I like Travis, a whole hearted player, but would he get a game in the current midfield? Cantwell is a class act, and brilliantly clever at getting free kicks as well as contributing goals and assists.

We've seen flashes, but he's absolutely been inconsistent. He's been excellent in the last 2 (today particularly so). It would seem that the armband suits him. If he can perform like that on a consistent basis this season, we finish in the top half as a minimum. -

Yeah... Funny really we've turned over 3 managers and 80% of our squad in 18 months. But we look remarkably cohesive. The real championship doesn't properly get going till we get into the November to February 2-3 games a week madness so too early to say the wheels wont come off. But have generally looked like a really well coached, defensively solid side across the three league games. I expected us to be in disarray tbh. -

If Todd Cantwell keeps sticking them in the net, we might save money. 2 in 2 games. -

I like Gueye but he was very poor when he came on today. I think he's a confidence player and needs to feel loved and I get the impression there's no chemistry between him and VI - dont think he'll thrive under Ismael. Im sticking to what I've been saying all summer we need 2 strikers and a decent RW and we'll probably end up with someone at loan right at the last minute in the latter position. -
Looks like it might be a gunfight between Potter and the Wolves manager for 1st PL managerial sacking. Good win for Keef. Something seems to have happened to Villa. Frank making Postecoglu look a bit of a mug already.

Ok I'll take the bait. Am I not allowed to say Gueye should've done better there? No agenda at all. My criticism is that he should've been able to keep himself onside, and then he should've been able to put it in the net. I think it was poor play and he should've done better. Do you disagree? I want nothing more than Gueye to be a top striker, why would I have an agenda against a Rovers player? Weird take that. Equally, I think we're all allowed to say when a player should've done better in a particular moment. -

Yes, Cantwell way above the level of every other player on the pitch. Great to see Tronstad back to his usual self too. Having watched a chunk of Hull v Oxford last week, they were actually much better against us and cut out the mistakes and amount of ball give aways - seriously! We were in control from the kick off. Hull had a good two minutes when Toth made three decent saves- one to prevent an og - but otherwise that was a completely dominant Rovers performance. We were relatively clinical in front of goal and as others have said, a 5 goal scoreline wouldn't have flattered us. Liked Tavaeres and Aliboisu while Montgomery and Hentiksson fitted in well when they came on. Gueye needs the offside rule explaining to him because his running was stupid. As for the ref- he was a total homer yet even managed to rankle the Hull fans into singing you are not fit to referee. Two moments not yet been mentioned by other posters- I didn't see it in real time but the camera replays spotted Rovers should have had a first half penalty and then in the 44th minute he twice got into such bad positions not watching the game flow he was hit by Rovers forward passes which were probable goal scoring opportunities. And yes Lungstrom was a red in the 46th minute but not given. -

Bullshit we should have had 3pts against Birmingham, and a penalty against West brom. It's been coming 3pts, we've played some decent football in parts without getting anything out of the previous 3 matches. -

Everything just clicked. Every player on that field complemented each other and worked hard to get the lead they did. Great passing and movement. Dismantled Hull to the point I nearly felt sorry for them(joke) if we can keep performing like our last two outings we should do alright this season. Another 2-3 signings off a good championship squad -

Sensational result. Rovers were excellent today. Hull may have been poor but Rovers did a job on them. Reminded me a touch of Norwich away under JDT. Alebiosu appears to be a very good signing. Early days but looking like shrewd business. Hedges was very good. Need him to turn up and be like that more often than not. He deservedly gets stick on here, but today he was great looked up for it.....and arguably should've had a hat trick. Definitely prefer Kargbo on the right. Cantwell - class above everyone else on the pitch. Maybe the captains armband has reminded him how good he can be. Big player for Rovers this season. My only real criticism is with Gueye. Couldn't keep himself onside for that one chance, and didn't even put it in the net anyway. Poor. The need for a striker is clear as Ohashi will put in the work rate and deserved a goal....but he does get bullied and the first touch isn't great. Just a joy to watch overall. -

Cantwell looking a different class this season so far. No doubt theyβll be cashing in on that next summer so enjoy it while we can. Great to get three points. Keep the faith π€π΅βͺοΈ -

Inwas amazed how good Cantwell eas especially after early assualts designed tontake him out the game, it seems to be antactic used against him and Ohashi, foul em hard and early. He was sublime with some of his moves and ball control. I could not have been more wrong in how I thought the game would be. -
