Brilliant rallying post by the way champs. Shame its only on here and there's only our small little roversmad group that'll see it.
I was at Plymouth that last day. One of my best away days with rovers. Atmosphere on the coach there and back. No exaggeration to say it was a magical time for me.

We really do have a decent following, especially at away games. TM has said it himself, it makes a huge difference to the lads to see a full away end everywhere we go. And they do get behind them. I thought the crowd vrs Bradford where very good. Really got behind the lads. Best atmosphere for years. I just think 18-19k inside for the final few games would go a long way.
I wouldn't last 2 mins on BRFC's and you know it.
As you all know, I tend to a nervous, cautious - even pessimistic - approach!
All the same, I can't see us doing worse than 4 wins, 2 draws and one defeat in our last seven games.
That would give us 96 points.
Now Shrewsbury have a much worse GD than us, so they have to finish one point ahead. They have six games left, so to get to 97, they have to win five and draw one.
I feel a lot better now!
I’ll go for a nervy 2 - 1.
Rovers 3 Southend 0
Just finished watching. The nerves are beginning to show. (The team's - not mine: I'm always nervous!)
Nothing really happened in the first half-hour; then we had a good patch for about 45 minutes; then it was all hands to the pumps again.
Maybe we just find Southend's style and personnel difficult to play against. More likely, it was just not having Lenihan and Dack - and the mounting pressure.
I know we're supposed to buy into the "all that matters is the three points" cliché, but I could do with a couple of COMFORTABLE victories!
Tough physical game in which we made hard work of but did we expect anything else
Expectation is high and it's down to the players to not buckle but take it in their stride and yes saxo Wigan did make it look easy but let's see how easy they make it against a tough Rochdale team away fighting for every point
1-1 written all over it.
