What a result, what a performance! We’ve played 3 of the division’s top teams in the last few weeks - 2 away from home - and we’ve taken a big 5 points. We dominated most of that and fully deserved the points. Trav, once again, was central to that. Delighted, let’s keep it rolling and see where it takes us.

I do think this summer is massive, for both GB and JDT; we can't have another January. I've said before, but we seem to be fishing in the right ponds (Anel / Cantwell / Hyam / O'Brien / etc), so we have to land a few this summer. Obviously the league we're in will dictate our draw, but it really is a pivotal summer.

I'd be very surprised if JDT sends them out, all guns blazing - like we did at Leicester. I'm expecting similar to the last couple of home games; solid and steady in the first half, bit more adventurous in the second half. Some really weird comments in that SUFC thread/site. Taking a Dingle's advice on all things Rovers, thinking we won the Prem in 1993, thinking we've not won a trophy since, thinking we expect to be in the Prem (despite being still the 13th most successful club in English football history, like...). They have massive scumbag section of their fans. I used to police in the S.Yorks area (past life, I saw the light) and they have a disproportionate number of dickheads in their fan base. They'd arrange to meet up with rival fans in fields before/after a match, just to punch each other in the head - for the grand crime of supporting a different team to themselves. Really weird caveman mentality.

That was my thought - if City or Utd are going to beat us, I'd rather it was at Wembley!

It's winnable, for sure. Not a glamour tie, but gives us more chance to reach a semi-final.

Fortunately for us, Trav has stepped up and is producing the kind of midfield displays that we'd get from O'Brien (kind of). But I agree, we do need full disclosure from the club.

Looks an absolute snip at £1.5m, or whatever we paid for him. Pears in the same boat; he's been faultless and it'll take some doing for TK to get back into the side at the moment (when he's fit).

If our Marketing / Sales team have absolutely any commercial sense - and want to help the team on the pitch - now is the time to fill the stadium for the run-in. Momentum is with us; a full (or fuller) Ewood could literally be the difference for us.

What. A. Result. The momentum this could give us, going into the run-in...

Travis has been immense today - and recently.

I've not been as critical of him as some on here, but his second half tonight has been several shades lower than the rest of the team. Scared on the ball, wasteful and just putting the pressure back onto us, when they were on top. Hopefully we've got away with it.

Morton looks a bit scared to be out there, doesn't want the ball. Get him off before it hurts us.

Disallowed goal, several missed chances. We know how the script goes from here...

Looks a snip at £1.5m or whatever we paid for him 😉

2-0. Sammie!

Imagine how we'll look once the style is fully bedded in and some new blood is added to the mix. We need to stay patient and let JDT work his magic.

Seems that we're hitting our form and playing JDT's style just at the right time of the season. Could be an interesting last dozen or so games.

Dolan! Fully deserved. Brilliant.

Appreciate it's only one game, with some of their first teamers missing, but we are more than holding our own against an average Prem team. And that's with 2 of our best players out.

Probably should be 2-2, good chances at either end. We're certainly going for it, fair play. JRC is fucking amazing, what the hell has JDT been feeding him?

Despite recent years, in my lifetime (back end of my 30's), I'm really grateful to have seen us win the Premier League and then be at this final, to see us lift the League Cup as well. What a day - I won't repeat what loads of others have already posted in terms of the memories of the day, but absolutely one of my favourite days as a Rovers supporter. Hughes was a warrior, Jansen and Cole the goal heroes, but this was the Brad Friedel cup final. An absolute monster between the sticks, as he consistently was for us.

I came on this thread to say the exact same thing. An extra 5k-10k fans for each of the final 7 games now could make a huge difference - we have the momentum on the pitch, we have to try and capitalise off it. Time to earn your salary, Steve...

I think this summer's window is huge for GB; he just about got a pass in his first window (thanks to Hyam and Brittain), but the January window was an unmitigated disaster. I'm sure JDT will have made it clear that he needs to be supported with good quality new additions and whilst we're fishing in the right ponds (Ahmedodzic / Hyam / O'Brien / Cantwell), we have to do whatever possible to land a few in the summer. GK: With Pears' recent form, I think we have 2 very good Championship GKs, so no priority here. DF: Similarly, with JRC and Carter's form in recent months - as well as Phillips coming through the ranks - I don't we're pretty well stocked here, too. MF: Central mid being the glaring area for improvement, even if Trav has shown that he's up for filling the O'Brien-sized gap in the last few games. We need an experienced head, someone to dominate a midfield battle and take control of games. Good luck finding one within our budget. ST: The other glaring gap in the squad, as everybody here knows. We had targets in January, most of whom were unknowns to most of us, but we simply cannot fail in this area in the summer. I'd prefer us to keep BBD as a wide striker, if possible and Dolan's progression is going well, but we need somebody to lead the line. A Danny Graham type, or even a Jordan Rhodes to be a fox in the box. Whichever way, GB and his team can not fail in this area in the summer.

One thing I didn't realise (until I read it tonight) was that we have 7 of the remaining 12 games at Ewood. And we have the best / 2nd best home record in the league; JDT has us consistently picking points up at home. We have incredible chance to make the top 6, which would be an immense achievement for a manager who's never managed in this country, never mind the league. And that's before you consider the squad he inherited. Oh, and JRC is my new favourite player.

3 consecutive wins, 11 points from the last 15. Fair fucks to Trav today, that was an ‘O’Brien’ level performance. JRC deserves a mention, too. I think it might be happening, boys and girls…
