Injuries are a big negative. Need to keep our fingers crossed for those. Big positive I felt was that we allowed our wingbacks a bit more freedom instead of the boring backwards and sideways football and they both played well for me. Worried about Collins and Rossiter. Looked like Collins may have jarred or rolled his ankle missing an open goal from a yard. Looked in a lot of pain and couldn’t put his weight on it - didn’t look happy when he was helped to the dressing room by two of the staff. The Rossiter one seemed innocuous and looked like he was going to play on before walking straight off down the tunnel - it looked like his knee which is a concern given his history. Joey says not and saw something completely different. Let’s hope it’s nothing worse than bruising.

Please don't let us have a HOME match against Accrington Stanley.
Likely to be a drab 1-0 defeat.

Surprised we started with Collins tonight half expected us to give Saunders a start, he is a decent player and when he does play always has an impact with is strong running, pace and an eye for goal, I know he had some good players ahead of him but he deserves more game time.

From my end of the east terrace just looked like he’d missed the ball in front of the open net. Fingers crossed Rossiter hasn’t aggravated his knee - he’s become one of our most important players in the last few months.

It sounded like he’d rolled his ankle from comments on here and thought he could be out for weeks . Fair play for going tonight , you must be mad ! 😂👍

Just watched the highlights. does make you wonder what is the point. 3 (?) games from Wembley and there is noone there but we've potentially got an injury and a suspension from a comprehensive win.
I'll still be there for the final and it's great that the likes of Hoole, Marquis, and Saunders get a boost but this tourney is the embers of what it could be.

Just watched Alfies sending off how is that a red card yet the challenge on Mason Mount in the World Cup was just a yellow ? Its more clumsy than deliberate its a very soft red card in my opinion

Good result despite adding to the injury list. Key issues. I thought collins slightly caught his foot on the ground with the 2 foot out miss. Alfie was very unlucky to even concede the pen let alone get a red. I suspect ,unfortunately for him,that might be the last time we see Alfie in a game for Rovers. Sad to think how well he was playing alongside craig under GC . At that point the talk was of someone coming in to buy AK . Thanks to Garner though Alfie looks like he is heading down the ladder.
Good to see a good performance and a couple of well taken goals for John Marquis.
It wasnt the best most fluent Rovers performance but some of the fringe players did step up and give a good account of themselves.
Overall its good when you win 4-1 but still feel the team could have played better.

Genuine question How was that even a booking? Let alone a red card? The club will surely appeal and win, not sure if it was even a pen! Terrible decision imo UTG

Would many fans go to Wembley for a Mickey Mouse trophy final? I wouldn’t , went to both finals for the previous competition but haven’t been to a game since they changed the structure.

Having watched the highlights, no idea how Azza gets injured. Maybe it's just his ego that got bruised!

Strange game really - too comfortable at times and a bit scramble in the last ten minutes or so. Jaakkola did what was asked and also kept up our penalty conceded record - looks like a No2 now. I wonder as we progress will JB step in? Defence was good … Luca and Beefy looked good … Gibbons and Gibson did fine. Alfie - Football Gods are definitely not favouring him but his decision making was poor - no need at all to even touch their striker who had lost control of the ball. McCormick did well in patches - Coutts was ok … Less said about Evo the better albeit he did set up the second goal . His free kick midway through the second half summed up his season so far- ballooned high into the Thatchers End . John M looked sharper and benefitted from playing alongside Josh. Chance for him to shine maybe? Harvey scored with his first touch SS7 did little in his short time on the pitch. Aarons injury a real worry and I think he will miss Saturday for sure - that said I am as worried about our midfield now without potentially Jordy and definitely Sam. Gibson didn't play and Evans slipped as he took the free kick. Yes you're right ..... Forever mixing him up with Bobby Thomas. Old age creeping in.... i'm lucky i didn't use my Labradors name like i do with the kids sometimes. As for Evo slipping - ok but other than the second goal contribution the rest of his night was not great - constantly giving the ball away and just struggling to make the impact we know he can. Hopefully he gets there sooner than later.

Did not realise that the quarter finals are not split into north and south let’s hope we don’t play Accrington Stanley
