Found myself asking would Bazunu save that with the Sulemana/Smallbone chances today. I think the answer is no.

Just seen their goal back. Why is Bazunu that far off his line?

That miss from Smallbone BTW, pathetic. If he keeps it on the ground its 2-0, he's put it the one place the keeper has a chance of saving it.

He's painfully out of his depth. We've had one good 45 minutes under him in 11 games. His subs killed us today.

FT. Martin OUT.

Ryan Fraser is fucking shite. What a dreadful signing.

Subs killed us here. RM OUT.

2nd half delayed by 10 mins due to the medical incident.

Hope the person in the Itchen South is OK. We've missed some right sitters today. Hope it doesn't bite us in the backside.

Ugly win. Stoke very unlucky not to get a penalty.

Hopefully we step it up in the second half as that was a pretty poor performance imo. We created nothing from open play. Fair play to Stu, great free kick!

I thought it was good in the first half and it was nice to hear the boos at HT come from the away end for a change but it was poor in the second half imo. Itchen North seemed to be doing their bit but the Northam was poor. You could feel the nerves.

Really good first half performance and a deserved win overall.

We're going to blow this.

Don't you dare fuck this up.

Once again, that midfield 3 is woeful and will get torn a new one defensively.

Be a fair few Leeds fans in the home end imo.

3-1 Leeds.

Martin on Alcaraz: “Charley is a young man and doesn’t speak English very well, if at all. There are things he knows he needs to do better. It’s about who you trust at this moment. Your all in with this side or not.” Martin on Alcaraz continued: “It’s a hard time for him. He’s lost two of his best friends - Caballero and Lyanco who spoke the language, he’s miles away from home, he’s had some difficult news about his Dad. Now is not the right time for him.” #Saintsfc

Martin: “We came out in the second half and had total control, we reacted really well. And then we give the goal away, Middlesbrough had nothing in the second half.” #saintsfc [bbc] Let's ignored about the breakaway chances they had, one where Bazunu saved and another where they hit the post. Their keeper had one basic save to make the entire game. This guy is an absolute clown.

11 points off the autos already. Grim.

So, what happened to his replacement that Martin seemed so sure about getting?

Want him gone but the clowns running the show can't be trusted after three awful appointments so far.

We won't go down this season but we're far more likely to find ourselves in League One than the PL under these owners in the future.

Another woeful transfer window from the owners. Holgate, Fraser, Downes, Manning all crap. No Tella replacement and a striker who isn't fit to play for god knows how long.
