Old cliche but it really is the perfect time to score.

They are already on plan B, now they have to go into the dressing room and work out plan C with a few minutes.

AFCCOVENTRY · 2025-12-20T13:18:58+0000

Rovers 2-0 up against Millwall

Captain Dart · 2025-12-20T13:19:03+0000

Rudoni is playing well too, he's back up to proper match fitness now.

Nick · 2025-12-20T13:19:13+0000

Even without the goal, much better than I expected when I saw the lineup.

COVKIDSNEVERQUIT · 2025-12-20T13:19:26+0000

I'm really pissed off with these shit referees, definite penalty and would have had to send him off, bottled it.

The boys are playing well, considering that without four of our best players.

FergieTheFinisher · 2025-12-20T13:19:29+0000

That was a class header from EMC!!!

Not to the opposite wing though?

I think you will find his is.

Could be a great opportunity for us today.

Marty · 2025-12-20T13:20:10+0000

Not been impressed with Southampton at all. Wouldn't mind that Scienza though tbf.

StrettoBoy · 2025-12-20T13:20:13+0000

Millwall 2-0 down and Preston 0-0 at home to Norwich

Liquid Gold · 2025-12-20T13:20:22+0000

We have them playing like the away team and that's about the biggest compliment they can give us.

HadjiChippo · 2025-12-20T13:20:30+0000

EMC is the total package in this league really, can score all types of goals, a constant threat.

Skybluekyle · 2025-12-20T13:20:41+0000

This commentator: Cross by Torp....LAMPARD!!!

Totally agree. Fantastic half and only Torp I'd say who is disappointing, but he has that crucial assist!

Just gone back a few pages and it's all negativity on here. Morons

shmmeee · 2025-12-20T13:20:57+0000

Think we’ll need another goal. We look shaky at the back at times but we also look like we can score more. Good half that. Eccles Dasilva and EMC all having good games.

Shannerz · 2025-12-20T13:20:59+0000

That was an excellent half from us. Deserved the lead. EMC very good.

Penalty decision; their bloke falls into Wright sending him down. I can see why the ref didn't give it but we're really not getting those decisions this season.

And the ref was absolutely played by their forward to get Grimes booked. That was really poor.

procdoc · 2025-12-20T13:21:34+0000

Massive 45 coming up, they’ll up the tempo

Interesting to see how we deal with Fellows when he inevitably comes on.

Look they have some fantastic individuals but definitely don’t seem very cohesive.

Its mental. You know I can be negative as can be, but it was a very good half. Should the worst happen and we still lose, i have enough confidence we will get the 13 wins to see us over the line. We just look too good.

skybluecam · 2025-12-20T13:22:27+0000

Good half. Lati and Woolf not bad, helped by us mostly having control of the game. Will probably need a 2nd goal though.

tisza · 2025-12-20T13:22:28+0000

Still think a point here would be a big result. But i reckon we'll score again so 3 could be on the cards

I think he’s superb. Gives any right back a hard time and the biggest thing I admire about him is he just keeps going at them.

Not one of these boring wingers who just passes it back. Wellington is close to tears here.

coop · 2025-12-20T13:22:38+0000

Need to keep that scienza quite 2nd half he's agreat player.Wright needs to play off the shoulder of the CB who should of gone.

kg82 · 2025-12-20T13:22:54+0000

Better team, great header for the goal. Ref is falling for Scienza theatrics all the time though. Noticed it last week when they played Norwich too.

Yeah seeing how we are performing against a decent side away from home with crucial players missing for us is massive for me. Regardless of what happens today, I’m already much more confident.

CovveeBreak · 2025-12-20T13:23:22+0000

Well, a very different game to what I and am sure many of us expected.

Saints showing they can cut us open (Lati and Woolfie given the run around several times now) but failing to do much with it. I don't think that will be the case for the whole game so we need more up top.

There is some great space opening up out wide, but either one too many crosses overhit, or just no-one in there to do anything about it. Remain confident chances will come, just need to take them.

Think the goal will settle us but I think saints will come out at us in the 2nd half so we need to be on it from the off.

Exactly my thoughts. We look comfortable. But if we do lose I still don't see soton being good enough to catch us whilst also expecting us to bounce back quickly

Im right up in the away end and generally our off the ball stuff is superb and so well structured .

Its hard for them to play their game , i firmly believe its more to do with us than how they are playing

Easier said than done

They’ve been very passive think we’ll see them much more on the front foot

Well we have been fouling him. But if that’s what we need to do to win then take it in turns lads!

Ccfcisparks · 2025-12-20T13:23:56+0000

I'd like us to get to 60 minutes and make a change.

Possibly EMC to the right with Torp going off and Rudoni into CAM.

He’s got all the tools. Looks so much better driving at defenders rather than getting involved in the physical battle/holding defenders off with back to goal

Danceswithhorses · 2025-12-20T13:24:19+0000

Not exactly prophetic, but if we're 1-0 up in the last 5 minutes, expect to see Scienza go down for a penalty and get it.
