"Sport Republic confirm lead investor Dragan Šolak has been appointed chairman of Sport Republic and will play a more active role "in overseeing the activities of the group and supporting the leadership of the club."

Embarrassingly poor by Saints. Again.

Worst game I've seen from Lavia.

McCarthy beaten at near post. Normal service.

I'll not miss VAR next season.

Offside by a toenail.

Looks offside.

Theo on fire.

Any reason why Selles shouldn't be sacked this evening?

Yet again Saints giving the impression that they all met each other for the first time in the pub just before lick off.

Saints looking well set to get nil again. Just a question now of how many they'll concede.

Bad miss. Expected Alcarez to scored there.

Really cannot see the point of McCarthy in goal.

It's almost like watching a relegation scrap from a position of safety. In a way I'm glad our bottlers aren't involved. Better for the blood pressure.

I'm guessing that even Pep would get a bit of a roasting on here. After all, just think of the players he'd have to work with. 😇

I am prepared to give Mr Martin a couple of friendlies at least before bemoaning the style of play and calling for his head.

I seem to remember Diallo having an excellent 5 minutes or so when he came on at the end of the game at Bournemouth. Ball stuck to him like glue and he helped Saints to a (not so) valuable 3 points. The moment stands out in the memory because it was so unusual.

Worth putting a tenner on Swansea for at least a play-off place next season. Having a manager pinched by Saints seems to have worked for Luton. 😇

Perraud for me. Knows how to find the net. Stick him up front.

We'll never know what might have happened if Ralph had stayed but his record during 2022 was dreadful. I wonder how close he'd have got to having another 9-0 on his record.

I'd hope that Saints have been speaking to quite a few candidates.

You have to factor in Ralph's results since Saints lost badly 0-4 to Villa earlier in 2022 though. W1 D2 L9 That is an utter disgrace. The relegation writing was on the wall and is why he should have been shown the door in the summer.

Hopefully we'll have a decent Saintsy-style strip by then as well rather than the current one which shouts "I surrender" to opponents.

I wonder whether chatGPT might have come up with better team selections and tactics. Or maybe that's what Selles did.

A captain for the Championship? I wonder whether Jack Stephens might want to give it a go. Trouble is it's a team of bottlers with not much captain material in there so I'm having difficulty coming up with ideas.
