Pompery chimes ring out for Rovers forward David Healy
ON-loan striker David Healy was the toast of the town on Saturday after securing Doncaster Rovers their first ever win against Portsmouth at Fratton Park. The out-of-favour Sunderland forward made it two goals in three games when clinching Rovers a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the relegated Premier Division club with his 79th minute winner."David Healy has done what we brought him to the club to try and do," said Rovers No 2 Richard O'Kelly."We are pleased to have him because the way he plays suits our style of play and I think from his point of view we suit his style of play."As well as the goals he scores he also gets involved in an awful lot of other stuff. "He's an intelligent, clever footballer and he made the run in the first half which led to the first goal. And he must have made five or six other runs."He also contributed to the second goal because his run dragged defenders out of position for James Coppinger to get through from John Oster's pass."John didn't score but he was very influential."Some people feared that the goals might dry up when leading scorer Billy Sharp was ruled out for up to six weeks with a hamstring tear last month, but Rovers have scored nine goals in the four games that he has missed."What you are looking for all the time is a squad of players whereby if a player is missing somebody can come in and everything run as smoothly as before," said O'Kelly."James Hayter, for the last four games has certainly been in the right place at the right time."Coppinger got one today; Oster could have had two or three in the last couple of games and David Healy has come in and contributed."I wouldn't imagine that it will be long before Brian Stock gets one, l so we've got goals all over the pitch
