I’m trying to catch up on team news, it’s been a busier week than normal. I see Scott Wharton is back in, Ayala & Dack still out. This game is a big challenge for Rovers, all three points would be a huge boost. Defending has been more than I could ask for (only allowed 4 goals in last 8 league games), even a 1-1 result would be welcome.

ShefU wanted this game… no mistake about it. And, a huge traveling support. They gave effort, but in the end, they weren’t as skillful. I expect to see a similar effort at Stoke on Friday. COYB! 16,464.

This establishes Rovers as a definite factor in playoffs, if not automatic promotion. Defending has been excellent, we get goals when we need ‘em. With Tomasson’s leadership, every man doing his job, and the carrot out there to be had, it’s gonna be a heart-pounding finish to the season.

Breakaway goal at 5’, excellent defending the rest of the game. Everybody for MotM. I am absolutely elated!

YES!!! Victory

Hedges, not smart foul

Absolutely frantic, scrambling to defend…

+4 min somebody in stands needs med attention

All filthy players

Hedges & BB-D coming on

Just love the fire & intensity from our guys

Hits wood, oh man…

Dolan’s best attribute, you know you always get 100% effort.

Basham, no touch whatsoever

Beautiful fast break & finish. well done, lads!

Tomasson has done an admirable job, and if he stays around, I feel better about the future. alright, tomorrow: I won’t say a “ must win” situation, in terms of if we lose, the seasons over, and everything has been a failure, but if Rovers can’t get a point vs blades, I think we can kiss automatic promotion goodbye, and maybe the playoffs. This one is important for several reasons, but the main one, is the blades are our competition for a spot. We can cut into their advantage a bit with a win, we can stay in the picture with a point. The dingles are promoting, that much is clear. We need to be at least as good as blades, M’bro, Luton, etc. If we can’t get at least a point, I’m afraid we’ve seen the movie before, & know the unhappy ending.

Gav, I agree with everything you say, except… dingles are way above everybody else. And, get a great job every time from Kompany. Begrudgingly, I cede automatic promotion to them (& wish for a quick trip back down)

Oops! Wrong thread! Apologies… Eight games without a loss, I would be content to see that streak continue. Especially vs this bunch. We've had some trouble beating blades. It would be wonderful to take it at them tomorrow. I remember one of our first games under Tomasson. We were really flooding opposing passing lanes, and got a quick, easy goal. I’d love to see this again.

Ahem…obviously, I repent of my earlier prediction.

Love the effort by the team today. Great job, Rovers!!!

This, and WHU… pretty close call. I’d rate this a tad better, no BB-D, Thomas, or Dack.

Sammie, I love ya!!!

Hedges, won’t get a chance like that again

I’m loving the effort. Everybody busting his backside, to make a play.

YES! Get in, Dolan
