Rowan Milnes and Mikey Lewis are hopefully the future of the club, players to build a team around.
It's great to see the culture that Tony Smith has installed.
Fantastic performance tonight.
There's a quote on the BBC that Neil is no longer looking to sell the club?
Can anyone elucidate?

Just watched the interview with Paul Lakin in the bottom right corner of my iPad. Not much more to elucidate - no longer looking for a buyer, NH encouraged by what is happening on and off the field and is staying on as owner.

It is impressive and surprising how we’ve gone from $***£ to alright from last season to this. I like it. I was proper low with it after that defeat in the first game of the season. It is nice for it to be fun again for however long it is. This definitely counts as the proper crack at top 8 that I hoped for pre-season.

I can not believe how good we are now let’s hope we go further this is the sort of team we have been waiting for

Great night for Rovers, I was interested in a Quote from Phill Clarke on SKY, that we are one or two signings away from a top club? I think we have already got those players in the crop of youngsters Tony Smith has put together, this year is a bonus th for us. They will be better next season. We just need to manage the replacement of SKD, Linnett,Hall etc when the time comes. Something we didn’t do well when the side Morgan built up moved on.
It’s a good time to be a Robin.

At least it is a roof over your head. You’d have only spent the proceeds on supermarket own brand beer and Cheetos, so it’s probably for the best.

It’s always interesting to hear how we’re perceived - but Clarke, while generally an affable enough Wigan-bore, just seems to say whatever pops into his head.

We might be better next season, and I hope we are, or we might not. We’re not the sporting world’s most deferential clown car anymore, and that is lovely. I just want to enjoy the moment.

I’m among the first to down play intangibles like ‘culture’ and emphasise the importance of money and incumbency as a big fish in SL. However, Smith seems to have finally given the squad the sort of self belief that has been lacking since Morgan’s tenure, In SL at least - 2017 was a bit different, thankfully. We want to win and we believe we’re deserving of victories - not in 3 or 5 years from now, but today and tomorrow.

You can't even spell "jizz" never mind produce any from your tiny walnut like shrivelled balls.
