this is the key point,they want a yes man who wont rock the good ship sports republic

i so want will still and my team to do well but i have to be honest he worries me

we have 2 basic problems,we cant keep a clean sheet and manning is a big part of that problem and now he doesnt attack either,the other is we move the ball far to slowly nobody takes a chance with a pass forward teams have loads of time to set up against us,we never knock the ball into space and turn teams round,if we did this teams would sit back and give us more space.Quite frankly if you take away the messing around in the 6 yard box we are exactly the same as last season

if you watch him hes trying to do the same as armstrong which is play on the shoulder to run on to things,however saints bought him as a target man and he clearly isnt that so that begs the question did saints actually scout him,ie watch him i would say clearly not because if they had it would be clear he wasnt a target man and couldnt trap a bag of cement if it fell on his head.

sadly most saints fans could set this side up better even with what we have.Two other points why doesnt jelleart start as he was our best player at liverpool and who in there right mind thought that manning was a better option than charlie taylor.

this is where the old combination league is such a loss,you would have played them in that and they would have played against experienced pros so you would already have a handle on them,all this academy football teaches them nothing and thats why they get loaned out

worryingly we recruited him as a target man which he clearly never has been in his career and the fact that he lacks one of the skills a pro footballer needs which is how to control and keep the ball.

we need to stop making excuses for our goalkeepers,none of the 3 of them would or should be anwhere near championship teams.

8 relegated from premier league,8 promoted from the championship that would keep the premier league on their toes.

how the uck did he get an england cap,he wont get another thats for sure

ive said this before,if its on target then its nearly always a goal or maybe hes just unlucky or maybe hes just shocking.

you only need look at downes face when he was subbed off,it said why the uck am i the one coming off,west ham saw through him and now we are,cant all be wrong.

we move the ball so slowly teams can organise against us,neither downes or charles move the ball quickly forward,quite happy to play safe back and sideways.Other than not playing stupid passes in our own 6 yard box i see little change from last years tactics.

if its on target theres a fair chance its a goal as bazuna doesnt save many at all,its not his fault hes just not very good.

how long will it be before they start fixing the fa cup draw?

came in the post this morning,see they can do it.

now im not bazuna and stephens greatest fan but the bile thats written about them every week verges on insanity.Fact is they were amongst our better players yesterday,so lets please comment on fact and not hate against the same old targets.

the commentators are so bad,spannish girl tried a volley,commentator said what a superb effort,it went 20 yards wide of the goal.

cracking idea

i dont think saints have much choice in this as players on the move use the whole window to see where the best offer pops up,its ludicrous that the seasons a month old and the window is still open,its just skys deadline day play thing.

have a feeling still doesnt suffer fools gladly and will be ruthless

Toby A by a country mile,a classy player that we allowed to slip through our fingers via our own stupidity.

For me lallana still leaves a bad smell about the place,isnt his son still about the place,maybe saints think he will be decent player and thats part of the thinking.

honours are dished out to all and sundry,so devalued they might as well be got rid of.Dont sports people already get recognised by there own associations anyway.

those middling teams like bournemouth,brentford ect will always have to sell there better players to bigger clubs and will have to recruit new players,when this goes wrong you struggle and are stuck with deadwood on loads of money that you cant sell,sound familiar.
