I bet Tone is choking on his custard creams. 

[neophox]

Was there a brawl between David Lowe and Russel Martin at the end of the game?

If we sack Mowbray who are we going to realistically get? Who’d want to come and manage Rovers?

JDT and his team have unlocked Travis' attacking potential.

He looked quite good going forward before Mowbray tried to turn him into just a midfield destroyer. 

2 in 2 and both have been crackers. 

No they have just given him back the freedom ToMo took away at the very onset of his first team playing days.  I remember Trav getting the ball and his furst thiught was to go forward, Mowbary dropped him until he developed the sideways and backwards mentality as ToMo likes.

Very good

What a masterclass by JDT. Set up to defend and allow Swansea's defenders to play the playmaker's role, which they resorted to long balls, passing sideways. Grimes has to come deep to collect the ball and try to make things happen. We can play 900 mins and they still wont score. Great last ditch clearances/save from Rovers when needed - Edun, Wharton and Kaminski. Attackers made Swansea pay with clinical finishes. 

Perfect performance from all players and manager!

We played quite well down there last season but got beat by ten men if i recall correctly.

Today everything that was missing in the fine detail of that game was actually there today. Plenty of nous from the sidelines to go with the effort and players carrying out the gameplan to perfection.

Great start, all the hard work to come but i think it's evident now this won't turn into a Coyle scenario.

[Dolly blue]

Great result…good performance…Mowbray and JDT …night and day .

……currently we have a squad small in number… big in confidence and a manager with a can do approach to the  game …haven’t felt this pleased in years .Travis without shackles, round pegs in round holes …WHAT !

[simongarnerisgod]

We almost had a double, Nyambe was brought on as a 90th minute sub and still contrived to get booked...

To tell the truth I couldn't give a shit what players who have left our club are doing.

[JacknOry]

Brum fans were wanking over being top of the league after playing 1 more game than anyone else. Was all over Twitter - same games played and we 2 points clear. Big club knobs.

In general I agree, but it would have been fun if they'd both got sent off

We missed out on every target we had on the list, they all turned us down, but do carry on.

Or, why not just enjoy the win and stop playing to the peanut gallery, they'll probably be in short supply come Jan/Feb 23 sadly. 

Great win by the way, we don't get much from South Wales, made up for the fans that made the trip.
