Mowbray has his best suit on for the leaving / not leaving presser.

How is Brown doing?

Looked a bit shaky for me but I missed the first 10-15 minutes... want to see a bit more from him. 

Hoping to see Vale & Markanday get plenty of game time today, want to see what they can do.

I’m starting to see why Tony bigs up our opponents every week, it’s clear that the team only perfoms when there’s no pressure

[BlackburnEnd75]

Edun isn't a championship centre mid

We already knew this but today is just ramming it home

A better season than we all expected given earlier performances. Kaminski I’d agreee with although you could make the case that he was even better last season so I didn’t include him.

It wasn't a better SEASON than I expected. August, I expected us to be in the play-offs. January, I expected us to challange for automatic promotion. May, I am totally disinterested.

So what I say.   Same old shit when nothing to play for.

 

Mogadon out

We should get our wish for once. 

Only 45mins of Mogga left.

He's not a Championship LB (or LWB) either.

[AllRoverAsia]

Cracking goals.

Buckey rocketman

BBD added a million back on to his fee

Brown a bit better than OK

Edun - starting to feel sorry for him, not a good sign.

That was some strike!

[davulsukur]

A stunning goal from BBD though. What a hit.

[Mattyblue]

Good job the club does the Goal of the Season before Easter, isn’t it!

[simongarnerisgod]

if salah or kane scores a goal like that,it`s all over the telly for weeks

[roverandout]

Reading just gifted a goal to Luton.  The keeper didn't see a player behind him when he dropped it for a goal kick

I'm just not convinced he's leaving mate....I need to see him go with my own eyes.

Edun pretty terrible... need considerably better quality in the middle of the park next season.

I think Garrett should've been in ahead of him. Edun has struggled in most games. 

[RoverCanada]

I can't recall the exact games, but even before his long shot against PNE, I recall Buckley finally properly connecting with a couple long shots that were blocked/deflected a few months ago. Deserved the stick he got for some of his poor shots earlier this year, but glad to see he's finally demonstrated that he does have that in his locker!

And then Diaz with a follow-up goal-of-the-year contender himself...

Sigh, this game is putting a smile on my face at least!

Brown has had his hands full with Hernandez and Bacuna, but looking okay. (Always liked Bacuna at Huddersfield. Surprised he's shuffled on to Birmingham of all places after only half a year at Rangers?)

Edun... I thought he had some decent appearances in the first half of the year, but has looked scrambly and nervous for a while now (including a dumb 2nd yellow...). Ah well. Maybe he'll look better in the 2nd half, but probably deserving of an early hook (although Mowbray seemed to be giving him some encouragement at the end there). I suppose that's part of what you use games like this for...

Now you are talking about the team, I was talking about individual players and the ridiculous statement that only van Hecke deserves any credit for this season.
 

[Cherry Blue]

18,659 with 1,697 Rovers fans. Outstanding.

[WacoRover]

I hope players intensity continues 2nd half. 90 minutes of heavy-metal football, yeah!!

Dack on Edun off

Get Edun off.  He's an absoloute liability. 

Should have been sent off too, for me.

No chance, he lost his balance from stepping on the ball.
