CLASSY DONCASTER TO PASS TO PROMOTION SUCCESS
Doncaster Rovers manager Sean O’Driscoll is convinced that, contrary to popular belief, the easiest way to gain promotion from League One is to play classy football.
His side thumped Millwall 3-0 at the New Den on Saturday, extending their unbeaten away run to 12.
Jason Price scored from close range two minutes before the interval while James Coppinger and Paul Green added superb second-half goals.
They remain in second behind Swansea and are dreaming of playing in the second tier for the first time in 50 years.
O’Driscoll said: “We have just got to keep our feet on the ground and not worry about the teams below us – we are aiming to catch Swansea.
“People said, ‘You can’t play football to get out of this division’.
“But arguably the best two footballing teams are us and Swansea and we are sitting on the top of the division.
“You have to be brave to play football in League One and if you do it well enough I think you can walk the division.”
Millwall are just one point from the relegation zone and manager Kenny Jackett admitted it was the worst he had seen his team play since he took charge in early November.
“Doncaster deserved the points,” he conceded. “We never got going.
“There were not many Millwall players who put their name on a starting shirt.”
