Bingo! Ive got a double my money bet on the time you post a pic of your ugly dog. Fancy having a problem with someone else on a football forum having an opinion on a player.

Not Bragg, please no! We’ve suffered enough. Anyone else think Jelert and Quarsie are being treated pretty badly? Tonda likes to rotate and even garbage level dross like Archer gets a look in. Why not give those guys minutes?

Still fuming about it. 2nd in the league fighting for automatics and they lose to that shower. Dropped 2 places out of the automatics because of it. Them and Leicester going down would be arguably as sweet as us getting promoted.

Bloody incensed Boro let those skate fucks win. It’s not like they don’t have a lot to play for and to lose to that lot at home is unacceptable. Really could have been the start of confirming their regulation. Infuriating!

Playing with Fellows is like playing with 10 men. How can you have a player in the front attacking 3 who is never likely to score? Should be behind Matsuki in the pecking order. Need to get rid at the end of the season regardless of what league we are in. Waste of a shirt.

Had about 10 posters put laughing emojis next to my post saying Bragg shouldn’t be playing ahead of Charles. He looks competent because he doesn’t do anything other than pass the ball sideways. So many poor footballers hide thanks to doing nothing remarkable so fans think oh must have had a good game, didn’t see him. Just like when a surprisingly large group of fans thought Bazunu was competent because he rarely got tested in Martin’s propaganda possession football. You all can bookmark my posts for a year’s time when the penny has dropped that Bragg is actually pretty poor at this level and was only getting a game because he brought an apple in for Tonda when they were in the u21s.

Hope some of you are ok with Shea Charles playing ahead of Cameron Blagg.

Average Joe in league 1 if he reaches his ceiling. Charles came on and scored the winner. Still waiting for apologies from a number of posters who laughed at me saying Charles should be playing ahead of him. As if anyone needs to point that out. Bragg is basically the new Bazunu. The penny takes longer to drop for some of you.

Charles!!! What did I say?! Put that in your pipe and smoke it you morons!!

I’ve counted him giving the ball away at least 5 times. If the guy wasn’t young and from this country he’d be getting called out by fans and the commentators. Let me put it this way, is there another club in the land that would be playing him ahead of Charles? Can anyone genuinely say they would do that? Charles has the potential of playing for a big club one day. Bragg will be lucky to be playing in league 1. Simple facts.

If we lose this game it’s because of Bragg. Completely out of his depth. Should never be starting ahead of Charles. Tonda has a real blindspot with Bragg.

Forecast has to be an early April fools surely? There is no way even this tinpot club would think that’s acceptable? Also that dumb kitman?? Embarrassing from the club this and total disrespect to FA cup winning players. They always find a way to ruin things.

Is and probably always will be that Boufal goal against West Brom. Can’t see how it will ever be beaten. Dribbling around pretty much a whole team is infinitely more impressive than sticking one in from 30 yards.

Tickets for Arsenal fans: £25 Tickets for Saints fans: £35 I know some will say well away fans have to travel but that’s just not acceptable in my opinion.

Scored another goal at the weekend and the weekend before 2 more. Now on 21 goals in 23 league games in a top league in Europe. Meanwhile we have a thread on Dom Ballard and how we shouldn’t have sold him. Don’t get me wrong, I liked Ballard and would have kept him but he wouldn’t have done the business in the champ. Just would have preferred him as an option over Archer. This for me sums up Saints fans perfectly. No active thread about a player that was actually decent and we shouldn’t have sold but a thread about someone doing alright at a lower level than we hopefully will ever have to play at. There is literally no logic here.

Nearly getting back to a fully fit squad. Who drops out of the Coventry matchday squad for Scienza, Stewart, Wellington? I draw the line at Jay Robinson getting back in but what if he’s considered? Of course you would hope that useless oath Archer would drop out but can’t see it unfortunately.

