Flood the ground with anything to improve support, make home games hell for away teams. Commit what is needed to keep this side together. Spend what is needed to get them over the line. Roll the dice, have some belief. *checks prices for Huddersfield game* oh….🙁 1 Quote

The signs are always there but some choose try to be clever and navigate their own way there just to say they could, rarely works. Tony has seen the signs finally. Quote
jim mk2 Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 After some of the abject performances earlier in the season including a record 7-0 home defeat this excellent run is hard to take in. Long may it continue! A long, long way to go and I hope we haven’t peaked too early but a playoff place looks a distinct possibility 2 Quote

Football is all about confidence, commitment and a little bit of luck. I think we had all three in spades today, and long may the lucky streak continue. Quote
Bbrovers2288 Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Just take a moment to highlight the importance of gallagher brilliant block at the back post to keep it 1-0, they score there and it’s a completely different story. shows this is a massive team effort, folk coming off the bench and putting their bodies on the line, first time Iv felt like that with a mowbray team. Got a good squad at the moment and long may it continue 5 Quote

Boycotters are hurting the club, you can't deny that. Right now would be a great time to come back. Starting with our owners who have been boycotting this club (their baby) for a few years now. 2 Quote

Apparently, if that win was not enough to bring boycotters back, nothing will. I have supported the club for 45 years, not 10. If he wants more supporters to return, does he think pointing at the boycotters and diversifying the supporter base, is the best way to do it? 5 Quote

The fact that we are having this conversation means something is going right, and we just need to enjoy it , whilst understanding that TMs defensive instincts will lead to a bad run at some point. Please, please, please buy a ticket for the Birmingham game, we can all genuinely make a difference now. Its a difficult time financially but see it as an Xmas present to yourself. We CAN be the 12th man. COYB 2 Quote

I dont tell people to stop going after our record losing streak last season - so please dont try and tell me to come back. I visit these boards daily, i love this club - im also stubborn. These owners have destroyed my club. And now, you've destroyed a happy thread - well done. 2 Quote
rovers11 Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Dare I say it, but that was the performance of a promotion winning team. We knew when to attack, when to sit back, when to try and nick the ball, when to hold off and get the second ball instead, etc etc. It was perfect. The team has matured, we've found a formation that works for us, and have a fine striker in Breo. Keep our best players fit and we have a chance. Pick up injuries then results will become patchy again. Jan transfer window is crucial too. We're doing amazingly well and I have cautious optimism, but I know there are a lot of things that need to go our way to sustain the promotion push. 2 Quote
den Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Got to say I didn’t see this coming. Beginning of season, very pessimistic about all things Rovers. What the players are producing now is fantastic. 👍👏 4 Quote
Upside Down Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 It's great seeing yet another clean sheet. That is probably one of the biggest positives of all I think. 1 Quote

This is a really good debate, and I appreciate both sides. However, I can see for the 1st time that extra support can propel us to greater heights on the pitch, whilst not necessarily benefiting the clueless owners (yes, I can see the counter-arguement). I can't see why we would risk the outside chance if a promotion, and the opportunity for the muppets to finally invest in the way they always promised, albeit with more realistic advice and ambition. We will then know whether a total, semi-permanent boycott is the way to go. I know this is a divisive argument, but we won't get this chance again in the foreseeable future, and the Preston game showed how the players benefit from vocal support. A dilemma, but I'm gonna continue to support this group of telanted youngsters. COYB. Edited December 12, 2021 by garnersfags 2 Quote

They ran further, worked harder, looked more organised and enthusiastic and had a better shape. We had the skill but not the application. It’s great to see the shoe on the other foot at long last. That’s what we had this afternoon and long may it continue. All I ever ask of a Rovers team is that they don’t leave anything out on the pitch. Just give 100%. That’s what these lads are doing. I'l maintain till i'm blue in the face that getting rid of the egos of a lot of those seniors who'd been on the payroll far too long is making a massive difference this season. Young hungry players who want it and want to achieve things AND better contracts rather than a load just turning up for wage. Energy and miles in the legs rather than pacing them and a manager who now doesn't seem more interested in involving them all and is actually after points every game. Points win prizes....and contracts. 7 Quote

We'd need this run to last till Feb for that to be realistic. I'd snap your hand off for 6th. Anything is possible in the playoffs. Quote

I refuse to buy a season ticket and instead spend more money buying individual match day tickets for both home and away games. I appreciate it makes absolutely no sense but I feel like I’m making a point and will continue to do so until I see a proper operator running the club. 3 Quote
Spartakfenni Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 They’ve continued to put as much money into the club that’s allowed. We’re not a Derby or Reading. Their crime is having no knowledge of the crooked underworld of football and it’s agents 2 Quote
Ulrich Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 So anyway good unexpected result today, I'm especially pleased as I used to live in Boscombe when I was younger 👍 1 Quote
