Tired legs for at least 8 of newcastles starting line up on sat after extra time, cheers matty derbyshire, fingers crossed!!

OK performance - but a win is a win...Vukcevic looks very promising, again seems another decent spot by Keano and the scouts.

With a large dose of Keano positivity, back to back and wins and bring on a "tired" Toon on Saturday.

COYB

Bring on the dingles in the next round!! Home or at the turd!! No sign of vintage or any of the other 6 fingered warburtons recently!!

hellofa crowd!!!

I thought tonight's performance was a decent display. The scoreline flattered Orient.

Right Chaps, gonna say it as I saw it and leave myself out there for you all to slag off,
Bunn 3 shotson goal 2 goals not good enough
Olson, Obvioulsy told to defend, di that bit , but totaly absent as an attacking threat
Givet, Did a decent Job but going to be behind yje 3 first choice centre backs
Hanley , needs a year on loan at a top 10 championship club, and will step up.
Lowe,he needs some match time in these kind of games , but is he is still a bit off the pace , would be better as a holding midfield player then a right back.
Simon Vuc**ic, Looks the part but wont pick up the premier league pace until December earliest
Rochina , too good for the some of the players around him, going to have to learn that they all are not making Messi runs, but the one of the two Bright Stars for Rovers if we can keep him
Petrovic Tonoght, did not do enough to claim nzonzi`s place in the fisrt eleven The Jury is out,
Grella, well done for doing 90 Mins, but again the Zonz would be in front of him every game .
Blackman, Sorry but did nowt, maybe a year in the championship would do him good.
Roberts. Sorry Ja but time to think of a full time media career.
Junior . came on at half time, showed flashed of greatness, but as nornal was at his best when on the left and could cut in ,

We missed Samba , but it was fantasic to see him warming the subs pree match, that proves he is worthy of the captains arm band even if he does go in Jan,

So go on guys shoot me down

another win for Keanos boys....all hail the Kean! Well it was a win, albeit not a very good one, but we're through which is what knock-out cups are all about...bring on the clarets next, home or away so we can get through another round easily...gota feeling we just might get em next!

No thats fine pal, pretty honest perception!! Along way to go yet though and through my blue and white tinted glasses the future looks bright! More so because of how good our young and our new attacking options look and not because of steve kean but they deserve our backing for now and that's good enough for me!! 3 point on sat at our usually kind hunting ground and we could be top 10 by this time sat night!! Nothing wrong with thinking possitive, even if this is from a kentaro P.R representative!! That 1's for you smelly coffee!!

Decent win. Its what the cup is all about!! Vuckevic looks good while petrovic has looked off the pace since he came, only tine will tell! Up the rovers!

So picking one game, arsenal, then picking how many internationals they had playing compared to how many we had playing, even though both teams won is not irrelevant and splitting heirs is it not! If you really are a rovers fan then you either have serious unresolved issues with steve kean from a previous life or your life now just needs taking by yourself immediately! Not just tonight's post but your post's every night you are 1 sad individual and you will never be happy in my opinion unless you pack up now move to barcelona and get a season ticket at the nou camp! Agree with you on the clean sheet front but Dann is still finding his feet alongside a new centre back partner and tonight, well what do you expect it was a reshuffled defence and all that matters is they got game time and we won! Here that noise, yeah that's me resting my case!

Inept display tonight has left me totally flat.

Hardly a well oiled machine but come on,a safe passage and their goalie must have saved 10. Aldershot at home please.

Thought that would be it until you re-group and come back on tomorrows story!! By the way arsenal had 6 internationals playing! You really don't like it when someone who obviously knows a hell of a lot more than you picks at your unnecessarily negative comments do you! If you are a real rovers fan all i ask of you is to at least make a decent argument of your negative ball coxs next time!

i hate slagging off fellow rovers supporters - but you don't count.
.
you sir are a c0ck of the highest order.
.
please - one request; go away and never come back...oztheman, roverspal...whatever your name is - rovers do not need supporters like you, you are a mood hoover - - you suck the energy and atmosphere out of a room.

Just wanted to say well done to the lads.
Another win and through. It wasn't pretty but we're through.

