First couple of press conferences would be absolutely box office. But any kind of rational thought process shows its extremely unlikely to happen on so many levels.

I would stick with the 3CBs - shoukd have more than enough for the win. ------------Henderson----------- -----Richards--Guehi--Lacroix----- Munoz -Wharton-Lerma-Mitchell ------Zaha-------Freedman----- -----------JPM--------------

Yeah but ideally someone we won't become a rival of in a couple of years e.g Lewes or Eastbourne Borough. When I was a kid I sometimes went to watch AFCB if we were away and it didnt ever feel like a rival. I recall their admin and many Saints fans donating etc. Same as the L1 season rivalry with Brighton at the Withdean, was panto stuff but we had a 32k stadium vs a shot put arena. Yet both of those are now lightyears ahead of us. Any suggestions of up and coming non league teams that will likely trade places with us but in a less awkward way? Godalming having a good season, but its a bit far.

Feel more. Show some pride. Show you care. But only when you are told to. Absolute nonsense the reaction to his pitch exit today and fair play to him for at least showing something, especially as has been our best defender this season. Imagine in years gone by if a player had been slagged for biting back at fans? Its ridiculous and inconsequential.

Obviously not something that is taken lightly but end of the day its painful being so shite and to a certain extent is a choice that we expose ourselves to this kind of mental load. So, if you were to just fuck it and switch, who would you move to support instead for the next few years of expected wilderness before making Saints your primary again if we march to an upward curve? Personally I live near Brighton these days but there is a big disconnect between their legacy fans and those who think Pascal Gross is their best ever player so they are ruled out. To spite, I think I would go Palace. Pretty PL settled so unlikely to be a direct rival. Good Holmesdale forum. Easy to get to a few games a season, better chants and Punch played well for them too. Will probably see how the rest of this season goes but if its dire, SR stay and Glasner cooks with CP then an easy switch to make and can swap back if fortunes reverse.

Haaland would be good, although didn't score in his last outing. Ekitike probably available once Isak starts firing but not sure he has the grit/steel/championship experience that we need.

Heaven forbid if he tried to implement an actual style of play in possession!

To be fair, I don't think its him making decisions like that.

The two questions for me are: - When Jander and Robinson were named as illness doubts but were still going to travel were they then separated from the rest of the squad to stop others i.e Flyn Downes from catching it? - Given the above why the hell were Aribo/Matsuki not asked to travel up with the squad to provide cover? Additionally, given their lack of football why wasnt one or both down to play for the U21s anyway? To end up in a crucial game with a player who is miles away from the first team squad coming on after being sat in a taxi for 2 hours prior to kick off is just awful planning.

Whoever it is, someone with a bit of warmth and personality who sounds like its not an absolute chore would be a good start.

2 wins from 10 is surely a lot less than even the most negative Saints fan would have exepcted? Has to improve results fast. In isolation you can be unlucky but over the 10 games so far we just havent played well enough, shwon enough cohesion and progression and ultimately have been left with a massively below par points tally. Got to go on a run of wins or he will be under massive pressure come next Intl break.

I would have gone back four but its a very strong team for this level with ridiculous bench options. No more excuses, must win and start playing with some in possession patterns.

Steele has signed a new contract at Brighton so we could go for James Needle instead. Hasnt played for a few years but alongside Osmajic's bite it would make us nastier to play against.

Got to revert to a back 4 IMO, it is what the summer recruitment was done for. Get Fellows, Azaz and Scienza in the positions they have excelled in and put Arma up front as he has to play. Alternatively Arma for Fellows and Archer up top. Either way, our season rests on getting the best out of Fellows, Azaz and Scienza and to increase the goal output from those positions.

Judging by the usual cliché on here we should be bringing in Jason Steele, Osmajic from Preston and might as well add Steve Gritt to the coaching staff.

Its pondering from the highly reliable Turkish football media so must be true.

The coaches know if players are ready, technically, physically, tactically, mentally. The gap between being a top player in the U18 league vs the Championship or PL is absolutely huge, as proven by multiple Saints Academy lads who have cooked at youth level and then failed to even make it in the National League. If someone is seen as being ready I am sure they will get a chance. If they arent ready then it does way more harm to the player than good.

Its wide open, so our slow start hasnt really cost us. Fixture run in Oct & Nov shows nothing to be scared of so fully expect us to be in the top 4 by end of Nov and hopefully top 2. Lower than that and its very poor considering our squad.

Same points after 8 games as we had under RM. Wouldn't it be awful now if Still manages a club unbeaten run stretching until after Christmas but which contains a few draws?

Clever to have left ourselves with PL loan spots free. Thats usually where the value is in January.

Would probably bring in Roerslev for this one in the role of front sweeper, stopping all Sheff Utd attacks before they reach our CBs: -------------Macca---------- -Edwards-----Wood----Quarshie 《《《《《《《《《《《Roerslev》》》》》》》》》》》 Fellow--Charles-Jander-Manning ---------Arma-----LND--------

"There's only one Andrew Davies"

Must be some doubt over whether Dawson will play Championship cricket next season? Feels like recruitment of a frontline spinner is key over the winter as surely the other remaining overseas slot has to be taken by a batter (or likely multiple over the season).

Guessing Dawson will go white ball only for next season, especially now England hopes are over. At least Abbott should clean up in Div2, although he certainly doesn't deserve relegation. Will need to sign a Gareth Berg type reliable seamer who has a bit with the bat.

Just have to hope that GMR place full trust in Giles White for a rebuild...
