Absolutely, 100% this. I posted earlier about the dicking about, but it's so true - we look like we're going to break and counter, but stop. Pass. Pass. Pass again. By then, the opposition know they have time to get all 11 men back and then nothing happens apart from the insipid passing from one side of the pitch to the other, via 4 or 5 players, only to be in the same situation on the other side. It is slow, ponderous and insipid. I don't mind possession based football as it happens, it can work well, look pretty - Pochettino's Saints did it well enough, although the "get it forward" brigade hated him too. But what pisses me off is the lack of ability to finish off a counter attack without a sideways or backwards pass. I think there were a couple of times today when exactly that happened - a break, ooooo, edge of your seat, something might happen. Stop, pass sideways. Fuck off. (All I want is to mix it up a bit - it shouldn't be solely about possession, sometimes, let a break happen and the players should be encouraged to pour forward to support, just sometimes)

That was quick!!

Boring. Slow. Ponderous. Error prone. No finishing. Dicking around in front of their defence. Poor crossing. Weak tackling. Team of 'nice boys'. Preston deserved to win that one.

Cazoo is shit. Multiple experience, shit.

I now want to go to Hull for the weekend just to go there ... and probably ruin my memories with the new era of helmets I'd no doubt find haha

Funnily enough I looked that up ... yes, it is!! What a place, what nights had there! Great memories 96-98!

That's a fake advert created by the Irish Garda to attempt to tackle drink driving by showing that it's got tighter or something. Either way, it's not genuine.

I agree - this team looks good when they counter and break quickly ... before realising they'll get told off and turn round to pass it back ... sigh ...

Same with KWP and Adam Armstrong. Don't get me wrong, I thought they both had decent matches, KWP especially - but the amount of times KWP ran on the overlap and was on his own (and on side) and could've whipped a ball in, but Adam Armstrong either didn't see him, or didn't want to pass to him in the open and passed in back into a more crowded midfield. Drove me mad as it must've happened 4 or 5 times.

It's the new tedious thing this season ... "PGMOL" .... bore off, annoyed with hearing "PGMOL" already.

Check out about 23 seconds in, Aribo giving Wesley some evils and a talking to (on the left) haha

See you there - that's my new home too ... different times!

Exactly the sort of match I thought this Saints side would be beaten in; rubbish Tuesday night match, low quality dirty opposition ... but Saints were pretty good, worked hard as a team, really hard actually! Hopefully that will build them some decent team spirit.

Fuck off. Reds were reds. Goal wasn't offside but it was marginal anyway, fuck them.

Much better! Loved the more direct pace in the first half - corners still scare me to death, but more of the team looked like they were trying and getting stuck in more too. Well done.

"Storm Agnes, named by the met office" ... FFS ... shut up! 1) it's a bit of wind, 2) who cares what name the wind has, 3) who cares who named and 4) why did I hear this same line EVERY time the weather was on? Fuck off.

No - that's completely false. The blue, pink, white is for the trans community. Don't believe the bile on social media.

Absolute rubbish! Whilst many thought he wasn't right based on his history, he came out with the right words and everyone was onside. Losing 4 on the run with this squad in this league, playing inept, passionless football and players out of position is why everyone has turned. He's not the right fit. He seems a good guy and can speak well, but results speak for themselves. If you're happy to watch mid-table or worse championship football where they tip tap around with no pace and concede exciting counter attacking goals, then well done you.

I agree. This club has been so completely fucked up and mismanaged it's unreal. Piss poor transfers. Worst managerial appointments possible. Ridiculous "project" concepts. I'm lost for words. Just get a PROPER football manager in (Allardyce, I don't care!) and win some fucking matches playing normal fucking football with some passion.

Regardless of the final score today - I've seen enough (again) to know Russell Martin has to go now. Before it gets worse.

Give him a new contract!

Yes Russ. Better get them all then.

This. He came over as decent to start with, but he's clearly all emperor's new clothes ... Needs replacing before it's too late. This club and this team of players don't go up this year, the dregs that are left following the next two transfer windows will be wallowing around this league ineptly for a long time.

Awful footballer. One of many purchases as to why the club are where they are. Black box must have been hacked ...
