One league game to go, what’s been your best Rovers moments this season, on the pitch of course?
Game - Rochdale (A) easily
Goal - Nicky Anderton, Harrogate Away. The most unexpected goal scorer and victory on my birthday Weekender
Moment - Lofty clean through at Vale Park
Special mention to Evans rocket against Barrow (I think it was) in front of the Thatchers and Collins scoring from almost the East Terrace against Sutton with the keeper stranded!

In all the recent excitement it's easy to forget the Oxford cup game!

A sub, a signing, transferring a player on loan, a first starting 11 for a particular game. Just think he should be up for a best moment this season, just my opinion. Take the manager out of the running, and I agree with you Big Jock |

The ball hitting the back of the next in the 96th minute on Saturday. Unreal scenes. So glad I was there to witness it.

Rochdale last 10 minutes will live in the memory for sure.
Another moment. Pitman headed goal in 90th minute at Bradford got us a point. The celebration then showed me how much spirit there was in this team. It was then I truly believed we were on to something.

However I was down the bottom of that stand faster than usain bolt from my position near the top when the 4th went in. |

Goalkeepers you are right rarely get a mention, good shout |

There can only be one nomination for goal of the season and that has to be the last goal from Saturday. if you watch it back you will see just how every player involved really bust a gut to get that ball in the net. Had that goal not gone in we would not even be guaranteed a play off spot and had no real chance of the automatics. That makes it goal of the season for me - forget the fancy footwork or 45 yard screamers.

Sounds boring I know but the point in the season where things changed for me and I went home thinking for the first time that we were going to win promotion or at least come close and give it a good go was Walsall at home.
We went down to 10 men fairly early but showed the kind of commitment and fight that’s needed and won 1-0.
I think it was January maybe early Feb and everyone I told that we’d be in top 7 or maybe even 3 said I was mad.
Crazy moments of brilliance there have been many since then too many to name but for me that was the turning point and foundation for where we are now.

UTG I'd agree with that, the other one for me was Harrogate away. They've fallen away but at the time we're flying high and that was the first top end side we'd gone away & turned over. |

Limbs when we equalised away at Swindon. At that point I thought we’ve got a good second half of the season to go.

I’m not sure why exactly but that away win at Walsall, seeing so many going mental, especially a large contingent of young people celebrating, it still stays with me as possibly the turning point when the fans started to believe we have something special coming.

The answer to all of these will be revealed Saturday as Billy dances through the defence in the 92 minute to blast the 6th goal into the roof of the net just as the cobblers game final whistle goes and their 2-1 victory is not enough.
Goodnight Irene

However I was down the bottom of that stand faster than usain bolt from my position near the top when the 4th went in. It’s moments like this that make me feel home sick! After ten years of living abroad this is what I miss the most (no disrespect to my family of course!!!) |

Game - Rochdale, un-f*cking-believable
Goal - Seems a lifetime ago now, and didn't count for much as we lost, but Cian Harries 25 yard Volley way back on the opening day of the season away at Mansfield was a screamer
Moment - Pitch invasion at Rochdale

I love how these moments are all so personal to the individual. For me the moment is Pitman’s header against Bradford as it was my son’s first Gas game and was instrumental in him getting the Rovers bug. Total scenes at full time and that against the odds comeback was one of the first signs that we had something special brewing in terms of team spirit. It was also the same score line as my first Gas game when we came from behind (with two late Devon White goals) to draw with Chester, so there’s a nice symmetry for me there.
Goal is Evans against Carlisle where he beats his man with a beautiful bit of skill and then drills a left footed shot into the far corner.
Game of the season has to be Rochdale, closely followed by Vale and Oxford.

Probably not a popular choice but goal of the season for me was Harries v Mansfield.
Technically brilliant. Left foot volley hitting a ball dropping from a great height from outside the area and launching it like a rocket into the far top corner.
If that was Messi, Ronaldo, Salah etc it would be rated as a worldie.
Moment -when Kevin Bond joined. No coincidence that after a few weeks watching and surveying what was going on, he started to have an impact and everything changed.
Game - Rochdale nuff said!
