SEAN O'Driscoll is not an easy man to please!

After witnessing a six-goal thriller at the Keepmoat Stadium, culminating in his Doncaster Rovers team grabbing a spectacular late equaliser, you would have assumed that O'Driscoll would have been at least content, if not happy.

But none of it! He was critical both of the game, and of his side's overall display.

“I thought it was a poor performance by us. We looked nervous and we didn't do the things we look to do, week in, week out,” blasted O'Driscoll.

“We didn't seem to be able to string two passes together at times. I thought the goals we conceded covered a multitude of sins as far as I was concerned.

“I was very unhappy with all of the goals we conceded. We didn't mark the thrower for the first goal. Our line for the free-kick was all over the place for their second, and we didn't challenge for the third goal,” added O'Driscoll.

Rovers remains four points clear of Town, having at least won a league game this season - they beat Cardiff 2-0 in their previous home fixture.

And O'Driscoll did at least praise his late goal-hero, substitute Quinton Fortune, for the quality of his 25-year strike with six minutes remaining.

“If they had scored that sort of goal against us, you would have to hold your hands up,” admitted ex-Bournemouth boss O'Driscoll.

“I thought we might go on to win the game as we led at half-time, and I don't suppose that anyone could do much about Fortune's goal.

“But I thought for much of the match, in the first half especially, it was like watching paint dry!”
