I must have watched a different game then. Wharton mom easily today.

Tronstad for mine, by some distance. 

Wharton was good - although he should have scored.

Always good to win away from home. Three welcome points.

Fantastic result, and a huge win given Rovers next few games all look tough. Now that Ipswich seem to have turned up this season it was really important to get a win here ahead of playing them next weekend.

Promising signs with Mori and Gudjohnsen by the sounds of it.

Have to say we looked really good. Only player id swap in from September 2024 was Travis.

Obviously we are riding our luck on Carter and Wharton staying fit. But like the look of the team.

I hope Tavares can get up to speed and improve as he was a total passenger. Not good either on or off the ball. But ive seen players (e.g. Tronstad) who look a completely different player after a few months.

Toth, Tronstad, Wharton, Carter were all so solid today. Foundation for the rest of the team. Thought all the attacking players did well, Cantwell is consistently better this year. Gudjonsen looks very very promising.

We weren't great but the better team won. Ryo deserved the goal for his stunning effort that rocked the woodwork.

We look so lightweight upfront and Tavares seems to get worse every game.

Gudjohnson looked good but I'd be happy if I didn't see Kargbo play another game for Rovers.

Brilliant win but disagree about Kargbo.

He has blistering pace and is an excellent option with 10/15 mins left in a game. He will serve a purpose this season.

Very very happy.

Fantastic, what a result. Proper team performance that. Chuffed!!!

Good unexpected win.... but god i hope wharton and carter stay fit.

Mori seems to be the best signing of the window

Just a gut feeling Rovers pull off a surprise win today.  Chucked a few quid at it at 23/10.

Ha ha. First time ever I have taken a punt on your pedictions. Put a wedge on at 9/4. Well done Merce. Don't make any more though lol

On todays evidence he looked the worst option with 10/15 mins left in a game.

I think there's an absolute Rolls Royce of a player in there, I just doubt it'll ever be unlocked.

Looks like Saturday Night’s Alright (for Rovers)! 👀

 

[Tomphil2]

Great win we seem to have a decent away day formula at the min so now there needs to be one for home games.

WTF - is that from Elliot Jackson? I like what he does a lot personally (unlike many on here) - like the podcast etc - but surely crack is involved somewhere in that assessment? Anyone got Tavares down as having a good game?

[blue and whites]

Like most here I think tavares have been poor the first few matches and it has been hard to see What he is offering. That said, today he got better as the game progressed. He looks too casual at times. But I think he covers quite a lot of ground, has a good pass on him and good ball control. Hopefully will Get better if he stays in the side. 

[tonyoz]

Wharton was my MoM, he did exactly what we needed and was dominant and aggressive. I like the new lads, the Viking isn’t easily knocked off the ball (unlike Ohashi), Miller is gonna be a fan favourite and Morishita finished well. Tavares was the only disappointment I think.

I had him at 6 out of ten, and thought I was being generous

Only plus from Tavares was he actually lasted the full 90.  Probably because he was a passenger most of the game.  

Early days though.

I'll bite in that i didn't think he anything like as bad as the comments on here suggest (today only). Will really struggle against teams that don't give him any space/time and needs Tronstad (or similar) next to him but i would rather him than Buckley (given our other CM signing is expected to be the replacement for Travis)

[Paul Mellelieu]

It felt like an early season must not lose game, and we delivered the goods.

Ps. A change in formation that didn't lead to total self-destruction - forgot that it was possible 😁

Will be nice for Ismael to get one over on his old employers!
