Not sure if others have said, but JB said post match to watch the run from Hanlan for the first goal. I’ve just seen the highlights and it’s true what JB said, he deserves an assist for that goal, his run across the defenders to the near post drags 2 players with him leaving Leahy free to score. Leahy I feel is actually the player I want on the end of chances in the box, he is a clinical finisher for a left back. On my second celebratory ale, and it may be the beer speaking but I’m so happy for all the lads, they deserved that win and they’ve had many knocks often unfairly and it shows some real character to put that shift in. They were a pleasure to watch (except the last 3 mins) and if they can keep that level or improve it, if they stay together, we have a team who can go places in this league next year. Bear in mind we have Oztumer and Ayunga on the bench. Both who are seriously good players on their day. I do wonder why Oz isn’t getting games as he is probably our biggest name, and think he’s performed quite well most times he’s played I'd sooner we concentrated on staying in L1 this season than getting ahead of ourselves, just likes we did when we beat Wycombe in our last relegation season, we could easily be sat here this time next week having suffered 3 losses or just the 1 draw and be back in the bottom 4. One game at a time for sure, for my own sanity I try not to thinking about next season yet

One game at a time for sure, for my own sanity I try not to thinking about next season yet I know what you mean. My only train of thought regarding Rovers and the signing of JB is that I really hope he can keep us up this season and get to that point of the end of season before he does something stupid and gets himself in trouble. I actually think he could possibly go on to do brilliant things for us for a few years but as long as he keeps us up for now and stays out of trouble I’d be delighted I know we all would. He’s an interesting character because so far he’s come across as a really humble gentleman and a genuinely nice bloke who’s educated and very knowledgeable in the game and he’s clearly got a calm caring side to him and empathy , his comments about Cotteril and the Gashead who recently passed away show that. So far so good but I know I’ll be on the edge of my seat not only regarding our safely but his behaviour until that last final whistle of the season.

I think Joeys potential to be hot headed is something that will linger in the minds of most, and it will no doubt be used against him for many years to come by way of criticism and likely mental games form opponents. That’s something he has to, and seems to be accepting/dealing with quite well so far. He talks a good game but I think you can already see impact on the pitch so I’m feeling good about everything right now... but it’s easy to let your heart get broken by getting carried away with the gas lol

With a court case in June he can't afford to get into any mischief and will want to be able to point to a clean sheet at Rovers in that regard and hope for leniency. He may be stupid at times but he's not that stupid to want to return to a prison cell.
