Oh give over.

[neophox]

Nice to see OGrady.Macken coming on his debut

[Darwen Rover 007]

We deserved to win that 

[Scoobydo]

Buckley had a decent game 

[neophox]

Gueye looked fit and sharp hopefully he will do well on Wednesday!

[Darwen Rover 007]

Message for Venkys..

BACK THIS GUY 

He is massively punching and in my opinion best manager since Big Sam!! 

[BigBar]

Happy days, no injuries, was like a training game, through to the next round and back to winning ways...enjoy your weekend men👌

[waynerovers]

Good to get a win under our belts gets some confidence back in squad after a tough december period.

[norwichblue]

Well done lads. Nice win going into Wednesday.

Played 3 of the top 6 so far this year and got WDL. Why couldn’t we have got any points against those bastards last weekend 🥵

[Trinidad Rover]

Toth was good. Immeasurably better than Wahlstedt, even on 90 mins viewing. Good to see.

Gregg really signed some crap didn’t he.

Great result, no injuries. 

I would like a London prem team away next selfishly!

[Paul Mellelieu]

Well done Rovers.

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

Expand  

I think he can if we play to his strengths i.e. winger needed. His all round play was nice and tidy today, can’t fault him at all.

i loved jdt but eustace is less rigid and better tactically imo,just give him some ****** money

[RevidgeBlue]

Great result! Made up with that.

Well done to John Eustace for putting out a reasonably strong side and not bowing to the 11 changes brigade.

Wycombe at home in round 4 please!

Can we play you every week....

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

We seem to have their measure don't we, we can also go above them into 5th

if we beat Pompey in our game in hand on Wednesday. Pompey are shocking away.

Why Wycombe?

[RutlandRover]

Gueye was good. No attacking threat but in fairness I suspect he was told his job was to get hold of the ball and make it stick to keep the pressure away from our defence. Not exactly swashbuckling football but it's damned effective. 1 - 0 to the Rovers is becoming a pretty familiar scoreline now.

[Tugayisgod]

Let's not fuck it up Wednesday now, win and up to 5th. Hopefully another player or two in soon as well 🤞

He did sign some rubbish, but also brought in Tronstad and Szmodics so all is forgiven in my eyes

Me to. Really pleased. Start gifting games away and that mentality will seep into every area of the club.

Brave starting eleven and good use of our subs as usual.

Apparently we are unbeaten in 11 matches at their place.

Yes fingers crossed against Portsmouth. We looked fit and strong today and thoroughly deserved to win.
