Give it to Ron

Weird stuff? I thought I had seen it all with Martins 60 yard apart strikers but 2 right backs with no outlet playing best chance of a goal out of position then scapegoating is a different level. Sacking Martin wasn’t wrong replacing him with Juric and his batshit ideas is. Gronbaek starts at Liverpool yet dropped - we play well with 4 at back yet reverts to a mad formation . Lallana signing is just another example of stupid recruitment has anyone seen Wee Man is he hiding? Its a terrible squad managed by bat shit management owned by people that want to re-invent what’s wrong being normal and doing things sensible?

I wasn’t bothered about the Stephens for Aribo sub that’s just one centre half for another 🙂 Taking off Fernandez was pathetic

If you think we made a game of it yesterday then think you were either watching a different game to quite a large number of people around me, in the pub and who I went with or you don’t have a scoobie or posting to get bites. Wolves were terrible we were worse due to the formation and team selection if you can’t see that then I’m wasting my time answering you. You posted recently about the players recruited being the wrong type physically which I totally agree with so there is hope for you.

How can it be a downgrade on yesterday? No striker in a game we could win, 2 right backs doing nothing as no outlet, our best midfielder out of position and then subbed and scapegoated? Free headers with 5 at back and forwards just running and never closed down despite doing well with 4 at Liverpool. The players clearly not playing for him just how can it be a downgrade where and what?

71% possession and 0 shots for one thing

If it’s Frankie Bridge I’m interested

Southampton’s Premier League record under Sport Republic’s ownership: 84 matches 13 wins 14 draws 57 defeats 78 goals scored 176 goals conceded 15.5% win percentage 53 points from a possible 252 2 relegations* Needs more than a retro shirt doesn’t it !

Watch the 4th goal if you need evidence of that. Loads on social media pointing it out

Even though we didn’t sign a decent forward we needed? We need better physical players , pace, power and ability we have spent over 200m to have this shambles of a squad.

What did they do in 3 months that makes you ignore the results and also Bazanu was one of theirs!

I don’t disagree at all my mate and I are always saying we haven’t had a Wanyama for far too long. We need a Stephen Nzonzi, Doucoure type in midfield, a Pelle up front, pace and power throughout the team to compete in the Prem. I am not going to pick on Smallbone but he is a classic example what’s wrong here. Some are putting a lot of faith in Spors - given SR couldn’t know a decent employee if it bit them I think as a club we are in trouble.

Physical attributes meaning the recruitment is wrong for type of player? I have been saying for years our academy is wrong and we just sign small technical players - I used to see first hand how they got battered by the West Ham, Brentford etc big lads. It seems to have changed recently. The last 3 years recruitment has been abysmal and why we are here now.

Why did we sack the manager it was oh so good watching that game….fwiw I don’t think Martin is the worst ever. The blame is solely SR and our recruitment in the last 3 years. Juric isn’t the answer either but let’s see what happens in summer.

Jeesh I thought your other post was nuts this one beats that - stuck with Martin and his 75% possession and 0 shots. No-one on here or any forum got Martin the sack the owner did it after watching him fail again versus Spurs.

Half a game

Can’t be that huge with a massive 9 points can it 🙂 At Palace he came on and of the 7 touches he had he gave away 6 times. A waste of wages and squad place a typical example of the fck up this season on and off the pitch

“Just wait until next season….

We are more likely to do a Luton, how do SR all of a sudden get it right after 3 years of terrible recruitment? It’s not easy to cull players on contracts as we have seen. We flip flop between playing styles and weld ourselves to whatever the new manager wants yet can’t get someone that can look at a game and adapt just rotate players in that position never alter tactics. Ill use the Burnley game for what’s wrong under SR - no lessons learnt from less than half full Swansea game - rather close a stand than offer sensible prices. Flat fans flat team performance in soulless atmosphere. We play 1 centre half 2 right backs 2 left backs and no centre forward . We go a goal down and swap Smallbone for Big Les against a team playing 1 up front who is about 40 🙂 no pace we stick with 5 at back. On 82mins we swap 2 creative players for 2 no change in shape no extra forward and get piss taken out of us by JonJo Shelvey at our goal scoring attempts or lack of. Why does anyone think next season will be better? Why is Spors seen as a messiah just because he isn’t Ankersen?

To get rid we need some fools to take them or offers that are very low it’s not ever that simple. You seem very taken in by the new Spors appointment what in the last 3 years gives you the confidence he is the answer to years of poor recruitment, players wanting out, a complete overhaul in summer getting us up and ready for 8th August after this devastating season? I applaud your optimism but I do not share this given SR record.

BBD with brilliant finish put Sheffield 2 -1 up playing on right not 60 yards away from nearest striker who would have thought!

What experience does he have in England? The top 2 divisions are miles apart does he have the knowledge to ensure the cluster fuck our recruitment has been will ‘potentially’ be solved next season?

Oh we have soooo missed you please keep posting and telling us how great you are we need you …. Like a dose of the clap

I just want a manager that can look at a game and alter tactics rather than stick to what he is embedded to. We had Martin boring pass pass to nobody now we have 5 at the back against Ashley 98 year old Barnes-plus 2 midfielders slotting too. today we needed 4 4 fcking 2 with someone close to TP and crossing to him but we had absolutely b/s tactics going nowhere and creating nothing . Dibling was terrible!

If you think Smallbone is the answer what is the question when we leave 2 right backs and 2 left backs , Aribo was shocking yet played 90 we again had no outlet or focal point until TP then took off players that would get close to him. Juric lost me today clueless tactics
