We are good.
« on September 06, 2025, 05:05:17 pm by Copps is Magic »
We are good. We're good. We are a good side this season. I mean, we are good. There's a danger we might already be promotion contenders. Are we allowed to say it?

The players are showing a good level of confidence. Yes, we are good.

Bar one mistake for the goal we never gave them a sniff today. Completely did a job on them, huge credit to Grant for setting us up to nullify them. That was the most comfortable I've felt watching us for a long time.

We've played 10 games this season and by my approximation we've been the best side in all of them. Including against Boro, who are top of the Championship.

Totally agree. We have an awesome defence as I have said before. But our defence started at the front.
Gibson, take a bow, to round it of you walk of in front of there fans, priceless

That was one of the most complete performances I’ve seen by Rovers. I don’t know how much Bradford spunked on players over the Summer but we made them look bang average.

Could have had 5 or 6 and really, for all their bluster and pressure second half, Rovers limited them to one real chance.

Superb.

Could have and probably should have been 5 or 6 goals, but best league game we have played this season, every player contributed something today, keep it up

2nd in league, victories over rivals Bradford and Rotherham and a trip to Spurs to look forward too.

Bloody good times.

Bradford seem to have invested in experienced players but do they have potential to develop further? Most of the Rovers team on the other hand (Sharp and Pearson apart), are at the stage in their careers where they should improve towards their peak.

You could see the second half as Rovers having the ability to contain their opponents without having to over-exert themselves. The longer term objective is sustaining a team in the Championship and you’d rank today’s Rovers way ahead of Bradford in that assessment.

Some players have stepped up a level undoubtedly.  But McCann shoring up the defense has been massive, we just don't look like conceding many.

Expectations definitely gone up a level. Let’s hope we can keep performing and getting results.

Also, let’s not be harsh if we do have a dip.

It just feels like we’re riding the crest of a wave at the moment. So much confidence and good feeling around the club. Keep this up and this season is going to be special.

We've been winning a lot of football matches for 18 months. The best thing about all this I don't turn up expecting to win every week.

The only disappointment about today. The missing thousand are out there somewhere though.

Surely this squad and the way we're playing is irresistible!?

There will be a run of games and performances that won’t go our way but I am so proud of this team. Sticking it to teams as big as Bradford is what it’s all about as a Rovers supporter.

Goal 1 when they cheered Gibbo getting tackled as he ran through only for him to put it on a sixpence for Mols in the next phase.

Goal 2 Gibbo scores.

Goal 3 they hate him and inevitably he scores.

Out with the wife for our anniversary tonight. Biblical Saturday!

Not taking anything away from how good we were today, but how distinctly average were Bradford. Still persisting in knocking it long and hoping for the best. 4 or 5 nil would not have flattered us today.

I'm pretty sure they've spent money on bringing the likes of Tilt and Wright in. Whoever it was playing up top for them was completely anonymous. Sarcevic still unfit and useless. I could go on. I can't believe they haven't been beaten until today.

But another brilliant performance from the Rovers.

Radio informed us that the Bradford squad has the highest average age in the whole of the FL. Experienced for sure, but radio said not as quick or as athletic as us.

Talksport we're wetting themselves over how good Rovers were - second half included.

one noticeable thing about the defense now is that they either block a cross or head it away. We are head and shoulders above the level of last season..

I love how today and against Rotherham, they had a lot of the ball second half and I never really felt worried.

It’s like we’ve been happy for them to have it. Both teams ended up going long and belting it straight out of play.

We’re managing games so well.

They didn't block many crosses today Adam. Bradford sent over 39 of em. Talksport's biggest complaint about Bradford was that they did eff all with em.

Doesn't show well for our fullbacks either.

Absolutely no chance Bradford had 39 crosses.

A lot of the crosses came further up the pitch than the byline, it was as if they knew they couldn’t get past the fullbacks so they just kept launching it into the box.

Exactly.  The crosses were in the main, just hopefully punted in there.
There is always the danger that one of them might drop as a lucky second ball but generally our defence was rock solid today.
I don’t think TLT had to save any shots.
Quick word for Billy here, he is playing a different role this season and is putting in mega shifts.
His hold up play is better than I have aver seen from him.

It’s pretty meaningless without context. A mate of mine went and said something similar to the below. Full backs aren’t going to cut out a cross from somewhere closer to the halfway line.

Grant mentioned this in his post match interview said we already had our dip Vs Huddersfield and we have picked ourselves up and started again
