Gloucester Saint

Dave Phillips is correct - you could argue Archer’s first came back at him quickly but the other two are absolute sitters and unprofessional not to convert them. Need to look at Bamford or another free option.

Not unlucky at all - unprofessional to not hit the target from there.

Missed an open goal. Says it all.

Don’t think it has been this game. The strikers are yard off where rebounds are and AA especially cannot strike the ball cleanly.

Might have tossed a coin whether Archer or AA coming both, both dreadful.

Jeffrey Archer would have made more impact on the game than Cameron.

Setting their stool out.

Ross Stewart risk but may have to take that risk with the stupid ramble taken on Downs.

Got a feeling there will be a single goal, but lot less obvious where it comes from than first half.

AA another pathetic shot, but flag already up. What free agent striker options are there? These two aren’t the answer and Downs is barely Wessex League.

DOGE = cuts huge sums from the NIH budget and cancer science research as well as a whole host of clinical trials stopped for other serious illnesses. Trump doles that money back out to a failing Argentinian President with weird hair - 20bn to a rapidly tanking economy. America First. Allegedly. Populists are a fucking joke. Except the punchline is never funny. Farage is also a fan of the Argentinian PM. Economics as accurate as ever then….

Does the fat bear shit in the woods?

If true, weird stuff as he did well at Liverpool and hardly seen since. Still doesn’t seem to like the look of him at all.

Cheltenham Town took Saints’s place today conceding a 95th minute goal at Gillingham. Still a creditable point at a strong side at that level and 4 from 6 in Cotterill’s first two games back as manager.

The damning thing about Downs - and Spors - is being up against Agyemang at Pride Park and being only 65% of what Damion cost. Agyemang was raw, like Kenwyne Jones was when he joined, but he still gave our defenders plenty of problems and of course got on the scoresheet. If Downs doesn’t have work rate, energy, ability to compete in the air and batter defenders, he hasn’t got an ounce of technical ability to fall back on. The players clearly do not trust him with or without the ball in games. Astonishing him and Jandar played at the same level last season!

They don’t even need to be fans, it’s just about providing professional and objective scrutiny. Clearly, they are failing to do this. If I had to report on Cheltenham Town or Gloucester Rugby I could do that.

The buffoons will give him a new contract though - no sensible businessperson would but that’s not what these are. Sympathy for Ross but he’s pocketed plenty for few appearances so has had a chance to save up for his family’s future, more so than any of us would get.

This is true, but we were sold to people following the sane flawed strategy - find the next Livramento and flip for profit - with larger spending and even worse results. Trading for surpluses is good but sometimes you have to buy the Craig Dawson or Aaron Ramsdale.

Les Reed was the same.

That goes for the fans as well. They’ll wait until we are 7 points adrift of safety in the Champ next year or the year after to protest and make noise when the horse has bolted and run away over a whole range of hills.

@trousers well done for putting some heat on House and Blackmore. Too friendly with the owners by half. Keith got loads of stick on S4E for going on the pre season in Sweden but at least he wasn’t being paid for it unless those two stooges.

Gao and Semmens hollowed us out and let Ralph down, but they were tidy and until Ings went they actually did at least focus on the spine a bit more. The Livramento deal killed the club because a generation of morons invited another group of morons to buy the club, all of whom thought that every single transfer would involve buying an ECL cast off for a medium fee and selling big. All SR had to do in summer 2022 was buy 3-4 higher quality players - Keeper/CB/MC/Striker through the spine. The back patting over the VVD, Ings and Lavia fees received astonished me because you knew they were spaff it up the wall on loads of crap.

It is but as @Midfield_General said, it was very, very, likely to happen. The planning should have been for Ross to be a David Connolly cameo role as was the case in 11/12. Instead, pushed him too hard over a week and inevitably his body broke. Lack of football expertise and experience yet again, sort out the keeper, CBs, and striker (I accept Jandar and Charles helped the middle). And failed yet again. Better hope McCarthy doesn’t get injured as well, then a poor season could turn into Luton Mk2.

What a sad pair, every single post is about politics. The inverse of Owen Jones and that equal bunch of knobs on the other side. Human parrots, assuming they are actually people and not bots.
