Sheaf was superb last night. Anderson has to be MoM, but Sheaf wasn't far behind him.
If the game had ended at half time, mind, I'd have had Gomes as MoM. Best 45 mins he's had for us. There's a very, very good player in there if we can bring him on.

For me I’ve gone with Madger, I thought he had a super game, his best yet. I tweeted the lad telling him I’d voted him man of the match - he had a very good first half carrying the ball forward and getting his foot in to break up play when needed - by the end of the game he was running literally on empty - he had given his all & for that he gets my vote
RoversAlias:
I said Anderson on the long walk down the stairs from the stand, and I stick by that. He was just rock solid against all the challenges Sunderland threw at him.
Agree with BST that the star of the first half was Gomes. Sheaf superb also, and Whiteman. To be honest most of the team played really, really well.
Rovers91:
Anderson for me. But Gomes deserves praise you can tell he's a confidence player and first couple of touches he had last night very early he gave the ball away. But he didn't let that affect him and went on to have his best game in the shirt. You can tell he is an intelligent player because his movement to pick up the space in them holes was very good.

It's almost getting to the point where we can award Anderson the player of the season now and start a separate completion excluding him.
I think a few have said above they would vote for either Sheaf or Gomes in recognition of their performances but you just can't not give it to Anderson who does his job exceptionally well throughout games and rarely puts a foot wrong.
Sheaf was exceptional too. Gomes couldn't quite get into the game as much in the second half but he showed a lot of quality at times, taking the ball down, holding off and spreading the ball. With more games and with more confidence, and a goal or two, he's a keeper!!
