Gloucester Saint

That’s a very appropriate adjective for when he has been on the pitch as well, bar the two air shots v Wrexham and Northampton. Can he kick it? No, it would it seem not.

Hope they’ve at least got some decent craft options in from local breweries in the concourses if they’re going to keeping serving up Rasmus/Martinball on the pitch?

If he’d been hired by owners other than SR he’d be given more of a chance, and also the hideous style has returned of late. Even Bally would have been seriously questioned if the 1994 squad had returned to playing like Branfoot’s dreaded reign after a few games. It just smacks of a dictated style by Rasmus.

It’s so boring to watch as well. I was a regular as a teenage through the Branfoot years but even that agricultural stuff was better to watch (sometimes anyway!) than this crab style. Had to stop watching and do something else after 65 minutes on Saturday as I was so bored of watching it passed tediously and slowly in front of a low block from Coventry. Rinse and repeat from the Norwich game. Nobody bar Leo tried to take anyone on to create space or pass and move faster to draw them out and it wasn’t going to change. At least I got some stuff done in the house and went straight out to do something nicer. If I can get away with it I’ll watch Cheltenham v Shrewsbury instead with Steve Cotterill getting them going, shows you what a proper adult manager can do. Steve would never let the likes of Rasmus tell him what to do. If my family haven’t headed back by that stage they might insist on watching the Saints game though.

His movement to escape the alleged accident is quicker than anything he’s produced on the pitch all season. I never thought that I would see worse outfield players in a first team Saints line up than Ali Dia or Lee Todd but SR love breaking a record.

This tells you everything you need to know about SR and Saints in general since 2017. #shitfor9yearsnow

Simply not fit enough for the physical and mental intensity of the Ashes. Playing golf is a good rest day activity but not the main preparation. I don’t think it will be 5-0 this time as the Bazball bottlejobs will turn up for one of the last two Tests but the bullshit has been well and truly seen through.

Give SR their due, they’ve really completed the job Gao started by making me not give any sort of toss about how Saints do and spend my time and money on other things. Good on the fans if they were giving some out, so would I if I’d paid good money to watch coward’s football. I got so bored after 65 minutes yesterday that I did the hoovering and went to a garden centre and food hall towards Dursley, both of which were far more entertaining than watching yet more Rasmus/Martin-ball against 10 men.

Went with his arm but not dangerously.

Gone 🎣

Need to introduce him to Cheltenham’s owner Mike Garlick.

Difficult to save, Wood timed his leap and got a powerful connection down on it with accuracy.

He’s petrified of disobeying Rasmus. What does he do to the managers?

Rabbit in the headlights, if I was Lallana I’d be telling Fellows to warm up and prepare to change shape straight away, Lampard’s made his changes and been proactive.

Definite red card, could’ve broken Wellington’s leg. FFS get Fellows on. Rip up the Rasmus playbook and ditch 5ATB, show some cojones.

Except when the all you can eat Christmas buffet is on, Joe is always first to that.

Wellington as well. Manning has been a liability all half.

Don’t like booing our own players but he deserves to be today. Like he’s had four pints at the Xmas market before kick off.

Terrible from Manning, this is like a collage of the worst bits of early Benali defensively but who is picking the free striker up six yards out? No pressure whatsoever on the cross coming in, just pick your spot. And again nearly, between a cross and a shot that time. Pathetic. Three centre backs and their striker gets a free header six yards out. Dopey cunts.

Coventry’s struggling with the long throw and get away with it.

At least it wasn’t in full public view.

Good save, at a height he should be saving, but decent nonetheless. Absolute shambles on the corner glued to his line. Very lucky to be 0-0.

Lampard still moaning about the shoulder to shoulder.

Wright never in control of it either.
