Sky commentators totally biased to Wednesday just as they were v Boro. One of them even kept referring to "we" in his comments about Wednesday. Why do Rovers always always get this treatment from Sky? The commentators they put out don't even pretend to be impartial and mostly haven't even done their homework on Rovers.. 

Long may it continue.

Hedges looks a lot better playing on his natural side. I’m not his biggest fan but thought he played well tonight. His work rate, like the rest of the team, is phenomenal.

JRC also had a good game. He looked a sharper than in recent appearances.

I thought he was awful. Gave the ball away numerous times

Desperately need a forward 

We desperately need pace and width.

Another absolutely superb result.

We're a bit of a horrible team but that makes me love it even more.

Genuinely thought the header came off the defender for our goal but hopefully it didn't and it's Big Mac's to take home. Delighted for him, though he played really well overall as well.

Shout out to Barry Bannan as well, 35 years young but the bloke can play.

I know we’re all feeling optimistic right now but we’d have to win by 8 😄

So you're telling me there's a chance.

So does everybody. It’s his work rate that impresses, also the 2nd game in a row that his cross has led indirectly to the winner.

Five wins in a row and 4 clean sheets in a row. Eustace is some manager.

Big Mak was outstanding when he came on.

Thought it was JRCs cross

Putting Batth next to him ! 

He looked much better when we put McFadzean next to him too - clearly he thrives as the junior partner in a centre back pairing.

It was. His cross led directly to the goal.

I said hedges cross led indirectly to the goal, as it did at Hull.

A lot of times Sky just picks up the audio feed of 1 club or the other; it's cheaper than sending their own crews.....They do seem to choose the other club's commentators more often than not.

Absolutely braindead of Cantwell to get himself suspended after being subbed!

Guess that's the price we pay for having someone of his quality. 

Misses the Luton game - has been taken off on 80 minutes anyway the last few games. Won't do him any harm having a rest and wipes the slate clean on his cards.

I've no idea how he's accrued 5 of them though, he's hardly a tough tackling CM.

No Doomsday play, just a simple shoulder shrug when we ask for some transfer funds.

 Thought he was at least as good as anyone else, at least until Mac came on😁

maybe,but carter was playing equally well and now when he`s back he is going to be struggling to get back in the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!nice problem to have

personally i think mcfadzean has been influential behind the scenes

I think experience alongside experience is benefitting Hyam. He may have found the younger, less experienced but fitter and faster Carter harder to read in order to know how to act accordingly himself.

[Forever Blue]

I know we shouldn’t really say, but it was definitely an own goal wasn’t it? The LT is saying what a great header it was from Gueye. I feel like I’m in a parallel universe😉

Bugger off.... If Gueye wasn't there we wouldn't have scored. His goal all day. 

[wilsdenrover]

Today was the last game for a suspension for five yellows - how annoying.
