Most of the players look unfit, even by Championship standards, which is why we struggle to survive the last 20 minutes of games.
-
Because it was deflected off Adams' arm and the officials have to pretend that didn't happen or the goal should have been disallowed for handball.
-
No, it took a big deflection of Adams' arm. Otherwise the goalkeeper would have saved it. But, as others have said, the officials now have to pretend that didn't happen or the goal shouldn't have been allowed. If that costs Coventry a playoff place, they'll have every right to feel they were robbed. On the plus side, we tried a few long range shots instead of doing what we usually do and passing sideways. A lot of goals are scored via deflections, even by the very best teams.
-
So, to sum up: good riddance.

As you say, he is a 6/10, mediocre sort of manager, which is what his whole managerial career told us he would be. The owners seem to want to turn us into the new Swansea - a small, mid-table Championship team with good passing stats - so he was an ideal fit for them. Nobody's going to want to poach him away from us, so you don't need to worry about loyalty. The highly lucrative world of professional football isn't like the civil service. By ordinary people's standards, fortunes can be made in 1 or 2 contracts. Very few managers last more than 2 years at one club. Most get sacked before then and can enjoy their new-found wealth at their leisure.

Do you really think that anybody cares that Wilcox has gone???? He's done his job and dumped a load of Man City duds here. He obviously didn't care or have a clue what we needed or he'd have brought in a decent goalkeeper. Good riddance.

We could probably stick you in goal and not fare any worse. Bazunu is about as good at goalkeeping as Frank Spencer was at D.I.Y.
-
We weren't just "brave" to line up with Bazunu in goal against Ipswich; we were f---ing stupid. How the Ipswich players must have laughed when they saw they were facing this clown again:
-
To be fair, if Bazunu were playing in National League South, he might not be the worst goalkeeper in it. Maybe that chap you spoke to is equally bad. Of course, that's only a 'maybe,' not a certainty. There must be people in the crowd at St Mary's who'd save more shots than Bazunu does, but, Lumley probably isn't one of them. Portsmouth team-mate on under-fire Manchester City keeper's dark period after Ipswich Town nightmare The Ipswich players must have been laughing their heads off when they saw who was in goal against them on Monday:
-
We now know how our goalkeeper recruitment is done. Somebody needs to teach them how to read the list the right way up.
-
Let's be clear about this. He is not just one of the worst; he is THE WORST. No other club in the league has a goalkeeper anywhere near as bad.
-
None of it counts for anything when you have a goalkeeper who's going to gift goals to the opposition. It was the same last season.You just know we're going to be stuck with him next season as well. If only we'd had a half-decent goalkeeper, what might have been.
-
The Championship will be weaker at the top end next year and Saints could very well win it. We'd probably also have a better chance of staying up then. If we scrape into the third spot via the playoffs this year, we'll probably come straight back down again and miss that window of opportunity.
-
Pompey fans will be hoping for 11-0 to better their record defeat to Leicester.

I'm not sure I'd even bring him on as a sub as he could throw the game away.

Liverpool 3-0 Saints - Match Thread
Nordic Saint replied to Stripey McStripe Shirt's topic in The Saints
Our strikers, although they miss a hatful of chances, score goals in the Championship, but if we do manage to get promoted , we'll need to get a Premier League class striker or we'll be coming straight back down, bottom of the table. Ted Bates' purchase of Ron Davies was the main reason we managed to stay up the first time we got promoted. -
Liverpool 3-0 Saints - Match Thread
Nordic Saint replied to Stripey McStripe Shirt's topic in The Saints
Good effort from the starting eleven. The midfield put Liverpool under pressure and created good chances. With better finishing, we could and perhaps should have gone 2 or 3 goals ahead. THEN the subsitutes came on and we collapsed. Smallbone was like an extra player for Liverpool so it started to look like 12 players against 10. Whenever he got the ball he kicked it towards our goal and away from Liverpool's. He never even managed a single sideways pass, let alone a forward one. But, once again, credit to the starting eleven who ran their socks off and really worked for each other. Even Klopp mentioned afterwards how good Saints' midfield was in the first half. -
Can we please sing more than one verse of what is supposed to be our song? It always peters out, like it did at Anfield tonight. because our fans only know one verse. Even one more would help keep it going. Oh, when the saints go marching in Oh, when the saints go marching in I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in. Oh, when the drums begin to bang Oh, when the drums begin to bang I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in. Oh, when the stars fall from the sky Oh, when the stars fall from the sky I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in Oh, when the moon turns red with blood Oh, when the moon turns red with blood I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in. Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call. I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.

To be fair, whenever I watch any TV games, the away fans of every club, wherever they are, seem to spend most of the game singing, "Your support is f...ing sh!t." This must surely be a great inspiration to the team they have travelled to support. Ours tend to be more polite, hence the popularity of the library song. Maybe we could further enhance our reputation next time by singing, "Is this a Carthusian monastery?" Although the home fans might well reply they find this rather obtuse, or words to that effect.

Elijah Anuoluwapo Oluwaferanmi Oluwatomi Oluwalana Ayomikulehin Adebayo has scored a hat-trick for Luton tonight. He's already a big name.
-
He's 40 so this is probably his final season. He's certainly had a remarkable late career. He won 50 caps for Portugal, a European Championship, a Nations League and a French League and made more than 20 Champions League appearances, all over the age of 30, and now he's won the Portuguese League Cup.
-
Another trophy for Jose Fonte. His Sporting Braga team have just won the Portuguese League Cup Final.
-
Only one? He must have put up a hell of a fight.

And Pompey have no balls at all
