Cheapest class defender ever.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

great half that.  Hope we can keep it up.  Hook Morton though.  Liability in the middle. 

[AspRover]

Be hard pressed to say who our 'worst' performance is so far - couple of players who haven't had much to do, Pickering for example, but no-one who's been poor.

Very solid performance.

[Polky]

Brilliant first half, brave on the ball and pressing well. 
 

Come on Blues! 👏🏻 

[Tugayisgod]

Really fantastic from us, even getting praise from the commentators. Same attitude 2nd half, don't sit back on this lead 

Rovers have suddenly become the entertainers ! Long may it last

[LDRover]

Well, this is fun to watch isn't it?? Huge turn around in the form of Travis and JRC who have both been excellent. The latter showing an arrogance of a player right at the top of his game.

[roverandout]

Very good performance.  Rankin-costello looks made for the epl

[Gav]

Proud of the players after that 45mins and the fans have been tremendous. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Best we’ve played for a while. Last ten minutes we started tip tapping it instead of the earlier crisp passing. We need to get back to the earlier quick passing.

[chaddyrovers]

So proud of those players tonight. We have been Brilliant so far. Good goal and could had another. 

Come on you Blues!!

JDT'S Blue and White Army 🔵 ⚪️!!!

I would still have Breo in the middle instead of Gally against Burnley.

[Sweaty Gussets]

It's incredible how far we've come as an attacking unit in the last month alone. We could and should have had 3.

Yeah Gally hasn’t been great.

[Ricky]

Morton is probably the only one who hasn’t impressed. Gives the ball away too often in bad places. Would have Buckley on for him at half time. 

[des]

Is it me or have we been given more time and space in this games so far very good first half let's hope it carries on

[Angry_Pirate]

Superb for 95% of that half! Well done for all involved in the game plan.

Imagine if that wasn't our "good half" and we can keep this up. Go out and play the second half like it's 0-0 again and we'll win this! Go out to defend for 45mins, and it would be a mistake.

Harsh. He's pressed the ball really and put in a number of challenges to break up their play. A couple of loose passes shouldn't detract from that. 

[rovers11]

Best performance for many years. JRC looks absolute class. 

[DE.]

Feels like it's really starting to click with JDT now. More of the same next half please! 

[Groundhog]

Leicester worse than us at tapping it about at the back, makes a change. We are taking risks but we seem to have an out-ball now, we seem to be playing it forward quicker and also inside centrally, more so than we did in that spell around Christmas. Is this the "bravery" that JDT talks about? JRC cutting inside and doing his man and releasing the ball is really working for us - and Dolan is someone to aim at. 

Hyam is always there, love it. 

Szmodics, if Leicester bypass our midfield with a couple of quick passes, he always busts a gut to get back goalside. Very impressive.

We're just wasteful up front, come on lads, look up, think...

Every touch of his is class. Enjoyed how he nearly shimmied his way past 3 on the byline. Similar to his QPR assist.

[Miller11]

I’m really enjoying this so far! Good call to bring Pickering in for this one and keep it simple at the back, though JRC is running riot as usual!

Dolan has been superb, Hyam and Carter super comfortable, and well impressed with Travis.

[Rover_in_the_South]

What a cracking first half of footy, Dolan's really growing on me. Love his energy.

His rabona gave me a rabona

Never thought I'd see these words applied to JDT's Rovers
