v QPR..

[Despair]

For me, the performance of the season.
I said I felt a hard fought score draw, but the lads 'stepped up' and spring boarded from Sats game as I hoped they would.
Each and every player was on his game, epitomised by that gloriously worked second goal (right in front of me).
It was really hard to determine a MOM it could have been any one of 4 or 5 easily.
Even when GB made his change on 70 and 75 causing I believe some consternation this time though it worked well. Due I believe in each player playing at their best in support.
JL no complaints whatsoever.
LV did pretty well in his cameo (won most headers) and chased everything down - well done.
Even DE did ok when introduced and put a fair bit more effort into his stint.

On that form we could easily do well in any play off tournament.
We just now have to take the next game in the same manner.

My is very close to being updated simply from that performance. I was very proud of the lads tonight.

It's performances like that, that have got me down this season in games where we've been poor and I've known we could do much, much better. Each and every player in a Rover's shirt put in a huge shift. I haven't seen us break like that in years. And as Dispair says, the cover for each player was absolutely spot on. Varney was the right player at the right time. He's not much of a footballer and definately not a match winner, but he is a right royal pain in the @rse, and he did that well tonight. 2 nil up, he did a good job of annoying QPR and stopping them get up the pitch. Could have been 2-1, that shot on against the woodwork, oh dear, he was clean through But that was the best result QPR could have asked for. I loved the way that they refuse to vary their one tactic. Made it much easier to anticipate their attacks abd defend them well

As for their fans, sat down on 8 minutes and never stood up again. P1ss poor support

I very much enjoyed singing 'it's just like watching B

Did you guys note Dunny on the touchline when on that 65th minute he stopped his preparation and stood with a big grin on his face applauding each and every consecutive pass.

As said, this was the kind of performance I have been waiting for since about Sept / Oct when obvious shoots of progress were being exhibited. For whatever reason it has taken this frustratingly long length of time to put the performance that was promised then onto the park.
If its all too late, so be it.
But, if they can reproduce that sort of form on a more regular basis, good times are back at Ewood.
It seems a hell of a long time since I felt so positive and enjoyed a raised performance so much.

Yeh , that was a very good performance tonight from the rovers .
What i noticed was there seems to be a pretty good team spirit amongst the players and everybody put a lot of effort into there performance .
Were as Q.P.R players looked pretty skillfull but seemed to lack the extra effort , especially in the second half ,when i thought they might have had a real go at us .
p.s... nice to see that money grabbing ungratefull Junior holliet on the loosing side!!

Oh yes, it was the natural progression from the totally dominant performances in the Barnsley and Bolton games. Not to mention Notts Forest, where although we lost, we played very well. Then it was starts and stops. Sheffield Wed and Birminhham 1st half were woeful. Bournemouth, the worst I have ever seen, (and I don't care about their form, they were dogsh1t and there for the taking that night). The dire defence, (but great game) against Brighton. Then a dull as phuck flat performance, but a clean sheet and 2 goals to the good followed by TONIGHT!

It really was 'just like watching Brazil' at times

It really was 'just like watching Brazil' at times

Don't you mean: just like watching Burnley !!!

As that is how they have been playing for the majority of this season i.e. good team spirit, effort, belief, and togetherness

Respect where respect is deserved.

[DanRrr]

Indeed Despair, I agree. I was referring to us having a little breakout of 'it's just like watching Brazil' in the DE tonight. Wasn't that loud, but it was a laugh

This is all music to my ears!

O/T for a moment: perhaps it's just my eyes, but in some pictures, Matt Kilgallon reminds me strongly of Mick McCarthy.
Is there something we should be told...?
