DeNeve did come on either 

That is a definite positive !!

Long may that continue .

Well Infucked up there, just went to watch the game could not get it going   I thought Rovers TV screwed up again then I saw the 2-0 and realized it was a 6:30 KO and I had in fact missed it.  Buggar, and we win

[wilsdenrover]

Perhaps we need a coalition statement before each home game.

[bigbrandjohn]

“I’ll take the positives from this game “

Home win

Home win against 4th placed team

 Blooded three youngsters after discovering we have a stellar academy

Stalwarts Tromdstad, and Cantwell back pulling the strings

 No goals let in

Baradji beginning to “open his legs and show his class.”

Three valuable and seemingly unlikely points at the start. 
 

That will do.

Very important and deserved result in a comfortable and poor quality game against a goalkeeper who seemed keen to help us out.

Thought the senior players were key today. Tronstad is so important, Cantwell too, and although I have been critical of him and dont rate him too highly, I thought that Miller had his best game for us. Pickering also was decent coming back.

Out of the academy lads, I may be in a minority but I though that Pratt was the stand out, dealt with everything comfortably and is built to be a defender. Litherland can be proud of himself although I think after an eye catching 10-15 minutes, you could tell at times that he wasnt playing in his natural position.

[RoversTilliDie]

A decent battling performance from Rovers, I thought Pratt had another good game. Some fantastic touches from Cantwell. Gudjohnsen, and Ohashi on the scoresheet, and a home win at last, Merry Christmas Rovers.

For all the talk of the squad overhaul in the summer, it's once again the academy that comes to the fore.

Pratt and Litherland were excellent, Atcheson also had a good game when he came on.

Cantwell, Tronstad, Ohashi all excellent also.

[Paul Mellelieu]

We were gifted the game and looked very poor for long stretches.  Three points though.

[RoversTilliDie]

I was very nervous, when Ismael made the substitutions, we all know what's happened in past home games, but the youngsters saw the game out well. This home win will take massive pressure off the players.

Keeper and defender with 2 absolute gifts for us, they come in 3’s at Christmas so let’s have one more!

Nothing daft now, ref has set out his stall penalising their keeper and Pears has a tendency to time waste so need to be wary of that 

It is usually us gifting the goals, bout tome we benefited from someone else giving gifts

I agree, Pratts turning into a Rovers star for the future, and Litherland performed well, when introduced. I've got my Christmas present, a Rovers home win.

[B16Rover]

Not to be too antagonistic, but is there some fans who think once Pasha goes there isn't another Venky-ite waiting in the wings?

[AvRover]

F**k! Rovers get a solid win at home!? No evidence of rain? What's gone wrong here?

Can someone explain how it's not going to rain torrentially now and we're going to be docked three points after the fact?

[roverblue]

Great unexpected win. Thought the game was poor with very little quality but for once we took our chances and kept a clean sheet.

Yuki worked his socks off today, think he has become my favourite rovers player on this current side.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Pleased that Rev got to see why Tronstad is such an important player for us.

He goes, we win.  He should go every week.

[roversfan99]

I think it says a lot about the standard of the leagues we sign players from that academy lads who have only played youth football seem to have less of an adaptation to the standard.

[NeilInBristol]

Wow VI didn’t bring on de neve!!!! He’s learning finally!!

[Polky]

Great win 👏🏻

Or could be that you under estimate the quality of our players?

[joey_big_nose]

Well we have pulled Pratt and Litherland out of the hat and they have performed really well.

We need someone to cover Tronstad and someone for Ohashi. No idea about who could shadow Tronstad (a very very hard role) but whats the deal with Diamini? Does he have a bit of the Ohashi about him?

Key for me was leaving Cantwell on (Tronstad too but i wasn't worried that he wouldn't make 90 minutes). Hedges off the bench as opposed to De Neve was also important whilst Henriksson did his bit by not being offside...

I don’t think many, if any, of the carriers associated with the Pasha Out flag are ST holders.

Feed the Gud and he will score.

I just hope that isn't a hamstring injury.
