Today’s performance was one of the best front line performances I’ve seen in years. Done everything except score. The work this lad has clearly put in to improve his game is now showing. I was a critic but now love watching his battling and skilful performance.
Need to find him a partner. By comparison Gaffney is so far off the mark now let’s cut him loose.

Funny. I actually thought today wasn't one of his days.
Didn't win many headers, too many fancy flicks.
BUT he still had an impact which is why he's a better player this year than ever.
Vastly improved this year. Great win and (in my eyes) despite not being a vintage performance from Ellis he still contributed to the win.

I thought he won lots. Held the ball up. Won the penalty and dropped back to defend. Oh well perhaps I have my rose tint eyes on. I dud make a point of watching him and Bola today Instead of others. Things players do sometimes go in noticed.
Great performance by all

What has the kid got to do? Honestly. And at the same time people lining up Gaffney as his successor as forum whipping boy!
Dear Bristolians,
The sun shines sometimes! Smile!
Yours sincerely,
Gashead LJ

In my view Gaffney outplayed Harrison in the previous two games, today was just one of those games whatever he tried just didn't come off, although Nichols once again proved today just how hard it is to get in a decent striker.

Top man.
The funny thing about Elllis is that he didn't start slowly and become good, like the Snake, He was great from the start, and every season, but just not very frequently. Something has happened to him to make him so much more consistent this season.

I wouldn’t say Gaffney wipping boy but he plays well but doesn’t score enough and his final ball today was poor
Strikers are measured on goals and he is falling woefully short for our needs.

If he’d Have buried that one on one at the end it would have been the perfect game for Ellis, just took it to casual unfortunately but the chance itself came so casually it was probably hard not to.. I am very pleased with him this season tho and would love to bring in another striker to partner him as I don’t feel Gaffney or Nichols are the answer upfront

DC’s faith and the work the club clearly put into the players to improve. The fans support is also not to be ignored.

Funny that we see things differently. I thought Rory played well today and was a real handful for their defence. And I think DC thought he played well as he gave him a good reception at the substitution. Ellis also played very well as did everyone today. Against a top side, 0-1 down you’ve got to hand it to our lot they have a great never say never attitude. Well done to them all. UTG!

Hasn't Ellis scored one more league goal than Rory and started more games? So if we use that logic then isn't Ellis woefully short of our needs?

Thought Ellis was tremendous today, having a great season IMO.

Been our best player all season by a long shot. Yeah definitely our player of the season so far but I don’t see that means we need to get shot of Rory as Thread says, he’s had a good season too. If we’re going to let loose a forward to bring one in then loan out Nichols and get a striker in.

Might be worth looking at the facts before we slag off Gaffney! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/bristol-rovers/top-scorers

Bradford had 2 men on Rory for a lot of the first half. Not his finest game today, but I think he's shown previously that he can be an important member of the team.

If only I had a pound for every thread I have seen titled Ellis Harrison.

You probably said "lets cut him loose" about ellis when you were "a critic"

BathGas senior always used to berate him for being a lazy so and so who did nothing but now he sings his praises quite often for his all round contribution and how he in his words “has come along a lot” and “the penny seems to have finally dropped”! UTG!
