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.

Bunch of pricks kicking up a fuss because they were being asked to play a style they didn't like.

I can't, we have Jander, Charles, Romeu and Downes in CM. Unless Downes is leaving which i'd be fully behind but even then, Jander and Charles have so far cemented their first choice status for me, I wouldn't want JWP coming in and almost certainly being chucked straight in the team over one of them.

I suppose the one benefit of Eckert winning games (as long as it continues) is it means Saints could hold out and see who else becomes available as the season goes on.

If he isn't unsighted then he's facing world class shots that no keeper in the world would stop. Apparently he doesn't let in easy chances.

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd count the likes of Salisu, Onuachu or Bella Kotchap as part of our worst ever team as they had all performed at one time or another, whether here or elsewhere.

McCarthy is shit, but Baz is worse. Put the best keeper in goal and sign a better on asap. This is also the reason btw that McCarthy doesn't get the same type of reaction when he makes a mistake as Bazunu does - because there are no better options.

That's exactly why they sacked Still when they did mate. Take the cheap option by giving the reserve manager two very winnable games.

I gather Bazunu has Bazunu'd again.

What was the chant? At a non league game so not watching.

Bit harsh, just sharing it.

Doubt it, it'll more likely end up like Benitez at Chelsea where he just gets begrudgingly ignored.

There's a difference between signing a former Pompey player who played one season for them to signing a youth product who played for them for 7 years and is considered a legend by their fans. Go to Fratton Park and lose and the entire home end will be chanting his name. Fuck that prick, I don't want him anywhere near the club.

I have a funny feeling with his aging legs, our decent options at CM and our struggling defence he might be coming back to play CB.

Shame we couldn't get him in the summer. Hope he's made captain immediately.

Those are the players that got the last manager the sack, so whoever comes in wont be risking their job by upsetting the clique again.

In front of goal. We scored both shots on target.

Least chances created and most chances given away all season and yet we conspire to get the win somehow. Unreal.
