Gloucester Saint

I don’t know, today has shown that with the RM funeral shackles removed, these players can compete effectively. And the press have been very critical of the two goals conceded and spells wasted passed around the back, whilst praising the more proactive moment. The fans have been great today in supporting the players and barracking Russball.

Pressure building up on Martin and his methods from fans, media and the positive moments today which have been contrary to his wishes. Their first goal however was very much on him and McCarthy.

The players should have the answer from their first goal and both of ours, but the manager isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

Crowd need to give this renewed bout of playing around the back the bird again. It helped earlier with the cheers for Alex’s long kick and need to drive the players in a forwards direction here or it’s a long last 15.

He’s a stop it/catch it/kick it long goalkeeper. When he does that he’s fine. He’s got sucked in by all the Russell bullshit and started thinking he needs to be a sweeper keeper.

Referee watching a different game to us.

Looked nicely played in to me. Did exactly what it needed to for Fernandes to step onto it.

Charlie Taylor and I’d agree with you

A feel of the rapid counter-attack winner v Everton, but AA assisting for Fernandes this time. These players are better at a quicker tempo. Reminded me of a goal from the early Ralph period.

No wonder RM looks grumpy

Les’s first touch is worse than Carlton Palmer’s - he can mis-control further and harder than AA can shoot it.

Which we’ve not had for so long, probably Che in 21/22.

As someone who grew up with Danny Wallace and Steve Moran as football heroes before MLT emerged, darting and direct is always good to watch (and effective).

Hope he passes some feedback onto Taylor ‘ignore that manager son, he’s full of shit’.

Bit early to be starting on the booze.

Good guts from the fans giving it plenty after that idiotic goal we gave them via Russball. Woke the players up a bit. If they start Russballing again, give them some clog and slow handclap. Need to help the players over-ride a manager out of his depth and compete the points again second half.

Taylor for Fraser 100%, 200 plus PL games as a LB and he puts a winger there.

Criminally mis-used and handled by the club. Better to have an empty philosophy leaving you rooted to the bottom of the league instead of competing. Pleased for him that despite Martin and Rasmus that he’s showing what he can do. Topping it off with a goal would give both him and us some considerable cheer.

Knowledgable is Prutts and passionate about the club. Not someone who will be fooled by RM’s propaganda unlike the generalist tabloid writers who haven’t played at any level.

They all count and given AA’s top flight record he’ll take any scraps he can get.

Arma bags himself a rare PL goal. Pen itself a shocker but kept his composure for the rebound.

He’ll be too busy picking the team and organising training during December.

If Bazanu would be ahead of Alex, or any keeper from the top two divisions, it’s time to pull the shutters down at the club.

Need to play the ball over the press on the counter, manager might curl his lip as if someone has shat on the dressing room floor but need to mix it up.

He’s found George’s old whisky bottle at Staplewood and had a good long swig.
