Doncaster Rovers boss Grant McCann delighted with display in away draw at Mansfield Town

Joe Ironside earned them a 1-1 draw with a 59th minute leveller after Callum Johnson struck for Stags on 21 minutes and McCann said: “I thought that was a good performance and a good point on the road.

“We had asked the players to be a bit braver and take more risks which we did today. We were much more in control.

“Mansfield changed their shape three times which was credit to us in how we played.

“We had some good opportunities before and after we conceded.

“Mansfield should have had a penalty too as Johnson was brought down and I think the referee was chasing the game a bit from there.

“We knew we had that performance in us.”

He added: “We played a diamond as we thought it was the best shape to play against Mansfield. We've watched them and they are a good team, very efficient, they work hard, they have got good players and they are dangerous.

“It has taken Nigel Clough three or four years to build this group he's got and they will probably go on and achieve promotion.

“We want to get to that point at some stage. We want to get out of this league ASAP.”
