Sounds like that's on the players then, as I was saying.

The players were getting to the point that Toussaint outlined in his post. The five at the back is exactly the same, last two games we played worse and today we played better. Still was sacked early because fans changed against Sports Republic and they couldn't have that. If he'd been given time we'd have seen the same progression. Today - 31 shots on goal Swansea home - 28 shots on goal. The difference? Not the formation or the style of play, simply the composure of the players on the pitch.

Funny that we're playing the same formation and system as under still, creating the same amount of chances but players are actually putting them away now. Ekhart will end up getting it now.

Downes, Downs, deeper and down...

Of course. Cheers Baz.

That'll do pig.

Stephens trying his best to spoil the performance.

You may be right, but we don't need him to be a prodigy for him to be able to do a job for us.

Harsh, hasn't he only made one sub appearance for us? Bit early to write him off.

Guess it wasn't the players missing buckets of chances or making individual mistakes to give away stupid goals then.

I'm not at all. As much as he showed flashes of brilliance he struggled to properly make an impact at Prem level. If his advisors actually cared about his development at all and not the fastest way to make money, they'd have told him that a season or two in the championship would have been ideal at this point in his career. He could even have run down his contract and then got himself a nice fat signing bonus on a free.

If they really had no idea who they were going to go for, surely the sensible thing to do would be to keep Still in place while they quietly begin searching, simultaneously giving him the chance to turn it around but also knowing they have the new man ready for when they pull the trigger.

Former Saint Aaron Martin has stepped into management with Havant and Waterlooville. Shame about the choice of club but good luck to him otherwise.

Its amazing isn't it. If we'd kept Still and had those two performances/results how different would the discourse on here be.

Whoever the new manager is, can the Northam please stop encouraging them to do the embarrassing fist pump celebration after every single win.
