Give it to Ron

Why is that an issue on many away grounds we have to walk a lot further to parked coaches. Fulham and Chelsea 2 examples

He has been playing advanced midfield, creative, takes all set pieces in games I watched on TV. Didnt seem to have many defensive responsibilities.

West Brom have had a poor season yet won 17 games can you imagine watching us win 17 times in a season?

That poor bastard was playing them on his own again. Such a waste of talent alongside so much shite coached by 2 clueless muppets this year

How long does it take that useless prick to make a sub? Mara scores against City has he had a minute since yet we play Armstrong who is so lost it’s unbelievable ! Don’t start me on Ely useless what did he actually do tonight again one good turn then lost it as was treading water. No focal point no outlet Billings had the freedom of park and what did our tactical genius do…..nothing waves his arm .

The hideous kits. Shite beer in the concourse. £5 for a sausage roll That morose band before kick off The rest is immaterial, season ticket holder 20+ years and following since 1963:-)

Because he is 19 and he may well have been blowing but he still offers more than anyone else and got second wind. His positioning is outstanding for someone that young. Diallo alongside him instead of was the call.

It doesn’t help either taking off your one and only decent holding defensive midfielder in Lavia!

He won’t keep us up though will he. We are gone and have been for ages. Tactically naive, wouldn’t know best 11 look at last week Aribo starts after no game time this week was Armstrong turn.

Sale of Lavia , JWP and Salisu wipes out that debt.

We haven’t had a consistent centre back since Fonte and VVD though. Not sure how we include Bednarek in that TBH him dribbling that in his own net still gives me nightmares! TBF he has been ok last couple of games but we need clean slate with him and gone. Lyanco I can see gone back to Brazil cheap

It won’t be this squad though will it? Tempting fate here….SR got every decision wrong this year surely they will get something right next? Wilcox should understand what’s needed once all our decent players have gone Lavia, KWP, Salisu, ABK etc

Would you keep Lyanco he seems perfect for championship? I watched a few Stoke games on TV a few weeks ago and Smallbone was taking all free kicks, corners and creating chances. Think he will be fine with someone doing his defending as he did none! Agree with all you wrote apart from Larios is too small for a left back.

I am more likely to renew when we go down

I wonder if they realise that season tickets renewals are due and how many will renew with Selles? Going by the shitshow this year and not one correct decision this board have made I doubt it too.

More likely to score than our forwards even at 72

Bloody hell 2 up already today

I think Brighton are everything we aren’t. Well run , good owner understands game, invests well, great transfer system and recruitment. Brighton replaced Potter with a better manager we get Jones and Selles. Agreed about Selles being clueless a poor man’s Ralph.

Football is a simple easy game yet we seem to have been blinded by stats and seeking some blue sky thinking based on them. I am old school and know it’s outdated but pick best players put them in best natural positions not KWP playing left back. Have a focal point players like the very good Alcaraz can play off. Pick the team based on performance on the pitch Mara scores then dropped. Ely useless most weeks but plays. Aribo not on bench few weeks yet starts. I know that’s bizarre these days of XG etc but it’s a forum and my views of this season’s shit show.

If a stats based approach means going into a game with no centre forward and a player who scored the week before doesn’t get a minute in next game then I’m not convinced it’s correct approach

I don’t think we should protest about poor Martin he has to miss time with his family don’t you know!

Love that!

It’s a few things : Not buying a forward pre season for Ralph. How anyone though Adams and Armstrong could get us goals! Then keeping Ralph because we had a World Cup break. Appointing Jones….why and what mad man thought that would work with his cv.Flying against all what our academy do playing style. Our appalling recruitment in the last 3 windows. Buying young players with stepping stone thoughts they can move on after 18 months why do they give a shit about club or if team gets relegated

I hate posts like this opening one above as if it matters what we think. So a few fans on a forum wanted him out why …..because we were shit. Easy to forget Ralph games like Villa away under Gerrard who were 1 point above us who sacked him we lost didn’t have a shot in 90 they got in Emery look at them now! Name me one fan who wanted Jones or Selles no-one wished for them we just wanted a manager who could turn this shitshow around pick a formation that at least creates a few chances and doesn’t conceded 15 goals from free kicks. All Saints fans want is a team that gives it a go and tries we are 4 points away still although could be 20 we won’t get another ….it wasn’t hard to fix yet we have owners who think we need some blue sky thinking and be cleverer than anyone else some magical formula….it doesn’t work! Today was a joke formation we had no focal point or outlet Aribo who did ok really was thrown in and hadn’t even gotten off the bench recently. Mara scored last week didn’t get a minute how is that what fans wished for?

Yes kicks in 2024 but I think they will come back earlier. Rumours others looking at him can only be good and push up the price
