Ayala and Dacks goodbye? 

Seems like it.

Just need another 8 or 9 to fuck off with them. Although for the record Dacky is one I'd keep.

Great final touch by Wharton 

[bluebruce]

Is this the first game we've come from behind to win all season?

[superniko]

Were Millwall terrible in the 2nd half or are we a better and more balanced side with Brittain RB, JRC in centre mid and Travis in the dugout?

[WacoRover]

Just amazing, no matter where we finish, what a dogfight at the den

Can’t score 4 in 3 months and we think we could do it in one evening?

Millwall were terrible, as they were first half really. I didn’t think we played that well, and we’re very sloppy still. It just Millwall made us look okay ish…yet we scored 3 goals…couldn’t make it up.

Massively disappointed to not get in the play offs but happy that we've ended with a win, and also happy that it sticks the final nail in on who was the villain this season.

Waggot out!

[G Somerset Rover]

The most Blackburn rovers result if there ever was one. We finally, finally come back to win a game of football - and in that style - and still it matters not.

And Ayala's. Touch of class that from JDT.

[Irish_Rover]

Jesus, just one more point was all we needed. Just one of those last minute equalizers to stay out against Coventry or Preston. Totally heart breaking

Could be a very important question for next season. If Brittain gets back to his early season form after a full preseason, could be the way forward.

[Tugayisgod]

What a game to end the season though . Gutting but think we put the bottlejobs jibes to bed 2nd half.

Also praise to JDT for his changes which actually worked 2nd half.

Now, when does the transfer window open?

Prediction:

Swansea beat West Brom

Sunderland go behind to PNE and we take the lead....hopes are built up, as the in-play table has us 6th.....

Sunderland then go on to win with some late goals, and take 6th place (thankful for their 95th minute equaliser last weekend)

It hurts that just avoiding either the PNE (95th min own goal)  or Coventry (93rd minute keeper scoring) would have meant today would be in our own hands. If we'd avoided both, then the top 6 would already be confirmed!

EDIT: that last bit is wrong actually as Millwall and Coventry would still be able to finish above us. 

Fucking hell - wasn’t too far off. Preston no show though

Y'know what, I'm ok with that. We've finally shown some bottle by coming from behind to win.

Onwards and UPWARDS NEXT SEASON!

[Displaced Rover]

Commentators fawning over Sunderland, makes you sick.

Yeah. They have all been great for us in their time. Sad to see them leave but glad they are on their way

I'll ignore that.

Brilliant performance from Rovers tonight, but we lost it in the previous 8 games.. 

I'm hoping this will be an invaluable lesson for this squad and we kick on next season..

The team pinched higher than expected, we keep the youngsters add some quality and we will be good!

Better without Travis in the middle? 

The system needs two ball-playing CMs to properly work (and two athletic FBs that basically play as WBs) - it's no wonder we looked better with two CMs that can pass in there.

We didn't though, because it's in a match where the result didn't matter, and I'm sure the players knew that. Showing bottle would have been doing it when it matters, something this team are incapable of.
