It's the injuries I fear.

Big worries all over the pitch.

Great result and mention must be made of our twelfth man, a fantastic turnout from the Rovers fans. This must give the boys a big lift for the run in.

Thought we were quite good tonight…😉

Up to that Leicester goal against the run of play, exceptional. I think the best I've seen us play all season. That first 20 mins ish of the second half was barnstorming. Could have been 4 or 5 up.

I'm drunk (little bit of chocolate mulled wine, 15%, tastes great and only 3 quid at the mo from Sainsburys, just to contrast with Mercer's poncy recommendations) but I'm bouncing after that match!

I have to say that's the best we've played for ages!

A wonderfully brave performance. We went toe to toe with Leicester and were better in every department. The manager and players deserve huge credit.

Every player played their part. Defensively sound again. Szmodics and Travis the standouts for me.

Szmodics looking a fantastic buy!

[WacoRover]

Ahem…obviously, I repent of my earlier prediction.

Heard them loud...I can't say 'and clear', I couldn't tell wtf they were singing half the time, but they were definitely in good voice!

Jack Vale was really poor- Tomasson must see something in him ... Thought Morton was quite poor too.. 

Costello going off knocked us I thought which shows just how far the lads come- quality player!!

Whatever you think of him it's a bit petty of people on here to be putting so much focus on Vales cameo apearance at this minute! 

 

Great performance and well deserved win, need to bring that attacking intensity to our league games and we'll smash the playoffs!

Almost speechless.

Just bloody brilliant.

Had £25 on Rovers at 11/1!

Just opened a Veuve Clicquot.

Like the days of old!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you still think JDT is out of his depth, or are you eating your words along with downing the booze?

We’ve now won more games at away PL sides this season than Everton, West Ham, Leeds and Forest. Liverpool have only won one more.

Phenomenal. Best performance since leaving the PL. So proud of the team tonight.

[Bbrovers2288]

That was the most Iv enjoyed a game in a long time- and felt nervous at the end. Super proud tonight . Wish we could be like that all the time, full of tempo and drive to get shots away.

I don’t think Morton was as bad as made out, put a few good blocks in. Vale I don’t see anything in 

[roverandout]

I'll give Gallagher some slack for a few weeks.

Morton poor for me tonight. Just keeps giving the ball away in bad places. Not the first time. 
 

rest of the team superb

Let's hope March is as good as February!

Morton didn't look up. He just kicked it---to them! No brains or composure.

Exactly so why am I having to justify it? Genuine question...it's nothing personal. Even Trav seemed to have to console him when he was taken off, almost like a "hey forget about it".. which I thought was. Nice touch if that was the case.

[Miller11]

That was brilliant! Almost every player out there tonight deserves massive praise. It should’ve been a lot more comfortable, but it’s a wonderful performance and dare I say our proudest day under these owners.

Hope JRC is ok, we missed him when he went off. Dolan, Szmodics and Travis all getting a 10 on the vote from me. Vale’s lack of effort nearly caused me a heart attack but I’m not dwelling on that now.

What a night! Fully deserved. Let’s carry this on and make it a season to remember!

If by some miracle O'brian finally arrived to play alongside a rejuvenated Travis that would be something!

Delighted to see Trav's recent upturn in form. Glad he's reminding everyone just how capable he is. If we somehow managed to get O'Brien in alongside him then what a midfield duo that would be.

Hah, great minds, or something like that...

[Ricky]

Luton, Millwall and Coventry all only picking up a point tonight is good for us as well.

Sheffield United play tomorrow so they will have a day less rest than us. Be good if their game went to extra time tbf.
