O'DRISCOLL: "WE LOOKED NERVOUS"

Posted on: Sat 19 Sep 2009

Doncaster Rovers manager Sean O'Driscoll was left disappointed by his side's performance, which eventually led to the side earning a point against Ipswich Town at the Keepmoat Stadium.

The Rovers manager was left frustrated by the way that his side failed to find their rhythm, whilst the fact that the home side conceded three "poor goals" was a big factor in the boss' disappointment.

Waide Fairhurst scored his second in as many games to give Rovers the lead; however Jack Colback equalised for Ipswich Town after the break. A superb strike from Martin Woods from distance restored Rovers' lead - before two goals from the visitors flipped the game on its head.

Quinton Fortune's outstanding world-class strike from over 25-yards out was the final goal in the six-goal thriller, giving Rovers an eventual point.

"I thought it was a poor afternoon," the Rovers manager told the Rovers Official Website.

"I can't speak for Roy's team, but I don't think that we got going at all. I don't know when we got a passing movement going. We're missing one or two players and for the first time in a long time, I thought that we looked nervous on the ball. Saying that, getting ourselves a goal up, they're not having the greatest run of things - we could go on and win the game without playing well. We've had to rely on Quinton with a 'worldy' goal to get back in it, but I thought that the goals we conceded were poor and we gave away possession of the ball too easily. In this division, it's going to be a long, hard season anyway but it will be doubly as hard a season if we play as poorly as that again."
