Doncaster Rovers warned of Bolton Wanderers' resolve, Harrogate Town told nice is not enough
Grant McCann has warned his Doncaster Rovers players to expect a Bolton Wanderers team still fighting for promotion to the Championship, despite what the table might say.
With nine games of the regular season for them to play, the Trotters trail second-placed Cardiff City by 11 points going into Tuesday's game at home to Doncaster.
But they have clearly not thrown the towel in after coming from 2-0 down to take something from their last two matches.
They won 3-2 at home to Wycombe Wanderers but had to settle for a 2-2 draw with Rotherham United on Saturday.
"Bolton probably mathematically still in their head think they've got an outside chance of the top two," said McCann.
"I watched them before our game (on Saturday), they've got a really good team who don't know when they're beaten."
Rovers' 2-1 win over Blackpool opened a five-point gap to the relegation zone with a game in hand.
Meanwhile, Simon Weaver has told his Harrogate Town players not to settle for being a "nice" football team at Tranmere Rovers.
Defeat at home to Salford City on Saturday extended the gap to League Two safety to three points, now with single-figure games to do something about it.
"We're nice to a point but we need to be better than being a nice football team," warned manager Weaver.
"We can be good on the eye but we have to have an edge to it.
"Only when we show that edge for moments in the game will we really grabs games and take the game away from the opposition.
"The only people who can get out of it is ourselves by taking responsibility for our actions, for our behaviours."
