Title: Superb performance - the best since......?
Post by: Branton Red on January 01, 2024, 09:39:21 pm
Rovers were outstanding today particularly in the first half. 3-0 could quite easily have been 5 or 6. A joy to watch.

For context MK had won 8 and drawn 2 of their last 10 league matches. Yet today they were simply blown away.

I'm struggling to remember the last time Rovers played so well.

8 of today's starting XI also started against Morecambe just over 2 weeks ago - one of Rovers' worst performances in a long time.

It's even harder to recall 2 such radically different performances within such a short time period.

Brilliant today, we made them look a very average side.

The best 45 minutes since ….. I can’t remember!

Brilliant first half, we just blew them away. 5-0 really wouldn’t have been flattering to us.

Hate to say the game... But we all know the best 45 we played was before this.

Last performance of a similar stature for me was when we beat Ipswich at home 4-1 in October 2020 under Darren Moore and Josh Sim’s tore them to pieces. Just before this horrible rot started. I really can’t remember another performance that I’ve witnessed in-between that, that was as dominating as yesterday.

Grimsby away last season maybe? Especially the first half. Probably one of the only games last season where I thought we looked a proper team that was exciting to watch.

I thought we were just talking about this season  :blush:

If we go back further I can remember when we were 6-0 up against Darlington at half-time, but we eased up and only scored 10  :lol: :lol:

They were flying high and ended up being promoted. We played them off the park and the
2-1 scoreline flattered them.

I came away from that game thinking "thats it, we will kick on from here".  Hiw wrong i was

Maybe I'm being thick, or it's a whoosh moment, DU, but you'll have to explain that one to me.
