Someone needs to bring a huge banner with these words on it, for the lols

The difference between that team then, and this team now, is on par with the difference in sex appeal between Rachel Riley and Susan Boyle. spoiler - 2025 saints aren’t Rachel Riley

Yet another game where we haven’t scored under rusk. Pathetic lack of intent. Just goes into games trying to keep the score down. He’ll be very pleased with today you wait . “Lots of endeavour, lots of effort” fuck off. We didn’t attempt even have an attacking plan or formation until the final 25 minutes

I’m sure the boys will get a hearty ovation from the fans for their efforts at the end though.

Shame they can’t bring the chairman on, he’d probably rise above stephens and THB to nod one home at the end too

Great to see the lads really going toe to toe with them here and making them work for their final swansong. Fucking cunts

Let’s be honest, the vast majority of us thought we’d lose today, and fairly comfortably, but to just come here as sitting ducks and just be there for the taking with zero effort or care just sums this lot up. The low standards currently at this club are fucking sickening. Clearly the players think it’s job done for the season now after getting that point last week, so they can return to be as shit and putting in as little effort and desire as possible now for the remaining 2 games. That first half is worse than any league 2 side would’ve produced in this game. Absolute insult yet again to the travelling fans

And this is my point. We lose anyway, I’m not saying go gung ho but surely there’s a balance whereby we can set up to sit deep and counter a little bit surely and have our own attacking plan at certain opportunities during games, instead of just meekly hanging on for dear life every game and accepting narrow defeats when we inevitably concede, with no idea of how we’re going to score ourselves. It’s a total waste of time and terrible viewing. If we were capable defensively of getting 0-0 draws I’d be all for it - but we’re not. The results to date prove that Let’s be honest at half time how many of us expected the score to finish 2-0 or 3-0, or more. Probably the vast majority. That tells you everything you need to know about our lack of attacking intent

I’d agree we are fucking shit, but combine that with also no coherent plan or strategy to get results, and clueless management, this makes us REALLY fucking shit

Rusk’s “tactics” seem to be limited solely to keeping the score down in every game. The lack of ambition in games is ridiculous. Is this what it’s come to? Yeah we are a poor side but so are Ipswich , and they have a go every game and have a lot of shots, and show intent. We show absolutely fuck all intent game after game and that’s most excruciating thing

Laughable. These last 3 games were the big chance to get past 11 points, but as usual we showed zero fight or urgency, or belief, bravery, you name it. Just meek acceptance of defeat as per usual this season. It’s a bloody insult to the fans who travel every week to be served up utter shite like that against a side who’ve lost their last 9 home games without scoring. Clearly ending on 11 points is absolutely fine for this lot, judging by the way they played today. This guy goes into games hoping for a 0-0 draw, with the worst defence in the league, so parks 5 players at the back , tells them to keep their shape and not venture forward too much, and hopes for the best. An absolutely pathetic shambolic club right now. The only question remaining is how heavily we will lose these final 3 games, bearing in mind we have City, everton and arsenal remaining.

That’s good news per se, but it will require almost the entire current squad to be sold , as none of our current players have any of those attributes

Yet another laughably woeful appointment by Sport Republic, I mean who’d have thought appointing a CEO with zero football background may well prove to be a disaster. This clown should go back to focussing on manufacturing and selling hoovers, he’s sure hoovered up any last hope this clubs had whilst these idiots hold the keys to the fort.

Does MLG actually have his own opinions or is his contribution to this forum purely just to get into everyone’s skin, trying to be a smart arse, being pedantic at every turn, never admitting he’s wrong and going to extreme lengths to use technicalities if needed, to do so. All I ever see infecting this forum like a plague is this guy going out of his way to gaslight most posters, and make no contribution of his own other than to endlessly try to discredit anything other posters say, unless of course it’s something positive about the club. Amazed this guy is still allowed to post.

Gotta love the “he’s going regardless so let’s pretend we don’t want him anymore” stance. Dont worry our fans do it too but surely you’re happy with how he’s done over the season, no? You’d have taken mid table this season surely bearing in the mind the mess he inherited last season?

So, here’s an interesting stat. When Leicester won 3-2 at St Mary’s, that put them onto 9 points from 8 games. We had 1 point. Since then we’ve won 9 points and they’ve only won 8. So in reality they’re even worse than us

“Experienced within the world of Elite professional sports” 😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why don’t you stop trying to be such a fucking patronising smart arse all the time, it’s tiring. You’re one of the biggest attention seekers I’ve ever seen , always looking to play devils advocate and ask questions you fucking full well know the answers to. The fact you don’t even appear to be that bothered about the shit show that’s happened on SR’s watch says it all, you’re just on here to disagree with everyone because you’re oh so much smarter than everyone else and one step ahead of the common fan aren’t you? Give it a fucking rest, your presence here actually ruins the forum at times and just drags most topics into back and forth tit for tat needling.

Minus 69 I think, F20 A89. id back us to get a worse GD than that, we are already minus 49, so 8 games left to get less than a negative 20 GD. With city and Arsenal still to play, plus villa, it’s looking grim.

Exactly this. We get people like MLG insisting that we should wait and see how Spors gets on before giving SR any grief. Fuck that, I’ve seen enough to know how this will go. 3 years of some of the worst running of a football club anywhere in Europe, with over 90% of decisions a complete disaster. They can fuck right off. They’d be getting absolutely run out of town at most other clubs by now. They’re very lucky we are such a passive fanbase on the whole but I think even our fanbase is on the verge of collectively giving them both barrels now

Exactly. Another absolutely fucking pathetic half arsed signing from these chumps who we have the misfortune of calling our owners. If there’s literally one type of player we DIDNT need, it was a powderpuff , physically weak, passing midfielder with a tidy touch and fuck all else. What the fuck is wrong with this lot at the helm?

What a shock there is zero fight, pride or leadership among this joke of a squad when the geniuses at the top rolled into the club and thought signing a bucket load of academy players and cheap young bargain basement players was going to be the master plan, when the squad under Ralph was already crying out for more grit and leadership in the first place. They’ve continued upon this delusion, completely neglecting the need to sign anyone with a tough mentality who will refuse to let standards drop. Another string to the bow of the absolute dog turd that is Sport Republic.

I truly hope we don’t see most of these shithouses playing for us next season, they’re a bloody disgrace to the city

What is it with this club and managers constantly playing players woefully out of position? It’s almost like they’re taking the piss out of us to see how bad they can make us, fucking sick of this inept shit. All we want to see is an element of competitiveness, players in their correct sodding positions,doing the basics even half right, and players busting a gut even if they lack quality. But this shit show of a club can’t even provide the fans with that, and it’s an absolute fucking disgrace. In short, You couldn’t fuck this club up more if you tried!
