Darren Moore’s praise for Doncaster Rovers matchwinner Jacob Ramsey

The Aston Villa loanee raced into the box to meet a Jon Taylor cross and slam home first time to break the deadlock at stadium:mk in the 67th minute.

It was the third goal of Ramsey’s loan spell and Moore said the 18-year-old could feel satisfied with his contribution in the win.

“He’s got an ability where he arrives late in the box and when he does he gets a clean contact on the ball,” the Rovers boss said.

“He can feel pleased again. For his development and his afternoon’s work, it was excellent.

“I thought at times with the ball at his feet he managed and manipulated play well and I thought it was a good afternoon’s contribution towards the three points and he got us the all important goal.”

Moore said he always felt Rovers would need to take any chances that came their way in the clash with MK Dons.

Ramsey’s second half strike decided a game of two halves with Rovers going into the ascendancy after the break after a difficult opening 45 minutes.

“We knew it was going to be tough and not easy,” Moore said.

“I said to the boys in the week that because it was likely to be a tight game because they want to play football and we do too, we might even win it from a set play.

“We worked hard on our set plays in the week because we thought if the game is going to be about cancelling each other out then we’d need to capitalise on a set play.

“We got the goal through open play and it was about doing our jobs after that and they did it.

“You could see why their home record is so impressive because they manage the ball really well and they ask questions of the opposition.

“When I look back at the game there was one real clear cut chance and we took it.”
