Championship - 22-23

[all you need is duff]

I’m pleased it’s in our hands. I hated 2017 when we won our last two (fairly difficult) games but it wasn’t enough due to other results

Its very simple for Rovers, just win the next 2 games and we get playoff place. Its that simple

If only it was. Form suggests we won’t.

Lets just hope it was a terrible April, and pray May is our month of redemption

[arbitro]

I have said for weeks now that I would be happy if we were going to Millwall with something to play for but if it's in our own hands even better. For me winning tomorrow is imperative.

Luton will be tough. They've lost eight games all season and conceded less than a goal per game on average. We're going to have to be at our best to beat them. Hopefully Luton will play a weakened side and take their foot off the gas.

A point means we have something to play for in the last game. It's a bit disappointing to have dropped off as much as we have in recent weeks, but at least we didn't kill our season off months ago like we usually do. I'm not convinced we'll make it, but the season has already gone a lot better than I expected it to.

Come on Rovers!

[Athlete]

The problem all season has been scoring goals and if we do go in front and revert to going 5 at the back and just invite pressure

As for that playing out from the back as if we are a prime Barcelona from a few years ago it just doesnt work

[Lancs Rover]

Play off predictions?

Rovers beat Boro

Luton grind down Cov

Rovers 0 Luton 1 (Bell 3:02)

PL aghast 🤦

Cardiff tippy tappy gift Huddersfield a goal.

When will they ever learn, hardly a game goes by in all leagues without it causing damage or a lucky escape.

Wigan surely down, now. Wonder what Nyambe's agent has lined up for him next? Any other clubs knocking around that are a big downgrade on his current club and don't pay wages?

Madness. They do what we had drummed into us never to do. For obvious reasons.

[arbitro]

Just watching Cardiff v Huddersfield and the home team are the epitome of players being on the beach. I saw them beat Rotherham on Thursday playing with some intensity, today they haven't got out of second gear.

Ah, I see - due to Reading and Huddersfield playing.

[chaddyrovers]

Looks like Reading are going to league 1 club next season. Mark Bowen is there as Sporting Director ex Rovers number 2 under Mark Hughes. 

[Blow-in]

Tony Mowbray did his hamstring celebrating the 2-2 draw yesterday. Never that animated when he managed us.

Huddersfield play Sheff Utd next and need a draw to be safe. If they lose then it'll come down to Huddersfield Vs Reading on the final day of the season, and could be a relegation decider. Rotherham have much better GD than Reading, so if they can get a draw from one of their final two games against Boro and Wigan it should be enough to keep them up. Certainly still a chance it could go down to the final game.

Really is hard to overstate what a dick head that bloke is.

Spent the entire time here complaining about how far away it was and blah blah blah. Never celebrated anything, always had a face like a smacked arse.

Then when he doesn't get his contract renewal he spits the dummy out.

What a cock.

Klopp did the same celebrating Liverpool's winner. 

[AllRoverAsia]

Violent conduct, surely a straight red?

That's ignoring the Rotherham player had to be subbed injured very early in the game.

Even the Boro commentators thought he got lucky *

The pleb retard of a Boro player was laughing as he got booked.

Fecking shithole refereeing once more.

* But they are crying over the red for Dijksteel.

Ryan Lowe's post match after the Sheffield United game are interesting and look like he might be ready to walk away at the end of the season
