v Norwich City (a) - 5/11/23

[matt83]

These 2 keepers simply cannot play again

We need a journeyman pro/early 30’s or someone who has slipped down the order in the prem and wants a game.

No, no, no. He's the new scapegoat - he'll never be good enough now.

Getting behind a wicked, deflected shot isn't enough. 

Let's not do that. He's been so bad since he arrived. Smaller errors are still errors, he's had some howlers already and anything that goes near him looks like resulting in a goal. Not scapegoating but you have to say what you see. 

[Darrenbot]

Great result,bit concerning who we will have available for the nobenders game with injuries and red cards but lets worry about that tomorrow,today is a day to celebrate the win.

[BankEnd Rover]

Preston will be targeting Leo all night next week. Happy with the win but the GK position is a huge worry! 

[yellowsubmarine]

According to some who watched 5 mins of Wahlstedt's youtube compilation and decided he's our answer. Speed up the recovery of Pears. Can't believe we paid money for a flapper to replace Kalminski.

Could've been deflected, fair, I didn't see that myself. But if that's what you call a "wicked" shot then we certainly have different standards. 

[AllRoverAsia]

Great win, well done Rovers.

I listen to Chris Sutton about our Wal-y. He's a pro.

[New Jeru]

I’m especially happy for all the fans that made this ridiculous trip.  Well done, lads.

Was always a fan of Pears personally, Wahlstedt is absolute clown shoes. 

Pears is horrendous 

[moerpho]

Pheew….what a game from Rovers!!! Some immense displays today. Hill, Tronstad, Dolan, Moran, Pickering and Super Sammie. Norwich were shit but that doesn’t take anyhing away from our boys today. 3 beautifully crafted goals and a heroic defense throughout the game. 
 

It really has been the opposite of normal:

- create clearcut chances….and today we put them away

- make horrible defensive blunders….and not get brutally punsished (might be down to Norwich)

Onwards and upwards!

[neophox]

Superb win!

Hill, Szmodics and Dolan our best players today.

 

Wahlstedt had a good game. He had alot to do and did well. Norwich always due a goal with the pressing after the red card.

[JohnD]

A really good 3.points.

We were sloppy before the sending off but surprisingly clinical in front of goal.

We need Pears back asap.

[Tugayisgod]

Think an appeal will go on n over the red card, whether it's successful or not I don't know. If not God knows who will play at the back next week. Brittain, Hill, Pickering and Batty?

Hill immense today again, along with Tronstadt and Dolan

Be honest, do you think he’s good enough?

Wahlstedt?

I haven't seen enough of him to give a definitive answer about how good he'll be - he obviously needs to work on how he handles crosses.

That said, it's no coincidence that we've won 4 of the 6 Championship games he's started (and kept 2 clean sheets). He's significantly better than Pears and I don't understand how that's even a question.

hilton must be thinking what do i have to do about starting😒

He's the least capable of the three- raw and rubbish.

[Andy]

Leo’s preference to punch and flap needs work, but at least his shot stopping and reactions look decent.

Good to see him get praise from the travelling fans at the end of the game; he’s a young lad and will only improve.

And he’s not Pears, so there is that.

Anyway, great win today. Let’s follow it up by beating Preston on Friday and we’re right up there.

I absolutely never wanted Wanker.

If he's sacked after losing today I take it as part payment.

Delia had a moody, good to see.

And how do you sign one of those with a closed Transfer Window?

[Norbert Rassragr]

Just three points off Country and Western in that last play off place. The league is still too close to pick out any promotion chasers apart from Leicester.

That is actually quite scary.
