v Leicester City (a) - 1/11/25

[superniko]

FA Cup under JDT, Szmodics brace to keep us up under Eustace and now the Iceman banging in a few under Ismael.

Certainly a happy hunting ground for the Rovers

It seems fairest to say it on a day when he's won us the game, but Guðjohnsen is a terrible footballer. I think he's given the ball away with every touch (bar the 2 goals)

I swear I watch a different game to most of you.

He's a very good player at this level.

We ride our luck a few times and we also had a few more chances to make Leicester pay. Could have been a high scoring game but we deserved the win without a doubt. Lads put in a shift! 

And please don't start Henriksson again.

That save fro. Toth start of the 2nd half so vital. Would have lost otherwise 

It will come a huge bid for Roth I. January and back to Pears 😁 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Get in boys! Great result, onwards and upwards 

[Herbie6590]

New tee shirt coming soon…👀

[des]

Well a very good second half well done to all

[Andy]

Tell you something, that's a cracking performance and result.

Organised, hard working and dangerous on the counter - took our goals well and could have had a few more.

Toth's save at 1-0 was exactly why you need a solid GK at this level and why having the likes of Pears has previoulsy let us down.

3 goals in 2 for Andri and a clean sheet away from home.

Very pleased with that, let's make it 3 in 3 against Derby now.

[Hasta]

Excellent result. Let’s hope the rest of the afternoon is as Eze.

[chaddyrovers]

Full deserved away win and performance. We scored 2 and clean sheet. Passing need to be much better at times but work in progress from us. 

Back to back wins. 

Team looks together. Miller desire to block that shot in the last minute show they wanted that clean sheet. 

Toth made a great save second half but that's it. 

We could have 3 or 4 more if better finishing or better final pass. 

Joy to watch that today

Leicester look very poor. 

COYB!!!🔵⚪️

Get in. The Iceman 🥶❄️

He scores.

I cometh. 

[Bronzed A Donis]

Wonderful result. That was deserved, Toth proving his value again with the save at 1-0, earnt us 6 points this last week.

Alebioso - give him player of season already.

I'm taking some credit as I decided to wear my lucky shirt as I did last week, it'll be on again midweek.

Need to follow this up now.

[OsloRover]

Feeling a lot more confident now with our cup final against Derby not far away

[Polky]

Get in! 
 

Time for a drink! 🍻

[miqaayil]

good game great win.....upwards

[USABlue]

We did not play well at all till about 15 mins into 2nd half.  BigMac should have squared that ball once his farting around cost him the chance.  Great win, made up with that.  Now, Come on you Gunners.

Excellent win, having a reliable goalkeeper has been half the battle for us for years. Toth is looking very good. 

Ohashi must be a nightmare to play against, Alebiosu's ability to keep the ball when there is no room is superb. Two great finishes for Gudjohnson too. I'm a happy man!

That's a bit harsh - we were the better side for at least half of the first half.

The stats (on Sky) showed this a few times.

[AvRover]

Rovers played well today and a good win. Though I do feel Leicester were wasteful and should have scored and offered more.

Does this mean I have to go to the Derby game now! 🫣

Loving the optimism. I think we’re going to get our arse handed to us.

jordan rhodes was`nt much of a footballer,apart from putting it in the net,wether gudjohnson is any good is an irrelevance,if he keepis scoring,he`ll do for me

incidentally,i agree with you,he`s not very good apart from in the box

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Not expecting that..very good win.
