That's a good point. I said the other day though that I am okay with giving him time to develop and become that player, BUT, we needed a proven goalscorer at this level and he isn't that. Still time for Armstrong to find his goals again though hopefully.

I have an idea. Why don't they create a league of 24 teams that play each other twice a season to determine who gets promoted? Let's say the top 2 teams get promoted. I think that would work.

Upon reflection in the morning, I think it really is "too early" for him in this league, but, why was he bought?? We needed a proven striker, not a long term project. And you're right, even if not ready - RUN. The jogging was really pissing me off. If he needs time, fine, but a) loan him out and b) buy a proven striker in the first place.

I know, it was a tough call, but nice to have 3 in that position I'd be comfortable choosing.

On tonight's showing with Azaz added back in: Doesn't matter Jelert Wood Quarshie Manning Charles Jander Armstrong Azaz Scienza Archer

Charles is very good ...

I would agree that I like the look of Jelert a lot ... really tidy.

Amazing!!

Get him in the U21s, shouldn't be near the first team ...

Would love to sub him back off for Stewart.

Subs have made us slower ...

His cheat code bruv

That was a frightening comment. There were a few that made me cringe ...

If the question is "should we have kept tall Paul", then just how awful has the player recruitment up front been? Yes, we know ... 🤨

This team should easily be good enough, especially with the money spent, it's criminal how poor they look as a unit now. I'm laying the blame firmly on the management and coaching team. They had a whole summer to prepare and yes there were a load of new players at the end, but before they arrived the team didn't look overly cohesive and like they had a solid plan. I want to see how it goes against Liverpool and 'Boro though before getting my final nail ready. I don't expect a win against Liverpool, but I just want to see more of a plan, damage limitation is fine. But against 'Boro I want to see a dominant home team, looking like they know what the fuck they are doing and winning.

Watching the football league show, some of the League 2 football / goals look better worked out than what we've been served up with.

Yeah I know ... it's nice to be unrealistic after that shower of shite.

Just signed with Brondby, 2 weeks ago. Spunk the cash on Nuno.

Did we win possession wars though? 70%ish, incredible, I'm so delighted.

Yep, definitely seen enough - this manager is another dud, move him on before it's too late. I was hopeful today after a full week of training, but, that is fucking awful.

Seen enough, utter dogshit.

It looks like they've taken a load of feeds / scrapes and made some figures up ... here is the SO postcode population (estimates) which more closely match this guff - https://www.plumplot.co.uk/Southampton-population.html We all know the population of the city is around 280k. The internet really is full of misleading shit.

One bright spot, he looked like there was something there

I have never seen so much fake Stone Island in my life, sad.

Crap match, although second half was better, crap atmosphere for a derby, was about as toxic as fresh water from the tap. Annoying. Giving the team the benefit of doubt though, a 2 week break with some missing, loads of new faces, so let's see what the next couple of months bring. If it's still like this in 5 or 6 matches, let's hope Danny Rohl is still available. But hopefully it won't come to that, fingers crossed.
