v Southampton (h) - 25/10/25

[StHelensRover]

Coming out of the ground so relieved we've got a home win, to stop another unwanted record under these idiots. 

So relieved given how other results went, at one point we were staring at a large gap opening up to safety.

Very pleased for the players, we lack quality but they worked hard for that.

Having said all that, it still didn't pass the eye test. Armstrong could have had a hat-trick himself. On another day we could have lost that 4 or 5-2. We got away with it IMO, but what a relief. Even when we were winning and at FT, Blackburn End made it very clear that Ismael, Gestede and Owners are not wanted at Ewood Park.

I wish our dolloper was!

Massive win, think we owe a lot to Toth tonight 

[lraC]

TFFT.

Its horrible seeing what’s going on, as I hate Rovers losing.

It was a mixture of emotions at full time, delighted with the win, but we still have huge problems

Good on the fans for instantly starting the venkys out chants as soon as we go up. A single win doesn't change anything!!

Yeah my first thought, first time we’ve heard the crowd vocally expressing their thoughts and we go and come from behind to win! Hopefully those with their heads in the sand don’t start to blab about “just get behind the lads ffs”.

We really needed that win - it was starting to look like we were getting cut adrift. 2 more tough games then we have 5 of the bottom 8/9 close together which will make or break the season.

Massive win, massive relief. Can't blame the team for the effort, but we were lacking a presence and a cutting edge in the final third throughout.

Glad Gudjohnsen got his 1st goal for us.

Toth my motm today.

Yes, it's just fish and chips really, with a snazzy side.

Scampi in a basket for me.

Bring back happy memories of Sutty's.

Shall I put the noose away?

[OsloRover]

I think McLoughlin was given the PotM at the ground. Gardner-Hickman for me.

[B16Rover]

Toth very good, as was McLoughlin.  As much as Armstrong could've had two, so could the Japanese duo

Got a feeling we sneak a narrow win today and Gudjohnsen gets his first goal giving him and VI a little respite.

I’m usually wrong so expect an absolute drubbing 🤣

Well…….

Can you give me the Lottery numbers for tonight?

[Polky]

We needed that! Play-offs here we come!

[jim mk2]

Rovers are a poor side so goodness knows how bad Southampton must be. Why some of our fans are concerned for them and their manager only they know. I couldn't care less

A totally unexpected comeback win and a very welcome 3 points have to be celebrated but doesn't alter the fact we are desperately short of he quality on and off the pitch needed to stay in this division

The amount of chances missed by the Japanese lads was frightening..cant keep doing that!

Smart finish would have been putting it away first time.

He did not have the first attempt.  He got the rebiund, tidy finish.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

To those Saints match commentators...we might have faded seats with no fans but we can still beat your shower of shyte!👍

Have a crap journey home.
