It’s like they’ve had a crisis meeting to vent their grievances and move forward. Tonight we were a team with fight, everyone did their bit as part of a collective. Powerful stuff. Yeah I got that feeling. Almost as if Garner had said ok I’ve put my ideas forward it’s not working I want you lot to give me feed back to tell me why your not making it work I want to hear it ? They gave their feedback , put some ideas forward and what we saw was a formation similar although not the same as coughlans but with the solid defensive mentality with the same attacking roles .regarding JCH not isolated. Or perhaps he asked Maher or Mans for more advice who knows but it bloody worked . Outstanding performance and that horrible cheating side didn’t have a single shot on goal. |

Parkinson's verdict
Phil Parkinson admitted Sunderland lost their way and ‘stopped playing’ after getting frustrated by a series of refereeing decisions at Bristol Rovers.
Parkinson was unhappy with referee Charles Breakspear’s erratic decisions, and also pointed to an incident just in front of the Sunderland bench when Jordan Willis was flattened by Luke Leahy as the moment when Sunderland lost their cool.

Football, bloody hell! funny ole game in it! so pleased for team and especially BG, take a bow Ben, one small step but its a start, chuffed to bits for fans who at last have something to celebrate! does make you wonder though what the hell the players have been doing the two previous games, as it turned out a vital win with Tranny winning! PS COCKERGAS FOR PRESIDENT!! just home and still buzzing, when I started this match thread I said I had a feeling we could get something. Best game of the season for me, real desire from the players and a cracking atmosphere created by us gasheads from the off, and here was me worried about it being toxic. Don’t forget to start it Saturday. |

The ref, I'm sad to say, was all over the place with some mega baffling decisions. Ironically, he favoured Sunderland in the 1st half (when Willis was fouled) and then calmed down a bit in the 2nd. Sunderland do too much weights and don't play enough football - Parkinson will surely be sacked if they don't go up - rightly so ! |

Expected the worst tonight and was pleasantly surprised.
Aside from any manager stuff which I don't think there's much point getting into tonight, rovers controlled the game tonight. Lovely move for the goal and JCH will be gutted he's had a hattrick snatched away from him by a(nother) dodgy ref. Their lot only threatened in injury time which is testament to our control on the night.
I completely agree with what others have said, the 3 central defenders with wing backs was a formation that was stumbled upon this season and works. The players are comfortable and just play better in it. Please stick with it!

Shout out to the 12th man tonight, us!
Atmosphere was brilliant this evening. I was nervous it was gonna be hostile this evening, but the faithful and true got right behind the boys. Just as much a part of that win as the players today.

That’s was sod all just two players coming together in a 50/50( I’ve seen the replay) Just one of many situations where their players went down like they’d been hit by Tyson Fury after a 50/50 only to get back up and run back on a minute later. I’d rather we were bottom half of the league and have the honest bunch we’ve got than the cheating wankers they’ve got trying work their way back to the championship by cheating just because they’re underachieving and under pressure. Also where’s our Sunderland friend who was so keen to come on here a few weeks back ? What do you think of your lot now ? Cheated to get Ogogo sent off a couple of weeks ago and cheated even more tonight but it didn’t work out ? Anything to say ? |

Pretty sure 94.17% of the forum are eating it tonight Not me  Nor me 👍 As a couple of others have said I think tonight proved the players are still with the manager. Credit to BG for going back to what we are good at, solid defensively as a start point and support for JCH. Thought both Hargreaves & Mitchell-Lawson were excellent never gave Sunderlands back 3 a minutes peace. A thoroughly deserved victory yes Sunderland were poor but we never let them play, hopefully this is the turning point. |

The guys a bad loser, always has been. We had as many decisions if not more go against us tonight,including a blatant stonewall penalty. His team got out muscled and out fought...simple as that. |

The players are comfortable and just play better in it. Please stick with it! I agree with that except stumbled upon. What we have is an average at best possibly even relegation battler squad in terms of technicality but there is a way of playing that Coughlan found at the end of last season and brought the right players in at the right time to strengthen that and when we stick to that formation and way of playing literally every club in this division struggles to cope with us. Those that remember our championship winning season 89/90 will see the similarities. I’m not saying we should stick with it forever things can evolve but those kind of things take time and you can’t chsnge things like Garner has tried to change things in 3 months. He’s only a kid he’s learning but fair play credit where it’s due tonight he got it right . What a win. |

It was brilliant tonight but I am concerned about the players attitude. What we had tonight was effort and determination, was it just because we were playing Sunderland? A good team has the right attitude against both high and low sides. We need to see it against the Southend's too. JCH was a different player tonight.

How can we go from getting comfortably beat by a team consisting of academy players to easily beating Sunderland tonight? I just don’t get Rovers sometimes. It doesn’t sound like Sunderland turned up tonight. Perhaps they looked at our form and result against Southend and felt they didn’t need to bother? More tough games coming up which is good in a way because it will test whether there has been a material change or it’s more a case that Sunderland rolled over for us. How were they ever going to get their slick passing game going whilst rolling around on the floor all evening. There were 11 minutes of injury time tonight, and I can't remember a Rovers player delaying the game through injury once. |

So what happened on Monday at training did the players ask BG if they could go back to playing the GC way for TC's 600th game, as I can't understand where that performance came from. Even JCH returned to his pre-November injury form, Rodman probably played is best game ever in a Rovers shirt & OC probably had his best game of the season by some margin. We pressed their defence must more than under coughlan imo. So for me although some parts of the game were like coughlan it was different in that respect. We only played with one defensive midfield player which coughlan seldom did or garner until now. |

Would tonight’s performance and result have been achieved if those who wanted to create a negative, toxic atmosphere and orchestrated abuse of BG form the first minute got their way?

Did the protest on the pitch below box 1 happen?
