Enjoy him whilst you can. Keeps up this form, won’t be here post Xmas, although in exchange for a big wedge of cash.
Outstanding.
-
What a player, what a blow if he'd have left. Fair play to all involved in keeping him.
-
I actually thought he was pretty poor first half. Some sloppy touches, possession gifted away cheaply and some poor decisions made. Two things that really stand out about Moly, though, are that he always, always puts a shift in, and he’s got goals like that in his locker.
Had said last year that getting him re-signed was more important than Adelakun and he’s picked up where he left off. Ultimately a great start for both him and us despite some shaky moments.

And Gibson looks an upgrade on Adelakun
-
Molyneux to Molineux ?
-
Luke can go up the leagues with us if he wants that. His reasons for staying were exactly that, and that he is loved and valued here… and that might not be the case elsewhere.
Plus - Grant and the team are improving his game.
-
When he scored his 'worldy' the whole Stanley directors and officials stood up and applauded- class.
-
It was a better strike that the one at Gillingham last season.
Any team that stands off him at 25 yards or less from goal are going to get punished.
-
On fire today should have had 4 goals, but we’ll take the 2 from him
-
He was good, very good today, a shame not to recognise Gibsons performance and goal though, he was as good.
-
For me the only thing he did wrong was not passing to Hurst in the middle when he hit the bar, can’t blame him for shooting though as he is high on confidence!
-
2 goals and 1 assist. That’s 3 chalked off his stated aim of 30 goals/assists for the season.
What a strike that was, by the way.
-
By far the best signing of the summer!! :thumbsup:

If he keeps taking up more central positions, as he started to do last season, those numbers look realistic.
-
Has the potential to be the next club legend. Hope Copps has been encouraging him to stick around for years to come!
-
Great that we now have assets in terms of players, Molly, Bailey, Maxwell, Hurst, Ironside, who else is going to be a club asset, Sbarra, defo, Gibson?? Etc etc…
Just over a year ago we had nowt.
What a job done by TB, GB. They really have grabbed it by the throat.
-
Something has definatley clicked with Luke in the last 6 months or so with regards to goalscoring. In his first 86 appearances for Rovers, he scored 6 goals. Since scoring one of his trademark 'worldies' at Grimsby he has hit 10 in his last 17. I reckon he'd be well into double figures for amounts of times he's hit the woodwork too!!
-
Mols is the best signing of the summer IMO.
-
Someone will pay good money for him.
-

Think molyneaux said something along the lines that he wanted to be the next copps, hopefully it wasn't just words as long as we grow with him i.e keep moving up the leagues and improve him as a player, and keep him happy no reason for him to leave unless someone offers him ridiculous money

Defo, when did we sign him???
-
i really wasn't sure when we just appeared to raid Coppingers little black book for Molyneux, Bailey and Sterry, but they are a great attacking threat as evidenced by the opening goal on Saturday. Some of those players are really going to be attracting attention if we continue the form of last season (which on first evidence has shown no signs of letting up) - a good problem to have for sure, and a while since we've had such saleable assets.
-

I agree. I wonder if somewhere in the negotiations a release clause was put in his contract. He’s destined for big things.
-
He's shite.
-
I'd imagine he will also become a marked man now for most sides in this league. he's had a tremendous fitness record since coming here, lets hope it stays that way.
Too many refs like the plum on Saturday and we may have more assets going down to dirty and malicious fouls.
Good players at this level need more protection from some of the cloggers in this league.
Mols is a canny operator and will know exactly what's required.

Make that 11 in his last 18 :scarf:
-
Another one towards his target of 30
-
Since he started getting his head up and coming inside to work his magic, he's a different player to the one trick pony he was.
He's now got the potential to be as prolific as Sammy Szmodics from midfield, so let's just enjoy him as long as we can.
-
100/1 to be top scorer. He almost certainly won't be, but that does feel like very long odds.
-
He's turning into a monster player at this level. Hope we can hold on to him all season.
-
Only when watching it back I realised he only took the one touch for his goal, just to stroke it under the 'keeper. Testimony to a cracking ball from Gibson to set him up.

Looks like a damn good bet to me.

he hit it to the side of the keeper who got a hand to it
-
Nice moment at the end of the game when a kid was stood up holding a flag with Moly on.
Moly poked Broadbent, pointed to it and was grinning at seeing himself on the flag. He was genuinely buzzing.
I think he’s the kind of lad who loves being loved and appreciated.
Probably harder these days with the money flying around but I think he’s the type who would stick around for years if things worked out that way.

Even I can afford to have a bit of that !!

Hopefully Billy and Copps will have a word saying how good it is being at Donny and how to achieve legendary status

Unfinished business.
GM has championship intentions
Luke & Co are coming with us.

Is the latest Voulez vous song about Molyneux? Couldn’t make out the lyrics on Saturday!

Some of it goes “we’re calling you” and I guess the next bit would include Molyneux so it rhymes.
Another bit I picked up was “running down the wing”.
Maybe someone can enlighten us Alan.

This is outstanding value. He is never injured and plays every game too.
He is essentially a striker but the bookies will see him as a winger.
They have several back-up strikers and carthorses for less fancied teams shorter odds than him.
-
Is this to be our top scorer or top scorer in the division?

Just googled it and Arsenal sing it for Bukaya Saka
Molyneuuuux running down the wing
Ah hah
Hear the Rovers sing
Ah hah
We are gonna win the league
Or something like that?
-
Sung by every single England fan in Germany every minute and sung by every club about one of their players. Originality = zero
-
1. Wasn’t in Germany
2. Obviously, not every Club sing it,as it’s the first time I’ve heard it sung at the EcoPower last Saturday.
Therefore, it was ‘original’ to me!
-
I heard it at Rovers last season Alan but not loud enough to be able to pick up the words of the song, hence my misunderstanding what the words might be in my earlier post.
-

So what?
Fans support their players, who cares if they nick a tune from elsewhere.?
-
Oh, we’re gonna rock down to The Sal with Molyneux
And then we’ll take it higher
(To the tune of Electric Avenue)
-

Genius!

Gets my vote too.

OMG, that's superb

This needs to be sung at the start of the match like we used to with copps and billy etc

That made me think of the Robin Hood tune.
Molyneux Molyneux running down the wing
Molyneux, when he scores, this is what we sing,
Molyneux, Molyneux, Molyneux.
Or, some bright sparks could adapt Molly Malone.....Moly Alone?
As he moves like an arrow, through fields broad and narrow.......
I'll not give up my day job!
-
There's already a version of the Moly song to Tom Hark... "We're off to t'Sal, wi' Luke Molyneux"
Electric Avenue one is better though.
-
When he signed his new 3 years contract, didn't Moly say he wanted to become 'the next James Coppinger'
Also wasn't there some suggestion that Coppinger played a large part in signing Moly (and Bailey and Sterry) via geographical connections?
Well if Moly does stay long term, what a legacy that could be for Copps to be leaving us :scarf: :scarf:

Nothing personal me old. Alll aimed at getting a great atmosphere at keepmoat. Working on thoughts for a Molly chant. Surely something that involves ironside and off t' sal? Off to Italy soon for some Serie A for isnpo
Meantime let's have some words to the der der? And yes not original I know but copying 1 of 92 is better than copying 92 of 92..... "'Were the donny, super donny, and molly scores again" ?
