But there is bound to be some disappointment that they didn't pick up a second successive Championship win in Saturday's home game against Cardiff City.

Particularly when Cardiff's equaliser didn't come until the 88th minute.

To make matters worse, Rovers helped set up Scottish striker Ross McCormack's first goal for last season's FA Cup finalists with a defensive mix-up between keeper Neil Sullivan and substitute defender Adam Lockwood when dealing with the danger from a left-wing cross.

Prior to the Bluebirds' late equaliser, it looked as though a a 67th-minute strike by Lewis Guy would decide the game.

What do you think? Post your comments below.

Had that been the case, it would have proved a worthy winner.

Record signing Matt Mills picked out the unmarked Guy in the box with a superb 40-yard-plus pass and the pacy forward made no mistake with a clinical finish to beat keeper Tom Heaton.

It was Guy's second goal in as many Championship games and, on this sort of form, he is going to take some shifting, even when Jason Price and Darren Byfield are both fit.

What Guy thinks about life in the Championship, and whether he feels that he can continue in the same vein, is a matter of conjecture.

Guy rarely gives interviews and prefers to let his feet do the talking.

Which is a pity because it would be interesting to hear first hand the impact that manager Shaun O'Driscoll and his No 2, Richard O'Kelly, have had on his career since arriving at the club almost two years ago.

"A couple of years ago he wouldn't have been on the pitch," said O'Driscoll.

"It was a smashing ball by Matty. He hit a 40 to 50-yarder to Lewis's chest and he showed great control and great presence to hit the target.

"If the keeper had made a save it would still have been a good effort, but he scored so I'm pleased for him.

"He has always had that in his bag, but his work off the ball was exemplorary and he's become more of a complete player."

Another man to catch the eye was Richie Wellens - whose central midfield partnership with Brian Stock lost nothing in comparison with their Cardiff counterparts.

"I thought that we did well and should have won the game," said the former Blackpool and Oldham favourite.

"It was important that we scored first because the way they play, and the fact that they were solid at the back, meant that they probably would have hung on had they taken the lead.

"The ten to 15 minutes before they got their equaliser, I thought that we had looked comfortable.
