Fantastic stuff, Merry Christmas!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Well done lads...this is just great.

[Dreams of 1995]

Lovely stuff. This team is frightening. Relentless hounding, shithousery throughout and a touch of class to really put the cherry on top. 
 

We can win this league. Cmon Rovers!!!

[Gone to seed]

5 consecutive clean sheets - first time in 25 years!! Amazing!!

What a relentless performance, across the board. What a great feeling, to know your team is giving it everything 🙂

Where's the catch? Why are we suddenly this good? I'm not comfortable.

Sticking with an unchanged team in a balanced formation. Mainly.

[Mashed Potatoes]

Mowbray's vision is being realised now.

5 clean sheets in a row - I think the first time since the promotion season in 1980.

[WacoRover]

I am absolutely stunned right now… Five in a row, 5 clean sheets, etc. 

Any chance of us keeping Khadra & Van Hecke? 

[matt83]

We appear to be in a strange parallel universe in which rovers are sweeping opponents aside. Could be top two if we win on boxing Day as Bournemouth don't play till after us.

[Tom]

Sheer brilliance

[Exiled in Toronto]

This team is better than any of the pre-Kenny play-off teams imo. Keep injury free and don’t sell Diaz and we have every chance.

[Ulrich]

4-0 and up to 3rd, it will be a good Christmas this year for all Rovers 🎄🎄👍👍

And playing QPR who I think will beat them.

[Burrells Boy]

Somewhat bitter on the nobbers forum.

[capybara]

First five win/clean sheet-strike since 1996. You can't make this up!

[frosty]

Genuinely unbelievable this, seeing us one point off automatics and 8 points clear of 7th place (our former glass ceiling) is crazy. Well done Rovers!

[neophox]

We were astonishing good! We could had won 7-0 today! We should not fear anyone. The defence is the best defence Ive seen for ages at Rovers and Brereton well....at the moment Im happy we sold Armstrong.....since then Brereton has been miles better.

ROVERS!!!!

[yankfan]

Given them all contracts. Bring in sone depth to cover for injuries or Covid. Can’t see anyone leaving in January. 

[Tugay-is-God]

Keeping Diaz, Khadra and Van Heck in January is almost more of a pressing concern than the contracts at this point.

You can slag the owners

you can slate Mowbray

You cannot slate this team spirit, the pride and effort and the football on offer.

To those  who continue to stay away you are missing the best football and team ethic for many a year you are punishing yourselves and you are missing out Ewood atmosphere from our box was superb

What a fabulous team effort what a result and what a club we have

Merry Christmas everyone

You can also make one post where you don't attack/antagonise other Rovers 👍👍👍

[jim mk2]

Hope this team stays fit.......they clearly love playing together. Injuries could undo us but at the moment it feels so good! 

[Ulrich]

I'd love BBD to bag a hat trick and get 20 before Christmas

[neophox]

Who would want to leave in january? ..

The team is gelling at the moment..
