SW11_Saint

Pedestrian until the late subs. Switched from 4-2-3-1 which just doesn’t work with our personnel. Looked much better with 5-3-2 and with Robinson’s energy on the pitch. He’s a must start. Bazunu made a couple of decent saves, Charles looks composed and authoritative. Would much prefer Edwards in a 3 with JS & Quarshie too.

It is now!

Not over yet!

Penalty!!!

Robinson has to start…

Yessss

Your name says it all…(almost)

Though still better than Arma & Fraser. I’d rather see him alongside Downs.

Another great save from Baz.

Like Sunderland appear to be doing… will be interested to see how they do.

What’s he done wrong? Great save earlier.

Silver lining - Charles looks good. Very composed on the ball.

Watching Rooney vs Davies it’s so crystal clear why Rooney is never going to make it as a manager. Echoes of Still in Davies too I thought, which gave me a bit of hope (focused coach rather than ex-player with a ‘been there’ mentality, clear-headed and analytical, but also tough and passionate). Definite sense there’s a new breed of coach entering the game now…

He’s not involved in the football side is he? I’d say he’s done a pretty good job in increasing off-field revenue with the fanzones etc.

Specific questions like “why did you play ‘so and so’ in a particular game?”, “why are the shirts so expensive?”, “can we get better beer in the concourses?”. And yes, I’ve actually heard all of these questions before…

Two candidates to buy or for the manager’s job?

They are by and large a PR exercise of course, but I generally enjoy listening. I think the panel try to be as open as possible, but the thing that always irks me is the number of idiotic questions from the floor - either irrelevant or too specific “why are you playing xxx?”. Also, people love giving long winded intros to their questions which no one wants to hear, and wastes time. I hope Blackmore vets the questions, weeds out the ridiculous ones, and manages the floor better this time.

Anyone watching the new Birmingham City / Tom Brady documentary on Amazon Prime? They totally screwed up by hiring Rooney, but definitely seem to have it right with Chris Davies, he’s very impressive. Reason for posting here… in the first episode they referenced “Trying to buy a PL club but we got messed around” - before turning their attention to Birmingham. In the back of my head this was maybe Sheff Utd, but I did wonder ‘it wasn’t us was it’?! They have very big plans for Birmingham, including a new 62k stadium.

You’d be hard pressed to think of a worse place for him to go. Oddest of moves - footballer’s graveyard and not sure he’ll thrive under the pressure from their deluded fans.

Plenty of our players are guilty of that! Without Matty we lack guile. Desperately need someone to fill that role and provide a creative spark. Too many of our midfielders are workers/pedestrian. Brooks may not be the answer but he had a very good second half of the season at Bournemouth.

Wonder if they’re considering David Brooks? If fit, he might fit the bill. Or bring back Stuey Armstrong!

He’s still at 25/1 on Bet365. Some of their odds are very generous.

Mate sent me this (as posted on another forum)🤣 #ArgosSaints
