Rotherham 0-2 Saints - Match Thread

Adams could have done better in the press, but makes ammends only for his pass not to be a decent one. That ended up with a Rotherham effort. -

Adams that time on the left. Strength allows him to get a ball in. With KWP on the other side, let's hope for a second to give us some room. -

Good start and good to see us get one from a set piece. -

Oh you're going somewhere together? I was waiting to ask where you'd managed to book, while Mrs Trousers was trapped, I mean holidaying, on the Falklands. 🙂

Oh, like that's a better guess than my Trump one. 🙂

Won't Trump be a divisive figure in the dressing room?

An impressive, and, when I wake up screaming at 3am tonight, utterly terrifying glimpse into how the CoT is so accurate?

Not a good time to ask how sick of the high ratings you are, on a scale of 1-10? 🙂

random thoughts.... I think that the requirements of Martin's system can be seen in the development of a number of players. It's impacted everyone a little differently. With a lot of versatility a requirement, it can be difficult to learn the various roles, let alone the timing and anticiapation required to be excellent in them. When players clearly have certain strengths, over others they will have to develop, I've not doubt it can be more difficult, and a bit more frustrating too. Last season Alcaraz, under Selles, looked like the attacking central outlet to break at pace. He got space to move into from the way we set up. He could focus on that, and have a bit of space to shine in. To move from that into a system that he's required to be part of passing moves to spring other people, be a lot more mobile and to be prepared to be the outlet, all at the drop of a hat is a tougher development. With language and cultural learnings too, it's a little tougher still. We've seen games where he does a lot of things well, mixed in with areas where he clearly has to improve, Games where he might struggle to make the difference himself, but when enabled by our big guns, springs into life. For some players, the frustration and goals they have simply aren't a match to the system. No shame if he moves on and we get the price we're looking for. He's celarly talented, so no reason why he won;t continue to improve with us. If he does go to a side that is a better fit, there's no doubt that all the extra things Martin required from him, will add a lot to his game.

Klopp said he'd not be a manager again in England. Only because he's desperate to be the director of football, and be part of the ride to glory, at Portsmouth.

When Man City are stripped of all their silverware, it's only fair that it all be given to the most deservingest club and their quite legendary bestest manager. 🙂

Tha was an advert from the Falkland Islands Tourist Board - Radio commentary - Random violence - Corrugated Iron photo ops The Falklands: It's not just Penguins! 🙂 It makes a difference reading the title, than being asked by someone if you'd like to see them. 🙂
