v Watford (h) - 26/4/2025

[WacoRover]

Well done, Rovers. There was no quit today from our lads. 

[neophox]

Burnley need a win against Millwall to win the league if Leeds win tonight 

[Michael123458]

It goes to the last day but only a win will do Coventry v Middlesbrough if we don’t win whatever the score in that game it is done. Long shot but fuck it I’m proud of these boys and I still think we’re gonna finish 6th and play Sheff utd over 2 matches first at ewood fucking l fire…. RTID

Ismeal has done remarkably after a poor start. He deserves the start of next season 

Kind of had the opposite effect of the new manager bounce, the disruption killed off the season.

I'm still not convinced by Ismael, but four wins on the bounce including against teams immediately around us does buy a little breathing room.

[Ferrit]

Watford crying at the end they can fuck off, easily could’ve been down to 9 and were play acting as soon as they went 1 up.

Shove it up your arse.

 Proud's the wrong word IMO after all the defeats and abject performances this season but yes, it has to be acknowledged we've done well to be in contention from where we were 5 games ago

[Andy]

4 wins in a row and a point off the top 6, going into the final game.

Literally none of us expected that a couple of weeks ago.

[neophox]

We go in to the last game of the season with massive to play for as last season...difference relegation battle last season and now a play off place...who would thought that without Wharton and Szmodics quite and achievement.

Get in! Still a long shot, but we did all we could today. 

I think we have a pretty decent chance. Millwall aren't gonna beat Burnley away. Coventry and Boro will hopefully cancel each other out helping us sneak 6th against Sheffield United who have nothing left to play for.

Really remarkable win when you consider how rarely we get 3 points after going behind.

Chaddy did😉

[SuperBrfc]

A massive three points. Unbelievable to think we are still in it when it looked like the season was over. Have to give credit to Ismael and the team for the late surge, despite how his reign started.

We owe Sheff Utd and Wilder one. Bring 'em on.

Also, how brilliant would it be if PNE, yes PNE, were to help us make it into the top 6 and go down at the same time. Their forum would explode. Roll on next weekend.

Need Leeds to beat Bristol now

A defeat would be lovely. A defeat by a handful of goals would be amazing!

Tbf I think I predicted this exact scenario 🤣 just hope I'm proven wrong with my conclusion that we'll narrowly miss out as usual. 

[roverandout]

Sad that we need Preston to win next Saturday.  They're away to Bristol.  Love them to go down

Conversely, if we miss out,  it could be argued that we didn't really need to do all that much to guarantee the play offs.

14 points from 11 games so far. 17 from 12 would still be a fairly ordinary return.

We've come a long way from me thinking we wouldn't win a game under him this season though. (Half time v Sheff Wed.)

[Mike E]

Feel dirty saying it but we need Burnley and Boro to win next week 🤮 as well as win ourselves, so it’s incredibly unlikely.

[norwichblue]

Get the fuck in Rovers!

[sharpysharps86]

Well done Rovers! I might not particularly like Ismael's demeanour but credit to him for turning things round after an awful start to his time at the club.

With how Dolan is finishing the season its a real shame he probably isn't sticking around.

If they don't get something they could easily be relegated

That defeat at home to Cardiff looks so awful now, given they've not win since either and gone down today.

Throw in the home defeat to Hull as well, two games of a handful that I think we'll look back on as 'what if' moments.

Honestly can’t believe this next week it’s crazy but have to see what happens yet. RTID 

[Tom]

Amazing how many intertwining stories there could be next week, a lot depends on tomorrow, a Leeds win means the top spot is very undecided and a couple of the clubs playing next week are fighting for survival or play offs 

[dallydally]

We still have it all to do but at least we have given ourselves a chance

 We are well above Sheffield United in the form table and they will have their eye on the playoffs starting

 Could be a good time to play them

[Mike E]

I recall being told if we had a chance of the playoffs going into the last day, then Ismael has been a success.

It feels both a success and not, so far. But he has earned til January before he is driven out by lies to a relegation threatened Birmingham City…
