Why Grant McCann was fuming at one particular moment during Doncaster Rovers' draw with Bolton

Rovers snapped their five-game losing streak in the 1-1 draw but just couldn't see out the win. Glenn Middleton opened the scoring with his first goal in Rovers colours but visiting sub Kyle Dempsey restored parity with Bolton's solitary shot on target.

Whilst he was mostly pleased with the output from his players, there was one moment that had Rovers chief Grant McCann seething.

"I was probably the most angry I've been all season in the last minute of the game, and I told the players that in the changing room," said the Northern Irishman.

"Lawsy (Ian Lawlor) gets the ball and sets the ball down and sees Gibbo (Jordan Gibson) running, (Luke) Molyneux running, Billy Sharp running, (Harry) Clifton running. But four or five of the team are telling him to calm down whereas I'm shouting to him 'kick, kick, kick, kick and try and win the game'.

"So that tells me where the mindset of the group is at this moment in time - scared to lose the game but not in the mindset to go and win it.

"I just said to the players they need to understand me. If we go and try to win the game but end up losing it, that's on me. I'm not about being safe or playing for a draw at home. And you may think I'm crazy given the fact that we haven't won for so long. But that's just my mindset and the players need to understand that. All of them need to get into that mindset and then we start winning games.

"It's taking the shackles off and giving them the freedom to go on. There was a minute left. We end up kicking it long when everybody gets up but we still concede a corner. So for me, the more brave and bold you are, the more opportunities and chances you're going to get and the more chances you're going to try and win the game.

"That minute at the end was probably the only thing that disappointed me across the whole game today. We had an opportunity with five against three running, so we just need to change that mindset of the group."

Rovers' next game sees them back on home soil on Sunday (3pm) with the visit of Luton Town.
