O'Driscoll down but not out

23 August 2009 11:49
Doncaster boss Sean O'Driscoll felt his Rovers side could have got something from their 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough at the Riverside. Turkey international Tuncay netted neatly early on before Leroy Lita got his first for the north-east club to secure victory after the break. But O'Driscoll said: "Even at two down we were still in it. We controlled the game for long spells, had a lot of possession in their half and we had chances. "But if you lose your discipline and organisation in this division then you get punished and we did that for both their goals. "It is hard to keep your shape when both your full-backs keep on going forward and you have players like Adam Johnson and Tuncay running at you. "We knew we would be up against it. Our reports were that their two centre-backs were immovable objects and we saw that. It is very hard to break through that."
