Everton win for me. I think Forest are more likely to go down than Everton, who I think will pick up points at the business end of the season.

Hes awful. Needs dropping which has been obvious for months. Had we invested in a proper keeper, I think we’d be out the drop zone right now. Obviously we have other issues within the squad, but this clown is one of, if not, the biggest.

No, he’s a terrible keeper because he doesn’t save any shots.

This is the team that should have started (Tuesday) maybe the 2 new lads for Adams and Armstrong. Not tomorrow though, for me. The ypungesters anyway. The rest looks good

Let’s be fair, if Jones had said this he’d have been crucified. Weird comment.

Clearly absolutely nowhere near being our worst ever manager, but there is an interesting snippet on the most recent ‘undrthecosh’ podcast, with Danny Simpson from his time at Leicester with Puel. Pt2 From 57 minutes if anyone wanted a listen. Let’s just say, pretty critical and echo’s comments I’ve been told from saints players at the time.

I gave him credit during the Gao years, I thought he spoke well and was doing a decent job with his hands tied. Probably the benefit of following that American fool. However as Time has gone on he’s proven to be an absolute fraud. Far too much respect given to Ralph and the SR appointment is solely on him. I for one can’t wait foR him to leave.

Is this opinion or is there trouble in paradise already?

It’s impossible to say how quickly we’ll bounce back. Regardless of what happens, even if we somehow do the impossible and stay up, I suspect that there will be a bit of an overhaul in the summer. Usually, I’d encourage the board to be ruthless and say ‘you’re going nowhere, you got us into this mess, now you get us out’. However, the squad is so toxic full of mentally weak wasters, I hope we flog the lot. By all accounts, SR will continue to fund the project even in the event of relegation. It’ll come down to who we sign. I’d like to hope that SR have learned their lesson RE taking risks on 18 year olds. Whilst being out of their depth in the PL, we do have some players with proven experience at that level, who’ll be one of ‘the better ones’ in the championship, AA, Che being examples. From a pure footballing perspective, relegation might be a blessing and would probably suit our model better than the PL.

It was more in reference to the front 4 & Lyanco at CB. None good enough as proven multiple times. Give the new lads a run out and an opportunity to learn the role and gain some confidence.

JWP & Lavia the rest, genuinely couldn’t care less and hope they go. Small case for ABK and Salisu.

Jesus

He’s really not. I think Orsic and Elyounessi lack pace to be successful in England, but they’re significantly better than Djenepo who has no technical skill whatsoever. the true reality of the situation is all of our attacking options simply aren’t good enough.

So we had the media guff telling us how the ruthlessly honest Selles had told players “they won’t play for him again this season”… well who the fuck has he told, because Lyanco, Armstrong, Mara, Aribo, Djenepo etc just played tonight and they’d be first on my list.

Djenepo is a fucking terrible footballer. I’m convinced he’s pulled some Ali Dia type scam for us to have brought him.

That’s kinda how I saw it. All be it worse defensively so somehow actually less valuable.

At least the players like him, aye… Been quiet but selles, but always struck me as a massive overreaction to beating a very poor Chelsea side. Pretty much sums us up at the minute, trying to be alternative and smart, patting ourselves on the back for mediocrity. Not seen anything from selles as a coach or manager to suggest he’ll make it, but hey ho, I’m sure Ankersen knows better…

Please can someone answer me this… Were a team who’s bottom Of the league, on a drought of goals and confidence is rock bottom. We play a team from L2 (a chance to get a few goals and a big win) for a chance to gain a spot in the 1/4’s of the FA cup, and we make 9/10 changes and play a load of reserve shite. It doesn’t make sense. It really doesn’t. I’m not sure how many more chances they are going to get but, Djenepo, Lyanco, Armstrong and co have proven they’re not good enough for our team. Why waste time giving them game time. Ridiculous team selection.

I don’t see it, he doesn’t do anything well. Physically seems a little small. Maybe he needs game time, but it certainly isn’t at a PL club. I’m not sure he’s right for a championship team either.

Forster is significantly better than Bazunu 😂 Bazunu is a terrible keeper, think Angus Gunn / Gazzingina, but arguably worse. He’s easily the worst keeper in the league and that’s including no2’s. He literally doesn’t save a thing.

Semmens isn’t innocent. He kept Ralph 18 months longer than he should have. We had Howe in the palm of our hands.

Yep, that was pretty clear imo. Hence why the continuous questions about when is he going to be sacked/why is he here etc. we’re really bloody tedious. To be fair, after his outburst (rightly or wrongly) saying he’s doing it his way.. he kinda deserves one more game to see if it’s all talk.

Ha! You know what I mean.

Ironically, one of the best atmospheres I’ve seen at St Mary’s for a long time, was when we were 9-0 down and all the fickle pricks had fucked off. The role of the fans is to get behind to team when the going gets tough. Backs against the walls 1-0 up or 2-0 down. On that front, we’re just as shit as the 11 players that are put out. The whole club is toxic at the minute and the fans are just as much to blame.

I’d say it’s clear. It’s clearly a load of bollox. It’s easy to say that the assistant (who was also assistant under the turgid football of Ralph), picked the team for our only decent performance. Im not sure that Selles has done to be seen as such a great figure by our fan base.
