Short memory then. Guess you only started watching again when we got promoted.

Didn't matter as we were so much better than the majority of the league anyway. This season we're not.

Danny fox was quality at this level, it's worrying that Manning looks so poor.

Signing defenders from a team with one of the worst defensive records, I'm shocked.

Has any team gone an entire season without a single clean sheet?

We should be aiming for top 2 not top 6. With the squad we had on relegation we would have achieved that.

Wolves I would have thought. They let Jimenez go and haven't really replaced him. Or Luton.

Adams is more proven than Nicolas Jackson who would you rather have?

He really isn't.

Even the summer we sold Lambert etc the board knew when enough was enough, refusing to let Schneiderlin go. Letting go one of those two would be just about bearable, letting both go and we're just emptying our squad of all our best players.

ABK on the bench is interesting. Tella off then, £20million isn't a bad amount though.

She does, sorry mate. All window we've been talking about how we have to sell BEFORE we bring people in. Now we sign Fraser and we're assuming he's tellas replacement?

Everton are absolutely desperate for cash wherever they can get it though. He wouldn't have been playing so from their point of view they've just saved £1.8 million and haven't lost anything.

For some reason I thought he was on loan at a championship side last season. On the face of it a good signing, reinforcement at CB which I wanted and left sided as well. Hope he's signed to be a starter though and not back up to Jan and Stephens.

That came out of nowhere. Think it's a really good signing though.

Interesting you remember a mistake he made last season but you repeatedly defend on the numerous mistakes Bazunu made, including one goal palming it into his own net. Also interesting that the case for Bazunu this season seems to revolve around us being a league lower and him being more suited to this level but that doesn't apply to McCarthy, who has actually played and succeeded here before.

McCarthy. As you said they all have issues, but McCarthy has experience, has excelled at this level before with Reading and has even put in top performances in the Prem (not very often I admit, but still more often than Bazunu). I actually would have preferred none of them, wanted to sign a new first choice from a team down here already and loan Baz out, but it's obvious we aren't signing another keeper now. I've accepted he's now our number one but that doesn't mean I have to stop being critical.

Bit cynical, they still aren't going to be selling huge amounts of them they're literally producing a limited edition level amount. There'll still be very disappointed people. What's funny is the green one is actually available on that DHGate website that a lot of us use for Saints kits.

I agree, no more outgoings from the first choice attacking line and I'm not too fussed about bringing anyone else in. I'd still like to see an improvement at CB (unless we also keep hold of ABK).

Part of the reason I wasn't keen on the sell before buying mantra is that it inevitably means clubs ask us for higher prices.

"Obsessed" mate I'm literally just replying to people who reply to me, it's how a forum works 😂

Over the course of a season, it's not meaningless. I'm just keeping track of it. If it was flipped and he saved 75% of all shots on target we'd be singing his praises for it.

That's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is "keeper concedes 3 out of every 4 shots on target, this is a problem if it carries on".

True and that may well be the case. All I'm saying is so far he hasn't looked particularly confident.
