BILLY'S STILL A WHIZZ AS ROVERS GO TOP OF PILE

GRANT MCCANN feels there is still a lot more to come from his Doncaster Rovers side after he saw his team take top spot in the division.

Billy Sharp fired in his fourth goal of the season to help Doncaster to a win over previous league leaders Gillingham.

And while delighted with the overall showing from his side, McCann admitted he is still looking for more of a complete performance from his team.

"I think if we'd have shown a wee bit more composure and a wee bit more calmness at the top end of the pitch, we could have had more goals," McCann said. "There were many times where we got in there and we didn't make it count when we had players in there.

"I spoke to the boys about it.

Yes, it's a good win but we certainly can be better. We were very controlled in the first half, very controlled for 15 minutes in the second half but then it became a bit scrappy.
