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, they'll probably be in short supply come Jan/Feb 23 sadly. 

Even if we did, we still found someone further down the list that is a massive upgrade.

So am I after that result 😆

Trying not to get ahead of myself but JDT showing himself to be the antithesis of Mowbray inthe best possible way. 

That was as tactically astute performance from a manager that I've seen in a long time watching rovers and it also highlighted how well drilled and organised we looked.

Getting a good start not only gets everyone behind him but also helps our case for attracting new players... over to you Greg.

Just very pleased to be able to enjoy watching the rovers again

[Blueandwhitemike]

That second goal was a thing of beauty, fantastic ball from Hedges, great touch and strength from BBD and then a delightful finish, if if if we could keep him... it'd be brilliant news

Some great defending today from Ayala, Wharton and even Edun was really key to winning the game

[Norbert Rassragr]

Only 2 games in, and already it feels like a much more positive, purposeful scene at Rovers. There looks to be a structure on the pitch, and a manager/Head Coach who has a desire to improve and succeed.

I think Hasta was being ironic.

[TimmyJimmy]

Wow, just wow. Echo all previous comments.

The players were immense of course but for me this victory was all about the management team. Genius strategy, top draw execution.

Enjoying it whilst it lasts.

The fitness levels were superb toda, as were the tactics. Everyone seemed to know what their job was and it was as though they were following a script.

To say that was as near as a perfect performance you will get, would not be over stating things. We knew how Swansea would play and simply destroyed them.

Hedges was superb and his calmness to set up the first was outstanding. 
 

Travis a true leader and we have a team of heroes and a team to be proud of right now.

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

You're never far from a Mowbray slating post Gav 😅

Have to wonder what JPVH will be thinking after that result....

I'm never getting in that team, so I'll go elsewhere? 😉

BBD laughing and smiling all game. Enjoying his football that lad. Good strength as well.

Total opposite to his first season here.

He ain't going anywhere.

[BigBar]

Great start to the season and massive respect to JDT and the lads. No real need to being throwing shots at Tony though. He deserves some respect.

Buckley says hi

[islander200]

In fairness to Mowbray I was critical of the Hedges signing but really liking the look of him 

[West Yorks Rover]

I can't help worrying that this team could be torn apart in the next few weeks.

We have all known that BD could go at anytime, but Lewis Travis is our midfield gem and

after his recent performances, richer clubs must be watching.

Big statement Jack, I'm sure I speak for every member on this site, I hope you're right.

The guy is a winner. Came from a CL club, double league winner. What did TM ever do? We plucked him after he walked out on Coventry after one of his death spirals. We were constantly told we could not find better by some. 

[Tom]

Huge shout out to Edun, we’d done brilliant to get to 2-0 but had that gone in it would have been a nervy ending 

Overall seems brilliant use of subs with Dolan getting an assist

I hope we can make a habit of seeing games out this way
