Alan McCormack

ALAN McCormack believes one goal will be enough to settle tonight's second leg at Doncaster Rovers.

The two teams played out a tense goalless draw when they first met at Roots Hall seven days ago.

And the tough tackling Irishman is expecting another even encounter this evening.

"I don't there is much to choose between the sides and most of us think that's going to be decided by just the one goal," said McCormack.

"We want it to be us to get it but we're looking forward to the game because these are the ones you want to be playing in.

"There is so much at stake and we're really fired up to win it."

McCormack was his usual energetic self in the centre of the park against the Yorkshire outfit last time around and enjoyed his testing evening.

"I thought it was a really good game - the type you want and like to be involved in," he said.

"We both tried to pass it around but the challenges were flying in too and fair play to the referee because he let it flow as well.

"He wasn't at all whistle-happy and it made for a really good match.

"I thought we shaded the first half and they probably shaded the second so a draw was a fair result, especially when the stats show that we both had eight chances to score."

Blues will be bidding for better at the Keepmoat Stadium tonight and will be again looking for McCormack and his fellow midfielder Nicky Bailey for inspiration.

The duo have bagged 20 goals between them this season and have become the driving force of a side pushing for promotion.

But their aggressive styles have often aggravated the opposition, while their own team-mates have also been quick to taunt them.

"We're similar kind of people and we like to moan so that's why a few of the lads think we're a bit of a married couple," said McCormack.

"We work hard and we're in people's faces. If we think someone else isn't working hard, we tell them. Some people like it and others don't but that's the way we are and we're not going to change."
