Saints strikers will be on fire 🔥 today Saints 7-0

We need to break more records, how about 7 cbs

Its a big reality check to many of tge players both with the standard of play so far, the expected top 2 finishing then was 6th place, now mid table with any further draws/loss means players have to battle to avoid drop. Not playing for manager or for the team due to under performance would be difficult for Still to manage. Also how are players going to get a transfer to another better club deliberately playing crap. I think its more the case that players are not as good as thier social media clips or CV had us belive. If Still left then players would need to step up under caretaker manager for several weeks. Need to see a 200% improvement v Preston.

Baz lost marker and ran into space very well. Which player are not good at doing due to pre programmed football. There needs to be more old school basic football tactics and skills implemented on Saturday. Have we got anyone who can header the ball apart from Baz ?

There was a lot of horse shoe football yesturday atthe Saints U21 v Real Madrid U21 game. Real did the side to side nonsense 5 times in row before losing the ball. So even at U21 level the players are still being coached no different them when RM was at Saints. And tgd game was like 1st team some great play but large chunks of the game very boring.

Great last minute header ar corner by Bazunu, keeper great save and Saints equalised v Real Madrid. Maybe put Bazunu up front v Preston as our best header of ball.

Eventually found the FA Pro coaching manual. Its all clear now, the back are the defence and keeper. The draw runners are the wingers. Midfield the draw base and the fronts the strikers. Just visualise this diagram during tge Preston game and Saints tactics become clear. Saints use draw-base-runner-runner-front formation. Saints 5-2 Preston England are using the Pro plus coaching which utilises a wardrobe and mirror.

Agree, looks like a case of what the hell have I signed up to. Its a trend in football now.

Got my ticket 9.30am , looks like sold out was about 319 green dots

Players have been programmed to follow analytics tactics. There is no creativity or spark in Saints football. Its so predictable and slow that players can't adapt to any situation. Even taking corners or throw in are wasted. The closer we get to leaque 1 the better chance fans have of enjoying a match and watching Saints compete. I blame the agents first for hyping up the price of players, this will be sorted in Leaque 1. Next data football, utter nonsense and anything to stop managers and coaches applying this to Saints I'll be happy with. I don't see it in non league step 1 and 4. Owners, well I can't see any footballing Owners getting involved with Saints it all investment as its a product. We don't have rich Saints fans or big business owners at club. So stuck with a roundabout of Owners who probably would struggle to understand the off side rule let alone why we paid £40m for players when £3m would do.

Just got Charlton away tickets so Saints will have either worked out how to play basic 4-4-2 football and gained 7 points or I will be watching the new manager or not manager.

No interviews is a start in the right direction. Stop talking and just get on with training, running forwards and kicking ball out of danger would be a good start.

Its complete nonsense and misleading. We have lost to teams with lower xG. Also we cant defend goals going in so that cancells Saints better xG. Can't stop goals going in at acute angles is another stat coaches are not tracking. Saints spend days analysing data, talking Latin in press conference and each week teams just run through our midfield and defence and score with little effort. The coaches need to chuck thier laptops in the bin Monday and try playing football as if we don't win Sat the only stat that counts will be 21st

Suddenly realised its the same route our forwards take towards the goal, no-one wonder we're slow attacking

How can the players play better and as a team? Its a mystery why we cant find managers to get all the players performing to thier level on paper. I don't think we have a good squad, 6th at best even if we started to work a a unit. The team is too unbalanced with experience and skill, decision making on the ball differing wildly. If the owners keep buying new players then that must be a good thing, just the players are not that good are over priced. Saints need some fluke to get 3 or 4 players in who can play at championship 6th place level. I think everyone, the club, players, fans have underestimate how good other teams are and Saints are the team everyone ticks off as a definite win.

Who actually owns Saints? What percentage of shares? How much was thd club brought for? If the owners are taking £5m season for thier investment then not going to go. Didn't Lowe pay himself £1m

Only option is either get up top 6 in table and then look at all players and get proper footballing stuff in to decide on players. That's very unlikely. Option 2 get relegated and owners sell up. Completely re do the squad and stop paying £7m, £10m, £17m for players

Could br saving getting injured before transfer window in Jan. Lots of player need to avoid playing if agents calling.

I'm surprised they managed to employ the correct person to mark a football pitch out and not a tennis court. Perhaps they think Saints is an American Football team.

The investors must have got thier investment back with all the skip load of cash that's rolled in from ticket sales, player sales, prem money, tv money, parachute money. Accounts, consultants, investors only hang around for more money so the football is secondary to making profit. I cant see much footballing decisions being made. We need football investors , people wuth football knowledge, experience and who want success for the club and players not the corporate brand, the club badge is more important.

I thought draw but then is it possible the players are 'not' playing. How can apparent good players play so badly. So Saints 0-2 Preston. I can see more injuries and illness before Sat. I'm not interested in goals expected its actual goal that count and we cant score enough goals when needed. Teams that don't score enough goals get relegated its simple reality. Add in no midfield and no defence, cant win headers in box, cant tackle enough, too slow, no urgency and that means cant compete. Add in no announcement so maybe the goalkeeper will be subbed off and the striker put in goal, I don't think the players know the tactics. I certainly don't. Let's hope fans leave early then I can grt through that stupid small footbridge at Northam. Who was the idiot that approved such a tiny foot bridge for 12k fans to exit the ground.

we could be on 14 or 15 points by then. I don't think I can stay awake that long.

No, refunds please

I'm getting bored waiting, its like the football why is it taking so long.
