I’m glad for the win, but apparently one of the least inspiring performances in Rovers recent history

Expand  

Battle of attrition, like a trip to the dentists you fight through and we came through it, disciplined.

3 half chances is all we created and Yuki should have made a better choice with the first but I thought both he and Gueye did well initially for their almost identical solo chances but both fluffed the finish. 

[Tugayisgod]

Whisper it quietly, but could Pears be turning into a half decent keeper ?

Just saying

Possibly a gust, I just have zero faith that Pears isn’t going to drop a massive clanger every time the ball is near him. 
 

Got a bit lucky, but given the conditions and “new manager bounce” it’s a nice win ☺️

 

Massive credit to the brave Rovers making the trip! Get home safe! 🤞🏻

Expand  

But he isn't doing is he and all you can do when you are mistake ridden is try to iron them out and this season so far he has.

Probably will drop a clanger at some point but most average championship keepers have one or two in the locker it goes with the turf.

Lets give the lad massive credit for turning things around.

As predicted half of this month's points haul from Hull now banked.

One of if not the most boring game I've ever watched. Only Rovers can take pleasure from that rubbish, and we do with no shame, all that is needed is one in the onion bag.

Highlights-  that Pears clearance, the commentator calling Gueye, when he got booked, ACD. And the OG of course.

Expand  

I’m glad I’m not subject to the rovers commentary too often, got loads of time for Yardley but the other guy is painful, is he a regular?

[norwichblue]

Will take an ugly win all day long. 4 on the trot. 3 clean sheets. Long live Eustace ball.

Eustace continues to get the absolute max out of this team. Was a tricky one, horrendous weather conditions and it was hard to tell what we would get with Hull having just appointed a new manager, even if he wasn't technically in charge today.

Rovers appear on the face of it to be a consistent goal scorer away from being a solid top 6 side. We all know that there are weaknesses but Eustace is doing well to nullify those at the moment.

It won't last forever, but lets enjoy a 4th win in a row for now :).

[Hasta]

12 points from 12 has certainly made it the most wonderful time of the year (so far)

Beck was outstanding again.

Another day, another win. Poor performance to judge from the comments on here but who's complaining?

Well earned 3 points then even though we played shit.

Expand  

We didn't play shit. We kept another clean sheet and won away from home against a team desperate to impress, fighting for their lives.

That is far from shit at this level of pro-sport. Every fucking credit to every single person involved, including our fans.

[KentExile]

Good away win in terrible conditions,

I thought it was interesting that Beck played the Pickering role at left back (tucking inside rather than bursting forwards)

Why is it that Gueye seems to have a decent first touch, but every other touch gets increasingly worse?

[K-Hod]

4 straight wins. 
Could not be happier to write that!

[moerpho]

3-1 vs Cardiff

I’ve amended it and explained I made the mistake of believing a commentator.

Dreadful game but very satisfying result. Our attack is so poor, Hedges, Dolan and Ohashi offer no real threat week in week out so its testament to Eustace that he is managing to consistently churn out results with such a limited side and its a shame that he hasnt been given proper tools as who knows how well he could do. Off the ball, everyone knows exactly what they are doing.

Thought the stand out player again was Beck who was excellent. The whole defence again stood up to task and Baker whilst not as effective as Travis slotted in nicely with Tronstad.

Another calamitous cameo from Gueye. Just use Leonard ahead of him.

It was just a jest. Hopefully yours is a premonition for the next match.

[BankEnd Rover]

How did ACD play? Presume the conditions wouldn't of suited his style?

Not sure but I had the Hull version today. They were quite reasonable.

[Bronzed A Donis]

Great result. You can't say that was a poor performance, in those conditions,  we did what we needed too, we played against the wind for 45 minutes against a side chasing the game and saw the game out, sort of performance we've missed loads over the years. A couple of better passes and we'd probably got another on the break.

He was talking about 4 straight 1-0 wins at Hull. Whether that's correct either I don't know.

Calamitous how? He held the ball up and he defended well in our box.

[yellowsubmarine]

Really wanted Yuki to get his goal. He works really hard for the team and for his height, he wins a fair share of headers. Still think he's gonna come good.

Tidy on the ball. Nowhere near as quick as many of you want him to be. Did well to win a corner late and worked hard to track Giles every time he overlapped.

It's really difficult to influence the game in 10-15 minutes.

Interesting. 

Not watching so how's my mate "Never has a bad game" Tronstad playing?

Helped us to another three points and clean sheet, not complaining 😊
