What I enjoy most, whether by design or otherwise, is the volume of young lads that have come to age with the club getting results. Most of the starting 11 and 18 each week have been with Rovers since they were teenagers. Almost all have played with the 23s many with the 18s. About time we’ve given the kids a chance to shine.

Gritty result. Under the conditions easily could have lost to a less talented team.

Complete wanker

He must be having a laugh.

Probably should have been a PK.

I’d probably get sent off if we’re out there

Might be the worst officiated game I’ve seen. Absolute nightmare

Replay shows an elbow to the head,no?

Get in! Great ball and even better finish!

This ref is a tosser!

Actually thankful Ayala is, seem the type of conditions he’d certainly get hurt in

Not sure wing backs make much sense either. It’s not like they’re able to carry the ball up the flank in these conditions. Dolan to pressure the back line of PNE and force mistakes.

We’e also been beaten to nearly every second ball. The conditions suits them.

Not sure what was worse that half, the pitch, the red or our play.

Not sure what game the ref is watching.

The ball got held up by the puddles. it’s going to be ugly mistakes for goals today

There’s a difference between whether he IS replaceable and whether WE can replace him. While I don’t doubt there are alternatives out there I do doubt our ability to spot and sign them.

Nor the fact that he's still our only and best recognized right back. So currently our best RB cant pass, head or cross but if he goes what where does that leave us? And don't tell me we can bring someone better in...we've been short of bodies in back ever since TM promised defenders are coming.

With so many premier clubs interested in BBD why not sell him and loan him back through the end of the campaign? Like what we did with Pickering. Book the sale, let him continue to flourish and see if he can help preserve chemistry to push on for promotion. I’m not sure he’s premier league ready as he’s really only played a prominent role for 4 months.

Brilliant performances all around. Back 3 solid all night. Buckley absolutely brilliant outing. Buzzing at the moment. Up to 4th.

Fantastic result that!

Davenport on for Rothwell

Dolan on an laboring. Rothwell getting looked at.

Looks like his side. Maybe an oblique. He didn’t seem eager to come off, so hopefully it’s minor.

So glad he left Khadra on…shows why I’m on the sofa.
