Lucky, that. We had them in our pocket for the first twenty minutes but then sat back and invited them to play. Well done Ellis Simms to save the day.

Simpkin looks like he should be doing lines in the toilets

 

[fatso]

Not pretty, but perseverance paid off.

Sometimes you have to win ugly, and thats what champions learn to do.

A massive stroke of luck with that deflection off Simms and their keeper falling for Rudoni and the defender not deflecting it wide

 

[Evo1883]

Rudoni has hit form just when we needed him to. results far more than performances now

He was incredible first half , best hes played for ages

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Think Bobby is in their keepers ear there about his time wasting costing them

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

we deserved to win

 

[Nick]

Lampard giving it their fans

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Well done Ellis...chasin that down got us the goal

Wright wouldn’t have chased that.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Lampard lost it with their fans!!

What’s the history?!

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

A game we deserved to win and thankfully did. First 40 was some of the best stuff we’ve played all season.

Lampard giving it their fans

Get Southamptons lawyers on it

Lampard giving it their fans

[hologram]

Phew! painful second half but we got there. Their keeper looks like an xbox dweeb, tosser

 

[Johhny Blue]

Robins’ Time

I agree best weve played for a while first 40

That was stressful, but 3 points in a difficult game is a big result.

 

[jto123]

The stars are aligning.

 

[Esoterica]

Lot of pressure on Middlesbrough on Monday now, away at Brum with the rest of the top 8 all winning. Then Ipswich vs Hull on Tuesday.

 

[Liquid Gold]

More points than last season already and it's February.

We finished in the playoffs last season!!!

 

[mark82]

Haji & Rudoni with goals in the last 2 games. Big players turn up when it matters.

 

[duffer]

Fuck me we made hard work of that! Feels like our name might be on this championship...

 

[fatso]

Lampard lost it with their fans!!

What’s the history?!

They gave him real shit at their place, and he had a go back.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Sky Blues fantastic from start to finish - never in doubt

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Wow - that was an important result...everyone else near the top won, but the games are running out, and we keep our lead.

 

[TomRad85]

They gave him real shit at their place, and he had a go back.

Last season he gave it them too. Lampard hates Stoke fans and rightly so, they are mutants.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Had to win
Deserved it for the first half display
Not a good second half
Torp way too deep
Not quick enough with the ball

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

We rarely seem to get keepers that are 'having a Collins'

say what?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Robins time, baby.

Frankie time!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Should have been 5-0 up at HT, second half dropped off massively.

Metaphor for the season perhaps?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Lampard loves breaking Stoke hearts late in the game. Much deserved, would be criminal if they walked away with anything.

3 wins against them all in injury time

 

[skybluecam]

Should’ve been more comfortable but I thought the general performance was encouraging, we showed we can dominate a game again.

 

[TomRad85]

3 wins against them all in injury time

EMC wasn't quite injury time but very late. Got to sting hasn't it

 

[Sick Boy]

Lampard lost it with their fans!!

What’s the history?!

He did it last time too. I think it goes back to his Chelsea days.

 

[skybluecam]

Should have been 5-0 up at HT, second half dropped off massively.

Stoke had an eye on the draw from the start of the second half, was always going to be hard to break them down. But we did.

Should’ve been more comfortable but I thought the general performance was encouraging, we showed we can dominate a game again.

People said it was like Oxford, but the first half was more dominant than that.
