SULLIVAN: OUR DEFENCE WAS FANTASTIC

Posted on: Mon 14 Sep 2009

Doncaster Rovers could consider themselves indebted to veteran goalkeeper Neil Sullivan, after some superb saves allowed Doncaster to leave Reading's Madejski Stadium on Saturday with a point following a 0-0 draw.

Sullivan saved well from set-piece threats, whilst he did incredibly well to palm away Grzegorz Rasiak's goalbound effort in the second half.

"A clean sheet, which is pleasing against a side like Reading away from home," Sullivan told the Rovers Official Website.

"They are a good side and they made it difficult for us. I thought that we defended really well. They won a lot of set pieces and put a lot of pressure on us in the box and I thought that the lads were fantastic. At the other end, we could have perhaps nicked it as well, so a lot of good things have come out of today I think.

"I think that concentration is key, not just today. I think it's part of being a goalkeeper. But you have to give praise to the players in front of me as well. They dealt with a lot, broke up their attacks well and defended against a lot of pace at times. Overall, it was a very good performance."
