Jim Magilton is expecting Town to face the hardest game of the season when Blues take on Doncaster in front of the Sky cameras.

The Town boss knows the focus of attention will be on David Norris after the midfielder's week in the media spotlight but is confident that the former Plymouth player can deal with the occasion.

But Jim also points to an opposition intent on climbing away from the relegation drop zone as another reason to expect a testing 90 minutes, and all in front of a watching nation on TV.

"It's going to be real test for us, the biggest of the season," says the Town boss.

"With all that has happened this week, we know the spotlight will be on us and obviously David in particular and we have to deal with that.

"The game is on Sky as well and I'm sure Doncaster's players will raise their game in front of  their fans and if we are not  fully focussed, we will lose.

"We have to really dig in and show the unity that we have done. We have to continue the hard work the players have shown on our travels and build on the momentum that we have started.

"Defensively we have done well, with a couple of clean sheets on the trot now and that is obviously pleasing and it gives us the platform to go forward because I always feel we have enough in the locker to score goals."

Town have lost only once in the League since August in a run that has taken in 12 games and Jim pays tribute to his players for that upturn in fortunes after a disappointing start.

"I always felt that when the new players started to settle in, things would turn around for us," he adds.

"There is a real work ethic running through the team now and our performances away from home are a massive step forward from last year but we have a long way to go yet.

"The important thing is the players maintain the tempo and desire they have shown. The lads that are not in the team at the moment, Pablo, Jon Stead, Tommy Miller, Alex Bruce and the rest - you can see their disappointment that they are not involved. They are chomping at the bit for their chance and that's important for the success of this Club."
