Derby County (H) - We couldn't make it four... could we?

[matt83]

Never felt more like singing the blues, the Rovers win Burnley lose, oh Rovers, you’ve got me singing the blues.

[Tugay-is-God]

Fantastic win. 

[bluefred]

Good win 

[WacoRover]

Yes, clean sheet!!!

Bringing Buckley on for the flanks is completely wasteful. He isn't quick enough.

I think he is just not good enough

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Great win....nose bleed time for Rovers fans!!

[DE.]

Another great result, and another clean sheet. Amazing what a little consistency in team selection and playing people in their actual positions does. A shame we wasted the first few months of the season with nonsense selections but it is what it is. The penny seems to have dropped for the time being at least. Derby didn't have a single shot on target. We only had three but at least we made one of them count.

Rovers 1-0 Derby
Spurs 5-0 Dingles
QPR 2-0 Nobbers
Bolton 1-2 Wimbledon
Luton 1-1 Wigan

That's a Saturday I can raise a toast to. Assuming the other results stay like that.

Ugh, late equaliser for Bolton. Garbage league.

Great win. Nervy at the end. Great save at the end from Walton too.

[Mr. E]

Sounds like Walton saved us at the death?

[bluebruce]

Hooray!! Would have never predicted a bit ago that we were going to embark on a 4 match winning run!

Or strong enough to hold the ball.  i don't think he is the kind of player to bring on when you are defending a lead.

[JacknOry]

Very impressed with that.

 

Tosin - Colossal

Arma - Superb second half

Travis/Evans - Controlled midfield again

Nyambe - Warrior and really coming on now in an attacking sense

Downing - So bloody intelligent and rarely puts a foot wrong

 

They were the key players for me today. Tosin on that evidence is going to be a top top player.

[jim mk2]

Hanky stuffed up nose time.

And two acid tests coming up - Swansea and Bristol away

Brizzle beat Fulham away today.

Have to say that this was a great win and performance, but Mowbray really made things difficult with his subs.

Brings Gallagher on for Graham, but puts him on the right.

Brings Bennett on for Rothwell, but puts him at left back and moves Downing further up.

Brings the youngest player on the bench for the last 5 minutes when we have a narrow 1-0 lead, rather than someone with a bit more experience like Holtby.

I am giving him credit. For fulfilling the most basic duties of a manager. Picking the best players in their favoured positions, a settled line up and formation. The fact it took him so long is another thing but he deserves credit for doing what the average bozo has said all along. We all learn at different speeds. 

Ya,his signings are the ones doing it though,so surely credit for that?

[Husky]

Thank God I got the FT Rovers App notification 5 seconds before the iFollow final whistle. I don't think I would have lasted.

[AllRoverAsia]

We were the better team and a deserved win.

[Tugay-is-God]

Cunningham on iFollow still sounding very much a Rover, nevermind what Neil Harris had to say in the week

Noblot 2-2 but agreed

[philipl]

Adaraiboyo immense today.

Rovers a class above Derby all over the park.

[davulsukur]

3 points and a clean sheet.

Can't ask for much more than that.

It was straight at him but he dealt solidly with it. We were a little lucky we got fouled as it dropped straight onto a plate for a Derby player who put it in, but the whistle went.

[Vinjay]

Was that thug there today? Sure he will be a very underwhelming signing as he was for Everton.

He doesn't know what to do out there either. Looked lost defensively.

[bigbrandjohn]

Luvly. I hate watching on bbc text when it goes into extra  time. FT are two beautiful letters when the score is 1-0
