Your Complete Guide to the Football League Play-offs: Doncaster Rovers v Southend United


I cannot believe its only a week ago that the first of the play-offs started and now we have come full circle with tonights match at the Keepmoat Stadium, the 2nd leg of the first game featured.
If you wanna a laugh, to continue my complete guide to the Football League Play-offs, I will miss my fav programme on TV tonight... Dancing with the Stars...... yeah yeah I know its Dancing but I have a history of Dance and I AM rather proud of it, although you wouldn't believe it.
To know more, you will have to get to know me better.
Anyway, the first leg at Roots Hall last Friday ended 0-0 and I have a feeling the 2nd leg tonight will be exciting as the rest of the games that I have witnessed and reported on this week.
The winners of tonight's League One semi-final 2nd Leg will play Leeds United next Sunday 25th May at Wembley.
Odds for a Yorkshire derby in London..... anybody?
The game kicks-off at 7.45pm (UK time) and as usual all updates will appear in the comments section at 5 minute intervals (unless anything happens in between).
