DONCASTER Rovers eased their relegation worries - not that they ever admit to havingsuch things – as they claimed their first win in four games.

And they did it in style with a performance more in keeping with a top-six side rather than a bottom six side.

The quality of their football, particularly in the second half, was a joy to watch and Rangers can have no complaints about the result.

Not that Rangers played badly – far from it.

In fact it was easy in the first half to see how they had climbed into fourth place and why they had won so many plaudits for the way they play.

But they just couldn't live with Sean O'Driscoll's side in the second – few clubs outside of the Premiership could have.

Rovers scored twice and could easily have had another couple.

There had been an air of expectation among Doncaster fans all week in the build-up that it could rival the 3-3 draw against Blackpool in the last game at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Although the game didn't quite match the six-goal epic, there was certainly plenty for Rovers midfielder Quinton Fortune to be pleased about – not least the fact that he captained a side for the first time at a professional level.

"The last time I captained a side I must have been about 10," said the former Manchester United star.

Fortune hasn't played regularly since joining Rovers on a short-term contract in the summer – though a three-match ban didn't help.

But every time he has donned a red-and-white hooped shirt, and played just in front of the back-four, he has done the business.

"It was great to be back playing in the first team again and to be helping the lads in any way I can," he said.

"It is hard coming into the side when you haven't played for a few weeks. You can train all you want but you can't beat playing every week.

"You have to make sure that you are ready for the game and that means not letting your head go down in training when you are not in the team and remaining focused.

"We didn't play as well in the first half as we did in the second, and there wasn't a lot between us. So it was important that we didn't concede a goal .

"The first goal was vital in a game like that; we needed it.

"We play so much good football and we don't always have something to show for it.