On a another note. My lad was mastcot today, and we had THE best ever day ever. We met all the players in the changing room which was sureal . Music blasting out, lads with earphones on dancing, playing keepeups and generally a really relaxed and good feeling in there. we went into the treatment room were roberts was getting massaged . he mentioned he like my lads barnet, my lad said he liked his too! Grella was face down with his bare **** being massaged and lowe was getting a thigh massage in his undies! weird?!. they all signed a ball and my lads first footy boot from when he was 4. He walked down the tunnel and played on the pitch with givet and came off the pitch shaking with excitement......
An excellent day throughout and rovers looked after us. We went into the managers room and chatted with kean and anderson for a few mins about the arsenal game and he seemed a genuinely nice bloke and was super nice with my lad.
Today reminded me of why i love the beautiful game. We felt special, mixed with the lads and were welcomed by them all including the managers. Rovers is a family club. A club that cares and a club that has guaranteed itself a life long supporter in my 8 year old son today.
THANK U BRFC for giving my lad the best day of his life (and his dad):)

me, my dad , my lads. 3 generations 1 team

Congratulations to you and your lad buddy!! Iv played for junior rovers, been a programme seller, a ball boy and a mascot all in the 80's and it's good to know we still have a future of proper die hard fans still coming through! Was going to suggest taking him on the ground tour as well but if he's been in the changing room with the players i suppose that can wait a few years for now!!

Granty,

Great looking at the pictures.... it made me laugh on one picture John Jensen being by the booze cabinet with his big red noise did you see kean have a few before the match lol........ Anyway looks like your lad had a great day, all the best mate

Due to work wasnt at the game last night but as others have said a win is a win and we are safely through to next round and no chance of meeting Villa this season ! Yahooooo!

Seems like there were many changes and some of the second string got a run out but just scraped through.

i see barn door roberts managed a goal from the spot but not in open play, thought he might of against a team more at his level !

Anyway lets see what the draw throws up and then look forward to the weekend for another 3 points in Jordyland.

Nice to hear the positive comments from Granty too !

all we do is win win win no matter what...

Glad you and kid had goodtime something I'm sure you both won't forget.

Just picked up on one thing "we went into managers room and chatted with Kean and ANDERSON for a few mins" which Anderson is that, thought he was pushed well out now?

I did notice that myself but had to run off to work, no point in commenting at home when I can come to work and get paid to do it :)
*
I just hope that in all the excitement of what I can imagine was a great night out for yourself and your lad that you got names mixed up.
*
Anyway good result, a win is a win. A lot of players lacking in game time and team time put together did a good job. Vuc.....Vuck.....Vuc
k....Simon looks to have a desire for goal, which can't be bad. As previously mentioned a few players could do with being loaned out to get more experience.

Bring on the Toon!

COYB

your right guys meant to say jenson!
the one by the booze cup board yes!!an awesome day indeed. ive been watching rovers 20 odd years now and i must admit i feel that little bit closer to them now following the last few monthsi
Thanks for the comments too.
roll on Newcastle!!

ps.
i liked the look of simon too. even if they couldnt spell his name on his shirt!! mind you neither could me or st ledge:)he looked quick and tricky, and got really stuck in. i hope we see more of him soon!

When is the next cup draw for the 4th round?

I thought I read the next draw would be on Saturday, could be wrong though.

Phew...squeezed through to the next round...but sometimes that's the nature of cup competition...the fact that we're there is the main thing...and that some of the more fringe players got time on the pitch...

Aw yeah, how good would it be to draw the dingles in the next round?!

As for the good news story from Granty...that is great to hear...and it restores some of my faith in the club...

I've been a life-long fan, and a programme seller and on my 21st birthday got to meet the players in the player's lounge, and so always thought they were good with the fans...

But recently started to doubt the new regime...a couple of us Rovers fans down here contacted the club at the start of the season to say that one of our Rovers-supporting friends had nearly died in a crash and was making a slow and difficult recovery, and wondered whether they could do anything (eg meeting a player, or even a signed programme!) to cheer him on his slow journey back to health. We would all obviously buy tickets to the game and we would bring him up...but until now we haven't heard anything back...I thought maybe it was the case under the new order...

COYB...keep the good news coming...

I believe it is live on Skysports at noon Saturday

Dingles at home ideal.

Gotta be burnley at home. don't wana see that dustbin thats still there from their appearance on soccer am when they embarassed themselves among footballs "Elite"
Scruffy b@stards

Old saying in every sport, "You can only beat what's put in front of you".
.
My only criticism would be that Rovers didn't get out of first gear for most of the first half, or the second for that matter.
.
But in all honesty they really didn't have to.
.
Their keeper had a cracking game, good shot stopper and got plenty of practice.
.
So thats 2 wins and a draw since the window closed.
