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

Or the stonewall penalty at Burnley

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

Yep.  Pointless in the end.  Nice to win but its a depressing win.   Millwall shat the bed and they were clearly very nervous.

Unfortunate season but what a game to end it. Squad is full of young talent so let’s hope we make better use of the summer transfer window 

A goal scorer and we make play offs comfortably here. My biggest fear is we lose Dack, Wharton, JRC and JDT this summer

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Great effort from the team today. 

absolute shitter to get done over by those boring deluded nobbers and tony fkin titbag (funny how well he can do when he's at a club that he gives half a shit about) 

Knew that poor GD would haunt us eventually and having only one centre forward in the squad(a completely unprolific one at that) 

[Darrenbot]

We finally win a game from a losing position when it doesn't matter,also i don't give a shit that Mowbray and Sunderland have made the playoffs,we haven't and that's all that matters,We move into a summer of  waiting until the end of July for any shitty signings and teenage loans from  Prem teams and another season in a truly terribly average quality league that the Championship is.

Just one more point from any of the games in last 4 weeks, or just one less unfortunate turn of fate and we’d have been in the playoffs.

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.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it was in JDTs head and he had a little trial with it

As far as he will know though, there's pressure today. They won't know the other scores.

There was no pressure on today.  We had to win and hope

[den]

Last minute defeat at Sunderland, last minute draw at home to Cov, away to North End, draw with Hudds, even getting beat by Dingles- all games dominated.

[booth]

Anyone know when the last time we scored 4 was?

[AllRoverAsia]

Great win, great come back.

A great game for the neutrals to enjoy on Sky.

I actually quite like Sunderland as a Club, it's their manager who I simply do not like so I do hope he gets well and truly rogered in the playoffs.

Hes on TV, so it's now turned off.

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

Why? He clearly can't get around the pitch anymore.

He's been a very good player for us - a legend of the last 12 years (my how far we've fallen), but he can't play in this system.

We had a better season than last season ending at 7th place...almost there.....a striker in January would had us there

[Paul Mellelieu]

As I predicted, Rovers finally get TM into the playoffs.

3-1 down at half time at the Den. I am super proud of the team and have genuine hope for next season.

Finished in our highest position since we came into the championship. 

[JohnD]

Well, of course, we did it the hard way but we did exactly what we had to do, at last.

I can't remember the last time I looked forward to the next season with such positivity, hope JDT stays.

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

It was on that famous bank holiday Monday the 8th dwy of May...🎵

[neophox]

I have faith in JDT... Overall it's an good season he now knows the team and he did put things right second half...

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?

Honestly we were the much better side all game - we gifted them two goals and the third (their first) should have been dealt with as it was a throw-in.

Boro knock them out in the final, Tony cry gurns and laugh gurns at the same time.

Give him a pre season to get himself back to proper fitness, he'll be fine. Literally the only player we have with any real footballing intelligence. Wouldn't keep him on his current deal, but if there's a more sensible deal to be made it's an easy decision.

bye bye travis

Feeling a bit of pride after that.  Excellent way to end the season but really should have been in the bag weeks ago. Poor run since the World Cup, but can’t help be feel undone in part to bad luck. Can easily point to 3 or 4 matches where a point has been stolen from us. We return nearly the entire squad who played meaningful minutes. Need at least 4 in. 2 center forwards, a left winger and a left back. If GN can get the necessary paperwork over the line in the summer we should be top 6 next year.
