Darren Ferguson insists no one at Doncaster Rovers is getting carried away with their lofty position.

Saturday’s victory against Crewe Alexandra maintained Rovers’ four-point cushion at the top of League Two and stretched the gap to fourth to 13 points.

“We’re miles away from achieving anything at the moment,” said Ferguson after the 3-1 win.

“We’re on course, but we’re not getting carried away.

“There is an authority about us in games,” he added. That comes from winning matches - and the fact they’re good players. I enjoy working with them.”

Rovers had to survive a difficult spell just before half time after James Jones cancelled out Conor Grant’s opener, and went on to win the game with goals from John Marquis and Tommy Rowe.

“Many times now this season we’ve managed to keep believing in what we’re doing and eventually our quality does tell,” said Ferguson.

“That’s been the pleasing thing for me.

“The players have managed things well in terms of not panicking.
