v Southampton (h) - 25/10/25

[davulsukur]

First time since the 1979 season, we'll have failed to win in our first 6 home games, should we do as expected and get beat tomorrow. Ironically, we got promoted in that season.

Rovers are now officially the lowest scorers in the championship.  Great summer business

Just off to spend £12.10 on a pint and a hot dog. "Exciting times"

Goals scored? Wins?

Outdated metrics those.

Performances have been excellent though.

And we're nearly there! (Wherever there is, league one at a guess)

Lose today and it will start to look like we’re getting cut adrift already. 
I mean I’m accepting relegation already. 
buzzing traveling 5 hours to never see us win…

Big game, a win is a must. I think it will be a mauling though by a team who have proven quality in their ranks, depth on their bench.

 

expecting an absolute hammering and hoping and praying for at least a point 


hoping to see some ambition with the team set up and us to go for it from the off - will be disappointed if we set up negatively and sit back at home

Asking out of genuine concern - has anyone heard from Chaddy?

Why would you travel 5 hours. You shouldn’t have come it’s wasting your money. Don’t come again until we have owners who care…

Got season ticket. Got to give it some use. Support the team not the regime. I come up on a Friday and go home Sunday so the footballs usually the worst bit of the weekend 😂.

Not another match day. I can’t stand the agony and the hopelessness 

It shouldn’t be like this

[dingles staying down 4ever]

This just feels like a natural end to a bloody awful week. I cant see anything less than a 2-0 defeat

[roverblue]

Been a while since I felt this reluctant to head to ewood today. Got no hope of getting a result at all 

[Lancaster Rover]

southampton are have surpassed us in underperforming their xG, can’t wait for them to catch it up today!

[moerpho]

This has got a dire 0-0 written all over it. Prove me wrong, Ismael!

No..but seriously…please prove me wrong.

[Jimmy612]

I still maintain we won’t get battered today. It usually goes like this… lose a few games, pressure mounts on the manager, fanbase expect us to get pasted, we come away with at least a draw so that they can shove it right down our ungrateful throats. 
 

2-1 Rovers or 1-1.

During the Kean era I went through phases of almost willing a defeat, in the vague hope it could be for the betterment of the team if it meant it pushed him over the precipice. As I’ve seen all this before, and knowing the manager won’t be removed, we have to hope this group can string enough points together to keep our heads above water. If we go in to L1, it could be years before we see Championship football again.

It wouldn't be a disaster to be honest.

If we managed to win today, we could leapfrog sheff utd, and get out the bottom 3.

It would, you need to win your home games for survival.

[Tom]

This referee is awful, he’s giving us nothing! 
 

Oh sorry I peaked too soon, whatever happens I just hope we have the most xG

[Hasta]

Southampton 1 win in 9.

That eliminates the  ‘premier league team last season, what do you expect’ excuses.

[sharpysharps86]

Dreading this. Think I'll spend the afternoon cleaning out the gutters instead.
