He’s barely had a bad game since coming to the club.

Is this in relation to Tronstad?

He's been consistently a 7 or 8 in almost every game he's played for us.

Objectively one of the best signings we've made in recent years.

Half the stuff he posts is absurd (RB)

Lol. My erstwhile stalker from years ago returns.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The Club should be promoting the hell out of the Boxing day home fixture..should be pushing for 25k.

What an effort from everyone today, fantastic result but I'll never understand why we played like we did in the 2nd half and just sit back and invite pressure. Worked today but it's a risky policy 

Silly booking for Trav as well after he'd done so well recently.

We will miss him next week, not sure who the replacement will be, maybe Buckley or JRC ?

I'd expect Baker to come in

[Penwortham Blue]

Farke’s beef with Trav was the time spent on the deck, he reckoned 6 times without a trainer being called 😊 TBF to him, he did say that Rovers deserved the win and is usually pretty fair that way, my recollection is that he was also pretty magnanimous when Sammy won it for us at Elland Road.

[MarkBRFC]

To a man i thought we were superb.

A real team performance.

Just tried put that on and it’s 21/1. Got £1.50 on Hyam instead for £100 back

You could imagine me screaming when he fluffed that chance lol

[DeeCee]

Absolutely stoked! Amazing performance from the team and coaching staff 🏆 

 

[Lancaster Rover]

That really was a well planned and perfectly executed performance. The structure of the press and out of possession shape was brilliant.

I’m not Dolan’s biggest fan but he was a worth winner of MOTM. 
 

once again Leeds flatter to deceive and for all their possession created very little. On the balance of chances we had 3 excellent opportunities (bar, Cantwell x2) and they had 0

[Cherry Blue]

Brilliant team & management performance.

Leeds & Borough have scored must goals in Championship. 

🤣

Was Cantwell taking off because of an injury?

It looked like it, but I was in the ground and haven't seen it back - hopefully nothing serious, if it is.

Also, Dolan was brilliant today.

He looked ok walking round after game.

You know you've played well when you've reduced the Leeds fans to bleating on about Dolan's yellow not being a red. 

It was blatant to be fair, we’ll take the decisions that go our way though, evens out 

[Neal]

Can't put into words how proud I am of everyone at the club after this past week. To take 2 clean sheets and 6 points from those games is absolutely unreal. Players like Pears and Dolan deserve the credit they're due after quickly getting the criticsm they're sometimes due. John Eustace has created a mentality and work ethic that any football fan would be proud of. We have outworked both Leeds and Boro showing that football isn't always about ability but organisation and work ethic. 

 

Absolutely everyone today was 10/10, it was a great feeling to send that lot packing with nothing. 

 

Today was summed up by Tronstad throwing himself in front of shots and typical Joe Rothwell busy busy with no end product. A Leeds team with loads of ability and no heart against a team willing to die for 3 points.

 

Hopefully we don't ruin it and keep picking up points in our upcoming games. I don't expect us to keep winning like we are put if we can keep playing the way we are then we're a very difficult side to play against at the moment. 

 

2nd half was absolute torture but the joy and pleasure of walking up the riverside at full time and giving that lot a few salutes to go home with was beautiful. Tears tasted delicious.  

 

GO ON BIG JOHN EUSTACE!

Isn't life great when the Rovers are performing and winning like this.

John Eustace, take a bow. That was planned and executed to perfection. Love this manager, love this team.

Tronstad has been  excellent since he signed has had  many more good performances than bad.

He is a defensive midfielder what part of his game do you not rate?What does he not do that you feel he should be doing?

If I remember correctly you also thought Graham was useless for us?

[islander200]

Last 2 games understandable why he hasn't seen any minutes but surely Durberry is going to be recalled by Brighton in January?

He was getting minutes (if not starts) until his injury so it probably depends upon what happens between now and January

Certainly was his last season or two. Couldn't move.

[Mattyblue]

End of the day this forum isn’t exactly the most forgiving when it comes to the ability of players, the fact that this place pretty much (I.e one exception) to a man think Tronstsdt’s been an excellent addition, means he’s been an excellent addition.

Not for the first time our Rev’s gone well off beam.

I'm surprised he hasn't been recalled already.

Doesn't seem like it was Eustace's choice to bring him in.

Can’t be recalled outside of the window.

Playing both of them down the left makes you very secure defensively, but offers nothing going forward.

I wouldn’t say nothing but it’s not a lot. Interesting to see Leeds attacking the Brittain - Dolan flank constantly in the second half. They knew the other flank was sewn up.
