There's alot of revisionism on Dolan here. He's a flawed player with an average scoring record and, like all players, is replaceable. I'd rather he stayed but won't be shedding any tears if he goes.

Dolan's upturn in form has coincided very neatly with his contract talks this summer - or is that a cynical view? He's no doubt played well the last few games but dearie me, he's had some real stinkers this season, including a few that I've seen, and I'm sure if you look back on the thread over the course of the season there would have been plenty of fans calling for him to be sold. Have to say I'm ambivalent whether he stays or not but on the basis that he might finally be emerging into a half decent Championship player and is unlikely to be replaced were he to leave, then you have to hope he and the club can come to an agreement.

☹️ That's that then. I'm glad we couldn't get tickets for Bramall Lane now

Manchester City would be the perfect move for Wharton. Guardiola’s precision pass and move game is made for him, though he would have to work a lot harder than he does at present. Pep is a fan and City will be busy in the transfer market this summer so it could happen sooner rather than later

Proud's the wrong word IMO after all the defeats and abject performances this season but yes, it has to be acknowledged we've done well to be in contention from where we were 5 games ago

FT 2-1. Amazingly, after all the defeats and disappointments and upheaval, it goes to the last game

I'd give POTS to Brittain, but Tronsted certainly in the running

And there it is..... easy win game apparently

We went to the game at Vicarage Road which Rovers were unlucky to lose to a soft penalty (handball against Hedges IIRC) so it will be interesting to see how we go. Watford were unimpressive in that game and with confidence recovering after 3 successive wins we ought to win hopefully to keep us in outside playoff contention to the final game. Let’s be optimistic Rovers 2 Watford 0

Farewell and thank you for the memories Mick McGrath, an old-fashioned left half and key member of the Rovers team of 1962-64, the best I ever saw to wear the famous blue and while halves. Like Den said, it was a privilege to watch that team RIP.

Tronstad's 2nd goal and Rovers' 4th was technically brilliant. Anyone's who played the game will tell you it's very difficult to get a good first-time connection on the ball with the right foot to a pass or cross coming in from the right (same applies to the left). Tronstad did it perfectly with an excellent strike Totally unexpected performance and win today, especially by that margin against a form team. Has Ismael finally got to grips with this team (and vice versa)? Let's hope so.

Brentford and Bournemouth as established top flight clubs - who would have thought that 60 or even the more recent past? They were bog standard fourth division clubs when I were a lad. Hats off to them but it just shows what brilliant management and organisation can do and why Rovers fans should never accept our fate as a "small town" club. Same for Burnley too - it pains us to say it but they are a very well run club. Meanwhile the agony goes on at Ewood. It was good to hear the Venky's Out and anti-Waggott songs at Kenilworth Road on Saturday but supporters need to keep up the pressure on Friday and every match to the end of the season.

Millwall need to win and will be coming to attack - which gives us a chance as our best chance of scoring goals is on the breakaway. If Millwall go ahead I would suggest that will be it - we just don't have the quality or the skill to unlock packed defences.

Loyalties split because I wanted them both to win. Rose should have won so much more in his career - that's 3 Masters runners-up now plus one at the Open. Amid all the accolades for McIlroy Rose's 66 yesterday was a brilliant round. Good to see the Europeans at the top of the leaderboard in Ryder Cup year

Mentioned it last night but would like to highlight again the huge shift that Dolan put in. He's not my favourite player and I've seen him have some real stinkers but he worked his socks off to plug the gap after Montgomerie's sending off. He should have passed to Gueye in the breakaway though - and that's why he will always be a flawed player. Talking of Gueye I thought his body language was poor and he looked like he was sulking for not being in the starting XI. He had his own selfish moment too when he did 2 or 3 stepovers and shot for goal when he should have passed to Rovers players in better positions. Obviously a pleasing result and it was well deserved but, oh dear, we're still a very hard team to watch and it's also important to remember we were only the width of the woodwork away from a 2-1 defeat
