Verwood Saint

Want to have rethink now?

Sorry, I saw a fair few of those and the individual quality today is way below in my opinion. Appreciate the conditions are awful too but it’s like kick and rush under 10’s stuff. Simply no composure anywhere.

We are just so bad today at literally every level from team selection on! Obviously take any sort of win but I don’t think I have ever seen a worse level of football in 55+ years.

Not sure I can recall all the options now but Steve Cooper or Sean Dyche would be a couple of examples. Both have loads of experience at both Championship and EPL levels and also know what a well run football club looks like. Appreciate their football 'styles' are not the most attractive but they know how to win matches, get teams promoted and stay in the EPL. I think both would also find ways to give our team a proper backbone again, something we have been missing for a number of seasons. Being an established, stable EPL team again would create the opportunity to attract a more high profile manager and players too. That all looks a long way away now doesn't it!

Hard to disagree with this observation - although no doubt all genuine Saints fans wish him well. For me the real question remains - just why were SR / Dragon prepared to take this level of risk when there were clearly much 'safer' choices available to them, especially given the horrendous failure of the previous season and the inevitable harm done to players, staff and fans. Assuming Will is 'still' in post at Christmas - SR / Dragon must buy a decent centre forward wherever we are in the league!

Thanks for this post - got a ticket for my first away game for ages! Had to give up my season ticket this year after 40+ years due to relocating for family reasons - new grandson - and found myself consistently missing out on away games due to lack of purchasing history. Now some would say it's a blessing to no longer have a season ticket given all the dross we have witnessed, especially lately but once a Saint - always a Saint! COYRs

X 2 We are just so weak!!!!! x 3 - hard to find words for this - Mr Still has one hell of a job on his hands. As has been the case for several seasons - we just have no backbone do we. Whilst we cleared out a fair amount of the 'rubbish' this summer, it's more than obvious too many poor players remain. Oh dear...

X 2 We are just so weak!!!!!

Simply utterly pathetic again!

First game Jan 1967 (birthday treat aged 11) 4-4 draw with Leicester Ron Davies hattrick and one for Martin Chivers - Gordon Banks was in goal for them and Peter Rodrigues was playing full back. Great way to get started eh?!

Any decent streams today?

Is he real that good?

Jeez, this looks like a decent lesson for WS to learn what we all know already about Suga and BB. Ronnie is not doing himself any favours either.

Can we a have a centre forward for the second half please

Watching on Sky - what does Hinchcliffe have against us?
