Polaroid Saint

Stick Romeu on for Manning. I don't care it's not his position or his pace as gone. Let's see how 'fearless' that Dowman lad really is. 😉

Hopefully Wrecsam are mentally and physically drained by this (and not emboldened). Tricky to tell. Good game to watch for a 'neutral'... ...I'm generally on board with the Wrexham 'project', for all the Hollywood glamour and the TV show, it appears to be a rare case of owners who actually care about the club, history and - most importantly - the community. I don't get the hate. Surely that's what every club wants? Having said that, they our direct rivals right now; so hope they are knackered and depressed by this result. Grrr.

I enjoyed that almost (almost) as much as the goals. Love a diving header from a goalie outside the box at the attackers feet.

As long as we appoint a manager with a good C(R-)V, the first few games could be a Prelude to future success. If they can then put across their preferred Type (R) of football to the first team with Clarity we might just get a Hybrid of Elegance, attractive Pass(port)ing and a Rig(id back) Line. But, as we know, with Sport Republic's HR(-V) it could b e:Ny1.

And, sadly, he was absolutely correct.

Goal of the season stuff. Marvelous. Loved all of it, the pick up in own half, the power, pace, control, targeting and shot but particularly the way he was already turning away on his celebration before it even hit the back of the net. Class.

What was the point of sacking Still? Or, as much seems to be evident, appointing him in the first place? This is a team without management, leadership, direction, purpose, ideas. Seems the manager has no active role at Saints. Abysmal stuff... ...hold on. Key change: phew. Good Goal Season starts here! Pfft.

Well, was meant to be center-left but kept on playing to the right until he was pretty much a right-winger by the time he stepped up to the premiership.

'Great' retro design choice with the plastic stick-on sponsor logo. FFS. That is peeling off after 4 points from possible 9 away.

I loves it. Ever the contrarian, I quite like the white back too. I liked the white slash kit and this has an air of that about it.

James Ward Prowse in Tesco Car Park, Aldershot. He was a rather nervous and shy lad - must of only just passed his driving test at the time so I wasn't too surprised by his slightly naff and beat-up looking red Fiesta (or similar small hatch). I then (completely by coincidence as we were obviously leaving the car park at the same time and heading in the same direct) proceeded to follow him, first slowly round the car park before exiting, equally slowly round the roundabout, and then quite closely for about three miles down winding country road towards Fleet. He was driving somewhat erratically. Although, that might have had something to do with the overly enthusiastic waving and constant thumbs-up coming from the grinning idiot driving the car behind him.

Got to be happy with that, Saints fans? Can practically smell the Old Spice on the collar.

Surely something around: 'Still S.F.C' ... By Snoop and Dre... "Do do do do do do do do do: Still!" (Still got love for the saints, it's the SFC!) Etc

Is this thing still on?

Martin Out! Seriously tho', that defeat was primarily down to our horrendously unfit squad which is all RM; it's an open secret that we have trained all season, pre-season and last season in a way that is not rigorous enough for "top level athletes". It was showing a year ago, and it's shown all season. Will we have a team, a squad, capable of lasting ninety, a hundred, 100+, minutes next year? And competing? Let's hope so.

Can we have No Manager, please? Honestly can't see how that's worse; Let a player committee sort it out week to week. By the end of the season there might even be a consensus (is it Lalana? would it be Jack? Ryan Manning tactical genius?). Obviously, it's a terrible idea, I get that - but still no worse than any other options and would appeal to Sports Republic maverick management style.

Stephens taking one for his best mate there? - get sent off, so RM can blame the sending off for the result. Ffs.

Well. Replacing serial loser (BBD) with player of previous season (AA) and we done a win. Football Management eh?

You can get the same odds on Citeh winning 8-0 as you can on Saints to win 1-0. Which seems about right.

Difficult to judge away against this current Arsenal side. But nothing's really changed other than perhaps emphasise that the squad is being mis-managed. I can't see the owners sacking him before next Sunday's 'critical' game - but If Martin loses that one then he'll have to go. 🤪

Tall Paul has been great in this brief cameo. I mean, nothing to lose etc, but still, goes soem way to showing how much better any team can look with an actual centre forward on the pitch. (((ah. bums)))

ah, the "ol' run two yards and gently poke the football with your finger" exercise. Classic. FFS.

My photography assistant says that Steele had great focus and is picture perfect for Saints. He can shake things up at the back and will develop nicely.
