Michalski played one game and looked nowhere near ready at his age. Pears is certainlg not good enough to start at this level but as backup hes probably passable.

Honestly genuinely happy that he's shown to have improved of late. Every game he seems to do something now that shocks. That run down the left tonight, I think splitting the defenders and getting a cross away right across goal was superb. Fair play to him

Great result and unexpected once the team was announced. In the first half hour we were poor, and once we conceded so sloppily seconds after scoring I feared the worse but we rallied at the start of the second half and saw the game out pretty comfortably. Tronstad was our best player and back to his best. Pratt deserves immense credit for slotting in so comfortably considering the level hes been playing at. Hedges is certainly suited to a wing back role, Morishita and Ohashi are both pests and Gudjohnsen lacks in general play but is developing a great habit of pitching in with important goals. Our side feels like its patched together and the subs bench highlights how thin on the ground we are going into such a busy period so whether we can maintain this is another question but a very enjoyable night to push us away further from the bottom 3.

Nailed on yellow. But he had a little chat instead, which seems reasonable. 🙄

Just got back to my mates place where I’ll be staying tonight before heading back home in the morning. He’s a PNE fan so I’m amazed I still have a room for the night!! We deserved that win. I feel we offered more all night and it’s got to be one of the best away games I’ve done for many a year.

I thought the tackle from behind on tronstadt was really bad as well and didn’t get a yellow. lot think that gueye should have had a pen -it wasn’t for me- but lot are saying it was and whiteman was just disgusting. Ref had a shocker and he is meant to be a level above

Absolutely! When the injuries and fatigue hit in January the usual slump will commence. We need breathing space above the bottom three by then. Please no one get carried away because we've won a couple of games. Do not forget this season is about survival and we're going to finish bottom half. The squad is very thin. We're still going nowhere and the purgatory of the Venkys era continues. The club has a habit of getting results at the right moment to paper cracks.

Not to defend the ref (who was a dick to us all night) but in real time on TV it happened so fast a yellow seemed about right....just. Only the replay that showed the reality. VAR would have dispatched him swiftly. But I don't ever want that in the Championship. The only circumstances I ever want to suffer VAR is with £100+ million in the bank.

I like it when the forwards are scoring in the six yard box!

Just got home excellent performance, feared the worst at half time but Rovers deserved to win! Put the never wassers back in their box!

We've got 6 more games before Christmas to navigate first. That's where we'll fall down - we don't have the squad for it.

He was on the bench before wasn't he? And before all the injuries a loan would have made sense. What gets me is we couldn't find interest at higher than Chorley's level, yet he can play 90 in a local Championship derby and not let anybody down. I really think we are awful at finding the right loans.

We looked the opposite of the Eustace team today. Going forward we looked like we could score and created a lot of chances. Lots of crosses coming in as well, two of which we scored from. Defensively though we were not convincing and the goal was entirely down to shit defending and a really shit keeper. If we sort out the defence then there's a slim chance of a late playoff push, although bear in mind we haven't had our annual January sabotage yet.

Interesting question. Is this team more enjoyable to watch than under Eustace? Under Eustace we were very solid and organised, but we were pretty defensive and lacked creativity and pace going forward. No doubt that we were set up very well. However, while there is no doubt we are lacking abit of quality, I have really enjoyed watching us this season. There’s an energy and pace about the team, particularly with the wingbacks and two strikers in the channels. VI proving a lot of people wrong - including myself. Also whisper it quietly, but a lot of our summer additions are looking like good finds ( Miller, Gudjonsen, Alebisou, Morishta, Mchloughlin). Jury is still out though!

Nice to walk off having not just won but having won deservedly. Credit to everyone tonight, but Tronstad excelled,Montgomery must have been thinking why does that ball keep going to him? Nice finish from Gudjonson, both forwards just keep nudging the scoreboard along. 4 wins from 5,nice little run developing.

Who is this Wolsoncroft? Why do we have 20 million youth goalkeepers at u21 level?

Did I miss the Derby game? Hedges played LCB in a 3 with DeNeve LWB and Alebiosu RWB, no?

We look a different team with a back 5. Miller and Mcgloughlin can't be trusted to play as a 4, as proven against Derby. Alebiosu and Hedges are great wing backs. Alebiosu is unplayable at times, way too good for the championship. Beradji looks like he has something about him but will need time. Pratt did a job, chuffed for him. The two boys up top rolled into on player would cost 10's of millions. Ohashi grafts his balls off and Gudjohnson is a poacher. With a back 5 we're top half material, with a back 4 we're relegation material. Crazy.

He has a lot of quality on the ball - put in several good dead balls today and of course slid in both Ohashi and Gudjohnsen in dangerous positions (their first touch let both of them down). He's either got to learn to ride the initial 'tackle' (I say tackle 'cos he often gets manhandled) or he's got to be cleverer about drifting into space. Once he has the ball under control he's a dangerous player.

I'm going to assume because Chorley extended his loan on 3 Nov and we only recalled him on 7 Nov. The Derby match was the next day.

I agree with you, he put a shift in defensively tonight but he's still pretty woeful in the final third of the pitch.

It's a joke of a tackle - and Tronstad's reaction should have been all the ref needed (as clearly he missed it live) to know it was a bad one. You don't steam in like that for a player trying to cynically stop a counter attack. It was a deliberate leg breaker.

The little nobber who gave it the big 'un in front of us after scoring scurried off the pitch quickly at the end. His celebration was almost as embarrassing as having a baked potato on the front of your shirt.

Yes, he's an excellent WB at this level. He's also a L1 AML/R, which is where he's played most of the time he's been at Rovers. I'd just be looking at his age and his limitations and move on - but clearly I'm in the minority.

Excellent performance and well deserved by us. Miller my man of the match. Thought he was excellent.. Pratt had a good debut. Tronstad and Hedges best games this season. Morishita good..Ohashi good. Great support tonight. Ismael showing passion at end of the game was great to see. Best away record in the league How Whiteman didnt get a red card for that high challenge. Clear as hell. Penalty probably should have been given. PNE Fans very quiet tonight at work. Going to be peaceful shift COYB🔵⚪️
