DONCASTER ROVERS 2-0 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN

Billy Sharp scored as Doncaster beat their Yorkshire rivals to move four points clear of the drop.The home win was the first time the clubs had played at the Keepmoat since the 1st January 2007(Rovers' first match at the stadium).

Nahki Wells has been a useful yet prolific star of the squad for Huddersfield and wanted to impress.The Bermuda international striker evaded Paul Quinn but was stopped by Sam Johnstone.

After Alex Smithies had tipped Mark Duffy's shot over,a corner from the latter met Tamas.He supplied the ball to BILLY SHARP who tapped home after twenty-eight minutes.

In the second half,Adam Clayton wanted to add to his tally so far by aiming from twenty yards.It was really fruitless and he was off target.Gabriel Tamas then struck wide.

DAVID COTTERILL then scored the second on fifty-four minutes.Good work by Mark Duffy set up the Welshman to tap the ball into the goal.2-0.

After that,some good defending for the last thirty minutes of the game denied Huddersfield a goal and they only had one chance-Martin Paterson's angled strike saved.

VIEW FROM THE DRESSING ROOM

DONCASTER BOSS PAUL DICKOV

"We owed the fans some kind of apology for last week's defeat at Bournemouth.This was ideal."

"When a team put their bodies on the line in order to get a win,it's tough for the opponents to actually get something.Both goals were well taken in a composed manner."

HUDDERSFIELD BOSS MARK ROBINS

"It was clear Doncaster were both mentally and physically stronger on the field than us.It's humiliating to say that,but it's true."

"Doncaster wanted it more considering their league position is poor.We played toothless football and suffered.The 2000 fans who travelled are the ones I feel bad for."
