Agreed - violence at football is something I'll never get my head around. "We have a different opinion / you support a different team to me, so I'm going to punch you in the head". Very caveman-esque.

Always satisfying to (finally) win a game and a desperately needed 3 points. Wasnt a very good performance but it doesnt matter. My fears over relegation havent been alleviated in any way or my concerns over the quality of the manager and players but its 3 points on the board. The 2 forwards I thought again were poor, especially Gudjohnsen but if he bags the winner then he can be as poor as he wants. The thing is, we have no reasonable alternative. The defence is also a bombscare, we wont keep many clean sheets this season. Happiness for Wharton personally that he is over his injury and also that one performance at Watford I think perhaps convinced people that he is better than he is. Has always been poor on the ball and has a mistake in him. Im not having Miller either, not a good defender. I dont think playing the back 3 helps them though. He is limited but I thought man of the match was probably Gardner Hickman who did well, either him or Toth. The game swung on those 2 poor misses by Armstrong but Toth did really well on both occasions. Hes such an upgrade on Pears. Alebiosu has had better games but is still our main threat. Fortunate with his goal (how bad is McCarthy for Southampton) but deserves it for his performances this season.

Pretty cool that there's a Wiki write up about it.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tash_Force

I thought Wharton won most of his headers too

I thought TGH was excellent and probably the only player to come off at half time who played to par or above

It is which is why, along with De Neve Ribeiro can't get near the team at the moment.

I agree. Tronstad was really off today and bringing Montgomery on certainly got us on a different trajectory going forward but he also got in several telling challenges in our final third. TGH arguably had his best game for us today.

Best use of Hedges is as a LWB too.

The legend that is Keith Fear!

It was really strange to hear supporters booing and singing 'you don't know what you're doing' to a manager when your team are one up. They might have had a point after Still took off their best player and replaced him with a centre half who went to play in midfield. I think there might be two managerial vacancies in the Championship this week. Russell Martin anyone? 😂😂

Pretty certain its still John Prince (Head of Academy Coaching). He was originally meant to be in charge until a replacement for Sheron was sorted out

I think if we’re playing 3 at the back you can’t have TGH and Tronstad together otherwise we end up too deep. Tronstad going off changed the dynamic in the middle of the park where you had Montgomery and TGH on different lines for the first time which I felt gave us more balance and allowed us to use the space created much better

Strange game. That was as poor as we’ve been at home. We gave Southampton so much space to break into it was very naive . And yet we looked like we could cause them problems at the back. Once we went behind I was expecting the second to come. We hung on until half time, then took turns in missing huge chances. When Arma hit the post i would have been worried if I was a Saints fan. Then a tactical master stroke by the Saints manager allowed us back into the game. Credit to the subs who also seemed to give us that foothold. I thought Montgomery’s naive enthusiastic energy helped us in midfield. The attitude was right. A bit of fortune with the equaliser and then pleased for Gudjohnsen to hit the winner. Shout out to Toth for the big save at 1-0. Match winning.

The three at the back allows us to play wing backs and today they were probably attacking more than defending. Alebiosu and De Neve were really good today and the first goal came from Alebiosu getting up the pitch. Personally think we are more suited to a 3/5 at the back with the players we have but it's good to have flexibility and be able to change.

Shortly after the subs. Right on the aisle between 04 and 05. Around row 23 ish. Not good to see to be honest, when you’ve got rovers fans clouting each other shows the split in the fanbase

The fans deserved that today, hope you all enjoyed the win.

Who was the chap that travelled 5 hours? Hope you enjoyed it👍🏻👍🏻

We was in charge of the team please?

Appalling first half and started the second with a whimper. Started to pick up after 10 mins or so in the second half but when Moroshita missed that chance I thought we were done for. Lot of credit has to got to a few of the players individually grabbing the game by the neck and making something happen. Most notably McLoughlin, TGH, De Neve and Montgomery. Great to see the BBE turn on Ismael and ramp up pressure on the Venky’s/Pasha. The win after subs does more harm than good though in removing the dud, Ismael

Delighted with the win. Gudjohnsen would have been my man of the match. Much better second half performance from him and got us the winner.. All 3 subs made an impact. Still dont like us playing 3 at the back. Would be 4-2-3-1 formation as that is always my preferred formation. Should have scored more but could have conceded more. Delighted we won. Roll on to Leicester now. Let's win that one. COYB🔵⚪️

Statto statto statto!!

Whoever took the most blows to the head will probably end up as our next manager or director of football.

You all talk funny.

Is it bad that I’m pissed off we won 🤣🤣

Petty isn’t it. Just a small disagreement I honestly don’t get fans sometimes.
