What a difference a win makes. This forum is fricking ridiculous😅. Promotion talk ffs 😆 Top 10 would be a massive achievement Fwiw, I expect us to be in the top 10. It's just the motion of this forum which ebs on each and every result, with huge variations in reaction. If we lose, its because we are fudge, the manager is pony, players are not lg1 etc etc. A win and its hashtags and 'never knows' and manager is a legend already. Faithful and True should read Fickle and False! |

The pessimists when we lose will say if we’re not careful we’re going down. The optimists after a win will say we could get play offs. When the results goes against their natural personality they’re naturally quieter. I’d be surprised if any of the posters who said after Cheltenham last week that we’re in trouble, have said we’re getting promoted. |

I think that’s a harsh generalisation to be fair, the majority see things over a period of time, although there were some crazily writing Taylor off after 2 games I think the majority were and still are going to give him time. |

Top 10 would be a massive achievement I disagree. Where were we when Taylor took over? Don’t we have a top 8 budget? Top 6 would be, but finishing 10th would not be a massive achievement IMO I suppose it depends on what you think of the squad. |

Absolutely Fizzing with the Win, nicely done Rovers 👏🏼👏🏼. A win at Blackpool will send a message to the rest of our Division.
Send it.

I just dislike comments calling fans fickle and fake for getting excited about a massive away win at Bolton. What defines faithful and true? Is it optimistic fans, pessimistic or the ones in the middle? |

Just got back..
To the battle cruiser in Manc land....
A genuine amazing day from start to finish!
LG is a handsome bugger.... especially when he's starting songs at half time on concourse....he was mobbed like a hero and even grown men can admire heroes in our but of space ... Genuinely gas hero!
Also, n what the hell are you doing here!??
Anyhoos....onto something less important:
A deserved result and performance.
Amazing to see us boss the game for almost all of it....our shape without the ball held firm almost as good as our movements with it. A threat on flanks, we passed our way through them at times with ease, then played the ball forward for runners when need be.
Their huge no5 was their weakness we exploited.
When he got sent off we capitalised immediately, but arguably defended better without him.
LT AE pushing forward a great GW cross and master finishing from big JM.
All this from sterling defending from CT Kramervs Kramer and, Wilson ....our structure was impervious.
A deflected shot for their only goal, and a brilliant save from Coxy was as much as they could muster.... Credit to the hard working approach we forced them into. Credit to a well organised set up.
At times it looked like we were playing against ourselves under the Barton era where no one moved but hey you had possession...(?)
Another word for all of us that travelled, some 700 of us, we outsang the other 18,000 (yearrrrrright!?) for large parts of the match. An amazing following. Sometimes this club really does surprise everyone.
Safe travels home, Gas ...what a day, what an experience and just desserts especially after last season....there was to be no last gasp equaliser and rightly so!
You saw the rovers, now um go home I genuinely was not worried from kick off to end. Well done MT and players staff for giving us a performance to be proud of.... UptheGas!

What a refreshing, intelligent interview. Most player interviews are like getting blood out of a stone. I'm expecting Connor to have a fantastic playing career, hopefully with us climbing the levels, but when the time comes I reckon he could have a decent non-playing career too. |
