Could this mean that Enzo Maresca didn't actually turn us down (as reported?), rather Ankersen over-ruled Wilcox and insisted we appoint Martin instead of Maresca...? #readingbetweenthelines

I've always had a problem with my Rs...

Yep, that would probably be my team too. Although, and I can't believe I'm saying this, I would contemplate starting with Holgate at RB again. We actually looked balanced in defence (at long last) with him playing there and, before his brain fart, I thought he looked very comfortable in that position. All we need to do is tell the other players to shout "man on" loudly at Holgate when he has one of his trademark dilly-dally moments and we should be ok...

Thinking out loud, are we playing Smallbone in the wrong position? IIRC, he plays in a more advanced position for Ireland, and has looked relatively decent in that role, and yet here we play him deeper? We've all seen how much better JWP is when he's played in a more advanced position. Déjà vu all over again...?

If we have a squad that is "mentally weak" why didn't Wilcox see fit to mention this in his "we've now got the squad we want, everything is looking rosey" interview that he did with Adam Blackmore before the Sunderland game? Why would he say everything is looking great if the squad had major attitude issues...? If we had fundamental flaws in the squad, then it turns out that interview was a complete sham...

Yep, same red flag for me. At least with Jones's post match rants, you got the feeling he had a modicum of self-awareness of how much of a nutcase and/or out-of-depth he was, whereas with Martin, there seems to be zero self-awareness of how delusional he is....

What, even that song that should be a Saints anthem...?

This is fast turning into my favourite post-match thread ever...

This superb version must have passed you by then...?

😂😂😂

That's quite scary... #dejavu

Good evening Russell... Welcome to the forum... Fear not, you've come to the right place to get the help you need ...

Sounds like 75% of this forum over the years to be fair...

Harsh on AA including him in the team...?

"Lego head" Have to admit that just made me laugh out loud 😂

By that logic, you're saying that Hassenhuttl (for example) wouldn't be out of his depth managing the likes Man City...

If he can't trust him enough to even bring him off the bench then why on Earth is he on the bench in the first place? #warpedlogic

Enjoy your game of golf tomorrow

According to their fans, they really rated him but already had an abundance of decent CBs who were ahead of him in the pecking order
