Brian turned his attention to Rovers, who played their part in an end-to-end fixture at CCS in December, which finished 4-3 in City's favour thanks to Joel Bagan's last-gasp goal.
He said: "Everywhere we look, we see teams who have really high potential, and Doncaster have an exceptional team with exceptional individual players, especially in attacking areas, and a manager who has had real success recently with them. It's a brilliant game for us, and one that we're really excited for.
"In every single game there will be parts of that game that you want to improve. There were huge parts of the games against Wimbledon and Luton that I wanted to be better, so in every game we take a lot from it. There's always a tendency to see what's wrong, but for us it's all about getting better all the time. We have to try and perform as well as we can, and keep moving forward with that mindset that we are always going to improve, because we believe in it.
"When we have games where we don't perform to the level that we hope to, we see that as a real opportunity to improve and make it better. The key part of being a perceived winner is to be obsessive about how you train, to give yourself the best chance to win, and that's been evident in everything the players have done. We recovered on Sunday and trained on Monday morning, and it's not an exaggeration to say that we trained as well as we've trained all season on Monday. That's why I'm so grateful to have the players here, who we believe in so much, because of their dedication to how they train and play. I feel very lucky.”
