It's not that individual errors are the only problem: I simply can't see what the gameplan is. Do we press? Nope. Sit deep and counter quickly? Nope. Play hell-for-leather and try to outscore? Nope. Kick lumps out of them? Nope. Can someone with more tactical insight than be help me understand what our gameplan is?

Lots of booing at half time.

Moi frustrated there, quiet rightly. Noone else pressing.

Said no-one ever. Until now.

And a striker, and an AM. Oh, and a DM. Wonder how deep SRs pockets are?

We're really missing Oriel in the middle.

I'm normally an optimist, but this season now has the feeling of the inevitable about it. To see this level of performance at this stage is sickening.

Oh bollocks.

There's a shirt out there with his name on.

Edozie looking good again. At least something to lift the crowd and give ilus a glimmer of hope.

This. Really worrying. It's not looking good.

Bazuna needs taking out of the firing line for a while. His performances can't be doing anything for his, or team confidence.

Ohhh. And that is very poor from Bazuna.

Kiss the badge you twat.

Played Edozie.

Because it's hard to fix all the past fuckups in one window.

Is that a 4-2-3-1? A more creative line up than we've seen for ages. Not sure about Lyanco over ABK/DCC.

Not much he could do with the first goal: took a big deflection. Bit of a comically, scrappy goal but not goalkeeping howler.

Loan with an option/obligation to buy makes more sense for both a player and Saints right now. As long as we get the right people in it doesn't matter to me right now.

Yep. An incredibly strange decision. I actually think SR have done okay: clearing out deadwood, improving the coaching staff etc. They've created potential. But the gaps in the squad are killing us and risk destroying that potential. They didn't fuck up the last window: they just didn't damn-well finish it.

Great to have football back, and brilliant to see this thread still up and running.

That's an impressive claim. But do you have any fans? What's your ground like?

I wonder if there's been some sophisticated analysis done by the SR thought-wizards that says playing 3CBs leads to more xG?

This is why we're near the bottom. Fucking embarrassing when it comes to finishing.

Hahaha!!!!
