He seems pretty depressed about the state of things. If he's worried then we should be too.

Not sure where that pearl of wisdom came from, it was the change of formation and personnel that improved Saints. We were much more threatening and cohesive playing with wing backs.

Surely Bree, Manning and Fraser should be binned for good, Archer too for my money. Robinson looks a class act, after all the hype surrounding Dibling it looks like we may have an even better gem fom the Academy. Good to see B ragg back in contention. Fernandes ill my arse!

It'll be Still's first appearance in front of the Saints fans so judgement day for him as well. Huge defeat and and he will get his first taste of this crowd's derision.

Heaven forbid yet another of our Academy old boys makes a high profle return to SMS only to sit on the bench all season nursing a broken ego.

Unfortunately, nobody is interested in our dross. We will struggle no doubt about that. The idea that some on here have of automatic promotion is laughable.

Not if a lot of them have been moved on.

Quite. If supposedly we are building a team that can compete in the PL then why on earth would we even consider selling our most gifted young players? Fernades, Dibling & Harwood-Bellis surely are key core players around whom we should be rebuilding our future. I cannot envisage any discernible strategy that allows the club to sell any of these players and still hope to reach the PL and stay there. What folly to sell your seed corn and expect to survive the ensuing famine.

There's a pay wall stoppng access, what does it say? League 2 here we come!

Nice message from Jan Bednarek. He's been a good servant to this club, He should leave with our blessing and good wishes for his future. Thanks Jan.

I've thought often that people use initials because; a) they can't remember the player's names b) they can't spell the player's names c) they can't pronounce the player's names Isn't it just laziness?

To be fair Elyonoussi was a stylish half decent player who happened not to fit our system at the time. In a better team he would have been far more effective. He had some good moments for us.

Are you kidding, the last one was a five minute wonder and now we are struggling to get rid of him.

She scored!

Chloe to the rescue as always.

Whatever happened to the old idea of hitting the ground running on day 1 and setting the pace?

Isn't that the truth with emphasis on Jack sPrat.

Jack the lad at it again. What a prat. Bloody hell if this is anything like the team we will put out against Wrexham we might as well shut up shop now. Take out Ramsdale and it's going to be a struggle to stay in the division. Stevens, Bree, Manning, Fraser…. you're having a laugh Will, they should be out the effing door not on the pitch wearing red & white. What's the word that rhymes with Red & White?

Pretty depressing prospect. We'll struggle with this lot, Still or no Still. [Reply to Willo of Whiteley] 12 hrs ago

He did.

This is going to be a very good season.

Succinct and on point. Good to see you are back on form. My spirtis are lifting already.

Will he Still be here at Christmas?

Nothing ever changes at SFC. It was predictable, I predicted it. Madness. Never promise what you can't deliver but they do every year. No wonder fans are so cynical and lack trust in the management.

In some cases but not others
