Player to watch: Billy Sharp
Doncaster Rovers striker Billy Sharp is 39 years old, but he still managed to score 12 times in League Two for the visitors, though it remains to be seen how he will transition to life in League One.
The forward found the back of the net against Wycombe, and he also provided an assist against Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup on August 12, and he will be keen to add to his tally.
