I fully appreciate and respect that. I just feel we yesterday needed another attacking option on there as I tweet at half time. But what do I know. I just feel we need an extra centre back if we are going to stick with this 3 at the back long term. Maybe that goal will set his season off now. That's was best game for Rovers. Him and Ohashi look like it could work as partnership long term but after those 2 we have Gueye who isnt in favour and I expect will go in January so we need another option there

Similar to Nyambe was in that respect, although at least he's got a goal to his name now! When you have his pace you tend to 'get away' with clumsiness a little bit as you can recover from mistakes. Agree on the final ball though, some are rather erratic and the main reason he's not quite at Brittain standards. You'd argue a decent coaching setup could improve that aspect of his game, here, not so sure.

Having read that he reported back from international duty with a 'dead leg' and, following a scan will be out for three months something doesn't sit right with me. Since coming back from his international duty he has made two substitute appearances and presumably trained. Of course he might have aggravated an injury but why wasn't the scan done when he returned and presumably reported some discomfort rather than training or playing.

Paul Weller - Bitterness Rising

He was originally brought in as Pears understudy, so that is certainly true I said during the summer this is why they were hell bent on trying to get Pears out of the club, as it would then leave Toth as the highest paid keeper on our books and mean that Toth could not then cite wanting to be paid at least as much as his understudy during any contract negotiations. The fact that Pears was straight back in the squad as soon as the window closed, only confirms this was the case Pears is a decent reserve keeper at this level, Toth is obviously better, any normal club would be giving Toth a contract on what he is worth and keeping Pears as back up. Rovers will probably end up selling Toth (or maybe even both of them) & bringing in a cheap guy from overseas (coin flip if that will be another Toth or another Wahlstedt) and Michalski/Goddard as his back up

I got told yesterday that Toth is on less money than Pears and won't give him a wage rise. So I can see him going and the reason is he wants to leave.

They missed 2 sitters, we missed 2 sitters and scored 2...Think we deserved the win really.

I like Alebiosu, give him space and he will cause any full back problems. However to be critical of him, he does look clumsy and his final ball can be awful...Him being one of our star players says how low this squad has fallen. He would be an average Joe in any other championship team.

Luck or judgement - who cares. That’s a really important 3 pts Will Still came to England with a very good reputation following his time in France. Can’t see that myself. I was shocked to see Stephen’s coming on in defensive midfield Overall thought we looked good value for the points. We have a couple of players who aren’t good enough - Miller being one. I don’t feel confident with him on the ball. We were told he was a real athlete as well but we aren’t seeing that Gudjohnson is a really good player. When he receives the ball with his back to goal his link up play to hold it and knock it back is always very good. What he has to learn is to then make the run after. Too often he takes a fraction too long admiring the pass. This will come with better attacking coaching. If we can feed him and Ohashi with better chances we can get goals Still think Ismael is too limited. We are fortunate to have met Southampton in this form. Their defence is shocking and we managed to take advantage A big 3 pts in what will be a long, tough season Gardner-Hickman had a good game for me. De Neve anonymous but worked hard I have seen a couple of posts talk about Armstrongs misses. Can we call them what they are please? Toth saves. He saved us the 3 pts today and for me he’s got man of the match

Deffo not the case Ricky. Other people on other sites have noticed I wasnt online for a few days. Hardly breaking a record is it. I did the odd twitter post but I'm far too busy with other non Rovers/football things

Like Sir Roger and Jim Arnold before him, Gennoe was a great keeper for the Rovers. He was pretty unflappable but unfortunately, like most of his teammates, he had a bad case of the jitters in May 1989 at Selhurst Park. That day really hurt and still does, I hate it every time I hear Glad All Over played and pains me that we basically forced Adam to sign up for them.

Its a sobering thought that we could well be back in the bottom three come next Saturday evening.We need to put a run of wins together to get out of this mess,are we capable?🤔 The current we've won a game euphoria will quickly evaporate.

I dare say both Toth and Alebiosu will be our next player sales....possibly Cantwell too. As we know, much like with Brittain last season, any player having a solid season will be sold. Didn't watch yesterday for the first time in a while as car shopping took priority and I was that deflated after midweek. Maybe I should do it more often 🤔

There’s a high probability you understand this stat…

When Alebiosu is bombing on (in or out of possession) Miller shifts over to cover, likewise McLoughlin on the left. In a four this might not happen and render our attacking full backs less effective. There will be times to change formations in game depending on the circumstances and I like this flexibility. Gudjohnsen improved massively in the second half from his recent form. I have thought at times he looked last and one paced but latterly in today's game he really out it in and hopefully his goal improves his confidence as I thought this was waning.

I did realise that 😁 I know stats can show anything but it still looks bizarre 😁

Change the rose to a dying rose and you may have a chance of it being different enough to avoid copyright infringements

Obviously means nothing here but pretty sure that’s the first time I’ve heard an explicit chant for a manager sacking from a Rovers crowd for nearly 9 years.

You don't lol that's the stat😄

How do you score 0.57 of a goal?

I'd be more inclined to keep him if we still had Travis

Trondstadt looks a shadow of the player he was last season.. I love him, but for me, at present, the only thing keeping him in the starting line up is any sort of competition in centre mid. I'd drop him in a heart beat if we still had Travis. Miss the days of Flitcroft 😞
