Bloody brilliant. 2 players both in need of goals, should help their confidence going into the final games of the season. Good goal by Dack? 

A good move , got into right position, a calm and collective finish after first attempt

[Stuart]

Dacky ???

[LDRover]

Superb performance. Completely outplayed Derby. 

[K-Hod]

Well happy with this result. Credit where it's due Mowbray and team, superb.

That's two mid week games I've missed, we've won 3-0 and 2-0.

Strictly Saturdays for me from now on.....

[SBlue]

Never in doubt.

 

Fantastic performance.

One of the best of the season straight after one of the worst.

Football, eh?

[jim mk2]

Mowbray in, er out, in, out, in, out, in.....

That's a mighty 7 points out of 36, and a rare clean sheet.  Contract extension tomorrow ? 

Derby must be sick at that result. Puts a severe dent in their promotion ambitions

As for Rovers,  and forgetting Mowbray, are the players cheating fans for not playing like that all the time? 

 

[davulsukur]

A stunning victory and a great performance from the team. 

No idea why Mowbray has ever started Smallwood or Evan's over Travis/Reed.

[BankEnd Rover]

Mowbray has learn from this! Surley this is the midfield we've been missing all season!? My opinion of Mowbray will change if he keeps this up! However not getting too ahead of myself...

[joey_big_nose]

Great result. I absolutely didn't expect it. 

Derby were surprisingly poor, but we played very well second half.

There is definitely a correlation between when Mulgrew doesn't play and an improvement in our results. Let's stick with the same XI next game.

[CD_93]

Great performance. Amazing midfield. We need consistency now. Something we have lacked for a long time. If it flips back the other way on Saturday I'll be disappointed.

Magnificent in the end

[neophox]

Best performerance this season along with WBA win! This team is the one to start with rest of games. Maybe try Brereton and give Graham a rest and give Conway and Armstrong a half each rest of season.

[MarkBRFC]

Don't get me wrong ive enjoyed tonight, but i'll bet anyone here anything that Smallwood & Evans will be back in the side on Saturday and we'll be 2-0 down after 30 mins.

Everything is so predictable relating to Rovers at the minute.

[Mercer]

Much, much better.

It's simple Mowbray:

• You play your best players (Reed, Travis, Rothwell etc) and not your 'favourites' (Evans, Smallwood)
• You put your players in their best position - Reed is a central midfielder and not a feckin wide man

Delighted for Rothwell.  When I first saw him, it was obvious he had something, there was a spark, an energy, a creativeness.  Conversely, I see nothing in Brereton.  The contrast is so stark.  Posted about Rothwell's potential and my opinion of Brereton (think he's a very expensive dud) so many times.

I kind of feel like for months all we’ve wanted to do is win the lottery and it finally occurred to the management to buy ticket. 

[Oldgregg86]

Superb tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. 

If mowbray reverts to type Saturday I think my head will explode. Hopefully with everything crossed he has learned alot from tonight and it helps us move forward as a team for the remainder of this and next season

Well played blues

[LDRover]

The thing is, the manager should get plaudits for team selection and tactics but in reality this is the team he should have been picking for weeks

It's quite staggering really.

What did we sign Rothwell for, like 250k?

BB on the other hand...

[pick32]

He picked the midfield pairing the fans wanted and what a difference.

personally I would of had nyambe and Armstrong for Bennet and Conway before the match, but his selection was bang on and what a performance

This smacks of Mowbray flailing around hoping to stumble upon a winning team. Very reminiscent of Bowyer's tombola.

The fans obviously know best.

Special mention to Darragh Lenihan too - he was absolutely outstanding.

And....my original comment was hardly a criticism of the team more of the manager stumbling from one idea to another and hoping he has it right for a change. 

Nice to know you follow me so closely though bud.
