I’m not convinced you couldn’t assemble a somewhat competitive team from our squad, with the right management.

I haven’t listened to it back, but I recall him saying he didn’t come because the leaders didn’t have any clear direction, or something along those lines,

Strange admission, if he’s a good coach, then they must be the problem. …or good coach = good mate

It could be the tea lady, conversely it could be a “strategic” leak by someone of seniority.

The problem, it appears from the outside, is Rasmus, all the other issues you mention lead directly to him.

how ironic

He must be still in the "breaking it" phase, its the only possible explanation.

Are we getting a midweek one, following the Bournemouth debacle and Alfie’s tetchy interview and ensuing Echo article?

So does a member of my extended family, and he's on every register you don't want to be on. Being seen to be giving to charity doesn't neccessrily make you "decent", in fact it could be seen as self aggrandising.

The score line was pretty much as expected, what was unexpected was the team selection, positioning of players and the first half total capitulation.

What’s a bigger job than trying to get a win out of Saints?

He looked on the verge of tears when the camera cut to him a minute ago,

In Glen Hoddle’s brief tenure he would make changes after a few minutes if things weren’t working. The writing was on the wall before the first goal went in and yet nothing perceptible has changed.

It gives me no pleasure to say this, but Martin looks a broken man.

It would be quicker to name the players who are doing ok. Downes, and…..

Dribbling hasn’t the strength to play that role.

Sounds like he's set up for the perfect hattrick tonight!

Absolute euphoria at Wembley. I think most of us just hoped we’d give a slightly better account of ourselves this season.

More importantly, did we win, did Archer, BBD and Nessie all get on the score sheet, has Russ finally shaved his beard, had a buzz cut and joined the US marines? Can it somehow be fixed that I have a large financial windfall in this manifestation?

It was indeed an improvement, but you have to put it into context, it was against Ipswich.

Have to agree, those substitutions significantly weakened us. Aribo and AA are nowhere near premier league quality.

Although Dusic portrays an air of authority, it may surprise some of you that he doesn’t actually get a say in team selection or tactics.,

He did, had a really good game, he has more pace than I realised.

Whoooo!
