Grant McCann reacts to Rovers' record-equalling win at Colchester United

Congratulations, how proud you are of your team's performance tonight, yes, very proud, obviously considering early it was not ideal for us, but the response was outstanding, two very good goals, obviously a great goal, the first from the lady , the second is another very good one. Goal, something we knew could help us in the game. Big Go runs from the center circle between the post and gets a good play from me and then the second half felt really comfortable, the first half a little nervous, it was somehow even Steven a little bit. In the second half I felt comfortable and we scored two more good goals to win the game.

There was a great degree of confidence, particularly in the latter stages of the second half, it almost felt like there were more goals. We were coming, yes, well, we always play for more objectives than ever, we never set out to take what we have. I think that's the way we like to manage and do things and we're moving forward. against the team that obviously did it on the wrong side of the table, they needed a point, I think tonight to stay up and, um, but for us it was, you know, we knew it was going to be tough, Danny. and Nikki have managed in all the leagues, they know the league is backwards so we knew it was going to be difficult and then the first half was a little difficult, the second half I felt more comfortable, I don't think they really had many. opportunities in our goal defensively I think we looked strong in the first half, but we didn't, I said at half time L and that's actually a good point of view.

I could see, you know everything from there, I didn't, I didn't. I liked it, but I could see everything, um, and I think it took us a little while to get back into shape as we moved forward. Tonight they lasted a little longer and ended up with the balls on Ai and Hopper, and it was always working. be a problem for us and we didn't activate it enough, we didn't press enough, we kind of lost our form in the second half, we got back into our form and stopped it, which in turn helped us. and and got us another couple of goals 10 wins in a row fifth the way the league table is at the moment and we only need a point on the last day it's a great achievement yeah I mean look we'll just go attack it and get close like Lo we have done since the turn of the year, we will go there to win the game again, it will be difficult, because you know they are a team that, with a really experienced type of group, and they are strong.

They've had some really good wins at home, so it's going to be a tough game. We will enjoy it, we will enjoy it tonight, tomorrow we will be at the drawing board and we will put a plan in motion to kill him. I realized we had talked a lot with you after a pre- and post-match about the nature of the career you're in now and okay, the work isn't done yet and all that, but is there a part of you that thinks that this is It's a bit surreal the type of football that the team is putting together at the moment, honestly, no, because we are just enjoying it, the boys are playing with a lot of confidence, even when we were one down, I knew there was enough.

In this group returning on Saturday was a similar feeling. tonight they did it, they did it again, you know, obviously they came back from two to nil on Saturday, one to nil tonight away from home and they scored four goals. So we are in good shape, you know, very good shape and the confidence is high and the boys are playing with a lot, a lot of freedom and expression in them, so, long, continue just a quick word about the celebrations at the end. for the players with the fans and in fact vice versa 600 or so down here both seem to be having equal fun yes, listen to the exceptional fans.

I understand. I couldn't go celebrate with them. I asked the Referee, but I don't want to get into any more trouble. But we really appreciate them. It's a long way to get here. Know. I know I've been here. I've been here twice in the last week. So I know. how far away it is and uh, I can't thank you guys enough, you know, I got to hear you all. The game kept the boys cold Tuesday night. Our journey for maybe three and a half years. Our trip from Doncaster, so we are very appreciated from you. Glad to hear it.

We can send him home with another victory.
