  1. Stream for tonight’s game, https://hes-goals.io Usually works for me this site (have always used it on my IPhone with Safari. Unaware how it runs on other phones and browsers).
  2. If, big IF, we win our game in hand we are 8 points behind Leicester. Beat them when we play them and Leeds to beat them too (good possibility), we are just 2 points behind them. Of course if we win them coming fixtures that is.
  3. Wonder if he’ll be selected for the match day squad if he keeps progressing. Just hope we can persuade him to stay for a little while and not jump at the first opportunity to join a big club (and remain in their youth teams whilst he could be playing first team football here).
  4. Thanks for the compliment Toussaint. On a serious note, it’s better to keep Stewart out longer then rush him back and get him injured again. If you want to see how not to rehabilitate a player, there’s a video of 3 physios (or better sad idiots) treating Neymar after his ACL injury. Just 3 weeks after the opp they are bending him his knee to full and you can hear him scream and swear. Like said earlier, my partner is a physiotherapist and specializes in knee and hip injuries (studied in Holland and university of Brussels). She says that a full ACL recovery takes 1 year, any sooner and the person is being rushed. When you see clubs having players on the pitch 6 months after an ACL operation, they are playing Russian roulette with this persons knees (and career). Good example is Arjen Robben whilst playing at Munich. He was injured and a international tournament was coming up. The physio of the Dutch team stretched his leg endles, gave him the green light to play and after the tournament he was out for almost a year with an injury. Munich sued the Dutch team for this.
  5. It certainly possible to be out with a hamstring injury for 5 months. If the hamstring is torn, and this isn’t the first hamstring injury for Stewart, you are talking 8-12 weeks recovery. Then it’s another 4 to 6 weeks to get up to speed and see how the hamstring feels. The club likely have decided that Stewart shouldn’t be rushed so he doesn’t have a setback in this injury. (Source regarding hamstring recovery, my partner who has been a physiotherapist for 17 years and specializes in knee and hip injuries)
  6. Please let our next goal come out of a classical Wesley Hoedt fuck up.
  7. 2 wins on bounce, let’s make that 3 before the international break. C’mon you Reds
  8. We all expect us to lose Saturday, but this is Saints and whenever I expect us to lose we win. Scrappy 2-1 win to us.
  9. Players, managers and directors get a relatively easy ride here. Bit of booing and maybe a chant here and there. Just look at other clubs what happens there when it goes wrong. Ajax fans kept throwing flares on the pitch last Sunday and when the match was postponed in the second half they smashed their way in through the main entrance to confront the board. Marseille fans burned down their training ground when results were poor and Feyenoord fans turned up at the house of this bloke who was about to be named member of their board wearing balaclavas demanding he didn’t. (By no way would I want us to do these kind of actions).
  10. The problem we face with sacking Martin is attracting a new manager who wants to come to us. How are you going to convince a manager to join if you have just sacked/released 4 managers in 1 year? Any manager would think wtf is going on there? Other problem is keeping Martin who till now is struggling to get us firing and doesn’t look like he’s going to. Keep him and likely miss out on promotion or even worse, get relegated. And what does Dragan think of having to pay off 3 manager whilst also having to employ a new one? If I was him I would pretty pissed of any demanding answers. We have 3 games till the next international break, lose 2 of those and Martin has to leave. Replacement? Not a clue, but wait to long and other clubs who are underachieving will snap up any decent manager available now. Tough times ahead for those in charge of us.
  11. Suppose Dragan could just kick Rasmus and his crownies out of the club if he wants to. I cannot imagine a billionaire would hand over his own money to a smooth talking journalist, to run a multimillion pound football club without having a contract or agreement somewhere where he can remove him once it’s going wrong. I know it’s SR that own us and Dragan is the investor, but unless Rasmus has conned him, he must have something on paper that can give him control. An old Dutch phrase goes ‘Wie betaalt, bepaalt’, who pays, decides. And that can’t be any different here.
  12. Give him till the international break, thats Leeds, Stoke and Rotherham. If we lose 2 out of those 3 then send him on his way. After that don’t try and be all smart and just get an experienced no bullshit manager and try to end in the playoffs. This squad has enough quality for this league to get to the playoffs.
  13. The amount Chelsea are paying him he is likely to remain employed for a while.
  14. Agree with most of the post, I think mistake number 1 was not giving Ralph the striker he asked for in the summer. Mistake number 2 was replacing Ralph with Jones. Brighton, Villa and Wolves all lost/sacked their manager before the World Cup. They then replaced them with experienced managers who had managed at the top of the game. We brought in some angry Welsh guy who claimed he was one of the best in Europe and had only had succes at Luton. Mistake number 3 was letting Rasmus do the January transfers after Shields left. Should have had the chief scout do the work. After that it was just mistake after mistake. I think we can conclude that Sports Republic aren’t fit to run a football club (let alone 3) and it would be best if they try to sell us to a more competent person/consortium.
  15. Just coming back to what has been mentioned often on here that the players need time to understand this new system. When Poch took over from Adkins he arrived on the Wednesday or Thursday I believe and we played Everton on the Monday. That game we already saw changes to the way we played. The next game was away at United, we lost 2-1 but outplayed United in the second half. Some of the players starting that game were Yoshida, Hooiveld, Fox, Cork and Ramirez. Decent players but certainly no top PL players. The year after that when Poch left Koeman took over with Lallana, Lambert, Shaw, Chambers and Lovren leaving, almost half of the starting lineup. Good managers don’t need much time to implement their playing philosophy. Martin has had a full pre season, lots of players with PL experience and we spent more than most Championship teams last summer. Do hope Martin fixes the defensive problems and is a succes here. Would be a huge worry if we get to the point we have to sack him and SR have to appoint another manager in a short time.
