2 away wins under PL, bloody take that. Look what a PROPER manager brings you... Results. Look to the future and all that but imagine where we'd be if they'd have done the right thing and appointed him in the summer?

[Mr. E]

Sounds like a heck of a scrappy game...but good we're pushing through until January comes along.

Just how bad we we doing before though if we STILL can't break mid table?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Great result!

[AllRoverAsia]

Great win away. Well done the PL Teams :)

[The Rover of Finland]

Things are going our way now.

[LewisF]

Also heard on the radio that Brown did a "wonderful backheel". What is going on?!

[Husky]

TOP TOP TOP TOP TOP of the bottom OF THE LEAGUE!

[Dan]

Way too much positivity here, I'm feeling positive too! With a little more luck we'd be on 3 wins out of 3, but 7 points from 9 with two away games is fantastic [emoji4]

[Tallrover]

Been a while since I've felt this optimistic at 5pm on a Saturday.

Cherry on the cake with the Dingles losing also.

Look at it this way (if's and but's I know) if we had hung on last week and won, and Cardiff hadn't have got a later winner today, we would be 2 points off the play offs!!

[LDRover]

Paul Lambert had a dream,

To build our football team,

He couldn't sign any players but he didn't care,

He plays from the back,

With Rhodes in attack,

We're Blackburn Rovers WE'RE ON OUR WAY BACK

Love that chant, would be great if we used it.

[G Somerset Rover]

Get in. Onwards and upwards.

[AllRoverAsia]

PL is building it - and they will come!

[blueboy3333]

terrific win. only about 5 from the play-offs now. A couple more quick wins and things will be looking a lot better,

Rhodes is a worry. Not sure if he missed chances today but Lambert may see him as replaceable if he doesn't start converting. January could be interesting,

Up the Rovers

[Neal]

Just speculating but... Dyche to Swansea?

[West Yorks Rover]

Before PL, 11 points off the top 6, 3 games later 5 points off.

I'll take a bit of luck, well done to PL and the lads plus the 953 who made the long journey down.

And if we had removed bowyer earlier.................

Hindsight mate. T'is a wonderful thing! Let's give credit where it's due. On the road to recovery and I for one couldn't be more chuffed! Enjoy the win

Enjoy the Weekend Boys and Girls!

[bigbrandjohn]

Giving everyone a chance as well gives more competition for places and greater feeling of involvement. All good.

Well we've certainly got the chance. We're pretty much playing twice next weekend.

[chaddyrovers]

Just speculating but... Dyche to Swansea?

Maybe Warburton?

Odds on favourite for the Swansea next manager according to Betvictor

[DE.]

Rotherham and Forest at home next... could easily be looking at 13 points out of 15 by next Monday, which would be incredible.

[Neal]

Just shows with Rhodes not scoring how important it is that there rest of the team chip in with goals to get results, I find that one of the most encouraging things to happen under PL.

I know Lambert has been saying where he wants to strengthen and where we are weak etc... but where exactly do you strengthen if the current squad keep getting results till January?

[adsfortheblues]

And if we had removed bowyer earlier.................

I know, frustrating to think that isn't it mate. However we building, 2 winnable home games coming up (Rotherham and Forest) in the space of 4 days, then the Christmas period. Reading away, tough but no great shakes, Boro at home is a bonus game and then Bolton away, another one we should be looking to win. From those 5 games if we can pick up say 10 points I would be happy and then we would be into January and Lambert will have chance to add some quality!

[Mercer]

Said it was nailed on today.

Belief, organisation, confidence and momentum. We have taken off. Onwards and upwards. In Lambert we trust.

This is what Saturday nights used to be like. Looking forward to spending my winnings.

Rovers now down to 25/1 for promotion (40/1 pre Preston when my money went on, 33/1 pre Owls) - get your money on still a great bet !

We've almost got our Rovers back.
