Brentford (A) - Saturday 5.12.20

[Exiled in Toronto]

Terrific point, and it has to be said Mowbray out-managed their guy. That’s four points in four days magicked up by the subs. Personally I didn’t blame Buckley too much for the goal, Henry was on the overlap completely unmarked, and both Armstrong and Rothwell should have done better. Bucko did some great stuff in the last ten getting us well into their half. Davenport has a stormer and deserved his goal.

Amazing. What a point. People reckon Davenport can play. Begs the questoin.

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

Well said. I've never seen so much point scoring on a thread. Pathetic. 

[bigbrandjohn]

Put my CIS insurance training top on at half time for good luck. Took it off when Brentford scored. Coincidence?

Anyone  else have daft rituals to get us a result,  or am I on my own in the OCD Rovers fan club?

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? 

Nailed on if he can play centre half!

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.

It was 2012 vs 10.

[Darwen Rover 007]

Definitely a different rovers so far this season.. Great result!

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

He did. That famed Brentford front line and Toney in particular didn’t get much of a sniff in the 2nd half. Credit to Ayala and Johnson for marshaling and the experience to see things through

[Bbrovers2288]

Most unexpected point, absolutely superb from the lads out there, real batten down the hatches performance 

[BigBar]

Brilliant result and show of guts. The penalty doesn't sit well with me but it was sloppy from Darragh getting caught on his heels  so I am undecided on that. Johnson was brilliant and fair play to him for bollocking the ref on some of his shady decisions. 

Nyambe is a beast. Unreal performance.

Joe with a peach of a goal that didn't deserve to be amount to nothing in the end. Get in!!!

[Paul Mani]

Great point. Next game comes up quickly. Be interesting to see what we have left out the injuries and suspensions when the dust settles.

No. I have an old satin scarf that I used to wear round my wrist to games in the early seventies. I always take it with me to big games and we seldom lose. It's called the lucky scarf! (I wear it round my neck though!)

Mowbray should just say one thing the ref was utter shite? team spirit was there in adversity you can’t but admire the whole squad

[simongarnerisgod]

one of the best feelings ever as a fan,going to the **** end of nowhere,getting beat,down to ten men,situation hopeless then banging in a late equaliser/winner?

[4000Holes]

Cannot underestimate that result

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Massive amount of credit to Mogga and the coaching staff. The players seem to have developed much bigger bollocks this season along with a new playing style.  

[Exiled_Rover]

I thought that was a proper captaincy job by Johnson today.

Lenihan has never rallied and organised the troops like that.

Best since West Brom when Raya got booted in the face by that filthy Dingle.

So chuffed, fist pump and get in!

[rovers11]

WOW that is a result to be proud of. Battling qualities in abundance. I didn’t see us scoring in a million years...and neither did their manager hence why he subbed quite a few of their best players. You can never discount this team and their manager has just found that out. Mind you, I don’t think TM thought we stood a chance either and decided to rest Armstrong and Rothwell for the next game after we went 2-1. 

Special mention to Buckley for sticking at it and digging in at RB against one of the best left backs in this league.

Gallagher MOTM.

That's the character I thought we were signing.

Togetherness and that kind of spirit can take you a long way.

Watching it at the in-laws again?

[Blue n whites]

I went from humming we are going up without realising to kicking the bean bag around the house in an instant. 

I'm so annoyed with debatable  penalties like that. A penalty is enough but a red as well. A joke.  It's not malicious or dangerous and in any other area of the pitch isnt even a foul.  Totally changed the game, 

Saying that, I'm well pleased with the application of our players. Was good to see them celebrating at the end. Must of felt like a win. Keeps the positive vibes going. Well done boys.

TM saying Wharton's injury doesn't look good. Feel for the lad.
