Boss happy with Healy

Sean O'Driscoll has hailed the contribution of loan striker David Healy following the weekend win at Portsmouth. Northern Ireland international Healy has scored twice in three appearances for Rovers since being signed as a temporary replacement for Billy Sharp (hamstring), including the winner at Fratton Park. O'Driscoll said: "I'm pleased for David Healy, who has come and been a bright spark for us when we have missed Billy - I'm pleased all round." O'Driscoll was relieved his side ultimately held on to a two-goal lead after letting one slip at Reading last month. He added: "I've been here a few times when you have seen opposition crumble when the home team get into some kind of rhythm. "We stood up to it. We were always a threat and we said before, if we could get good possession, we would be okay. You have to defend long throws and free-kicks and corners and all of the things that you need to do in the Championship - and I thought we did okay."
