To look at their results, you would think Doncaster Rovers breezed into the League Two play-offs, but the way the final week of their regular season ended should stand them in good stead for the tougher challenges to come.
Grant McCann's side ended the regular season unbeaten in 12 games – winning the middle 10 – form no side in the Premier, Football or National Leagues can rival. It makes them strong favourites to see off Crewe Alexandra – one of the sides they beat in that remarkable sequence – in next week's two-legged play-off. If anything, you might worry they had things too easy but the last two wins of the run – against Barrow and Colchester United were the first where they had to come from behind.
And going into the play-offs on the back of a long unbeaten run is much better than with a defeat. 'It's different things we can use as part of our learning,' said manager McCann. 'We've come back in two games and at Gilingham we had to stand firm when a team came back at us. Hopefully this will hold us in good stead against Crewe.
