Jesus Christ. I hope everyone involved with this recruitment / scouting has been sacked

He can turn this around. Just needs to stop fucking about with silly formations and trusting the old players so much. Play our best players in their best positions. I respect his loyalty to the players that got us up; but unfortunately he has to drop those players. Arma/Smallbone are going to have to do it from the subs bench now imo and earn their way back in. They have looked well off it at this level (which a lot of us suspected the would.) I still think smallbone can adapt to be a good player up here but right now we can’t rely on him as a starter. Downes/Lesley/Fernandes should be given a run of games. That looks like a proper premier league midfield to me.

Ramsdale Sugawara Bednarek ABK KWP Downes Les Dibling Fernandes Cornet Archer I think this is our best 11 now the window is over. I hope we see something close to it soon. Instead of martins square pegs in round holes.

Dunno what all the fucking moaning is about Goal to pass ratio of 1:1,784 Top of the league for most passes per game. This is cinema

For fuck sake Russ What the fuck is that line up. Does he want us to lose?!

Fucking well done saints. Unbelievable. We finally have a goalkeeper. Amazing amazing amazing work.

He’s decent if he can stay fit. Happy with that

Agree. We always knew there’s a player there if he can sort his attitude out. Sad to say but I think Edozie needs a loan to league one or champ where he can play every week. Absolutely zero end product again. Hope we can bring in an attacking midfielder and another striker.

Big Joe Lumley the enforcer taking on all comers

Happy to spunk money up the wall on dross like tall paul, Sulemana, Carrillo, etc etc But take ages haggling to buy a genuinely class goalkeeper that would instantly improve us massively. Fucking get it done saints!

I don’t want to see him play for us in this league for a long, long time. Nowhere near PL standard even when fully fit

Our recruitment has been surprisingly shite so far, even by our incredibly low standards

No. He’s pony

Exactly this!! We won’t have many winnable games this season. Forest at home was the first.. instead of being positive and going for it, building on the buzz of promotion..he decided to play the most absurd negative tactics. Forest couldn’t have had an easier game.

I just don’t see that Archer is what we need at all tbh. Seems like a weird signing. We don’t play with a style that plays through balls through to a fast poacher. We never have. We need a target man that can hold it up and bring others into play. Very evident that we have no focal point currently.

I thought it was time for him to go and wished him well.. But fuck me i thought we actually bring a striker in to replace him. I didn’t think we’d go into a premier league season this understaffed in the attacking areas. We are weaker than the championship season. Really poor from the club tbh.

I do feel like it’s opposite of the Carrillo signing… Getting rid of a good player to keep a mediocre manager happy is just as bad as signing players to keep a mediocre manager happy. Add it to the list of crazy decisions - like not playing our 6ft 8 striker when we are desperate for a goal. Or sticking with a keeper for months that has lettuce wrists. Mad decision making all around this club. Fuck knows how we got promoted tbh 😂

We just need to be better than 3 teams. That’s all. Forest will likely be mid table like 14th or something with this squad and manager. If we can beat Ipswich, Leicester and Everton and steal some unexpected points in a few places we can do it. Although tbh id rather go down. PL is so boring as a skint club.

What’s the point ? Offered fuck all.

So 2 of the last 3 strikers we have signed… One never wins One never plays Any stats about Archer we should know? 😂

Would be one of our best signings in recent memory. I’ll be stunned if we can actually pull it off. Fantastic keeper. Hopefully he wants game time instead of bench warming and we can make him feel wanted.

Yeah this is my big worry. I love arma. He was fantastic last season. But we have a large amount of evidence that he’s not quite good enough to replicate his goal scoring in the premier league. Yet we are heavily relying on him again this season as things stand.

Bijlow only needs to be fit for games against the bottom teams. We can rest him against the big six. We can just wheel him in for the six pointers then wheel him back to the medical department for the games we have no chance in anyway. Sorted

Problem is, they don’t use any other body parts either
