O'Driscoll backing for forward line

The pair led Rovers' frontline in midweek against leaders West Brom, with Fairhurst bagging his first goal in professional football in the 3-1 defeat. O'Driscoll is down to the bare bones in the forward department as James Hayter, James Coppinger and last season's top-scorer Paul Heffernan are out injured. "I thought that they interacted well with the rest of the team as well as with each other at West Brom on Tuesday," O'Driscoll told the Sheffield Star. "There are things to work on as a partnership, but it was a good beginning."
