Should bring Buckley on

Keep the faith...have been bad but we can get back into it.

Pickering back to his worst

Stoke look very open at the back and we look lively and energetic.

Nervy start all round. Back looks shaky and Pears has butterfingers 😬

Chance

Hope you are right, was a big critic of his at times but I have to admit he has done a good job overall regardless of how the season pans out.

In that way...

Snowed here in Ireland, woke at 5.30 with it on the ground and covering houses and cars. Sun is out now and it's blasted it away...fear not, sun is on the way lads!

I dunno Bournemouth have form..massive club and a dream for any footballer eh Joe.

Said it few weeks back when I brought a mate who had no prior knowledge to most of our squad "I imagine that Dolan lad will get snapped up by a bigger club at some stage"..has taken a keen interest in him ever since.

Very reasonable post and I agree. We are conditioned as rovers fans that even on a hot streak it feels like a crushing loss or complete no show is just around the corner. It's not that I fear stoke but it's just a case of we have been hurt so many times before syndrome. I wouldn't be surprised if we went there and won 3-0, equally wouldn't surprise me to go there a lose 2-0. I don't think a draw is the worst result but obviously hoping for 3.

Dolan has been brilliant too. Clever play and drawn countless fouls on top of a brilliant assist. Well done young man

You can hear the commentators now "lucky to be on the pitch and finds the back of the net"

That's a second yellow for Basham. Bulshit.

Was very good first half too. Works his bollox off and has ability too.

Let's put the Sammie debate to bed...he's a breathe of fresh air and a tidy baller, a solid addition and happy to have him on board.

That's fuckin immense from Sorba! Well done lad. Brilliant.

Has to hit the target

Buckley has to do better. Very poor.

Why are we in such a rush to take our throw ins, especially when there is nothing on. Relax a bit and manage the game.

Undercooked pass from Buckley nearly got Dolan cut in half.

Game not suited to him at all but reckon he will see him at some point.

We can't rely on them being as wasteful in the second half. Need to impose ourselves a bit more and stop the constant wave from them. Happy enough with the tactics but need to up it a bit and be alot smarter with the ball.

Fucking grind this out and it's a massive massive result.
