Rovers return to form

the loss and manager Keith Hill has stressed that his team must not panic, despite their poor form.

“We have to stick to our plan,” he said.

“We’ve just got to do everything we can within our own powers to turn performances like that into positive results,” he said. “For entertainment value, I like to watch that type of game — but I also like to win playing that type of football and on that measure we haven’t succeeded.

“It’s a weakness of the team and a weakness of the phase we’re currently going through.

“All of the goals we conceded could have been stopped and were avoidable, so we’ve got to keep our concentration levels high.

“We’ve just got to roll our sleeves up and carry on and stick to the way we’re playing.

“Far too many goals are going in and that’s been a problem all season.”
