If we had signed Keiffer Moore it would only take our coaches a couple months to get firing like Damion Downs

As we are very much a one man team, maybe ´oh when Scienza, goes marching in’ is fitting?

Everyone is aware that even Mad Nate would consider Saints a step down too far?

It doesn’t matter who we bring in, the implementation of tactics and patterns of play are not being communicated from manager to player. The intermediary in these comms are the coaches and that’s where the problem lies.

Cut the cable, don’t pay hard earned money for free stuff

Are we too much of a step down for the 2nd coming of Mad Nate? Anyhow IMHO we need to let Will Still continue to complete the job, we need to sign ‘walk into starting XI’ replacements for: McCarthy, THB, Stephens, Manning, Wellington, Downes, Downs, Archer & Armstrong. When Will Still has offloaded all the above detritus plus the others that are surplus to requirements then I will judge him. Currently he’s playing with garbage collected by previous managers.

Or, we could be simply overpaying crap players.

But if you are good enough to join Bournemouth you are not joining Saints

Joe Aribo as a striker, alongside AA. Give Archer and Downs the rest of the season off and cancel their contracts

start fining players for backward passes, simples

any streams?

But we would have only coached all the talent out of him, it's the Saints Way. Buy a player and make them worse, sell them at a discount for them to improve under professional coaching at their new home.

But let our coaches at them and we will turn them into shite double quick.

James Bree Jan Bednarek Dom Ballard

Sulemana Tall Paul BBD the latest three but this trend goes back years.

But this is the Saints problem, we can coach the talent out of anyone, reducing their value down to their physical attributes Look at all the players that improve as soon as they leave Saints, and we can all recall talented players who totally bombed on arrival here.

The change required to get this once great club on a decent footing is too large to complete in one transfer window. We need to replace every member of backroom staff, and every player who was with us for the relegation season. These are the vectors by which our growing mediocrity has spread. Again we shouldn't rush promotion, we were not ready for it last season, I think 27/8 will be the year of our resurrection, this should give us enough time to offload the unwanted, build a decent spine and have a squad capable of staying up after promotion.

Damian Downs is a poor man’s Tall Paul, start fining Macca for playing out from the back, hopefully this performance isn’t another instance of playing for a move, with normal service being resumed on Saturday. This could be the catalyst of our season.

Why doesn’t anyone at SFC tell Macca to row Z the ball whenever it’s played to feet. Yes it’s childish but surely safer than what normally happens

Playing for a move again chaps?

We know that Still like to play with pace in attack and wingers who turn the defence, so it's either the players won't do it or cannot do it. We are so lethargic in attacking by the tine we are in shooting range they have 10 players in the box. As for squad strength, our spine is incredibly weak: GK, CB, CM, CF all either not good enough for this league or just about scrapes the barrel.

They could put out their women's team and we'd be on the wrong end of a dicking.

Bad 's clearly not a keeper of Championship standard, and as we no longer need to play Russball, the main reason for dropping McCarthy is nullified. Also drop THB and Stephens

Same old sideways walking football, absolutely zero movement off the ball. When the WeeMan looks like one of the better players you know you have big problems.

When Fraser is your standout best player, you got serious problems. Too many players still here from last season. The following need putting in the 50% off bin: Bazunu Stephens Edwards Sugawara Fraser Armstrong
