Saint Garrett

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. 👍

Well I’d probably go with the following team today, Lallana in for the “voice” over Fernandes. Happy for Fernandes to start though as he’s class. Wonder if we might go with 1 “pivot” in Downes given it’s Ipswich. I want a LB at LB please. Don’t mind who starts RB. Diaz playing through the middle to give us a focal point. Wouldn’t mind seeing Cornet start either. Too many players… Ramsdale Suga THB Bednarek Taylor Ugo Downes Dibling Lallana Fraser Diaz

We’re 4 games in, a load of new players and 3 games of expect us to lose anyway (Newcastle, Brentford and United) Dont think we need to hit the panic button yet. I absolutely trust Martin, and if we go down then I back him to bring us back up next season.
