Love this, he is JUST what we need right now ... 2025 Jimmy Case!

Oh yay, data ... ffs

I think this is EXACTLY why we need an experienced manager who is not trying to be their best mate. We need someone with age on their side and experience with winning something to command some respect. This type of person would come in, explain how they want things to run and invite anyone who is not "on board" to say so (privately) and they would be found a new home. The key word is "privately", it should be between the manager and the player, not between players and certainly not made visible to the paying public. This matey matey coach crap has to stop as I do think the players should take MORE of the blame than they are, but they have been allowed to do so. Just my 2p anyway - may not be right, but that's what I want to see.

Course they do, he was a 'mate' rather than a manager. Rhino, Taytay or whatever ... ugh.

Okay. Bye.

Agreed with all that.

Sorry I must be living on a different planet, I thought it was one more ... ffs 😂

Wish they'd pull the plug on Will Still now - Preston is a 'free hit' for a new manager and then the international break comes at a good time. Edit: I'm on another planet and got the matches completely wrong, ignore me 😂

He was doing just fine with what he had, then Sports Republic entered the arena ...

No, it hasn't done for years, yet we still do it. Time to stop. Stop buying food and drink and merchandise, stop buying additional match tickets, make a stand.

Get this guy out of the club - NOW

I'll keep the sarcasm going then if it works ...

So glad I found a stream, what a brilliant match this is.

WHere are you watching this??

Ange ... 🙄

Agree with this

Don't really know what to say ... I have no words or feeling. It's just weird.

Thanks ... happy 11 year old tomorrow after he kept tapping me yesterday grinning asking if I'd seen it 😂

Anyone have a link to the Scienze nutmeg in the itchen / chapel corner please? My son keeps asking to see it again after yesterday.

Exactly this. I thought we looked decent and created enough chances. Scienza was brilliant, Wood amused me a lot too - but we do need a bloody decent striker who probably with that service, got 3 goals easily. Decent striker and we win that 3-0. That scoreline and lack of win was purely down to poor recruitment.

Far too many hard questions are NOT being asked of these people. I wish our fanbase was not so easily manipulated. Why is our recruitment so poor? Who is leading it, who makes the ultimate decisions? Why do we insist on buying unproven "talent" and trying to be clever? What do these people have against buying in older, experienced pros with no resale value? (and I'm not talking about players who contribute nothing like Lallana last season, but for example Keiffer Moore) Why did we not buy a PROVEN Championship striker? (linked to above) Why loan out Ramsdale? Why buy Long? Why loan out Bree? Why buy Mads? What is the actual recruitment strategy? What team, or type of team are we trying to build? Everything is way off here, the strategy is fkd and unclear, the recruitment is bizarre ... just WTF is going on? Stop being so placid and ask the hard questions. Good grief.

Strength: Iron ball bag.

I'm better than him.

12/1 ... NOW that is worth sticking £10 on.

Agreed, same starting 11 again please. Get some consistency, allow them to understand more about each other and their positioning and styles.
