  1. Greed has caused this situation. And I’m sorry to say but the greed starts with Solak.
  2. THB was a part of 2022-23 Burnley, not that it means much now.
  3. +1 on this. Easy to focus on the guy we see on the touch line but helping him with the day to day is - Paul Trollope, most recently seen getting Luton relegated back-to-back - Lallana (in his FIRST EVER coaching role) seemingly hired because he played for us 20 years ago - Carl Martin who has overseen two woeful relegations with Saints and kept his job throughout And that's not even getting into the guys upstairs or the kid analysts on work experience. There is a rot and it is caused by mediocrity permeating the club on every level.

    Said silverware being the League One playoff trophy.
  5. Our fanbase is one of the worst in football.
  6. You can't just win - Russell Martin

    He often makes substitutions that damage our momentum, and his game management is now actively killing our ability to win. The Scienza → Downs choice today was a strong example of this. One of the best players on the pitch today, replaced early with a serial underperformer. Potentially the rationale was: Stewart was injured → Armstrong can't play as a central striker → Armstrong is the goal scorer and is performing well → Take off Scienza instead, we could try a two-striker system → Archer is more suited to a poacher role than target man → Downs has a superior physical profile, and getting a goal could raise his confidence and allow him to kick on. My belief is that Still overthinks his substitutions, resulting in baffling decisions and unnecessary system changes. He's not good at adapting to the present, and his inability to manage the flow of the game through sensible personnel changes is now a critical weakness. Whatever the reason, he needs to improve his game management because it's killing us. I could just be bullshitting though.
  9. Sport Republic. we are on a year on year decline and they are the only constant

    3 Three games unbeaten
  11. Manning off please. Another ghost of the past that needs to be exorcised
  12. Recall bbd and put him up top
  13. If I was Will I’d go on hunger strike until I got a number 9.
  14. And there it is.
  15. We’ll crack another one in shortly.
  16. Injured again 😂 couldnt make it up
  17. Very nice from Stewart
  18. McCarthy only one of ours still playing
  19. None of the relegated sides going up wouldn’t be surprising.
  20. He's not getting selected for the World Cup whilst playing in the Championship. If Pope gets injured and he gets a run in the side, he has every chance of being in the mix.

    The unbeaten run was a decent achievement but what prevented us from getting automatics was losing to promotion rivals. He should’ve been sacked in the summer anyway, but it would have taken guts that SR didn’t have
  22. Knowing SR, he’ll be next season or the season after’s “experienced lad to hang around the building” following Walcott and Lallana.
  23. GK required
  24. Another must win to build some confidence in the team really.
  25. On the same points Martin was on after 8 games now.
