v Bournemouth (a) - 11/12/21

[DE.]

Bournemouth were poor but at the same time in previous seasons this is a game we would have conspired to lose. 16 points from the last 18 now, is it? The 7-0 seems to have caused a seismic shift in space-time which has propelled us into a parallel universe where we can defend and the manager is consistent and sensible. Good times!

Didnt Ben score the first goal?

GET IN

Full credit to Tony Mowbray, the players…and my daughter. Born 3 hours after the Fulham debacle she is proving to be some good luck charm!!

Did we actually sack Mowbray after Fulham and someone else is secretly managing the team?

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Happy bunny! Wipes off the Ashes result!

Only 6 points of first spot.

Second spot but I'll take that.

Incredible defence, absolutely sensational, and we carried a real threat on the break and set pieces. Time to believe everybody!

Everyone played really well, but personally I was blown away by Buckley who was something else. Won the ball back, ghosted past defenders, superb passing, dominated at right back. The false 9 thing that never really worked with the 433 looks great in the 343, I think because the two wide strikers can play a lot narrower as the wing backs provide the width.

Pears, Van Hecke, Travis, Lenihan, Rothwell, Pickering were all brilliant.

Absolutely incredible result! Suddenly it's not just playoffs that are a possibility but automatic promotion! 

We're nearly at the halfway point of the season and really the only 2 teams that looked better than us was Fulham and QPR. 

West brom should have beaten us by 5

Na that has to go down as an og

This is starting to look serious! Hope the injuries are not too bad, just as they were clearing up

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Get them Covid passports!!

There is NO WAY anyone in this side should be sold.

Proud of my lads today, good effort by the fans too.  Pears was solid today well done.  Love this team spirit, shame about the two injuries just hope they are minor.  Maybe, been wondering if Mowbary has been manipulated by Venkies but now in his last year he said f it imma do it my way...What ever it is that's got in his head long may it continue.  Well done Rovers every last one.

[simongarnerisgod]

someone obviously told tony to ditch that possesion **** he was using last season,we`ve looked a lot more solid from the start of the season,a season in which i was dreading😁

[Gav]

7 wins in 9 games, it’s been a tremendous reaction after the Fulham hammering

All credit to the Mowbray and the players.

Can't believe this is actually happening, we just haven't got results like that since we came down almost a decade ago. Brilliant, well done Rovers, keep it up ⚽

[windymiller7]

Wow, just wow. Would've taken a point all day before KO.

Winning & keeping clean sheets is a very nice habit to get into.

Well played lads. COYB!!

If this doesn't convince boycotters to, at least momentarily, set aside their unhappiness and go support the team, nothing will. 

[RoverDom]

We can lose twice before we drop put the top 6. That's a massive change from getting a toe in and then losing 6 on the bounce 

[OsloRover]

Bournemouth are a very good team for this league, they frightened me in the opening minutes of both halves. We really struggled to get around their quick defenders.

Great result. Will Kaminski get his place back when he returns from injury? Pears can actually kick a ball.

[JacknOry]

5 point safety net in playoffs now - but on this form, and with some of the games coming up - we need to keep pushing. Really impressed with the team spirit today. Everyone high 5's all the time - really playing for each other.

Got to love that lad Hecke too, such passion for the game.

[Beanie01289]

It's not just the results hard to think of a more likeable set of Rovers players.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Chianti is open.

Absolutely crazy how our form has turned around since the 7-0. Incomprehensible. 

I had said that was a watershed for this team, thank god we responded in the right manner.  One thing puzzles me, Khadra played against the Blades and took our corners and he was superb, he hasn't took one since, well one I think.  Needs to be taking them if he's playing.  What a heady day love it just love it.  Dare to dream?

Venky's leaving will - go troll another thread...enjoy the win.
