Being a Rovers fan should absolutely come with a health warning. From the despair of Wednesday to the euphoria of today. And I'm delighted to eat a huge slice of humble pie after decrying the five at

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 w

I said it at the start and I’ll say it again, Eustace is a very good manager and I can’t wait to see his team in August. To come back from a 5-0 hammering and then beat Leeds at Elland Road, whilst keeping a CS, amazing!

lets hope the sides below us lose today and then there will be less pressure next week!

You may be deligjted/indifferent/disappointed to know I made it out of the pub alive. 

Game of 2 halves for me. First half I thought was very poor. Gave the ball away far too cheaply and offered nothing going forwards. 

Second half Leeds up their game and their attacks but we defended better and actually offered stuff going forwards. This relieved the pressure on our defence significantly  and caused some threat. In fact we had a few good chances and only some excellent defending stopped us taking the lead earlier. 

Great goal, well taken and cracking assist. Also on their pens given they were throwing themselves to the floor and falling theatrically at every point - including one penalty appeal - that must have worked against them. Brought the lack of pens, especially on the debatable one, on themselves. Bamford is a self entitled pillock. Bit more application and he might be a third of the player he thinks he is. 

Overall stuck one to Leeds and staying up.

Brilliant result

Considering 4 were away, and we've played Ipswich, Southampton and Leeds, we're actually showing some good form. 

He's a good Championship manager. JDT was better, but I think we've been fortunate to land Eustace - the Birmingham Chairman admitted he made a mistake sacking him.

@rigger, you had it right. What a nice surprise win. 

As to the game. Rovers did what teams at all levels do when playing against superior opposition; keep it tight and hope for a chance on the break. It's not pretty, it's not a tactical masterclass, but it is effective. 

Leeds players were trying their hardest to con the ref into giving them a pen, not a chance for any of them. Gallagher's arm may have been given a long look by VAR, but I doubt the official would have overturned the ref's initial no pen decision. 

Gallagher won 1 attacking header all game, and Dolan had 1 decent pass. Those combined led to Szmodics cool finish. How did both of them miss the cross from Szmodics? 

I think that Gallagher was far more effective in Rovers box defending Leeds crosses.

Worth noting that without the thrashing at Bristol, we wouldn't have won today.  

You are probably right.

What a difference 65 hours makes!

The thing is, most of our recent games have been very tight, and in that respect the Sunderland win and Bristol City loss were both odd.

An absolutely fantastic result today, under extreme pressure.

Hopefully, a defining moment.

We can for sure go to Leeds tomorrow and pick up a positive result. 

 

Probably the only poster who predicted a positive result and the ones who jumped on him for it are looking a bit silly now 😁

Good effort chaddy lad.
