'Not good enough' - Blunt verdict from Grant McCann after Doncaster Rovers' loss to Bromley

Rovers flattered to deceive as they suffered a fourth defeat of the season. A first half goal from Ben Thompson put the visitors in front and despite peppering the Bromley goal throughout, McCann's men just couldn't make the breakthrough.

"It's not good enough. Bromley fully deserved the win tonight and did a job on us. We just lacked any sort of killer instinct," The Rovers boss told the media post-match in a brutal verdict on his side's performance.

"I said two or three weeks ago that we've not got enough ruthless edge or enough killers in there at the minute and that's really annoying for me. There's no point having all the ball, creating all these chances and then not scoring. You can float around the top six, top seven with the way we're going at the minute.

"We deserved to get beat tonight, that's the best way I can describe it."

Despite the visitors' goalkeeper Grant Smith being arguably the star performer, producing a series of fine saves to frustrate the hosts, McCann was unhappy that his players couldn't make him work harder for the clean sheet.

"I'll watch them back but I don't think we've tested them with any real conviction tonight, personally," he added. "Even when he does spill it we're nowhere near the seconds. Credit to Bromley though because they came here with a plan, scored through a set-play which we fall asleep on and they hung on. And you know what, they worked so hard for each other. Credit to them.

“But there were numerous occasions tonight when people were just watching rather than making runs. You have to be dynamic to get promoted and win leagues. At the moment, we’re not.”

Rovers now prepare for a white-hot Yorkshire derby away at Bradford City on Saturday.
