By Deadly Submarine
December 20 2008
All the stats from today's game as Rovers snatched a late, late winner at home to Brighton and Hove Albion as Antony Kay popped up to net a winning goal in the 93rd minute to break Brighton hearts but perhaps resore some justice for Rovers after Tuesday's late sickener.

Anyway conditions shocking, thought we were way ahead in the first half and looked like if we scored we would win....it was a big if though....Not much was being created with many side way passes(ala my club Falkirk !!) and I thought at times the midfield attempting either world cup across the pitch passes or delicate through balls....which in the conditions werent gonna be easy and proved to be that...!!
The second half, Brighton woke up and for a period were the better team, infact overall I would say had the best chances of the match, but luckily didnt take them and we huffed and puffed into the game and fortunately got the goal, which dont come sweeter by coming in injury time...boy I was relieved as I was getting text messages from Forest fan mate, Brentford fan mate who were winning..still awaiting reply from the Leeds fan...!!(all these guys live in Falkirk)
Well as I have said in MOM post, hard to single out players apart from Shuker...I have seen him play one good game,plenty of average ones and more poor ones than good ones...cant fault his effort, but his crossing and ability to take a man on was poor..he will know tho...but it does suprise me someone paid £300,000 for him...
As posted, was impressed with Savage on the deck today, he can look awkward but under horrid conditions I thought he played well, not outstanding but more impressive than the 90mins setanta game...
Special mention also to Taylor, who has plenty of skill and can put a wicked ball in, just a pity he doesnt get forward more as he seems the only one who could deliver a telling ball in...Missing Mclarens assists....
Overall chuffed with late winner....100% record for the season !!! Last season managed 9 games...Oldham away was the only defeat I seen...Im toying with Millwall away for next visit......!!
