I thought if he’d gone down instead of trying to control it once past the GK if had maybe been a pen, though maybe not with this referee. A Premier League player would have gone down under any context and won a pen. 

Expand  

A premier league player would have finished it

[sharpysharps86]

Despite his earlier miss, he has at least scored and we're getting to the point where Weimann is our best option as a number 9.

Incredibly surprised we've not made a sub yet.

Expand  

We've actually not been stretched. Been allowed to sit deep and compact. Would be making a sub for the hell of it at this point.

I absolutely agree with this as it stands right now who is a better finisher in our team / squad

He's levels above Gueye for me. Gueye is unbelievably clumsy and just causes chaos. Occasionally he gets away with it and the chaos helps us. 

Expand  

In a 5 a side you want Leonard on your team. In an XI a side game you want Gueye.

More good saves from Toth, can see why Pears thinks the pressure is on

Expand  

He looks a much better GK than Pears. 

[neophox]

Gueye done well in his 10 mins

[B16Rover]

How can Gueye not cleanly strike a ball but pull out step overs like that 

[Cherry Blue]

Well done lads!

[CD_93]

Dreadful watch but job done

[Dave f]

Gueye actually done ok since coming on, imagine if he could actually finish

[RTM08]

Solid result, classic 1-0 to the Rovers. Second half much better from an attacking standpoint but we are desperate for a finisher or two in the team.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Job done.

[Forever Blue]

Always easy work at Boro.

Well done lads!

[Tugayisgod]

Round 4 , no injuries, job done.

Brittain mom for me

Toth looks good shot stopper and handling good, footwork is a wip.

 

[neophox]

Clean sheet for Toth!

[onlyonejackwalker]

Can we play you every week....

Every credit. Well done to ALL of our players. Go on big John Eustace.

[BigHoz]

Gueye looked pretty sharp in his little camo

[Darwen Rover 007]

Anyone know what style of play this youngster is? 

[bigbrandjohn]

Great result. Well drilled. Good squad effort. Well done Eustace. You are doing a terrific job with minimal resources.
