  1. That was a complete performance against a very good side. Bristol City are as low as they are because of an horrific run of injuries they are recovering from. Yes we were very fortunate not to concede twice but three other scoring chances they carved out were denied by superb defensive work plus an exceptional Walton save. Notable Casey Palmer not even in their squad... The second half in particular was a supreme performance from the team almost totally nullifying Bristol City in every aspect of the game. One game but that looked like a promotion outfit out there and I cannot think I have felt that way about any game in the Championship since 2001. Walton made me feel completely comfortable about seeing him in goal for the first time this season, Bell showed there is a great left back under that laconic demeanour at long last, Johnson immense, Lenihan even immenser (not a word but it is how I feel), Bennett deployed where his strengths are best used and the lad showed he knows his limitations so didn't try what he can't do, Holtby showed today why he has those German caps, Travis energy and skill fabulous. Nyambe continues to display form which points to him.becoming a fabulous wing back. I also think we saw a glimpse of a £12m future up front. Pairing Gallagher and Brereton worked. Gallagher was the unsung hero working all across the front line looking dangerous whenever on the ball and was veritably the first line of defense when we were out of possession. Brereton had a few moments we all despair of but he also did many things to confound the view he isn't a footballer. Two final points. 1) A poster rightly observed Johnson raised his arms in celebration before Armstrong had scored. He raised his arms in celebration after looking at the linesman having seen he had played the ball before Arma could go offside! 2) What do you do with Dack Downing Evans Rothwell and Graham? That eleven yesterday deserve another start.
  2. I discredited Mowbray with 4 defeats. Well this is one chalked off emphatically. Mowbray put out a fabulous team this afternoon. I have watched more Championship football than is good for anyone's sanity and I haven't seen any club put on a more complete performance than Rovers this afternoon. It was that good.
  3. For all the Bristol City chances, we are up 4-1 in strikes on target.
  4. I have the iFollow working perfectly in Malta. That said, they have done the voice check and gone silent ... Perth blue click on the Rovers crest and it will take you to the match day centres
  5. Struth, what's that. Tony go and have a lie down, all this thinking is not good for you..
  6. Courts and FIFA have prevailed against third party ownership of players.
  7. I buy on a game by game basis given my extremely unpredictable schedule. However, I did take up their E18 for December offer @ E3 per game.
  8. Watched Rovers 3 Leicester 1 Good win from u-23s considering they'd lost the last 3 and Leicester were looking to add to their run of 8 wins. Really impressed by Fisher. Mols looking good. Chapman both good and bad- gave away totally needless penalty which Fisher saved. If anything, the youngsters made Smallwood look like the baby in the side!
  9. What is this nonsense? Due to broadcasting restrictions, tomorrow's @SkyBetChamp clash with Bristol City will be unavailable to stream on iFollow both in the UK and internationally.
  10. Don't think Bristol City can be as bad again as they were in losing home to Millwall. This is another level of difficulty again beyond the Swansea game. Coming back with a point would be huge. Play Holtby in the Dack role, Johnson alongside Evans, Travis to replace Rothwell and pray for Downing to be OK. Bennett gives the ball away too much to be a safe option anywhere.
  11. Because the ref was crap and Dack getting sent off was inevitable. He got sent off for accidentally standing on the guy behind him doing a typical Dack spin. 11 v 10 with Holtby in the Dack space with Evans having another good game was obvious. Rothwell might have prospered with the additional freedom that would have given him if Gallagher had come on for DG in a double sub on the 60th minute.
  12. Worry is Downing had a poor game and tired really badly. Bennett would get slaughtered at left back v Bristol City. Williams hasn't travelled- got a huge head ache there.
  13. 1-1 FT. Really rubbish second half from Mowbray. Obvious player to replace Dack in Holtby on the bench change should have been made the moment Carroll was sent off.
  14. Sack has to be very careful with Carrol getting that second yellow.
