IT WAS a great result for Rovers against Shrewsbury on Saturday and a good time to come up with that kind of performance, writes Simon Garner.

There was the disappointment of conceding the penalty but you have to get over things like that quickly.

Half-time probably came at a good time so they could get that out of their system and they managed to come back strongly.

I said last week that it would be a significant win if they could pull it off and the pressure now transfers to Shrewsbury with the gap down to two points.

It will be about how they react to the defeat.

They don’t know what it’s like being up near the top in this league, but having been relegation candidates at the start of the season there might not be that fear around them.

As for Rovers that’s now 15 league games unbeaten and they have to keep it going.

I think Tony Mowbray will have emphasised that to them. They will want to keep up that pressure on Shrewsbury but they will also be looking at leaders Wigan.

I would imagine at the start of the season, Mowbray will have thought they had a good chance of winning the league, it might have not been something he said publicly, but with his squad that would have been his aim.

It was good to see Danny Graham finding the net again and he is starting to shine at this level.

He is quality player and with quality around him and the right service he will always score goals.

There was some sad news yesterday that my former Wycombe team-mate Cyrille Regis had died at the age of 59.

We were the oldest strikeforce in the Football League in our one season together in 1994/95 with a combined age of 71!

I know he has done a lot for the game and he was a real gent. We travelled in together from Birmingham to Wycombe and he was a great man. He will be sadly missed.
