Doncaster Rovers v Accrington Stanley - Darren Moore’s men need to get nasty again, says John Bostock

Rovers go into tonight’s League One match against Accrington Stanley on the back of consecutive defeats. Avoiding three straight losses for the first time in 2020-21 will be all in the mind according to former Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Bostock.

“It’s money time,” he declared. “The mindset’s everything.

“The mindset, the focus, the camaraderie, the team spirit is really good here. If we just tweak a few things and keep on keeping on we’ll be where we deserve to be at the end of the season.”

Since five straight league wins (and nine in 10 matches), Bostock feels the team has lost its way in the last two matches.

“I think we need to be a little bit more nasty in terms of how we approach games and take chances,” he argued.

Tom Anderson is missing again due to concussion protocols. James Coppinger returns after a calf injury and Josh Sims could start after 40 minutes from the bench at Sunderland.
