If my some miracle O'brian finally arrived to play alongside a rejuvenated Travis that would be something!

Would be lovely indeed.

[wilsdenrover]

Amazing result 😀

[OldEwoodBlue]

JRC will be player of the season if he keeps playing like that. Hope he isn't going to be out injured.

Miles better with Dolan on the left than Diaz. A lot more energy.

Best game Szmodics has had.

Morton was really good until he tired and needed to come off 5 mins before ge did.

Travis was immense tonight.

I don't think Vale touched the ball.

Best we have played for years that. Really enjoyed it !

Waggott will be praying for Man U away for a bumper (over budget) payday. 

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Now Brittains back I'd even be tempted to stick this immense new lad Costello alongside Travis in the middle

Exactly so why am I having to justify it? Genuine question...it's nothing personal. Even Trav seemed to have to console him when he was taken off, almost like a "hey forget about it".. which I thought was. Nice touch if that was the case.

yeh we noticed that too. Fairplay from Travis

Had £25 on Rovers at 11/1!

Just opened a Veuve Clicquot.

Like the days of old!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was surely Krug worthy 😎

[Tugay-is-God]

Who'd have thought we'd have had this sort of month with Kaminski out!

Probably wouldn't even cover the costs they're paying to the solicitors for the O'Brian balls up

Who saw this run happening when Dack and Brereton went off against Swansea?

Szmodics looking a fantastic buy!

Think that's a stretch for the time being. He played well tonight though. Feel like he should have put another of those chances away, mind. Read the space very well tonight.

You think half an Old Trafford quarter final crowd wouldn't net us 100k?

After our 4-0 defeat to Rotherham I was at a really low ebb. It seemed inevitable that we would slide down the table, especially after enduring season after season over the past few years of watching us throw the first half of the season in the bin. Our upturn in form has been incredible, and you can only say hats off to JDT and the players for the way they've reacted since then. I've been as critical as anyone, but now I'm really starting to believe that something special could be on the cards.

If Sammie keeps this up, how can you drop him?? 

[Ewood Ace]

That is probably the finest Rovers performance I have seen since we got relegated from the Premiership. Outstanding. Dolan, Szmodics, Travis all absolutely superb. JRC now looking like the player I expected to see a few years ago. If we'd have be 4 or 5 up after an hour then it would have been a perfectly fair reflection. But very impressed with the character and the other side of the game that we showed to see the game out.

Without wishing to put a downer on the win. Jack Vale bloody hell, any chance of showing a bit of desire to win?

[roverandout]

We have to back jdt in the summer.  He's shown he can learn from his mistakes.  Give him 10 million and we can be a top 2 side next season if we don't go up this season 

[jim mk2]

Stunning win. Best I’ve seen us play in a long time

Should have scored more. 4-1 and Leicester couldn’t have complained 

Whatever pills Gallagher took before the game he needs to take them again 

Rovers fans in great voice. brilliant night all round

Looks an absolute snip at £1.5m, or whatever we paid for him.

Pears in the same boat; he's been faultless and it'll take some doing for TK to get back into the side at the moment (when he's fit).

[Beanie01289]

I thought it was more of a case of trav slowing Mortons walk off to waste a few seconds.

You can't. We have so many games in April though that we'll be glad to have the options!

[AspRover]

Not sure I see anything in Vale that suggests he's going to turn out good, but then a month or two ago I would have said the same about JRC. And Pears. Not going to worry about it right now. This is shaping up to be a much better season than I hoped all round.

[wilsdenrover]

Confidence is an amazing thing

[Gamst]

That was incredible. My main thought after that is how important it is that we keep hold of JDT. He looked rightly miffed after the January window debacle. The board need to move mountains to keep him onboard now. He’s a winner.
