Better start than on saturday. Buckley making a difference with his forward passing.

Have a feeling he’s being saved for easier opposition at home

2-1 full time. Not a convincing win but I’ll take it

5min added

Dack on for Diaz

Carter on for Hedges

2-1 now

Triple change for Millwall. Some guy with fairy lights in his hair coming on apparantly

Hirst and Szmodics on for Dolan and Gally

2-0 BBD from Morton corner

We’ve not been good until we stepped up the intensity after the break. This way of playing totally depends on high intensity.

Comedy defending but good work from Gallagher

Dolan!! 1-0

I don’t get it. Doesn’t JDT want the points?

Finally a rovers game. Come on!

Enjoying the interviews so far, GB looks a very competent director. Actions speak louder than words however and the more important reason for positivity is the forward thinking evident in successfully signing up out best young talents to long / very long contracts. This seems from the outside to be a drastic improvement on the previous regime and long may it continue.

You can usually tell which rovers have shown up after the first ten minutes but not so today, unusually «neutral» first half and I actually thought we would draw. The Luton manager made some changes at the break and we had no response whatsoever. Mid-table here we go.

Hirst and Brittain on, Carter and Dolan off

Playing very cautiously like we’re 1 up, not gonna create a lot of chances like this

Real promotion material that Middlesborough side

0-1 Conway after BBD have away the ball

Really don’t get the Pickering hate, he’s having a good game

Team news: Kaminski Travis Carter Hyam Pickering Morton A.Wharton Hedges Dack Diaz Hirst Bench: Pears, Mola, Edun, Phillips, Buckley, Dolan, Vale

My prediction is that Bristol City will play a lot better than Blackpool did. Still think we will win though, 3-1 with BBD, Hirst and Buckley to score. I don't think JDT wants to start A.Wharton again so soon, Buckley to come in. Kaminski Travis Hyam Ayala Pickering Buckley Morton Hedges Dack Diaz Hirst

I think it's simply down to fitness. JDT seems to demand players get up to high fitness levels before playing them if he can and Markanday isn't there yet.
