This league is essentially 3 good teams (Leicester, Ipswich, Leeds), 3 shite teams (Wednesday, QPR, Rotherham). Then a load of meh in the middle. Certainly 2 or 3 playoff spots up for grabs, I’d imagine Southampton, Boro, Norwich will be favourites for them but no reason we can’t throw our name in the hat. 6 points between 7th and 21st. Having said all that, I thought we were pretty average today, got a lucky decision 1st half, missed a sitter 2nd half but took the 3 points and that’s all that matters. Absolutely hate how pathetic we look when a goal up though. Seriously lacking leaders on the pitch.

We don’t have a clue what we’re doing here now. Right decision to hook JRC, some atrocious output going forwards and tracking back poorly too. Thankfully a weak hand on his goal and we can hopefully sort our setup out again and take the 3 points.

Lovely from Dolan!! JRC did his best to miss 😄

Impressed by Trondstad. Not so much anyone else on the pitch. I’d be livid if that goal was disallowed against us, Hyam and Carter are very weak at defending the box for crosses.

Leo Hill, Carter, Hyam, Brittain JRC, Tronstad, Wharton Moran, Szmodics, Sigurdsson

They are optimistic about the future with Evan Ferguson and Nathan Collins, and then potentially the likes of Moran and Kelleher (if he ever leaves Liverpool). Besides, every other nation around will qualify for these International tournaments soon. 48 teams are going to be at the 2030 World Cup. Surely even Ireland can manage that! Hopefully Sammie comes back with no injuries and a nice big boost to his confidence and happiness in the game.

Here’s a 2nd verse too… Who brought him here so, The man who played in the San Siro, And now he’s our Rovers hero, Jon Dahl Tomasson @SBlue I struggled for the first line and syllables in the second line of this…so any alternatives are much appreciated (can also go in the bin too) - but I always prefer it when we have a 2nd verse so the chant doesn’t fizzle out https://youtu.be/9BPLqGH6spA?si=p3-Aw0kobknxeju- 40 seconds in to this for the tune

Fair enough, just trying to get other suggestions going. Anything is better than the usual morgue or dum dum dum dum dum *insert striker* (Newcastle fans belt out the She’s Electric one)

Few pints and tonight’s Rugby for myself. Someone posted it during the match but the first goal feels so crucial (not sure if that’s generic in the league or just our team and our heads dropping). The past 4 games we’ve had loads of chances to take that lead and then instead get hit with a sucker punch, leading to us completely losing the plot (Sunderland in particular). 3 very winnable games coming up, shame about the pointless Int. Break, gives us some recovery time and we should be aiming for a maximum return from those fixtures.

Ha yeah sorry, quite the omission… She’s Electric and Supersonic (both Oasis) - Newcastle fans sing the first one for Joelinton so not the most imaginative, but fits well for our new Icelandic beast.

Been a long time since there was a post in here (apologies mods if there is a more recent thread). Plenty of new players (and a manager) since 2018 to get some more imaginative chants going. Quite like the Gallagher one…two of our current star men below definitely deserve their own song! Edit: She’s Electric and Supersonic for the two below

United, Burnley and Preston lose….Rovers finally battering a team and showing the execution we’ve flirted with for a few weeks. Just gutted I planned to fly over for this one but after the Chelsea draw decided I’d book over for that instead!

Yeah agree. Moran a Brighton lad so will instantly be favoured over Szmodics by managers like Kenny. Top scorer in this league deserves to be in that squad though for sure

Wonder if the clown Stephen Kenny will eventually pick some players on form and give Sammie the deserved call up to the Irish national team

🎵 His name is hard to spell, I’d rather no-one else, We’re feeling Supersonic, give us Sammie Szmodics, Pass that man the ball and he’ll score another rocket. 🎵

🎵 He’s Icelandic, Now he plays in the famed blue and white kit, He makes the rest of the league look like they’re shit, Arnor Sigurdsson 🎵

We’re a weird team, it feels like we lack quality in areas then I see Travis, Moran and Brittain coming off the bench and think this must be a pretty good squad!

It was proper variance there, all stats showed they were scraping undeserved wins (sort of the opposite of ourselves). They’ll be back to the usual mid-table finish.

Markanday has such a good nick for winning the ball back, he’s starting to get a bit more confidence and is looking better every game.

I know it’s said tongue in cheek to gain a reaction, but around this stage of Mowbrays stint he was just handed £12m to spend on strikers….then we had another 3 years of nothingness with them.

Yeah the ref was bizarre. He gave us a free kick for a perfect tackle on Moran that was literally 1 yard in front of him. Coventry didn’t look up too much. £15m of strikers looked pretty average, just unfortunately our team of pocket change and academy grads looked even worse!

Cheers mate, can we have the £14m or Clarke and Bellingham please?

They hit the bar two other times too to be fair. Maybe if we had another two we’d eventually bundle the ball over the line

It’s only been glimpses, but it looks exactly as many of us expected when he was announced. Desperate for a number 9 all summer and we pick up a lad from the dog and duck in Bavaria on the last day for whatever change Venkys dangled for us.

Worryingly created very little tonight. I wasn’t expected anything from the game but god we lack any quality. Markanday and Dolan are league one at best, they should be nowhere near this starting 11. Bottom 3 if we lose on Saturday I’d imagine. Brittain and Hill if we’re scraping for some positives
