Give it to Ron

We had Big Les a defensive midfielder and Lallana on the bench and getting over run in whose head would think Smallbone is the answer when he hasn’t played in weeks? Ok Big Les had bad game at Bournemouth but so did Fraser!

Cannot do anymore how about stopping Fatawu or get within 20 yards of him ! Tactically so naive when was last time we won the midfield especially in centre and bringing on a player who hasn’t played in weeks when getting over run is so stupid especially when he has no power, can’t head it, can’t tackle yet you are under the cosh . Lets give Martin more time he just may one day make the right substitution

Longer to do what?

They have invested a lot of money in this system and it will take them a lot to admit they got it wrong again or it’s now not working. It will take a lot more money to change again and will that change work no guarantees it will.

How many times did we play the U shape or have 5 attackers on bench and no forwards last season? If he can stop trying to be the new Poundland Pep and get a few wins then all changes but tactically I refuse to believe someone like Carrick wouldn’t be a better option than Mad Russball

Can you tell me which other club plays a U formation with strikers 60 yards apart? Can you show me a club that leaves 5 strikers on bench and best 2 midfielders out of position? Just brings players in from nowhere like Manning Saturday (although did well). Where is our German international? if that is being hipster then I am glad I can’t grow a beard. Unless we get a Potter or a Moyes I don’t see point in just changing to a Corberon who Russ beat a few time last season tactically. Eustace isn’t the experienced manager this club needs to run it with the lack of know have at board level. Thing in back of my mind is the way we just abandoned the play throughout club to appoint Jones how do I trust them to get the right man and coaching team.

Let’s see the Saints v Leicester starting 11 and if TP not in it he has lost the last bit of credibility with me. We finally had an outlet and focal point someone the better players could play off.

I was concerned by performance at Bournemouth players not putting it in just cannot say that today worked really hard for each other.

Few beers at new Spoons in Waterloo can’t temper my disappointment no way was this a 3-1 game. Fans tried hard today to get behind the team so obviously outclassed by standard and cost of players compared to ours. How do you go from not playing to starting Manning but he was one of our best players today didn’t put a foot wrong. Defensively tried so hard competed every set piece, cannot fault players today gave everything. TP gave us the focal point we have needed. Fernandez will be some player, my one criticism is on Downes who when presses leaves us open as he is the only holding player and back four exposed we don’t need him to press just stay solid. I never normally talk about away stewards but looking for trouble that wasn’t there had to get involved twice from mainly same one with chip on shoulder picking on mate and son who did nothing. Decent performance today considering but long season and we will need to get points soon

Possibly but as I keep saying it’s not Rasmus picking 2 forwards playing 60 yards apart, no strikers and 2 good midfielders out of position, not Rasmus insisting our 2 worst players on ball get most of it. Chopping and changing team and not allowing players to get an understanding of each others game. Russ must have had hand in signings otherwise why sign Wood who last season was awful and not Prem standard. Blame Rasmus, owners, Kraft, Doris the tea lady but the buck stops at manager who can’t make a substitution as long as his arse has hole in it

I don’t think all was Jones think some of that was Ralph not 100% but that was figured quoted to pay off old managers and coaches. I think Russ will get 3 more games and unless we get Some points even biggest supporters on board may decide enough is enough. I hope we do get points but unless Russ finds a magic formula he will go.

We spent 15m on getting rid of Jones etc according to posts and accounts last year - given we gave him a new contract can we even afford to sack him? it’s not as if we have a chance in staying up with the poor recruitment- no centre forward again. Banking on Ross Stewart etc

The keeper Norris is abysmal

Sam this time

Sky fck up it’s 1-1

Well done Sam G give the Skates a scumming

Well he was spotted in Winch this morning with her so the lucky sole

Just a reminder for those going by train it’s buses from Central to Park Way on Saturday- last week was chaos there

Just to advise if not aware it’s buses from Central to Park Way

- is it the owners whose tactics have 2 strikers 60 yards apart? 5 strikers on bench and 2 of best midfielders out of position? Insist that our 2 worst players on the ball have the most touches? Is it the owners who chop and change the team so much the players can’t build patterns or understanding of each others game? Are you saying Russ didn’t have any say in signings do you believe Wood isn’t his? Wages we could have used on a better striker? So Archer, BBD and Cornet bought in without his approval or his legendary man management to improve them if he did its all the owners fault?

Won’t be Stephens has another 2 match ban

But we won’t get Moyes it will be Eustace or Corberan who Rasmus can baffle with bullshit. it won’t be before 13/10 either as that’s his charity game 🙂

I reluctantly put yes - it’s taken me a while to get over 2 forwards 60 yards apart but tonight 2 wingers with no centre forward and playing best 2 midfielders recently out of position it has to be go.

Ryan Fraser has character yet if you don’t give him anyone to pass or cross to what’s the point - clown it’s not character it’s tactics and picking the right team

We need an experienced strong manager to sort this club out - keep us up for 2 seasons bringing in the money to get us level with the Bournemouth, Brentford, Everton and Palaces.
