v Leeds United (a) - 13/04/2024

Whatever you can say about Rovers, it certainly isn’t boring 😳😁

[jones_rover]

Carter makes a big difference to the back line.

Pears was brilliant today - huge credit to him.

Such a massive result and credit to the whole team.

Absolutely staggered by that after the Bristol debacle

Will the real Rovers please stand up? 

 

[neophox]

Such a big win!!!! Marvelous!

There is a God.

My watch is blaring out abnormal heartbeat. No shit Sherlock. 

[TonyM]

What a  surprise that was...

I think 49 should  be enough to stay up, so pressure (almost) off now. 

 

[waynerovers]

As someone who lived in Leeds for the past 20 years there's no team I enjoy us beating more.

[Paul Mellelieu]

I am dead on my knees, tears in my eyes.

Fair fucks to Eustace and the players, for everything they were to be blamed for mid-week they should be praised for today. 
Fantastic desire and effort, and ended up with the two best chances in the match.

Szmodics added a few mill more onto his value. 

He came in with instructions to keep us up, and he’s done just that. 

(Added sweetener that it’s Leeds falling apart - hopefully Ipswich do the business today) 

edit: Bamford should have had two yellows for two dives. Pathetic excuse of a footballer, too busy falling on the floor to stick in the net. No wonder his own fans despise him. Wouldn’t even be pens in non-contact sports

he's 100% wrong.

[AspRover]

In the last 10 seasons two teams have been relegated with 49 or more points - Reading had 50 last year, and then us on 51.

That's got to get us over the line, surely

[RevidgeBlue]

What a League the Championship is, anyone can beat anyone else - it's insane.

I'm struggling to think of a better and seemingly more unlikely win when we really  needed it over my 50 odd years of following the Club.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The Smoz right up there with David Speedie cult status now...what a player.

The Sky commentators were very clear that they thought that they weren’t penalties. And in truth there was no outrage from either Leeds players or fans.

[BigBar]

Massive credit to Eustace and the lads. Fucked Leeds nicely. The sweetest of away wins. Brilliant.

I've no doubt, and couldn't care less anyway.

Only passing on what he said.

Not a chance. Throwing themselves on the floor at every opportunity in injury time.

As you're on form who do you fancy for the golf?

The obvious Scheffler or someone else?

Went for Scheffler pre tournament and seen nothing to change my mind but given my winnings today on Rovers, have already put a cheeky £fiver on both Fleetwood (50/1) and Fitzpatrick (85/1) as they are two very talented lads capable of making 'a charge' as invariably someone does.

Nope. 

[chaddyrovers]

Thrilled and delighted with today win. 

We defended as a team and everyone of those players played for the fans and Eustace. Our shape was very good. The defenders were excellent today and Hyam was back to his good self. Carter did excellent after his booking in the first half. Brittain and Pickering did excellent against their wingers/full backs 

We had the best 2 chances today and Leeds ended up diving and trying to win a penalty which none were. 

Eustace got his tactics spot on. 

Excellent finish by Szmodics by great play by Dolan after Gallagher wins the header. I think I never shouted so much after that when in. 

The Rovers fans at Elland Road were loud and proud. 

Delighted for the fans, the players and Eustace. Great 3 points. 

Rovers till I die 🔵⚪

Eustace's Blue and White Army 🔵⚪

Good shouts.

I also fancy Schaufelle and Cameron Young at big odds.

[ageoftherover]

The injury time flops in the box were obviously not pens, but if there was VAR I reckon the handball (Gallagher I think) earlier in the second half would have been given.
