Siggy's my least favourite player at Ewood but I'll take that thank you.

He’s a miles better footballer than Dolan for one

To be fair, you take the word 'pal' as offensive, so I doubt your credentials.

He is but he can be lazy at times.

I'll take a lazy, game changing player, over a pretty idealess workhorse, as harsh as it sounds

Matondo 2 goals and 2 assists so far today.

I thought they wanted rid and were forcing him out - why is he playing?

[TommyRovers]

Matondo just moved from we can't afford him to we definitely can't afford him

Siggy is pretty poor defensively but clearly has that quality in front of goal. 
Should potentially be himself and Ohashi behind Gueye? 2 good creative players playing off the big man.

Thats one of the strangest things I’ve found about this board. I call everyone pal as a term of affection (being a wigginer) I called someone pal when I first joined the site and I was shocked how many people found it an aggressive term 😂

And it’s a barm 🤣

I've never seen a team throw their GK up for a corner 3 games into the season. 

Reckon Oxford were targeting points today? Seems like it. 

[ItsRoverZ]

7 points out of 9 with large parts of these games we've looked poor can't be looked down on. We definitely need to improve though by a mile. 

[doctorryan]

3 points.

 

[moerpho]

That’ll do, Rovers….that’ll do!
 

[waynerovers]

Can't beat coming from behind to win 2-1. 3rd after three games. Let's go!

[CambridgeRover]

A win is a win 

Good performances: Tronstad, Ohashi, Carter 

Bad performances: Traivs, JRC(thanks for the goal though), Dolan 

[Eddie]

Ugly win. Possibly slightly undeserved, although we were the better side in the second half.

Oxford will feel hard done by and they could have easily been 2 or 3 clear at halftime. 

All that being said, an important win. Especially ahead of some tougher fixtures.

We couldn't afford his wages anyway - we were asking for a loan and for them to contribute to his wages. Proper pauper stuff. 

[Mashed Potatoes]

Great start to the season continues. Eustace has instilled a resilience in to the team which means we chisel out the points.

[Oldgregg86]

United lose with the last kick, dingles lose up at Sunderland and rovers come from behind to win. Suns out and beers are flowing

Rovers win, Dingles lose , yippee!

& Sammie scores on Citeh

Enjoy it ladies and gents. Rest the main lads (or injury prone lads) against Blackpool and strap in for a cracker a week today!

[DE.]

Rare to see us come from behind to win, so am happy with that. Wasn't a great performance but we ground out the win anyway, and that's all that matters in the end.

That's the Championship for many of the teams in it. There's very few dominant teams that boss games from whistle to whistle. 

We've scrapped to 7 points - we didn't beat any of the promoted sides last year and we've already beaten two of them. Yes, we need significant reinforcements, but it's a credible performance today.
