It is proving to be very much a case of finishing how you mean to go on for Doncaster Rovers.

An up-and-down season is on course to end with Rovers mounting their best run of the campaign.

There is still plenty of ground to cover with six games left to play but Rovers are on the right track.

Their latest triumph may have been far from perfect but it did assert one important truth about this Rovers team.

They really want to finish as strongly as possible.

Rovers’ levels of end-of-season desire were tested to the fullest in a high intensity battle with an MK Dons side fighting for their lives at the wrong end of the table.

But they showed they remain motivated to rack up as many points as possible between now and May 5.

They had plenty to do after falling behind to Ike Ugbo’s well-taken goal in the first half and coming under plenty of pressure from the Dons.

And they responded with a fine second half performance and a brace from John Marquis, to secure a third win in four matches.
