I haven’t totalled the Rovers points in those final games of 2007/08 and we did losing a few very narrowly, but against some tough opponents, yet we were still sustaining reasonable form and were not lacking confidence as a team, so altogether far better than Crewe recently. I nevertheless agree that nothing can be taken for granted!

Tbf we did get cheated at Gillingham though…
As we all know the team picks itself these days.TLTSterryMaxwellWoodAndersonMolyneuxCraigBaileyBigginsIronsideAdelukanSUBSJonesOlowuHurstBroadbentRoweWestbrookeNixonTLT in goals and without being too harsh on Louis, I very much doubt either of Gillingham's goals would have beaten him.Then in the middle, the return of Biggins timing his runs from deep,and beyond Ironside stops defenders from sitting in and holding a steady line,it was this that changed the game v Barrow, and is a tactic that is more or less unplayable if the service to him is right. His excellent finishing complete the picture here.Simply put, we have far too much for anyone in our division at the moment, our run is not luck, it's because we're a damn good side with strength in depth and a simply brilliant manager. Fans aren't too bad either.RTID
I’ll be happy when I see Haks on the team sheet. Something still doesn’t sit right with me about him not being in the MOTM group photo. I’m 90% certain his name will be there but just that chance he might have an agreement somewhere else and isn’t risking an injury.

I like Nixon but Rowe and Olowu can cover the full backs so he’d be the one to miss out.
