Rovers win their next 2, Coventry and Huddersfield, and are top going into the derby only needing a draw to stay top during the world cup. Can you just imagine the gloating at full time.

I used to like Knightmare. I hope Treguard is still in charge

"You're in a room. To the left of you, there is a horse. To the right of you there is a man in rags looking at the horse, licking his lips."

"Caution team, The Whisperer is not to be trusted. Quickly now."

"Spellcasting........B-A-S-T-A-R-D"

I audtioned to be on knightmare back in the day. We got down to the final 12 groups but weren't picked because there were already too many all boy groups. I did get a load of knightmare branded swag though which made the long trip to East Anglia worth it.

Not sure why, but I used to watch that show and as I got older, looking back I kept thinking it had been hosted by Brian Blessed!

It’ll be annoying but hardly a disaster. We’re still going to be there or thereabouts at the break and while the numb nuts down the road might have bragging rights for a few weeks, it’s a marathon not a sprint at the end of the day.

Oh and Knightmare was ace.

What if we win our next two games?

No room for that kind of attitude on here.

Agreed

Rovers have won 4 on the bounce now, and as they don't do draws surely they're due for a defeat or two soon.

Never watched Knightmare was that sort of like a Crystal Maze for kids?

Project fear!!!

Rovers have had a very generous run of fixtures, with their last 8 opponents all being in the bottom half at the point they played them. Their next two games are also against struggling sides.

It’s a mixed bag for them in December and January, but once they hit Feb it’s a real tough few months based on the current standings.

The fact that they haven't drawn a game yet suggests they might be due one!

Thought this thread was going to be about chess or horses.

I think we'd all have settled to be there or thereabouts coming up to the World Cup break

Supremely untroubled by the possibility of a couple of defeats as we are far ahead of where anyone expected us to be

I want us to reach the World Cup break [what a drag that is] without any more defeats. We will be ahead of Blackburn. I'd love us to win it, Blackburn come second and Preston to go up in the playoffs.

I can tell that you don't work with any of their lot.

Plenty of bastards in my neck of the woods

If we are there or thereabouts if they beat us, then its still going to hurt a lot, but our overall position after relegation is far ahead of where any of us realistically expected

It’s all very academic really. As my son in law Rover said recently ‘we are doing okay just now but then it will all fall apart after Christmas like it always does’.

Please note he’s not called Rover. Before any wags on here jump on it.

Wags. Geddit.

Ah well.

What a tale hb

That's certainly true for the doom and gloom merchants who prophesied our immediate relegation to D1, but what about those who 'told us all along' that we'd go straight back up to the Premiership as Champions/unbeaten/with a 100+ points?

More importantly, what about those who originally prophesied our relegation, but don't now remember doing so as they actually knew all along that we'd be Champions; unless of course we draw or god forbid, even lose the next game, whereafter they'll swiftly draw our attentions back to the relegation that they warned us about to begin with... at least until we've won the next game after that.

Yeah he’s really good but unlike most Rovers he’s scared of horses.

Not convinced about him knawing bones at the table though.

I always said we'd go straight up as Champions and our current form picking up results against difficult opposition won't change.

I certainly was expecting top 4 as an absolute minimum right from the start. Never in the mid-table bunch.

Many fans realistically expected us to be near the top.
