Agree Neal. Leonards movement was brilliant today and like Rhodes always seems to be in the right place. Sometimes it's just a knack that can't be taught. Hope he carries on working hard and performs when he gets the chance. JDT will know how to bed him in that's for sure

As I watched him play he reminded me of a more mobile 'Rhodes' if I'm honest 

Absolutely love the determination and grit of this team...

Jdt is key, we have been punching well above our weight ever since he joined! 

Quick question chaps, assuming continue to use last seasons physical season ticket? 

Last season I said I would be happy with coming in around 12th given the youngsters we were blooding.

This season as it stands (with no new additions) I would say 14-17th.

With 2 x new additions I think top 6.

Personally think all three kits look excellent, great variety in the 2nd and 3rd and outside the red and black stripes these are the perfect kits for me! Well done Rovers, just need to fund some players to wear them now! 

Had a friend who was a Derby fan, couldn't speak highly enough of Rooney.. I wouldn't rule him out as a viable option 

Brilliant performance from Rovers tonight, but we lost it in the previous 8 games.. 

I'm hoping this will be an invaluable lesson for this squad and we kick on next season..

The team pinched higher than expected, we keep the youngsters add some quality and we will be good! 

Better without Travis in the middle? 

Genuinely think the chances of keeping JDT are very low.. his stock is high as he's taken an average team / squad to the brink of the play offs.. without mich backing

I'd love some genuine pace in the front 4 too.

Burnley played on the half way line because they had zero fear of Dolan / Brereton-Diaz / Hedges running in behind them.

Agreed, wonder why Markanday wasn't recalled... always impressed me, think jdt has scored an own goal given our threadbare attacking options 

Yesssssssssssss

Most other results went for us...  God knows how we are still in the top 6... something tells me we have a lucky manager (just check all the in game stats) the question is would you prefer a lucky manager or a brilliant one...

Embarrassing since we went down! Grow some balls lads!!!!

Hedges needs to be more clinical 

Utterly embarrassing all round.  Just seen it on the BBC football home page.

For me this can never ever happen again, Broughton has used up all his 8 lives on this one.

We have to be excellent in the moments that matter, especially given we can't match budget, we have to have better values and behaviours than others, like the times of John Williams.

Perfectly normal to be hurt, gutted and annoyed but honestly don't see the point in looking for people to blame.. even though its human nature..

As I've said over and over again.. JDT has got this group punching way above their weight.. yes on many occasions the true capability of this team comes through (see last year / years also).

Best season in years, yes loads of warts, but who hasn't..  with a few additions we will be a top 6 'quality' team..

Just listened back (FA Cup build-up program on BBC Sounds, from about 20 mins in) and it’s weird. Presenter made no mention of JDT leaving and he basically implied people are interested in JDT.

Would honestly be very upset about him leaving, but I can’t say I’d blame him if a Premiership team came in. Money to spend, etc. We’ve not been working with much and we can’t seem to work with what we do get, anyway.

Yes exactly that, was absolutely no need to mention it.. was just asked about us as a club and then JDT as a coach.. all he had to do was big both up, pretty shocking in my opinion 

Morton just jogging back after losing it!!!! Grrrr

They are well on top here 

Anyone hear Greg Broughton interview on radio 5 Live before the game? He referenced 'if and when JDT leaves..' not sure on the wisdom on that?? 

I got the impression there was a reason he said it.. 

Very Jekyl and Hyde aren't we.. was a terrible watch, made worse by how bloody cold it was in Stoke..

I thought that Neil's comments before the game would be the perfect motivation for our lot, but we just laid back and perfected his narrative! 

Tactically Neil nailed JDT and mentally we were second best everywhere.. 3-2 massively flattered us, probably should have been 4-1..

All that said this is a 10-14th position team, so we are massively punching.  Play offs would be a huge achievement, we have to back JDT with at least 3 x new players and see where we get to next season.

Jrc has been brilliant since the Nottingham game!

I knew that was going to be the response! You know what I mean! 😀 

Anyone give any details of the kind of striker Leanord is please?
