what about Sunderland head coach Régis Le Bris or Bristol City head coach Liam Manning or Portsmouth head coach John Moushino ? 

Gio5d shouts Chaddy.very good.

Finally Leeds get a second, they should be outta sight. Couple more do nicely.

[DE.]

Leeds have been frighteningly dominant. 17 shots to 0. If they score once more then if Bristol City draw against Preston and we win by any scoreline against Sheff Utd, we'd go above Bristol.

We just need one more to bring goal difference level, that would mean any win over sheffield united and a bristol draw would be enough to put us above them.

Bristol are awful.  Shows how bad this league is

Anyone know that if the GD is equal, what the next thing is that’s looked at? Goals scored? Games won?

Leeds 3

Goals scored 

[Devon Rover]

Possibly, just possibly, could be important.

[roverandout]

If only we'd picked up one more fucking point we'd be in the play off positions now

[DE.]

Looking like a great result for both us and Boro especially.

It won't mattter, theres no scenario now where we can be level on points and goal difference, unless bristol score before end of the game.

Don't do it to yourself!

Rovers game not on one of the main Sky Sports channels. But will be on plus.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Rovers win. Bristol have to win.  Draw not enough for them. 

 

[waynerovers]

That literally could't have gone any better for us.

[1874]

That was never a contest. Bristol in damage limitation mode from the start.

Yep, not just a defeat but an absolute hammering. After also getting beaten 3-1 by Luton in their last match, it's got to be a severe dent in confidence for Bristol. Granted Preston are also shit and will be low on confidence, but increases the chances of a draw when they play each other at least. From a GD perspective all we needed was 3-0, the extra goal doesn't really mean anything other than further damaging Bristol's confidence going into the final day.

I appreciate I have the benefit of being from the south west but there are two teams in Bristol…

Anyway. Fantastic result - their confidence will be rock bottom after that too. Roll on Saturday.

Yup.  In theory Millwall shouldn't get more than a point at the Dingles.  PNE need something to make sure they stay up.  Coventry and Boro both have something to play for.  You'd assume  Sheff U will rest a few players. 

This is Rovers though and we never turn up when there is any pressure to win.

I just can't be bothered typing out Bristol City every time tbh, and assume people would know I don't mean Bristol Rovers 😅

They are dogshite away from home. Will be heavy favourites against Preston. If we manage to win against a Blades side resting before the play-offs, then I think we'll make it though. It's a shame that a draw isn't enough, but might also be a blessing in disguise as we won't play it safe and have to go for the win. 

[davulsukur]

What needs to happen to get us into the play offs and PNE relegated? 

Because that's the ideal scenario right now!
