DONCASTER ROVERS manager Grant McCann says that his side's excellent 4-1 home victory over Sutton United provides further evidence that they have 'turned the corner' after securing their third successive win at the Eco-Power Stadium in some style.
Despite being without 14 first-team players, Rovers recorded a comprehensive triumph, delivering a powerhouse performance in the second half in particular when they scored three goals in 15-minute purple patch. Joe Ironside scored Rovers' opening two goals - a penalty and a trademark header - to take his season's tally to seven, while Zain Westbrooke scored his first goal for the club.
'I thought we did that very well and were very good in general play as well. We flipped from a four to a three very quickly with how they pressed and I thought we looked threatening all afternoon. 'We raised our game in the second half. We spoke about being more clinical and we got in good areas in the first half) and we were not as clinical and ruthless as we could have been. But we improved on that. 'It was more of a team performance.
