v Southampton (a) - 16/12/23

[booth]

Blatant foul on Szmodics breaking forward and no card.

[neophox]

Superb save from Wahlstedt 

[B16Rover]

Leo's been a bright spark in a very dull afternoon

[Hasta]

I’m sure Mercer will be along shorty to tell us he actually backed Stuart Armstrong to score instead of Adam Armstrong and he’s opening his second vin rouge to celebrate.

[neophox]

Wahlstedt made some really good saves today keeping the result on a flattering note.

[superniko]

So much for that state of the art brand new leased coach we spent all our pennies on in order to make these long trips easier (words literally spoken by our clown of a CEO). Humbled by Plymouth and embarrassed by Southampton. 

Worst performance since Burnley away last season. The whole set-up should be embarrassed by what they produced today. 

[TugaysMarlboro]

Yeah Leo's had another good game and kept this at 2-0.

Encouraging for him, but never a good sign if your keeper’s your best player and you’re still losing 2-0.

Brittain’s Brain Fart still the deciding factor. He’s earned his 1/10 rating.

Can't we vote 0?

[neophox]

Stupid red card from Brittain

[Bethnal]

Rovers commentators confirming (implicitly) on the stream that everyone thinks Russell Martin is a dickhead.

[neophox]

3-0

[booth]

3-0 to Callum Brittain's stupidity.

Me neither until he got sent-off last week, twice in a week then, did he ever get a red for us. ?

Perhaps he hasn't picked up his usual "injury" that rules him out over the Christmas period so he's trying to make doubly sure he's unavailable.

[neophox]

Wharton defending woeful today think Hyam will be back next game.

[Rover8T4]

Perfect tactics from Southampton today, Hit a tiring side straight from the off. Legs were gone after 20 minutes and things went downhill quickly. Hope this doesn't damage the players mentality over this busy period 

[Roverthechimp]

Brittain Only long punt all game - pretty obvious he knew the whistle had gone.

Maybe JDT will make him sit at the front of the bus on the way home…

Seriously just wtf - max fine, triple training and outreach/community work over Christmas/New Year should be the minimum consequences

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We're so inconsistent and unpredictable its unreal...we bumble and stumble on in hope.

Don't be silly, we haven't got close to them at all. The red didn't help, but we were never getting a point. Another game where we haven't even attempted to play. 

[neophox]

We were poor today.....can agree on that.

Really poor today. Would prefer to see Hyam and Hill as our CB's.

4-0 flatters us.

 Correct, 4-0 is more realistic

[B16Rover]

I know we've had 10 men but we were shit before and shit after
