Sounds like it was a huge improvement, I wish I could have watched it.
Well done P-Tis and the players. Certainly proved me wrong for my prediction today, and for that I'm dead chuffed!

Very good performance!
Ehmer at right back
Upson dictating the play in midfield
Westbrooke and Ozzy playing at the same time.
Who would have thought.

Garner's Boys come good or did Tisdale sign them OK that cements it. You are a WUM. |

What a difference from Weds, bright attacking football and could easily have scored more than we did, an outstanding team performance.
Fair play to PT there were a lot of questions asked over the starting 11 but the 2nd goal apart we cant have any complaints today. Ehmer at right back looked an odd choice but he was excellent which allowed Kilgour to play in his natural position and he looked more like the player of last season. A huge amount to be positive about after today.

Is that the football we were hoping to see under Garner? Garner’s team, Garner’s tactics. Nothing to do with Tis ! With Garner just the ball moves with Tis the players move as well...and shoot |

How were kilgour and Westbrook? Everyone was at least decent even Grant who was our worst performer but he didn’t have a nightmare - 6 out of 10. Top performers were Upson - absolutely ran the midfield 9 Otzumer -8 amazing trickery only half of what he did came off but such a skilled player. Hanlan -8.5 works so hard and two goals. Nicholson -8.5 reminds me so much of billy bodin. Ehmer -9 looked every bit a top right back. |

Garner’s team, Garner’s tactics. Nothing to do with Tis ! Not sure if you're being facetious but that's not at all what I was getting at. More that today we played free-floating possession based attacking football which was very pleasing on the eye for most of the game. Exactly what I'd hoped Garner would deliver. Thank god PT's stopped Jaakola passing it to a defender inside his own penalty area from every goal kick, that his utter nonsense at L1 level. Apart from the second Dons goal that was almost a faultless display, just when you were wondering how we were going to survive until the transfer window opens in January, particularly after the ref gave the Dons such a soft penalty. |

excellent going forward, they found a bit to much space around our box.
I was surprised how good Ehmer was at right back, and a shout out for Upson.
Nicholson, Ozzie, westbrooke and Hanlon linked so much better and we were able to pen them in.UTG

I’m not sure it was 4-4-2 as someone just said. More like 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 but the three attacking midfielders were constantly switching from left centre and right which made them a nightmare to mark. Great performance UTG. |

Ugh What an imbalanced line up (on paper) Wimbledon by 3 Spot on again oldie, get back in general chat. 😁 What a performance, where the f**k did that come from? It was just like watching Brazil! Well done you blue boys, 4 - 2 actually flattered the wombles. Unbelievable Jeff, was that the same players? 😂 UTG! |

Woof woof..... what a performance!?
Totally unexpected.
Although, there were small signs this was coming v Gills.
Defence apart, we played some very easy on the eye stuff.
Ehmer a revelation on the right.
Alfie looked more comfortable.
Grant and impressive Upson done the hard work.
Leahy actually brilliant in offence, decent in defence.
Nicholson looking like the new Bodin+ with extra whistles and bells.
Hanlan devastating.
But.... for me, the catalyst, the blinding midfield performance of the season, Oz. M O M and his vision and creativity could prove the difference between staying in this league or not.
We played some great passing and movement possession based football, well done PT and management team for orchestrating a brilliant performance away from home that all things being normal many of us would have attended..
Excellent.
Top marks.
Sort the defence out, we will be a force to be reckoned with..

How were kilgour and Westbrook? Personally thought that westbrooke was quiet in the first half but did much better in the second and linked up well with otzhumer, hanlan and Nicholson (who were all brilliant today along with Upson who had his best game in a rovers shirt imo). Defensively we weren't great today though and left a free header for their second; I think it was alfie's man but hard to see on ifollow really! the way Alfie was pointing at a player. It may have been midfield that didn't pick up the goalscorer |

Watched on iPlayer but missed 1st two goals trying to log in! The second WImbledon goal was a shocker but other than that it was a totally dominant performance. So controlled, skilful and based on positive possession. I thought Baldwin, Grant and Upson were solid and good on the ball. Hanlan, Nicholson and Oztumer were a handful and all the others played well and with confidence. The only thing I would say is that Wimbledon allowed us to play. We really suffer when teams are up in our face, like Gillingham. Hopefully this will give the team the confidence to take into the next game👍

I always thought we were technically very good, but we were too slow in the build up under Garner and as a fan it was so boring to watch as well. The movement was superb today as were the team especially Nicholson and Ozzie and as usual Jak had a safe pair of hands. |

Didn't watch the gametoday, but it seems like we played 442. My wife, who states she is a "mere woman" has insisted for a long time that when we play this way we win. Greatresult.

Got to admit after Wednesday game for the first time I was in two minds weather to pay another £10 for today’s game , so glad I did what a performance.
It’s a long time since I seen a Rovers side dominate a game like that ,what ever they did on the training ground between the Gillingham game & today let’s have some more.
Ehmer was a revelation at right side of the back three,Upson had his best game in ages & Nicholson, Otzumer & Hanlon were outstanding , the score line could easily have been larger utg.
