Doncaster Rovers winger Jordan Gibson wants his team to use Saturday's long-awaited win as a springboard to climb up the League One table.

Gibson scored both goals as Rovers beat Peterborough United 2-1 to pull the team six points and three places clear of the relegation zone occupied by 21st-placed Posh.

It was their first league victory in 11 matches since they beat Bradford City on 6 September, a game in which the winger also scored.

"[It was] a long time ago, so good to get the first win since then and hopefully we can use that as a springboard to go on a run now," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"Performances have been decent, but obviously not enough to win games."

Manager Grant McCann described his team's showing as "complete", and Gibson believes it will lift spirits in the dressing room.

"You can feel a bit disheartened when it goes eight, nine games without a win and you start questioning yourselves a little bit," he added.

"But we have always had the belief within the squad and we always felt like a win was coming soon."

Doncaster next host Chesterfield in the EFL Trophy second round on Tuesday, before visiting the same opposition in the FA Cup on Saturday, and returning to League One action at home to Stockport County on Tuesday, 9 December.
