We will.

I'm nervous too.

Pears has been shocking and Gallagher has been a ghost - otherwise it's been a very good team performance so far. 

[superniko]

We really do miss JRC when he’s out injured. He’s a difference maker creativity wise.

Hudds goes ahead vs Stoke

[Penwortham Blue]

Huddersfield winning at Stoke, would like to see them beaten and dropping away.

I'm not watching it - what has Pears done wrong?

[Danishfan]

I´m feeling supersonic, give me Sammie Szmodics 😍

If we take care of our own results it doesn't matter what anyone else does.

[superniko]

Hold on and win this with a few other results going our way and we’re as good as safe!

Smoz...absolutely worth his weight in Gold.

Quick google - makes him worth just over £4million 😂

Hope Szmodics is a) ok and b ) gets his hat trick

Stoke are terrible at home, better away.

He's literally nailed to his line. They had multiple crosses in the first 15 minutes that he didn't even try to come and claim, which piled on the pressure for us.

He was just in no-man's land for a cross that Bellingham was inches away from putting into the back of the net.

He's a fantastic player at this level. 

[moerpho]

We’ve been good this half

[Exiled_Rover]

I don't think it's any surprise that with the much more athletic Chrisene replacing Pickering, Sunderland are no longer trying long diagonal balls over our LB. 

[chaddyrovers]

Good first half. 

Having a fit JRC in midfield is the major bonus for us. 

More of the same second half

He certainly is, keeping fit is his biggest issue unfortunately. But we always look a better team with him on the pitch 

[moerpho]

Can’t ask for more away from home. Finally something for those traveling to cheer about. Now make sure there is a big 0 in the home coloumn and we’re good.

[Danishfan]

Where would we be without Sammie? Sammie is The Rovers ❤️

 

[Hasta]

Excellent first half after the first 10 minutes. Szmodics, Hyam and Dolan all very good and JRC immense,

Well it meant just be me but both sides have not played to well however goals changes games sibxarry on lads and win

[lraC]

It’s a very big half coming up now, not only in our season, but in our history. A win today pumps belief back into everyone and maybe gives the manager the boost he needs.

Come on Rovers, let’s do it and give us the belief we need. 

[simongarnerisgod]

jrc far better in midfield

dolan looks a constant menace to the sunderland defence

we just need to keep doing what we`ve been doing,in poker parlance,just keep leaning on them and they`ll fall over
