v Sunderland (a) - 1/4/24

[Bronzed A Donis]

JRC and Trondstad really controlled that game.

Delighted. Makes a huge difference.

[bigbrandjohn]

Fine result at the perfect time for us. Attackers have confidence and defence playing well. 

We need that winning feeling around the dressing room. Confidence fuels momentum. Hope we can give some of the hopefuls  a run for their money now. 

We were a hopeful this time last season. 

[Gav]

Superb result, made up for the Rovers hordes that made the trip. Safe trip home and I salute every single one of you.

That's 3 defeats in 10/11 since Eustace came in, conceding 11 goals. Never mind the 5 goals, it's the defensive side which has been the most impressive. 

Eustace has come in and tightened up the defence and made us hard to beat. He's showed no shortage of nous and experience. Say it quietly, we might just have a decent manager who knows how to play the Championship.

Let's not get carried away.

Great win.

WOW! I don't think anyone could've seen that coming. Finally a win under JE, and a deserved one by the sounds of it.

Let's hope this is the start of a decent end of season run. We look a far better side with JRC and Hedges back. 4 more points might just be enough to secure Championship football for next season.

fina effing ly...

 

i was on shoddy internet watching ...suddenly score was 0-1 ..i was thinking we can come back in second half ... then suddenly it was 0-2 and i'm thinking damn ...there's still second half ...then i come in here at page 8 ...only then i realized we leading 2-0 ...

exactly. 

He had to sort the defence out firstly, making us harder to be and much better as defensively unit. Like a good head coach does 

I agree with your last sentence. Did a very good job at Birmingham

Can I also point out how good the ref was today. Made sensible decisions and was calm in every situation. 

very impress how he manage the Gallagher/O'Nien situation during the second half 

Please more of the same from Ref using common sense.  

[philipl]

Fantastic performance but great to score at all the right psychological moments too.

Worth pointing out that was the first game this season we could get all 4 of Gally, Szmodics, Hedges and Dolan on the pitch together and they played superbly as a unit. Dolan was too tricky for the Sunderland defence and simply having the height and physicality of Gally created spaces for the other 3.

Rovers press was exceptional thoughout- Sunderland players will be having blue and white halved nightmares tonight..

JRC and Tronstad look a great combination in midfield and the defence was pretty flawless until we lost Dack when we were really slow getting back to the loose ball after Pears' excellent save. 

Fabulous feeling after any win but 5-1 is extra sweet.

Sammi was great today but Dolan was top class.That pass for Sammi’s first goal was DeBruynesq.

On Twitter Rich Sharpe notes that only one player starting was recruited in the last three windows.

I’ve give a rating of 9 to four players today - Sammi, Dolan, JRC and Hyam. That’s rare for me!
