WE WON

[Rich_The_Conisbrough_Rover]

WOW!

Onwards and upwards now, let’s get the ball rolling, absolute howler by Lawlor but nobody is perfect, thankfully it didn’t cost us the 3 points.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Yep, great result. Funny old game!

[rich1471]

the bluper own goal will be shown for years to come

[TheFunk]

Possibly the worst game of football I've ever seen by both teams.

[DonnyOsmond]

We were shit and still won. No link between defence and attack. Constant hoof ball to Mandeville who had no one in support.

But as they say good teams play bad and win. Bad teams play bad and lose. We've done enough of the latter so it's good to do the former.

Once you go 2 up early it's never a good game, the onus was on them to attack and cause us problems and it didn't happen, very good performance for me as they created hardly anything

This. Again defence was good and we looked a decent side. They were always going to attack second half and did.  Absolute shocker of a goal for them but then a shocker in the daft sending off.

[MrFrost]

Kongolo put in the worst performance of anyone this season. Awful.

Baudry was fantastic.

[Alan Southstand]

Awful performance but 3 PST and we need another 3 on Saturday. Hats off to Toffolo who I thought was motm.

It did n't help us parking to bus so early in the game

[dickos1]

Very gritty and determined performance
Feels a lot better than a very good performance and a defeat i.e. Shrewsbury

Done our homework on their zonal marking too and exposed it excellently

[DaveDRFC]

Lawlor redeemed himself with a great save in injury time. A win's a win!

Not a case of parking bus
They had nothing to lose and went for it and we didn't have the players on the pitch to pick them off
Alfie did well when he came on

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Kongolo put in the worst performance of anyone this season. Awful.

Baudry was fantastic.

Got an assist though.

[Katesby]

Impressed with their number 11, lots of pace and a deadly cross on him. Rowe our best player thus far. All in all, happy to take the points.

[dickos1]

Thought baudry looked very rusty

[Bessie Red]

Awful performance but 3 PST and we need another 3 on Saturday. Hats off to Toffolo who I thought was motm.

Thought he played very well tonight & wouldnt have been surprised if he got MOTM.

[roversdude]

Not been a fan of Toffolo but he’s growing on me, didn’t look fit when he first arrived
Great save by Lawlor but my oh my will he have mares about that goal
Could we please have a whip round and buy Mandy some studs he spend more time on the floor than Lewis Guy
Beestin looked good in his brief appearance
Final word for the ref ..... shocker I’ve just about calmed down and we won

[Donnybax]

Great result! It'd be really good if we could win Saturday now and make it 3 home wins in a row

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Well, Baudry's back and that's the main thing.

Could be a danger that Fergie might pull us out of a bad run! What will people talk about then? Oh yes, catering!

[Bessie Red]

Kongolo put in the worst performance of anyone this season. Awful.

Baudry was fantastic.

He was not awful Frosty!!

[roversdude]

Got to agree that their No 11 Kennedy was class until his temper got the better of him

[tommy toes]

BBC blaming Baudry for their goal.
His back pass was too strong apparently....

[MrFrost]

Kongolo put in the worst performance of anyone this season. Awful.

Baudry was fantastic.

He was not awful Frosty!!

Yes, he was.

[MachoMadness]

Good result. And after his howler Lawlor ended up winning us the game with that save at the death. Great way to get rid of the post-gaffe jitters in time for the next game.

[Bessie Red]

Kongolo put in the worst performance of anyone this season. Awful.

Baudry was fantastic.

He was not awful Frosty!!

Yes, he was.

What in your opinion made him awful ?

[dickos1]

It wasn't his best performance but there's been a lot worse individual performances this season.
A lot worse

[TheFunk]

If Rodney is the future of Dutch football no wonder they are in crisis. A woeful performance besides his assist.

[RoversAlias]

BBC blaming Baudry for their goal.
His back pass was too strong apparently....

Press Association report so not the BBC's fault, but I agree that was an odd slant on it.

Lawlor however made up for his colossal mistake by saving that header at the death. I thought it was a certain goal, brilliant save.

We played well tonight, not sure what some people watch when they go to a game. Our defence was superb, such a strong, cohesive unit throughout that dealt with the considerable height of Hawkins, and at set pieces the defenders Burgess & Clarke too. I was very impressed, especially with how we kept them at bay in the second half up until the red card changed the dynamics of the game.

Mandeville was too tired by the end and didn't show enough physicality but let's give him credit, he had to play an unfamiliar, unsuited lone striker role against the biggest centre half pairing in the division, and he bagged a goal and had an impact on proceedings. We did keep resorting to the long ball up to him which was silly but it was hard to find any rhythm at times.

Tommy Rowe was superb I thought too, he should play off the striker every game if we want to get the best out of him all season.

As for Kongolo, he has that ability to take a ball on and run at defenders, they hate to play against players like him. He played alright, great assist for the opener and had a lot of hard work to do off the ball covering the beleagured Blair in the first half. He was much better than against Scunny for one, Frost, so can't agree with your statement on Rodders there at all.

[RedJ]

I thought Kongolo was god awful as well. Didn't think the overall performance was bad at all though. We were effective.