Aren’t you forgetting Cameron Archer? 😆

So you think it’s a good idea to have two pretty ineffective CMs on the bench and no wingbacks? One is old and his legs have gone and the other is new to the men’s game. Maybe have one on the bench but both? What if Bree had to go off then? Who’s playing wingback? These are the sort of decisions that show Eckart is too inexperienced to get us across the line. The teams above us are not going to give us many chances to catch them. This will be a huge missed opportunity if we lose this and you can’t blame Still for it.

Sorry but why the fuck are Romeu and Bragg both on the bench? Both nothing players which you only throw on if we are winning by a few goals. We are trying to chase promotion you idiot Eckart! Why the passengers in an obvious banana skin?? No wingbacks on the bench is ridiculous. Where is Jelert?

Credit where it’s due he managed a good game against prem competition today. Admittedly Fulham were missing their best players and were poor but we still played like a unit and created lots of chances. I still wouldn’t want him as our manager in the prem as experience and a pull factor for players is required but it’s getting harder to call him a PE teacher now.

Of course but we are not bigging up him scoring 10 goals or something or in a definitely lower league. He's scored 18 goals in 21 league games which is nearly a goal every game in a top league featuring players that play or have played in the champions league. He has more goals in the league than top strikers like Icardi (13), Asensio (11), Osimhen (11), Abraham (7), En-nesyri (7), Sane (6) etc. Some of these have played for the biggest teams in Europe and are still linked to big moves. Saints fans have a real inherent problem with the way they treat genuinely proven talented footballers just because we misused them here. The elaborate theories people have to make something fit a certain narrative is wild. For example, some people on here are saying we should have kept Ballard because he’s scored 16 goals in league 1. Yet Onuachu wouldn’t be good in the champ? Our form has clearly improved since we started playing a big guy up front.

People were saying the same thing about Martin in our last promotion run. He was the messiah, that long unbeaten run, moments of free flowing football etc but then went on to arguably show himself to be one of the most delusional and out of his depth managers in the history of the premier league. He couldn’t even get Rangers winning in a 2 team league. Winning is easy when you hold most the cards. I don’t want to be a downer or pick on Eckart, but if people can’t see the parallels between his position and Martin then it explains why it’s been Groundhog Day at this club since Koeman. Our squad is easily in the conversation as being the best squad in the league so winning nearly every game is the bare minimum. Yes he’s made some of the simple decisions that for some reason have been difficult to make at the club like doing 4 at the back, ditching the worst keeper in the whole of Europe, having a target man etc, but when the playing field is more level or worse we are an underdog like we will be in the prem, do you want Eckart on the touchline? History is repeating itself and we will be bottom of the prem with a few points but won’t put him out of his misery until Jan by which time only someone desperate will take the job with little time to do anything about us flirting with that 11 point Derby total. We had our best period in recent memory under Koeman because he’s Koeman. He has experience, pedigree and gravitas. Better players were attracted to the club and the whole standards increased. Maybe some of you can’t see it but we are on a hiding to nothing with Eckart. Just an impending dose of Deja vu.

Now on a scarcely believable 18 goals in 21 league games. We would be top 2 right now with him and Peretz.

Unfortunately, I can’t see the huge wave Wrexham have been surfing since deadpool got involved not carrying them to the prem. they have fought back from losing positions to win a number of games this season showing they have heart. When the inevitable happens and we finish outside the playoffs, I’m sure most will point to Will Still’s stint as the issue. Of course in an ideal world that gamble would never have been taken, and I was against his appointment from the start. However, what’s worse than gambling once on your manager choice? Doing it a second time(!). If we had got in an old experienced manager instead of cone man we almost certainly would be in the playoffs now. If you look at the teams that made that obvious decision, they have the likes of Phil Parkinson, Frank Lampard, Kieran McKenna, Alex Neil etc. Whilst not directly Eckart’s fault, his appointing will be the reason we don’t get promoted to the premier league.

Looks like I’ve been proved right again. Should be starting for us from now on.
