11 points in 6 games is hard enough never mind the fact there are 3 teams 11 points above us not just one

Perfect day for Raya :)

A 3-0 away win. Cant ask for more than that. Being against Leeds is a bonus.

What a shame our last two home games put paid to our chances.

Do you think maybe there was an element of playing for their replay places?

I seem to remember people posting criticism of the previous home games, saying that the players didn't look bothered.

Possibly. I'm trying to work out if the away supporters just enjoying the occasion without expectation is a factor. Home fans need to have something to cheer about before they get going. Saying that, playing 10 men regularly can help matters.

Anything but a Kilgallon - Baptiste partnership on Weds will be a travesty but who knows who Bowyer will pick. Part of our problem has been a lack of consistency from the manager; preferring to pick a specific team to "suit the opposition" rather than to win a game (by having other teams worry about us). I wouldn't mind so much if Bowyer had got results that way but when it mattered - against any decent teams - he hasn't.

It's interesting when you consider Bryan Dabo's comments that Bowyer apparently told him that he preferred to play those players who will be at Rovers the following season. The fact that Baptiste and Spearing are among our best performers suggest that they will be offered deals but who knows.

I know it's hindsight, but why play him in a meaningless game?

poor management. No need to take risks

You could have said the same about any of the regular starters though. Why play Baptiste? Kilgallon? marshall etc etc.

Radio Lancashire.

Brown's injured now. At least that's something.

The thought of him plodding on Wednesday, was depressing me.

Stupid comment from somebody who obviously knows nothing about the game. If Rudy is out we needed Brown to play in that position because no one else is suitably equipped to provide flick ons when needed and to hold the ball up when needed. Brown is slow but he is a handful when the ball is in the air which most Prem teams hate. I'm quite looking forward to seeing Brown and King playing together against a team that plays a high line.

Rover Legend! We should never have let him go.......................the 2nd biggest mistake Rover's have ever made - after the non-signing of Robert Lewandowski.

No big deal really when you consider Leeds are our whipping boys these days. They just love to self destruct v us. Life is sweet tonight. Any beating of these Yorkshire puds ranks high in a season :)

Apologies, Gordon.

I obviously know nothing :P

How he's not at a bigger club, I'll never know.

What an asset Chris Brown has been for us.

I'm sure he'll really terrify the Liverpool defence.

He'll hold the ball up, dominate in the air,be a constant menace and if he gets a chance, he'll most probably take it.

A really enjoyable day out.

Sat in middle of Leeds fans and a winning £10 bet on Rovers winning 3-0.

Getting a weenie bit squiffy and lots of £££'s in?

Enjoyed the game today. Thank you to all the rovers fans traveling to Leeds and creating a great atmosphere. I tried to sing along to as manat songs as I knew

Glad you enjoyed it Puffsan....all credit to you.

Someone tweeted that Taylor was impressive when he came on. Then again the same person also said he scored.

Anyone comment on him and O'Sullivan?
