Superb win, stonking performance and a lovely winning goal that shouldn’t have stood, love it 

[doctorryan]

YES!!!!

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Absolutely superb result and all round effort from the boys, so happy with that 

[chaddyrovers]

Excellent away performance. delighted today. amazing for those travelling away Rovers fans. 

Eustace got it spot on tonight. 

Defensively good and stood up when we came under the cosh at the start of the second half. But created some good chances. 

Eustace's Blue and White Army 🔵⚪

I expected nothing, thought we may have a chance of a point then got all three. Clean sheet as well.

Amazing win away against a good side.

Well if the lino sees Toddy as behind the line it’s not offside no matter where Hyam is

[Old Codger]

What a result! Not what I expected. But every point counts, and momentum can be built on a bit of good fortune like we enjoyed this evening. Pears didn't really have much to do either, so I think we were worth the win!

[joey_big_nose]

Eustace really knows what hes doing.... Best Ive seen us defensively organised since Allerdyce.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Very good win that.  Not much up top but defensively that was very organised. 

[CambridgeRover]

Wahoo

He's not even onside if I close them.

Down in that London! In a pub in Pimlico, in a good spot so I can see both Liverpool & Celtic games, watching my phone getting strange looks for fist pumping & giving it "get in!". No fucks given!

[Lancaster Rover]

We’ve got very lucky in recent times with strikers hitting form and having breakout seasons however this season the lack of a forward will cost us promotion. In other seasons a forward has masked deficiencies or saved us. This year we look solid if unspectacular, which is often what gets you promoted. The lack of a forward will cost us.

as the commentary are rightly pointing out 

[neophox]

Not sure that is an offside goal as Todd is ahead of the defender when playing the ball in as it looks excellent play

Hilarious that the commentators on Sky haven't even realised its offside yet.

[Darrenbot]

One of the best wins of the season so far,going away to a team scoring goals for fun and shutting them out,who cares if the goal was offside,bout time we got some luck from refs decisions.

[norwichblue]

GET FUCKING IN!

EUSTACE’S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY!

[Tugayisgod]

What a result that is 🔥

These last three games we have been excellent, our passing has improved beyond all recognition in my opinion, we are no longer giving the ball away cheaply as we have so often . Superbly worked goal, offside or not to don't give a feck 

 

[Tugay-is-God]

Very happy with that. Makes a change from what I feel like our usual midweek results are like!

Fantastic! Professional, hard working, well organised. Didn't expect to win tonight, but apart from 15 minutes in 2nd half never thought we'd lose that. As usual when we win, better than the sum of our parts tonight.

[neophox]

Get that Gueye play for under 21s he need games and scoring goals..

Aye. We look really dangerous in the build up play at times, we passed it much better than the much vaunted Boro.

It's not about the position of the player playing the ball, but the player receiving it and the trajectory of the ball.

If the cross had been a sideways ball, it could never be offside.

But Hyam was behind the last defender and the ball is played forward, so it's offside.
