Thought the real standouts were Alebiousu , Hedges and Cantwell. All were really superb. McCloughlin looks a top addition as well both from today and the two prior games. All in all despite us as fans mostly jumping off the deep end its hard really to look at the first three games and say the squad quality has decreased really. Alebiousu looks a superb alternative to Brittain, McCloughlin has give us what Batth did. Toth looks better than Pears, Kargbo to me looks a similar sort of level to Dolan albeit in a different sort of way. Only area that worries me in terms of being weaker than last term is central midfield where I think we did miss Travis' energy when Hull got on top for a bit in the first half. Tavares its way too early to conclusively judge but I am not at all convinced. He seems to want to dictate more than get stuck in and him and Tronstad make an awkward pair imo. Figuring out the long term partner for Tronstad is key. Hope Tavares can up his tempo a bit and grow into the role as he obviousy does have some quality. But he's going to have to get a lot fitter. Obviously we need a bit more upfront too. Ohashi's workrate is immense and he deserved his goal, and Hedges had one of his best ever games, and Kargbo played a lovely pass for the first goal. But Gueye was very poor again when he came on and Henricksson is not looking like a big impact player so far. We probably need two proven attacking players who the opposition would really fear coming off the bench.

lol, we probably shouldn't be too surprised Rovers got something wrong

Oh shit I didn’t see that, popped away to get another celebratory beer haha. McBurnie’s such a wanker.

What did i say about Chaddy being more on the money than most? 🤣

Well that’s bizarre are it was Rovers website where I first saw the result as 3-2, so even they initially got it wrong.

We need the depth badly. Montgomery didn't look out of place today when he came on, but he wasn't asked to do much. Tavares seems to tire at the hour mark so we definitely need someone we trust on the bench.

Unfortunately it looks like it was 2-2 & Joseph missed a penalty before equalising

Probably pissed off McBurnie attacked his CB and got him booked after the final whistle.

He'll be on triple the wages we're paying Gueye (and yes he's a much better player).

Not making a case either way but his pass for the goal was class. All good players have the ability to stand still in the penalty box and assess options -just what he did for a sweet 2 yard pass to Hedges.

lets all not get carried away,pash,rudi and venkys are still a trio of t***s

Ismael looked angry at the end there, wonder what’s up?

Looks like he is playing with golf shoes

And yet I’d still rather have him than gueye 🫣 he is an absolute twat though

Cantwell's best performance by miles since joining Rovers,a welcome result.

Football is full of surprises - sometimes they aren't nasty ones either! Well done the lads today, and safe home for the faithful who made the pilgrimage across the M62. Enjoy the singing and laughter for a change. Maybe there is a God, after all...

I don't think the black boots help his look. He's clearly quite skillful, but yeah he's a gangly athlete.

Should have been 5-0, absolutely battered them was great to watch

Well what a game we have to bear in mind hull performance but still all played well apart from our sub forward how is gets s game is beyond me. Role on the next match

Great performance - first time all summer I've not been convinced we're going down without a whimper. I've been one of Cantwell's major critics but that was one of the best performances I've seen from anyone in a Rovers shirt for a long time. Hedges very good also - they've set the bar for their performances now and need to stick to it, not revert to type. Well done to players and Ismael who I've also dished out plenty of stick to - by far the best game under his tenure imo - we need a lot more of the same.

Playing Kargbo on the right and Hedges on the left was much better!

Who is our new left winger? Hedges or something. Looks class. On a serious note, we were excellent from start to finish and should have won about 0-5. Alebiosu has been a surprise hit so far. Looks like a very good player. Cantwell MOTM

Outstanding performance, really pleased with that. Hull couldn't handle the press and the work we put in was rewarded. I've been one of Cantwell's biggest fans since he signed, but today is the marker for future performances. The armband suits him. Toth and the back 4 all solid - the highest compliment I can pay Ryan A is that we haven't missed Brittain at all. Tronstad at his best, Ohashi deserved his goal and Hedges was excellent as well. Very, very good.

For who I wonder though? Tavares

Hopefully Baradji will slot in nicely...
