What's the problem with Manning? He was signed for the championship? I think he's actually been pretty decent this season at times. Fraser? Wasn't he on a free? Got Prem experience, might not have worked out but you can see why we kept him on a cheap deal. Wood? £3m? Don't think he was signed for this season ultimately. I think him and Edwards were signed for a combined £6m for next season in mind. The fact we have been playing Sulemana and Onuachu this season, probably says everything you need to know about our recruitment. And doesn't really if we're any good in defence/midfield, because we have zero threat going forward and no focal point to how we play, so the ball just comes back again. Irrelevant of manager we've been utter shite regardless of which one. Outside of those that were here last season we signed: Ramsdale - been top drawer this season IMO. Fernandes - Cracking little player but can't do it on his own Edwards - signed for future Wood - signed for future Taylor - experienced LB, but not really sure why we signed him Lallana - experienced CM, but not really sure why we signed him Welington - half season, looks ok but nothing more than that Brereton Diaz - utter trash Archer - utter trash Sugawara - utter trash Cornet - utter trash Others that have gone to Goztepe - probably pointless signings

Another men against boys, miles away from being good enough, no threat going forward until Stewart came on. Physically battered all over the pitch as per 90% of games this season. Only 1 more week and we can say goodbye officially to this season. Can't wait to see the back of some of these players, with Sulemana being right up there as one of the worst signings this club has ever made. Shocking. Great to see Stewart come on and look like he could be a really good option for us next season. Wouldn't be relying on him though.

Unbeaten against them this season. Hopefully will be a bit more positive from the stands for this one. Cmon you Saints - unchanged? Rambo; KWP Stephens Bednarek THB Manning; Ugo Downes; Fernandes Sulemana; Shite Paul Weather meant to be nice (ish)...

Levi Colwill?

Who doesn't love a London away day, visiting some nice pubs and hopefully have some decent weather. The football will be terrible, and probably a waste of time. We'll probably sit in a low block again and get the pleasure of watching Onuachu bumbling about attempting to look like a footballer.

If you think he was the main person recruiting players last summer then I’m surprised, he’s he’ll have been involved, but people above him were picking the signings. Wood and Edwards were clearly bought for next season and because they were good business deals, (buying players beneath market value). I’m certain Martin had no interest in having Onuachu and Sulemana in the squad this year. Said he didn’t want Diaz or Archer too,

Most of last season.

No, but more of an understanding that we were very much underprepared, and when you have no strikers and can’t score from anywhere else on the pitch, then I’m not sticking much blame on any manager. I have larger frustrations with the general state of football in this country, and our recruitment for this season, I saw a young manager trying to play his way and gave the fan base something to get behind last season, I have a lot of sympathy for him, I think we’d be in a better state if he was still the manager of this club, and I’m sure he’ll learn from his mistakes In time. He’s not blameless by any stretch, but I am definitely surprised with the amount of shit he’s got from a minority of our fanbase this season.

When did you become so bitter? Admittedly I've avoided this place this season, so came back on here last week or so, surprised how much views have changed

Looking forward (even still) to the game and a few beers in the sunshine. This was Rusk's line up at Fulham in December. Wonder how much of it was influenced by Juric at the time. About time we got a performance from Dibling... 3412: Ramsdale; Stephens Bednarek THB; Manning Ugo Aribo KWP; Fernandes; Sulemana Dibling 433: Ramsdale; Manning THB Bednarek KWP; Ugo Aribo Fernandes; Sulemana Onuachu Dibling Stick deep, try and be solid, play on the counter attack.

Classy bloke.

I can understand people blaming him for a bit of our downfall, but I just don't see how people can dislike him. But clearly they do. I just dont get it. Always seems a top bloke to me, talks about football in a really interesting manner, and he's still such a young coach. Will be really interesting to see where his career goes, can see it going either way if the right opportunities arise. Sure he'll get an ovation the next time he's at St Marys.

Squad will probably consist of the current players: GK: Bazunu, McCarthy, Lumley RB: Bree LB: Manning, Wellington CB: Stephens, Bednarek, Edwards, Wood, Sanda CM: Downes, Charles, Smallbone, Lallana Wide/Attacking: Edozie, Armstrong, Fraser ST: Might see offers for Bednarek, Downes, but can't see anyone else going really unless its on the clubs terms. Assumed Leaving: Ramsdale, KWP, Taylor, ABK, THB, Sugawara, Fernandes, Dibling, Gronbaek, Sulemana, Dibling, Archer, Ugochukwu, Larios, Onuachu, Stewart, 16 players, maybe best part of £1m a week off the books... Probably need RB CM AM Winger 3 strikers assuming they all leave.

Assume we have to keep Rollbit as the sponsor next season ?!

Axminster. 👍
