Worst thing about the away leg is that you'll need a telescope to see the football. Terrible place for away fans to watch a football match - absolute pisstake. For the first leg, we should build a temporary stand holding 2500 on massive stilts above the Chapel.

He plays on the left He plays on the ri-i-ight Mislav Orsic Makes Haaland look shite And if Orsic hates Pompey, clap your hands (clap clap clap)...

Rest Haaland and DeBruyne for the Manchester derby and play ManCity U20s (2021) vs ManCity U20s (2022). That seems fair. We'll agree to rest Lyanco and Diallo in response. Saints 3 (Lavia 18, Edozie 62, Bazunu 90+5) Man City 2 (Wonderkid 4, NewMessi 11) Roll on the semis.

Wrexham away would be fun.

Obviously it's the fans' fault. Players and manager completely blameless 🤦‍♂️

I think it's more that they're wilting under the pressure at home. Best periods of play under Jones (I know their haven't been many) have been in the second halves against Liverpool, Fulham and Palace away. If St Mary's stays toxic, we're definitely going down.

Armstrong for England. I've always said it.

Absolute pony.

Bring back Shane Long. It's the only solution.

The bit that resonates with me is when he says Lyanco wouldn't get into his Havant team 🤣

Post of the day 👆

The worst thing about that abomination of a first half is that Forest were absolutely shit. And they were miles better than us.

Of course he won't. The silver lining at the moment is that despite winning only 4 in 29 (is it really that bad?) we're not even close to being cut adrift. Lots of bang average teams in the league this season and a little improvement could go a long way.

Played ok (not great) for most of the second half then gifted it to Fulham by failing to get within two yards of the Fulham player with the near post flick on. Atrocious defending. If everyone is fit (and without whichever superstars we sign in the next few weeks) we should be playing Macca Tino ABK DCC Sali KWP JWP Romeo Stuey Sam Chele

Also true that in the first few weeks Jones had to implement his ideas Sali and ABK were at the World Cup and Tino, Lavia and KWP were all injured. So that was just DCC available.

Why won’t three at the back work with Sali ABK and DCC? And KWP and a returning Tino at wing back? And Lavia patrolling in front of them? If it’s because the players have already decided it won’t work without trying out the ideas of a new manager they can fit in or fuck off IMO.

Mods, could you make sure you save this as a Golden Thread, please? I’d like to reread at the end of the season. Give him a chance FFS. If he fails, he fails. We go again.

Fair point. I was at both games, and there seemed to be less effort at Brentford away than at Brighton this week. Brighton was more lack of confidence than lack of effort. We looked scared to press, confused, and the soft first goal knocked whatever stuffing we had right out of us. Standing at the other end of the ground I presumed there must have been a massive deflection that my fading eyesight couldn’t see. But, nope. Nathan needs a dozen games to make his mark. Trouble is, if he fails we’re as good as down.

FWIW (and I've never seen him play live) but my Cov City supporting mate reckons Gyokeres is the real deal and would make an impact in the Prem. Is he an option?

I'd take Amrabat from Fiorentina and play him alongside Lavia. He's been superb.

Boufal leaving a Spanish defender for dead and showing why we replaced him out wide with Theo Walcott and Adam Armstrong 🙄

Chris Wood and Ismaila Sarr Both know the league, both are achievable buys, both are better than what we have.
