McCann frustrated as Rovers fail to show killer instinct at Bradford

6 March 2024

Grant McCann believes the next step for his developing Rovers side is finding the killer touch to finish off opposition teams.

McCann admitted his frustration that Rovers only emerged from the clash with Bradford City with a point, having enjoyed the better of the game for long periods.

And he feels being able to make control count in scoreline terms is the next hurdle for Rovers to cross.

“I’m really disappointed we’ve drawn the game,” McCann said. “I thought in the first half we were outstanding with how we played.

“I’m always honest and I come out and tell you what I told the players and I said to them that we need to get to the point - and we will do - when we’ve got teams on the ropes, that we kill them off.

“We had them on the ropes in the first half. We passed around them, the angles, the space we exploited. I thought we were very, very good in the first half on a shocking pitch.

“It was a really good performance from us in the first half. We said at half time that there would be a reaction from Bradford in the second half - they’re combative, they go long, try to switch the play and they wait for that one moment.

“We had some good opportunities where we should have scored in the second half.

“I’m disappointed. Any other time coming to Bradford and getting a draw is a decent point but I’m just disappointed that with the way we’ve played, we’ve only taken a point.

“I said to the boys that we need to get to the point where we can go and go again. Score again, create again, be better.

“We will get to that point but I’m frustrated a little bit.”
