Glad to see you’ve come around. You were telling me to come around to reality and it only took you 2 weeks to do so yourself.

6 points from the next two and I’ll be confident we’re staying up, 4 points and I’ll be hopeful, 3 points and I’ll be worried, less than 3 and we’re down.

Absolute dross bar 3 or 4 who can hold their head high. Gallagher wide forward. No more needs to be said except VENKYS OUT

If we do go down, we ought to hope it’s Pompey, Derby and Bolton going up this season to give us a shout at being fancied to bounce back

Still not a peep out of Greg and co. about how they managed to fuck up a 3rd transfer window either. They’re stealing a living. The whole upper management needs gutting.

Yep, people started using results against JDT but not much has changed. 3 draws and 2 defeats in 5 matches he’s taken charge of. Defence looks just as bad as before and that’s with an extra defender in there. Ominous, as others have said, we need 6 points from the next two. Has Sam Gallagher ever been in the right place at the right time? Must have the worst positional sense of any striker I’ve ever watched.

Some posters on here appear to have completely forgotten the transfer windows he endured. 3 separate occasions of incompetence leading to transfers falling through - yet no consequences for those involved.

But remember our coach is state of the art…

There was one in the first half where Buckley had his legs hooked, the ref must have been 2 yards away looking straight at it and awarded nothing. Some stuff really had me scratching my head.

Grow up

Give over. If I won a million trophies with Newcastle (lol) and they were then playing Rovers in a match there is still only one team I’m supporting. He’s a Newcastle fan, at the end of the day.

Probably covered in other posts but 2 coin tosses. What a completely ridiculous rule. Football over complicating itself again

1) What a joke that coin toss rule is. 2 separate tosses so Newcastle got their end and chose to take 1st. Surely the loser of the toss should get the other choice. 2) Ref was diabolical, is that seriously the best we have in this country, he was that bad I wouldn’t be surprised if his coin had same image on both sides. 3) Hats of to the manager and the players. Great performance all across the pitch and not a negative to be said about any of them. Too many players to shout out in all honesty, you were all excellent. Well done Eustace, hopefully we can freshen up and do a job and stay in the league. I’d be hopeful if it’s 20th (or whatever number it is) time lucky and you actually get some backing from Venkys. I won’t hold my breath though. 4) Hopefully a prospective buyer watched on somewhere and saw a historic football club, historic colours, famous stadium bouncing, great entertainment and 100% commitment. But hopefully said buyer isn’t rich with blood money like those cretins.

They must be thinking the same about Pears!!!

I’d be getting Pickering on now I think

Played like him tonight to be fair

Sigurdsson even broken sweat yet? Absolute luxury player and not a particularly good one at that

What on earth was the non-league level Liverpool lad doing then. They’ll be targeting him until the end if they have any sense

The ref has been atrocious. Missed so much a yard in front of him. Buckley one in the first half was shocking

Maybe John Buckley is a £10m prem player after all 😄

Just like to add they look worse than we used to passing it around the back. A few times their defence has had a free header and it’s gone straight to us. They're really not that good at back at all, if we can keep it 0-0 and keep the pressure on then we’ll get more chances Telalovic winner from the bench? 😂

Moran and Buckley are playing brilliant. (Silly yellow card aside). Szmodics his usual self too. Well done John Eustace, well done to the 11 on the pitch, well done to the protestors and the Venkys Out chants. Let’s have another 45 minutes of that.

Hopefully ends the same as that Championship fixture where we won 1-0 with 1 shot vs about 40 from Newcastle. Think it was Mulgrew

Trying to think of some that might match it… Etuhu and Murphy? Lowe, Akpan and Bennett?

Yeah I love American Football and have been to multiple NFL and College games (albeit perhaps not the stereotypical 'atmosphere stadiums'). But the atmosphere is miles away from proper football, it's all forced and artificial i.e. blasting music and speaker systems for the crowd to get loud for a 3rd down so it's just people screaming for 30 seconds. Give me a Football away end every day of the week. Large Stadium =/ Good Atmosphere. I see lots of other Sports doing this now....watched some Rugby recently and they were blasting out tunes between scrum resets. Cricket have done it for a while but at least that's a long and different format.
