Eustace surely happy we beat Plymouth

[TimmyJimmy]

Dolan, wow, wow, wow! What a performance. Happy that the MoM when to left back but Dokan, just wow. Round of applause.

 

3 points. Kenny on the bench. Good day. Very happy. Off for a Wok Star.

I love it! 
Scoring multiple goals, getting clean sheets!

Keep Lowe the rest of the season, why not!?

So we're paying him £20k a week to sit on the bench? That would be very Venky's Rovers. 

We are paying Siggy 18k a week to sit at home...

[neophox]

If you look at the statistics we were so superior today! Kargbo looked lethal.

[had.e.nuff]

great win and 50 points safetey  reached now lets see where we can finish COYB.

[joey_big_nose]

Looking at how we are playing, the players coming back, the fixtures and frequency of games reducing significantly we really should be feeling pretty confident about playoffs.

Hard to as a Rover though!!

Really? He scored and was brilliant setup by Kargbo but otherwise.......first half he was poor. The miss in the first half was poor.

Maybe we are paying him 15,000 to sit on the bench and 20,000 if he plays (or some sort of similar arrangement).

We’ve seen it in the past…

[BigBar]

73.5% possession for us today 😳

[B16Rover]

My thoughts on the next manager

Probably, but Cardiff and Hull picked up points. It’s been a very bad 24 hours for him. 

[rovers11]

Great result! Three wins out of four now. The big reason for that = the return of Lewis Travis. No doubt about that. One of the best midfielders in the league this season. 

January signings made a big difference today. Sanderson was solid, Forshaw had his best game so far, and Kargbo & Ribiero look class.

We still have arguably our best player to come back (Tronstad), Dennis and Ohashi to boost the attacking ranks, Beck and Carter to boost the defensive ranks. Things could be getting interesting...

[yankfan]

Great saves from their keeper. Gueye unlucky not to get on the score sheet

Looks like lowe is out of his depth picking that team. Just throwing darts at a dart board 

This post aged well

[neophox]

Think Gueye, Kargbo and Ribeiro are Gestedes...

[miqaayil]

Great win...keep the confidence flowing ...

[USABlue]

Well done lads, I thought for sure we lose that one.  Like the look if Kargbo,  way better than Cozier Duberry.  Good win.  Dare we begin to dream?

[yankfan]

Great performance, teams pushing for promotion need to make home matches vs bottom teams comfortable and we did that. 
 

Travis was fantastic, Ribeiro and Kargbo look like a real duo on the wing. Starting feel like this is a side that can make a real push!

Great result against a team who were starting to pick up momentum. Unfortunately for them, so are we!

Big decision to make - do we have faith in the remaining backroom staff and squad to get us over the line, or appoint an external manager for what remains of the season? It was a much easier answer before we won two on the spin without conceding. Good performances in both as well, and the list of external candidates is uninspiring to say the least.

It's only two games, granted, but can't deny we look like we're getting on a roll, and momentum is vitally important at this stage of the season. If the current team know how to carry on what Eustace had implemented, do we leave it be rather than bring in a potential disruption? 

My head says stop being stupid, we obviously need a proper manager in situ, but at the same time...

 

Bring Kenny as "moral support" and let them get on with it. New manager/head coach usually wants to demonstrate who is boss and inevitably some players get disturbed. Kenny is canny enough to only interfere if it starts going tits up and wouldn't feel the need to prove anything if Lowe is doing the job with Johnson, Benson and Sheron.

Only question is if it will affect us on a different level as we are effectively 3 coaches short compared to a month ago

[doctorryan]

Clean sheet, no injuries, +2, 3 points.

Good reffing for a change as well....& a decent match commentator, at least on CBS.

[Bohinen1983]

Thought Buckley was excellent when he came on. That ping out to Karbgo was world class.  After writing him off he's really taken his opportunity and is becoming a really important player.  Credit were credit is due.  Well done Bucko!

Ribiero needs tying down to a proper contract- belting player.

To think we've got Beck, Trondstadt, Carter to come back fairly soon- three key players.. And then we've got Dennis getting himself match fit.. Yikes! Think teams are gonna have a job on catching us...

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Get in boys, top stuff that 

Get the new man in this week and ride the crest of this wave

I've got big MAK scoring a 90th min winner at Wembley against the inbreds in May 🍆

[norwichblue]

Beautiful win. get in.

Fucking Cov with another injury time winner. Can’t stand them. Think they’re our biggest threat at this stage. Results gone nicely otherwise!

Man, come on, he ran hundred meter laps time after time after time. Incredible performance. Kept possession, scored, pressed like his life depended on it. I mean come on, what more do we ask for. Wish the bugger would sign a contract though!
