Rovers chief pleased with display
Doncaster Rovers chief Sean O'Driscoll hailed his side's attitude after they sealed a late 1-0 win over Brentford in the third round of the FA Cup.
Rovers looked as if they would need a replay to get past the League One side, with the game at Griffin Park heading towards a goalless draw.
But James O'Connor swooped to head home the winner with just five minutes to go to set up a fourth round tie against Derby.
"We were terrific on Saturday against Watford and in a different way we were again tonight," said O'Driscoll.
"I'd watched Brentford twice and they were impressive but our attitude was first-class on a difficult surface.
"We knew it would be a test for our players but we got on with it, worked extremely hard and we are delighted.
"I would have taken a draw before the game but it could have been done and dusted in the first five minutes.
"We should have been out of sight but I had a look at the players at half-time and their heads hadn't gone down and they ground it out in the end.
"The Cup is a good competition and every club wants to go as far as they can. Financially it always helps and we are no different.
"The goal was fortuitous but you need that every now and again.
"You lose a bit of the romance when you play a team who are in the same division as you but it's one of the best grounds in the country and we will be up for it."
Scott reaction
Brentford boss Andy Scott felt his side deserved a second chance in the tie.
"We were well worth a replay," he said.
"We got beaten by a fortunate goal but I'm very proud of the way that we played.
"The lads were excellent and you wouldn't have known the gulf in league positions between the sides from that performance.
"We can take a lot of positives from the performance. They could have scored a few times in the first 10 minutes but after that we caused them problems.
"Defensively we looked solid and we coped with their movement which has won them a lot of plaudits.
"Now we are concentrating back on the league and if we play like that we will be OK."
