McCann delighted after Doncaster put on another late show to beat Wycombe

Grant McCann was full of praise for the stamina of his Doncaster side after they produced second-half heroics for a second consecutive match.

Rovers have scored three goals in the second half of each of their two games so far this term, following up the opening day win at Southend with a comfortable 3-0 triumph over Wycombe.

McCann put the late shows down to the fitness of his side.

“We’ve scored six goals in 90 minutes over two games,” he said.

“This group can keep going, they’re fit, they’re strong and we saw that from the second half last week and this week.

“When we step on it and put our foot on the gas, we can score when we want.”

Goals from Mallik Wilks, Joe Wright and John Marquis secured the win after the break as Doncaster showed a clinical edge.

“I think it was a follow-on from last week’s second-half performance,” McCann added.

“I thought we were totally dominant for the whole game.

“We moved the ball really well. Probably in the first half we just lacked a bit of belief in attacking areas.

“Our full backs got into some really good areas and we just lacked that little bit of quality that was going to open up.

“We knew we would have to be clever and we were in the second half.

“I thought we controlled the game from start to finish and we were comfortable really.

“And I don’t think it matters when you win a game, whether it’s the first half or the second, so I’m really pleased.”

Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth said the game delivered a strong message as to how tough life in League One is going to be for his newly-promoted side.

“They’ve got some good players, Doncaster, and they’ve been in this division for a couple of years now,” Ainsworth said.

“We couldn’t cope with some of their movement at times and it told in the end.

“I felt we had some good chances at 0-0.

“Their keeper came running out at one point and if we’d have put that in, about two minutes before they scored, it’d have been a different game I think.

“We didn’t have enough chances overall. It wasn’t the usual Wycombe bombardment.

“We’re going to get that this season. There’s some good sides in this league.

“We’re going to have to battle, fight and scrap for every point.

“I’m gutted, the boys are down.

“The fans, I thank them. They know what the remit is this season, they understand and I urge them to stick with us and we’ll get enough points to stay in League One.
