Putting my Saints frustrations, darkness/depression to one side. I do think that with just 2 great additions - 1 very proven/decent big old school Striker & 1 Strong/Commanding Centre Back - we’d have a team that would get in play-offs at the very least

Predictable performance/result 😔 Every opposition manager must just say - stay patient, they’ll have lots of possession, which will be no threat. Punish their mistakes & have faith, they will make many, they will fall apart, we are much stronger We are no easy fix, major change needed If there is any truth in that we could add a Free agent squad member right now then the whole club should be working every hour under the Sun to sort this now for a big strong awkward centre forward to hold the ball up Armstrong & Archer are no real threat & very easily controlled in the main We need more urgency & much more directness through the middle rather than always passing out wide ending in nothing so bloody frustrating

Terrible performance today Just when I felt a slight change in my outlook on this side There is no way on earth we will b getting anyway near Play offs this season 😞

Simply - absolute mediocre shit Mid Table if lucky Fellows only positive

Blimey - what a nervy ending! Great 3points against a team who’ll be up there & will soon be very hard to beat. Feels like it’s all slowly going in the right direction now 🤞 Love Stills honesty, say it how it is! & his courage to make some tough decisions - been waiting a very long time to see Stephens out of this side & THB deserves dropping - although I’m very worried with Quarshie - terrible today! Stewart, Fellows, McCarthy, Wood, stars for today Disappointed with Manning, Quarshie, AA tonight - the rest were just ok Never sure about Charles - he’s hard to work out for me whether he’s doing enough Think Stewart could be immense for us with plenty more game time & staying fit

More direct balls through middle like that please

You could record the 1st 5mins of Saints play & then just play it on a loop. Such boring, uncreative, predictable dross!

That performance has lifted my spirits & thrown some much needed light onto the Saints darkness. Some very good performances out there which should give Still some tough decisions for the weekend. Defence looked pretty decent , Jander & Scienza full of energy & fight. Archer & Downs both really disappointing. McCarthy never looks comfortable with his feet Hoping this can be our turning point

Very disappointing start

Thought Fernandes & Lesley were both outstanding today - only positives I could see

Could easily be 6-1 down already What a complete joke of a defence Embarrassing- don’t think we do any defensive coaching whatsoever Jack Stephens - got no words for this Cnut

Can only see a very heavy defeat tonight with Brighton’s excellent attack being far too good for our Woeful defence 😔 4/5 nil Hope I’m very wrong!

Absolutely spot on! Most frustrating & boring/pointless football week in week out - nothing ever changes Talks a good game - that’s where it stops! Get rid asap

Today - I’ve decided to give in to that annoying little voice in my head that pleads each week for more positivity with Martin, Stephens, Bednarek & a few others So, come on lads - time to kick start our season - COYR - onwards & upwards 🤞

I do like Martin as a person & truly wished something would change for the better for him. Sadly, It just hasn’t happened & he’s had a decent amount of time to put things right. The very sad thing is we seem to be going backwards! Failed miserably in defending & attacking departments. Get the right man in right now before it’s too late - big kick up the arse & lift, sort out CB Defending as a priority & I’m confident that the rest will fall into place & we’ll have a chance of staying up

Don’t matter how well we play / outplay a team - when you have a shit defence - it will continue to the same outcome Bloody frustrating! Wait for the idiots now to big up Stephens return

Can’t see anything but a battering! Ramsdale MOM and saving a complete embarrassment. 4-0 loss 😔

4 games in 8 goals conceded 1 Goal scored No doubt we have the best possession / pass completion in the league, which seems to be what we are happy with. I really question the decision makers at this club. It’s blatantly obvious to most people where our significant weaknesses are & have been for a very long time!. We will not survive with our options of CB’s (maybe only ABk) Our coaches clearly do not know what to do in the final 3rd - clueless Frustratingly, we are only a few changes away from a decent side in this league.

Could put your house on Mbeumo & Wissa scoring against our shitty defence Martin is proving to be right out of his depth - wrong starting line up - very weak defence - nothing in final 3rd - these areas never improve Joe Tessem saying our defence is an absolute mess

Martin can coach his boring bullshit possessional garbage & feel like a coaching God. Clearly hasn’t got a clue how to coach in the final 3rd or defensively Deluded

Jack Stephens mainly to fault there - not THB

I’ve said it before & will say it again! Tell me where or how Russell Martin has improved our Team as a manager/coach since being with us? He’s got away with murder this season mainly by pure luck Defence still an utter joke Midfield all over the place Final 3rd - where do I bloody start!

No changes - Martin is clueless

In the recent Championship nominations for Season achievements (where we were completely snubbed) Russell Martin should’ve been nominated for Manager of best possessional team who do absolutely Fook all with it he would’ve pissed it

Stephens starts 😔 Martin clueless! Why do I bother ?
