Paul Dickov has got his eye on pulling eight points clear of the Championship relegation zone at Charlton Athletic tomorrow night.

Donny head to The Valley for their rescheduled league game after the initial match was abandoned because of heavy rain in August.

Dickov was fuming with referee Lee Collins at the time as Rovers were 3-1 up, but now thinks that the decision to postpone was the right one.

"The last time at Charlton it was an experience but looking back it was probably the right decision. It was a bit shambolic at the time but we have to get that out of our heads especially if you look at where the three points could have taken us," Dickov told Rovers' official website.

"It's going to be a totally different game with different personnel but we feel after last week's victory [against Yeovil] we can go and have a go at them with a bit less pressure.

"We are going with a mind set that we want to go eight points clear of the bottom three, so really have a desire to do well."

Victory for Rovers would see them climb three places from 19th to 16th.
