Not even posting this because of scienza , but I really think it was a pointless dumbass move getting rid of AA, even if you don’t rate him as a cf which he still did a good job and was top scorer at one point surely he offers a shit ton more product then fellows and matsuki on the right ? . This was a man who had nearly 40 goal contributions playing on the right last time we where in the championship and he’s better there anyway . In general spors has done pretty good business but this and relying on bazunu for half the season could cost us

Absolutely but because many of his chances are kinda self made we can forgive it more .. also at least he always does provide a goal threat when you compare him to fellows on the other side Leo is the only one who really kinda cuts in and provides that goal threat from out wide

Seen a few doubting him to step up to the prem but if todays anything to go by he will be just fine. I think it’s actually debatable now if he’s better then lallana was with us at this level ? Both great in their own ways lallana a bit more tricky but Leo has the directness and pace that he can as most cut through teams by himself if he tightens up the shooting would be a monster

This is why we still have a chance most teams don’t take the cup that seriously even we haven’t been really up to this point . We need to even that up by going for it full strength, be great to keep the run going especially in the anniversary kit

Without judging on seven matches he shouldn’t of got the job in the first place though . To be fair I was totally against the appointment but considering the stats of us being top since he took over and all the other stats I think he’s earned a bit of slack now But without hindisight it still looked another retarded gamble from sports republic and I hope this doesn’t swell their egos to keep making inexperienced appointments

Perfect for this thread. I actually think Nathan Jones is a decent manager and think his personality is awesome think we appointed him at the wrong time could have done a decent job if appointed in one of the championship seasons and given time . Also the man is just TV gold you need characters like him by far the most entertaining press conferences in my time supporting saints 🤣

Let’s see how much they love him when he ditches them off after relegation like he did us .that wasn’t the point anyway I’m sure a lot of people would say xavi was a better footballer then Le tissier but I very much doubt xavi would have saved us year after year in relegation battles

Cortese was the most important person at the club since MLT

I know they play different positions but personally I think scienza would have more impact then fernandes, fernandes is neat and tidy and probably be great in a good side but he’s not the sort of player that’s gonna have a huge impact in a relegation battle and hasn’t helped us or West Ham . Scienza has enough about him to be a threat at top level and be a bit of a talisman

Pretty disjointed performance really not sure matsuki has enough pace to play out wide. not many brilliant performances today probably give man of the match to manning azaz worked hard too and Bree just keeps giving feels a bit of a meh day with all the teams above winning but another 3 points in the bag

Must be thinking of someone else ? First time I’ve made a negative comment on him

Matsuki looking slow and lightweight

Even though the popular argument is that we are better with the big strikers I do wonder if a pacy Armstrong type forward suits azaz gane better ? He’s just so damn good at picking those passes like he did with scienza yesterday but without Armstrong there is less pace and options for him to hit with those type of balls . probably gonna be a unpopular view and nothing we can do about it now anyway

Yeah I think Bree is just as important as the other two events though since we switched to a back four we have been flying and to go with that he’s also providing a massive goal threat quite regularly too The man has been sensational and probably player of the month for me

Motm performance from azaz last night the way he took his first touch with the goal opened it up and lovely finish also when there is space in behind he will find you put Leo through for his goal, is it me or did Larin look super frustrated with Leo for not squaring it ? he kinda laid on the floor when Leo scored. if there’s one man we gotta talk about being player of the month though it’s gotta be James Bree he’s been instrumental in allowing us to get away from the 3 at the back has absolutely sparked our run of form and to go with it he’s providing a massive threat could have scored again with that header too, give this man a contract maybe Nathan Jones I wasnt so stupid after all

If he is any good we should be at least making the playoffs from our position with this squad. for the most part I think spors has actually done well in the transfer window the only danger position is striker which is a pretty big gamble but we have quality in most positions compared to the other teams round us.

He kept Everton up and won 6 out of 18 for forest, doesn’t look too terrible . Sometimes though decent managers do fail with certain jobs only gotta look at hoddle at spurs after us or Koeman at Everton . Just seems a bit nuts when tonda is getting lauded and dyche ridiculed after doing an immense job with Burnley . For the moment I think he’s kinda doing what Russell Martin did in doing alright in the championship but if he can be anything more then that is still to be seen

Yeah be interesting to see how Larin does with a start with the first team he’s looking quite a pleasant surprise so far and potentially stronger physically then ross. I’d be happy with that and also give edozie a run out on the right . People arguing for matsuki to start but I think he’s probably better depth/cover for azaz then the wings not sure if edozie is as effective on the right but allows him to cross on his right anyway, really impressed with him since coming back and like Bree it’s like a new signing

I think the thing with azaz is he’s a kinda average player in general but possesses some outstanding attributes like his through balls and vision if he was a fifa player you would probably give him low stats for everything and 90 for passing and vision.. Also think he’s at his best when the opponents are not playing a low block like charlton did what he does exceptionally well is to split defences with through balls to run onto but when there is no space in behind it kinda nullifies his game. I don’t mean this to sound too negative on him as what he does do well I think would even work well at higher level some of his passes and through balls are weighted to perfection so he is always a great player to have

Thought he was great again yesterday the charlton defenders seemed scared to commit to trying to tackle him so kinda just backed off him he was less greedy then usual too. Looks way better then fellows.would be great if we can get him and Leo in the same side

This is nonsense .. whatever your opinion we was second favourites for promotion. Behind Ipswich at the start of the season ..and we have strengthened a hell of a lot since that so yes it is one of the best squads in the league however poorly will still done with it . also what’s the matter with dyche? Your talking about a manager who kept a dogshit Burnley side punching well above its weight in the premier league for a long time .. is absolutely no guarantee of eckart doing any thing of that note and it could well be another Russel Martin type nightmare if he gets promoted and isn’t managing a better squad then the rest of the league like he is in the championship

I think maybe azaz strength is unlocking defences with through balls a bit harder to do with 8 or 9 men camped in the box

One draw doesn’t mean gane over we are only 4 points behind . Plenty of football left

This match is set for edozie to unlock dribbling them to death

I think I’d be happy breaking even on downes it was a transfer everyone wanted at the time but I don’t see a ceiling higher then a very good championship Dm,of which you could probably get another goiod championship dm for a lot less then 18m
