Captain Richard Wood believes Doncaster Rovers missing out on a new club record for wins in their last match before the play-offs was probably no bad thing.
Rovers had won 10 League Two matches on the trot before going to Gillingham on Saturday. They missed out on an 11th but not the play-offs, and that is all that matters to Wood. Instead, the 38-year-old former Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United centre-back saw his team come through a big test of character, seeing a 2-0 lead disappear within five minutes of goalkeeper Thimothee Lo-Tutala's red card, but claim a draw.
'When I came into the team I just wanted to win games and get some momentum,' he said. 'But once you start going on a run there's always murmurings of it from fans or players. 'The gaffer's done a great job of ignoring it and creating his own 18-game table, which has been a very good way of doing it. 'But I've been around football that long to know weird things happen and this is one of them.
