Leonards link up play is superb, just needs a few goals to get that confidence up!

Sum up Rovers start to season in one go with that attack. PUT THE BALL IN THE NET

2026 then?

3 points takes us into the top 6. It’d be a nice place to be ahead of a tough away trip to Ipswich

Huddersfield v Rotherham getting 19k shows how wrong those in power get it at our place. Sooner they're gone the better.

Thought we were outstanding for 60 minutes. A geriatric linesman cost us and made it worse than it needed to be. Think JDT has us on a level I can’t really believe looking at our squad. We’d be relegation fodder if we had the classic journeymen managers of the championship. Imagine if the owners backed him with a proper #9 and not a 4th division German. Love to see our overall xG on it I doubt that would suggest we were lucky at all, Dolan header, travis 8 yards out, Gallagher header, Dolan not pulling it back to Gallagher, Szmodics one on one alone, add in the penalty we should have had (which won’t be on xG) and probably other chances I’ve missed. Positives: Szmodics, Carter, Brittain, JRC off the bench Negatives: EFL officials, shakey Rovers making nervous decisions, Gallagher and Dolan making god awful decisions and even worse finishing Still think Leonard is our best option at number 9 3 points - love it. Few pints tonight, indulge in the dispatches scandal then MOTD

I won’t judge the German lad yet, but I can only assume his agent / a rovers fan edited his Wikipedia to suggest he ran 100m in 10 seconds 😂

Honestly can’t believe what I’ve seen the last 2 mins from the officials. We know they’re useless in this league but this is another level.

We’re playing superb, but JDT needs to be whistling over the German 4th div lad now and tell him to get his bib off. We can’t spend any longer watching Gallagher prance around upfront.

Poetic. Almost have a tear celebrating. What a time to score. Superb lads. For Matt.

Sam Gallagher how have you not stepped back onside there - absolutely nothing in between that lads ears. He even had time with Szmodics slipping a bit on first touch.

Playing some brilliant stuff so far. Brittain looking sharper, bodes well for options when we’re a fitter team

Ditto 😄

Dolan costing us early. Hopefully not the same outcome after Hedges missing the early sitter at Plymouth

Pears starts and Dolan back in for some reason 🤷‍♂️ 6 games in, a fortnight off, and still not a single summer signing in the starting 11. Can that window be rated anything higher than a 5/10?

Wahlstedt Brittain Carter Hyam Pickering JRC Wharton Hedges Szmodics Moran Telalovic Give the new lad a go up top, Moran to start ahead of Dolan, move JRC to midfield and finally drop Pears!

But, but, but, but, how would we survive without the generous Venkys?

Has this been confirmed now? Absolutely shocking if true that it was against JDTs wishes and in order to bring another in which failed. Does feel hard to believe given Buckley was last minute - but wouldn’t put it past our useless lot

Agree with all 4 of those to be fair. Here’s hoping we come out of the international break better than we did last December!!!

He only played about 60 or so minutes today - I actually thought he was one of our better players. Should have shot when he squared it to Szmodics though.

What?

He said we would have beaten them 4 times over. Think that translates to batter them myself

If you say so mate. Those two Pears cost us today worse than anything Kaminski did last night. We’re sticking with the wrong man - every stat said that last season when they played similar matches for us (Kaminski with a worse defence in front of him too), and it cost us a playoff place in the end, which I hold against JDT

Take the blue specs off mate come on. We didn’t batter them at all. 3 conceded to their 1.13 xG - another Pears masterclass.

Still 1-0 with Kaminski in net, and I’d imagine with the Swedish lad too. Obviously we still wouldn’t be able to stick the ball in the other net anyway
