I'll be genuinely surprised if we score

Because there’s no Gallagher??

Just don't think these group of lads gave the character when it really matters, sadly. Would love to be proven wrong but the play off dream dies this evening, for me. Still, promising for next year with good recruitment we should be up there again.

Big lump Morris looked a very average player much of the time in the game at Kenilworth Road and is the very definition of the term "journeyman striker" yet he's emerged as a key player for them. Carter and Hyam need to be on their guard 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Come on Rovers....for the fans!

I like the way they are set up 3-5-2. Having a pair of strikers usually pays dividends, of course we don’t play like that.

Yeah we play very pushed up and get away with it as opposition usually only has one up. Two up could cause us problems.

Because we have no strikers fullstop

What JDT and these players have achieved this season, they deserve the playoffs. The season has been much better than anyone expected.

Do us proud lads, if we out work this lot, we win tonight.

Hands up , who thought Bell would leave for a team that would finish above Rovers.

Twice in two seasons no less.

[Spankus Munky]

If we win this it's likey going to be our play-off game too so at least we know we are a match for them in a few weeks... All if's and buts though aint it

I remember seeing him in Booths in Poulton when it had just been announced he was leaving to Luton and remember saying to my Mrs what a step down it was 🤦‍♂️

[roverandout]

Come on rovers be men today instead of mice

[roverandout]

Give the ball to Wharton as much as possible 

[davulsukur]

Hyam player of the season.

Seems fair enough to me.

Had hoped Luton would rest a few players today. No real surprises with our line up.

What a surprise we get the 'keep the momentum going' manager. 

Weird, all our rivals (promotion + relegation) over the years, got the 'rest the whole team and keep them fresh' manager.

[Nuttall is lost]

Smash the fucking ball!  Why oh why are our players afraid of taking shots!

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

God we're such pussies! We're just not going to score another goal this year 

[bluebruce]

Absolutely must do better there Joe

2 seasons in a row, pretty much a feature of their team and well regarded there 

Will always have a mistake in him but given more freedom going forward 

[roverandout]

Pointless pissing about at the back 

[Tugay-is-God]

JRC brings that down and he's in. 

[roverandout]

Get Diaz to fuck

[jim mk2]

Brereton FFS !

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Tepid start...

[bluebruce]

Fantastic ball from Brereton. To them.

[Tom]

I’m sad to say, I won’t miss this seasons Diaz at all - now go fire us to the play offs
