Phew.

[Lurid Coat]

Barnsley 0 - 6 Charlton

[Stuart]

Nice goal from Watford!

[neophox]

Stable 2-0 win, brilliant!!!!!

[Oklahoma]

finally

[Devon Rover]

Really important win. Well done, Rovers. Now on to Tuesday - an even bigger match after today's results.

[Stuart]

Sandomierski has been brilliant today!!

+1

Made one awful mistake in the first half but was excellent otherwise. I'd have given him MoM instead of Dann.

[neophox]

Barnsley got Stephen Dawson and Tom Kennedy got sent off, and lost 0-6.....it will be tough.

[Clitherover]

Great win, weren't expecting it. Given ourselves a fighting chance.

Win on Tuesday and things look very different all of a sudden.

[Lathund]

Win for the first time in like 10 games, clean sheet, and out of the relegation zone (albeit barely) again. Hoping this can give us some momentum to get a result on Tuesday as well.

[neophox]

The big pole was terrific today.

We will need it against Hudds....

Think Rekik will relish the chance to get a Place in the team and to show Man City....

Also think King or Cameron Stewart could come in for Kazim next game.

[adopted scouser]

In Manchester, in the rain and we've won a game. I repeat, we've won a game

[rovers11]

YESSS get in!!! badly needed that. Dreadful day for Wolves and Barnsley. Really fancied those two to win today.

Sounded like there was a lot of passion and commitment today and the crowd cheered every challenge and really got behind the team.

A few scares but sounded relatively comfortable. Happy tonight.

Surely time for the return of Givet?! Probably King in for Kazim on Tuesday.

[Lurid Coat]

Givet simply has to play v Huddersfield if match fit (both mentally and physically). No two ways about it.

[T.J.Newton]

I wonder if Givet will get a start alongside Dann for the next couple, Could do with a final Swan song(2 big performance) from him before he leaves us.

p.s. id be sick to the guts(though not surprised) if Orr got put in there at cb though and Rekic would be a massive unnecessary risk(when we have givet there).

[Lathund]

Did Hanley actually get booked though?

Skysports, BBC and livescore all have Williamson and CKR being booked, not Hanley.

[Clitherover]

We're not that far behind them with a game in hand, this division is so crazy it's a possibility.

[Howler]

we needed that. A loss given hudds and pbrough winning would have been a calamity, Was it a good performance or if people are saying the goalkeeper should have been MoM, does that mean we were lucky?

[bigbrandjohn]

phew.Must say while the points are welcome, i am still smarting from the fact that i am not freezing my nuts off at Wembley this afternoon with real pop at the final.

[Oklahoma]

Highly doubt Givet will play for Rovers again.

Next game, Rekik and King in for Hanley and CKR.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Did Hanley actually get booked though?

Skysports, BBC and livescore all have Williamson and CKR being booked, not Hanley.

The commentator said when he got booked, he put his shirt over his head because he knew what was coming.

[RoyRover]

Massively relieved to get the win. We were desperate for the three points. If we can follow this up with a win against Huddersfield, we will have given ourselves a good chance of survival. How Givet isn't in the team is beyond me. Josh Morris in the team at left back over him? You only have to look at how unbalanced our squad is by looking at the bench. We had 4 strikers on it, a midfielder who can run (or do anything anymore) and a defender who isn't allowed to play!

[EWOODACE1]

Hanley should never have been booked. We played well today and Rhodes could have scored more. We actually created chances but still sat too deep.

Hanley and dann were excellent but they had the most obvious penalty ever waved away.

Worried that Hanley is out for 2 games. My player of the season so far
