Doncaster Rovers midfielder keen to see the mistakes ironed out

Rovers have shipped 30 goals in their 20 League One games so far, including four at Cardiff in their last fixture.

And Broadbent knows costly mistakes need to be cut out if Rovers are to start raking up the wins.

“We are not far off, there’s just little bits we need to tighten up on,” he said. “If you make a mistake in this league you get punished.

“Even last year when we were top of the league, there was room for improvement. There is always room for improvement no matter what level you are playing at.

“It's something we work on and something the lads are aware of. It's just about tightening up at the back and giving the forwards the chance to win us games.

“We knew it was going to be tough at Cardiff, but there is a confidence that when we are at it and doing what we are good at, we can give anyone a game and win games in this league.

“The result didn't go for us but at the same time we know how good we are as a group.

“The mistakes you make get punished more in League One.”

Rovers host Plymouth tomorrow in a big relegation six-pointer, with the visitors likely to be full of confidence after recording successive wins.

Doncaster are currently out of the relegation zone on goal difference after struggling for wins in recent months.

But the league table is not something which Broadbent is overly focused on right now.

“It’s not something I look at every week or when we get back into the changing room,” said Broadbent.

“It’s about what we can control in the dressing room. There's no point hoping other teams lose and we move up a place. It's about us winning games and taking care of business ourselves.

“We have lads who have played in the Championship before and we can take experience from them. As long as we stick to the plan we will be ok.”
