Or something like 'tell that f****** conman he owes me 60 grand'.

Last season Tomasson has the measure of Martin as we did the double over Swansea. In the away match we sat in with a four and a five when they had the ball and the press was more intense when they crossed the half way line. We scored three on the counter and limited them to next to nothing. I think Tomasson will come up with a similar game plan with the emphasis on countering.

Rory Finneran is the youngest ever player in a match day squad for Rovers. Has he got massive feet or is it just the perspective of the picture? 😂😂

Scott Wharton was struggling with an injury just before he was substituted. His movement was definitely impaired although I noticed him on the pitch at full time. Hopefully precautionary as I thought last night was his best game for some time.

Moran and Szmodics each had a passing accuracy of around 67%. Woefully inadequate.

What a strange evening out that was. I'm delighted with the win as ever and it was a huge three points in light of the two defeats and a tough game coming up on Saturday. The irony is I believe that was one of our worst performances of the season and we have played much, much better and lost. In the first half I lost count of the number of awful touches from many players and the misplaced passes, we are far better than that. Going in at half-time one up was a real bonus for me. The second goal should have been game over and a nice, easy second half by just doing the basics right. We gifted them a goal, they made some positive substitutions and we were on the back foot and defending for our lives. Quite simply we almost shot ourselves in the foot with absolute carelessness and could quite easily have thrown two points away. Thankfully we held on and we really had Leo to thank for that. Tonight reminded of the Birmingham game when we were coasting at 3-0, should have had a clean sheet and nearly blew it. Tomasson should be alarmed by these two games and our switching off and almost throwing away what should have been comfortable victories. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh as it looked like the run of games finally caught up with some of our players. Significantly five of our outfield players were literally on their knees when the final whistle went. Butt most importantly we won. 😁😁

I'm happy to see that Nakhi Wells is out for them. He always seems to excel against us.

Excellent - super effort by everyone concerned but particularly the drivers.

Did I miss something yesterday. We started with Leonard and Szmodics up front. Last time I checked they were strikers.

I have a completely different definition of outclassed. We had some really good opportunities to score particularly from set pieces in the second half. The possession stats are in our favour as are shots and corners. Beaten, yes. Outclassed, never.

Well act it then.

Bloody hell how old are you?

But they didn't outclass us, that is simply wrong. We were always in the game and unfortunately got punished for some careless moments. You have singled out Carter but I thought he was really good today and our best defender. He defended well, stepped forward into midfield and even ran down the left wing. The way we play means that sometimes we will take risks and it's been like that for a good while now. Personally I am both accepting and enjoying it when it comes off. It's clear we are miles away in our opinions of how we played and simply cannot come anywhere near agreeing.

Tomasson's take on today.

With Sheffield United winning they draw level on points with that lot but have an inferior goal difference. If Everton best Chelsea tomorrow they will be seven points ahead of them and they play each other next Saturday.

Or don't buy tickets for away fans in home areas. The responsibility lies with the idiot who bought them.

But it shouldn't happen and somebody could get hurt. If any Rovers fans have bought those tickets for the three Leeds fans they should be banned.

Summed up perfectly.

I noticed some fighting in the corner of the Riverside followed by a few ejections. It's crazy to me that some Rovers fans will jeopardise other supporters safety.

The perspective I meant was how much the Leeds team cost against ours. They have parachute payments and in August could afford to turn down a near £19m offer for Gnonto. Leeds weren't great because we didn't allow them to be. For long periods we were their equal and at times better. You are correct about having your right to an opinion but others have too.

As I said everyone is entitled to their opinion but your assertion of not playing very well puts you in a minority. I dislike losing but surely there has to be some perspective in anybody's opinion.

Rovers fans buying tickets for Leeds fans in home areas? That contravenes the ticketing regulations and in the past I think Rovers have banned supporters for doing this. It is irresponsible and simply shouldn't happen. You are right about it being difficult for the club but the Rovers fans doing it are bang out of order.

Each to their own but there is very little of your post I agree with. In fact you have decimated pretty much the whole team.

I thought we played well today and against a lesser team would have won. Leeds are a good side with pace in their front three which was one of the reasons they beat us in my opinion. We played some good stuff with Adam Wharton as the fulcrum of these moments as we matched them for long periods. We seem to be punished for mistakes at the moment and a sloppy pass from Tronstad gave them the ball and Hill should have done better. From my position we should have had a clear penalty for a foul on Garrett and the well positioned referee quickly turned it down, far too quick in my view. Why on earth would Garrett to down when he is about to shoot? I couldn't see the handball from my seat but the players were vociferous in their protests. For some perspective they bring two substitutes on who they paid £25m for. We have on our bench kids with single digit or no first team appearances.

Tomasson is banned from the Technical Area tomorrow. Where have you seen this?
