O'Driscoll salutes win at Leeds
Doncaster manager Sean O'Driscoll
O'Driscoll felt it was "the complete performance" from his side
Doncaster boss Sean O'Driscoll saluted "a good team performance" as they won 1-0 at Yorkshire rivals Leeds.

"(Leeds manager) Dennis Wise was quoted as saying that he thought one or two of our players would crumble," he said.

"But we stood up to everything they threw at us, controlled large parts of the game, played football on a terrible pitch and came away with the win.

"Even when we were under the cosh, we were in control and defended when we had to. It was a complete performance."

Wise had told Leeds' website before the game that "there wasn't many at Doncaster last week, hopefully a few of them might crumble in front of 30,000-plus".

He also commented that he had released goalkeeper Neil Sullivan, who joined Doncaster in the summer and kept a clean sheet on his return to Elland Road, because "I didn't feel he would be good enough".

But O'Driscoll added: "That was Dennis's opinion, and he's entitled to that.

"It was never going to get under Neil's skin - he's a 38-year-old goalkeeper who has been there and done that.

"Maybe that was a comment that perhaps he (Wise) should have kept to himself as opposed to run it in the press."
