Brentford (A) - Saturday 5.12.20

[yellowsubmarine]

Well done Rovers! And Davenport! I dont think its just 1 point he rescued for us. It feels like 3 points considering Brentford will be thereabout at the end of the season. Stops Brentford from getting too far ahead.

And piss off Lenihan.

[darrenrover]

Without the Wharton injury and Lenihan sending off, we'd have won that today.

In the circumstances, a brilliant, hard earned point.

[Gone to seed]

Well, despite what the Millwall hordes had to say on Weds Rovers are not actually a bunch of Can'ts - we are actually a bunch of CANs!!

[neophox]

Well Gally worked his socks off. Rothwell was immense and Davenport took his chance. Bell came on and was good.

Think we should go to Bristol City for a win.

Nyambe is our best Centre half, and Davenport is sensational

LOL, has he been switched to CB and had a blinder? Toney who.... 

[Butty]

Unbelievable. Get the f**k in. It’s only a point but feels like a win! 

[bluefred]

Shame dickhead lenihan cost us  all 3pts

[nuttyrover]

COYB! 12 vs 10 but we came away with a point! That never say die spirit could be the difference between Premier League football next season.

[neophox]

This is a teams game and we have a LOT of talent.

[Displaced Rover]

Class lads. I'm really positive we can kick on here. Last season we'd have got battered.

[Admiral Nelsen]

Miracle point. So proud of the effort today

[Paul Mani]

Cracking team this...Rich and Jaquob know the script. Wish more fans did!!

Take a fuckin bow lads. Bollocks the size of watermelons and a the managers performance within the match absolutely TOP class.

Millwall fans booed when the players took the knee. Millwall then lost. Bunch of cants.

Absolutely superb! A fantastic result and will surely be a boost going into the Bristol City match where we are favourites to win. 
Nyambe, Johnson and Gallagher were all outstanding today, honourable mention to Ayala too who had a good day and Davenport for a solid cameo. Buckley was thrown in the deep end at RB, not the right decision in my view, but he was very good going forward, suspect defensively as you’d expect and that led to the goal.

Brentford look a decent way off the quality they’ve shown in last 2 years but they’ll be up there at the end of the season. We were by far the better side for 30 mins and they did nothing after their 2nd goal too. 

We seem to have a different mentality this year and the work rate has stepped up a level. 

Always a rollercoaster away to Brentford!! Their current crop of players seem very hard to like.

Rovers committed 8 fouls and recieved SIX cards (5 yellow, 1 red)...

Ref must be gutted his beloved Bees didn't win. Brentford do not look like contenders. 

Proud of the team that ended that game! Douglas, Armstrong and Lenihan not so much.

Stop with the constant digs and just enjoy it. Jeez.

[Mr. E]

feels like a win for sure!

No idea who what team we can put on next time but we take this result for sure

[Paul Mellelieu]

As good a second half as we have played, given the circumstances.  And Buckley was superb at right back.

 

A very happy Rover.

[tomphil]

Superb point.

First off, another useless Championship home loving whistle blower, some of these goons need investigating. That wasn't inept it was blatant favouritism !

Manager got the late subs right there and the mental strength that is clearly new this season was in evidence again. Sets us up nicely in spirit and belief for the next one if not in numbers.

[Miker]

Not really sure what to say. So proud of the boys today!  It's a massive performance and result to get that point with a patched up 10-man side. Subs were absolutely bizarre, but Buckley, Davenport and Dolan all combined for that equaliser, so what the hell do I know.

Results elsewhere went decent for us as well. We're still within touching distance of the top 6 with Bristol and Watford losing.

Do we know if Williams might be available for Wednesday?

[Tugay-is-God]

Loved the way Dolan was just covering ever blade of grass in those last few minutes closing down their entire back line

[AllRoverAsia]

Well done! playing against 11 Bitches and a Dog(shit) whistle.

I made so much noise when we equalised that the neighbour came round, said he thought I was being attacked.

A truly wonderful point gained.

[WacoRover]

I’m elated at a point today. A point might have been we could have hoped for, even if we had all 11 the entire game. 

So, Does Davenport deserve a runout, with alll the injuries, etc?

That is brilliant result! We'd have gone to pieces last season. 

What is really pleasing is maintaining our GD. Last season it would have been wiped out today.
