Doncaster Rovers manager Grant McCann wants his side to provide the perfect reaction to their latest setback.

Rovers lost 2-0 at Harrogate on Thursday night in a game where they simply didn't turn up. Despite the setback they remain in first spot, albeit that is likely to change by 5pm tonight once the remaining League Two fixtures are played.

For McCann the defeat was a rare reversal for a side who have been in mostly superb form in the calendar year of 2024. It was also only their second league reversal this term and McCann wants the team to replicate their response following the last loss.

"We know there's going to be ups and downs in the season and we know there'll be times when we lose," McCann told the Free Press.

"When we do lose then it's about reacting positively and we will do.

"We lost at Newport and I think we reacted with a three or four-game winning streak so we'll look to do that again.

We'll be working hard. The boys will obviously have a few days' rest but then it's back to work and getting ready for MK Dons."
