Billy Sharp 12/1 Come on guys! We know what our defence is like!

IT’S TOOONDDAAA TIIIMMEEEE!

Just seen Tonda get off the phone, presumably to Rasmus, just noticed five defenders warming up to come on and hold onto this lead.

Struggling to get excited, maybe we just found out level

Haha baffled! I’m sure he’ll revert to seven at the back for the next one

Is it four or five at the back?

This seems the most likely. It’s just self-sabotage now

His next plan will be to play hobbit Elias Jelert at CB 😂 Cunning plan

Saints could learn a lot from them

I’d rather have JWP here than Downes. Jander will move onto bigger things in the near future.

2-1 win. Largely strong (in theory) starting eleven, Scienza to play 80 minutes before pulling his groin or hamstring. Up the Saints. Up the sideways passing! UP THE FIVE AT THE BACK!

James Ward-Prowse would be excellent to have back. He’d do well at this level, although he probably knows enough about Sports Republic and the inner workings of the club now to know what a poisoned chalice it is.

Is there anywhere you can watch the game today? Because if there is I might pop out instead

The sale of Ronnie Edward’s signals another classic Sport Republic signing. How many have joined and left the club (or have been loaned out) since SR took over? Onuachu, Edwards, Orsic, Ramsdale, Bree, Sulemana, Edozie, Downs, Bazunu, Lavia, Larios…. There is some wasted money there.

He was not brought in to make some small change profit in SR terms. He was brought in having been heavily scouted with a lot of potential. One of their many poor transfers over the years.

Another Sport Republic disasterclass. #TheSportRepublicWay

Tella was an academy product. Livramento was pre-Sport Republic. In the grand scheme of things there is hardly any that they have bought and sold on for profit. So much for their “business model” whilst sustaining us as a Premier League team. 🙄

How many have there been tha Sport Republic have bought and sold on for profit? Romeo Lavia Kamaldeen Sulemana - somehow, and only just! That’s it isn’t it. Now time to name the players that have been bought by Sport Republic and since sold at a loss or loaned out. The list is significantly bigger.

We aren’t recouping the money we paid for him. Then again I said the same about Sulemana, but at least he could occasionally use his feet, unlike Bazunu the goalkeeper who’s never been able to use his hands.

Aribo and Edozie will either be seeing out their contracts or they’ll be loaned out/shifted for a fee. The comments are interesting from Tonda “I think that’s a question for Johannes Spors”. Everything that is wrong with modern football. Someone builds a squad and they chuck any old guy to “coach them”.

Picking up a monumental wage for any human his age to do fuck all 😀

I think there needs to be an element of realism. Flynn Downes won’t be moving on until the summer. Sam Edozie and Joe Aribo I think will leave but only on a free or on a loan. Aside from that I don’t envision a lot more movement.

He hasn’t been great when he’s played this season by any means, but he is a CB by nature. Ridiculous getting him to play that weird wing back role.

Flynn Downes is excellent at passing backwards and sideways

If this is a cup kit we 100% get knocked out against Doncaster. The greatest business venture since giving Jack Stephens a new contract and signing Damion Downs.
