Sit back and relax.  This one's in the bag.

As I said.............................

Will hold my hands up I didn’t see this coming after the past two matches and after seeing our lineup pre match. Fantastic to see Dack and Graham back on song - crucial they fired again and they have. Big win.

Graham and Dack auditioning for lead roles in brokeback mountain 2

StrokeDack mountain?

DACK

great win rovers,  one sloppy goal aside i thought we were brilliant, cant help there first as its a stunner from lucas, but we were great today, conway was immense and should start most games tbh, reed brilliant and dack and graham back to there best, great pressing and some good football at times too, get in rovers great three points

[matt83]

After qpr I was eyeing up the top of the league and thought 7-9 pts vs Rotherham, pne and Wigan. 1 point later and that team I was worried. What do I know. 

First time won by more than a goal in the league I think.

ps. Who hit our last hat trick?

[tugayislegend]

Conway has been absolutely instrumental in the win today, holding the ball up at times, linking with dack, not losing the ball at all! He put in a 110% effort and was the link between defence and forward players. Was annoyed when I saw him in the line-up, but he has proved all his doubters wrong today! Can't praise him enough!

Absolutely

Important win today after the last 2 non-performances. Why can't they show passion like that every week?

On the downside another 2 goals conceded. Mowbray would do better to spend money on a top defensive coach rather than new players next month

Rovers winning and Burnley losing makes for a great weekend. Still work to be done sorting out our leaky defence though.

One was a stunner from Joao. Not sure anyone could have done any better in that situation.

The second was a freakish goal. Probably Raya should have done better, clearing the ball away from goal. But can't blame much of our defence today. Even Williams wasn't that bad.

the second was poor from our point of view but the first was a worldie  i actually thought we were really solid today and was pleased with how downing played

Don’t let the scoreline fool you that wasn’t even close.

A good old fashioned pasting.

Same again next week!

[Roboftherovers82]

look everyone now happy as larry at 2.40pm u was all crying you should give the team a chance instead of murdering them before we even kicked the ball 

[West Yorks Rover]

Very surprised that the 1st sub didn't come until the 86th minute, I thought Conway would be knackered by half-time, very well done to him.

If only he was 5 years younger !

Well what can we say, Conway was a breath of fresh air today and has now definitely staked his claim for that left side spot over Armstrong. Downing ala Beckanbauer was fabulous in his role for one of the goals and pretty solid at the back. Reed the usual energy and all over the place at times and most importantly, Dack and Graham have reconciled and are now back kissing eachother.

Feared the worst when I saw Conway in, great effort by him so well done Craig lad.  Much needed win.

Wish Danny was younger too!

4-0 would have been more of a reflective score line. We were excellent, they were abysmal. 

Graham and Dack the stars of the show, but Conway and Downing made a huge difference. I don’t understand why downing has been frozen out for most of the season, he’s always done well when he’s played. 

[tomphil]

If he starts about once a month Conway could probably produce like that also TMs management of Graham in recent weeks bore fruit today. What a pity there isn't another similar to him in the squad to fill in......

[AdamRochina]

going  to do some of my own opinion player ratings  feel free to criticise or agree lol

 

raya - 6  not much to do but was poor on the second goal

nyambe -7  powerful runner but sometimes lacks composure, always an outlet though

downing - 8 solid performance didnt really put a foot wrong all day, good back up cb

mulgrew- 7 solid again and was talking his defense through the game and organising

williams - 6 was targeted alot and without conway might have struggled more but solid enough

conway - 9 immense today, his crossing was top notch and his passing and holding the ball was super

evans and smallwood - 7 did there job both the same to me, solid enough won the ball alot and tried to be the link from defense to attack

reed - 7 hes a pest and wont stop running all game but wasted out wide for me, brilliant player though one i wish we sign permantley 

dack - 8 some great touches and a nice assist and goal was almost back to his best today really good performance

graham -10  hatrick hero, hold up play flick ons right place right time, he was super and shows how much we need this man, great game graham

Agreed, he won't be able to put that sort of effort and energy every week
