Carry on playing Russball and we lose, simple as that.

Ah yes, the classic let's go on the offensive when called out. Also very common here. Damion Downs was signed at the beginning of last season, I'd say that's ample time to prove whether he's at our level irrespective of the number of starts he's had. He's had loan spells at lower levels than us and failed, so this is a pretty pointless example you've provided. We all know hes nowehre near the level we need, so no point being a dick about it.

I mean, we've seen enough of him to know he's clearly not good enough for our level, so i don't get how this is relevant. If you understand what I've said, I'm referring to judging players before they kick a ball for us, or without a reasonable amount of time to integrate. In fairness, some fans actually gave Dobbin 30 minutes before writing him off. Fair play for allowing him that time to settle. It's all getting a bit common here, Larin, Dobbin, Azaz when he joined, people were on his case after his early performances. Fellows, Archer. Last season, Manning and Bree copped a load. Even saw a bunch of crap when Peretz joined, although tbf, a lot of that was people taking issue to their understanding of his political views. We've clearly missed out on our preferred targets. Seems sensible to use a loan, rather than chuck 15 mil that turn out to be duds that we can't shift, like Downs... Yes we'd have liked a bit more experience, but lets give the lad a handful of games at least.

Yep, it's quite embarrassing to see how many of our fans jump the gun and slag off/display discontent with new signings, only to look like a bunch of muppets when they're wrong. It's pretty common practise, sadly.

Almost 76% possession and no goals. Russball still going strong 💪

No cheating, no party, so it seems....

I mean, apart from the guys who have said "waste of fking money", "Dobbin was awful recruitment", "Don't like Dobbin, fast but so what" yeah, no ones written him off. That's just from this forum btw, twitter and had been even more rife tbf.

It's not bollocks. I've read plenty of negative comments across the various platforms. Not quite Larin levels just yet, maybe give it another game or two.

That's saints fans for ya. We do this all the time, then moan when we get called out.

The fans in general no. The ones laughing and mocking and just being arrogant, absolutely they do. Some of our fans have been a total embarrassment, as they so often are lately.

I hope all those fans delusional fans who have spent the past week laughing and joking have finally woken up and accepted the reality of the situation. Got what we deserved.

Poor Watford. I suppose this was always going to happen to someone. I feel for their fans.

Oh we are that twatish. The way we've slagged off our own players, managers and board should be enough to tell anyone our fans would absolutely have a meltdown if the shoe was on the other foot. Anyone who thinks differently is very naive/delusional. Our fans are as fickle and hypocritical as any of them.

Lol, not particularly. Praise is given where its due. He didn't have his best game. Got no change from the ref whatsoever though tbf.

He's spot on. Surprise surprise you're being a p***k again.

I'm just a guy who likes to see our players given a chance to prove themselves before we write them off, slag them off, or just take the p*ss out of them. I'm sorry if that's an alien concept to you (and others). And yes, there were tons of people doing this. Maybe not all on this forum, but all over the Facebook groups. If someone's genuinely playing bad, fair enough (most have now moved on to Archer now that Larin has scored a few and shut them up) but Larin was slagged of without even a chance. Just a shame we have so many knee-jerk melts in the fan base. I guess some slack can be cut after last season tbf.

But they won't slag Leo off, everyone loves him. Cyle has copped so much shit from our so called fans since he walked in the building. I've noticed this season in particular just how fickle our fans are/have become, and just how much grief we give our own players. Pretty embarrassing tbh. I'm just starting to call more people out on it. If they get pissy about it, good.

I'm happy to go and pull out the quotes mate. No, not at all. Been on this forum in the background for 20 years. I've seen it all, lol.

Yeah, that's right. Slag him off all game, then call him a beauty when he scores. #saintsy.

Fickle saints fans at their finest right here. Classic.

He's amongst the worst shot tosave ratio in the division, and that's been the case every season he's been with us. It's not unwarranted.

Ruffled a few feathers here and totally agree with you. The furniture in this place don't like when they're challenged or questioned.

Anyone that would still prefer RM needs to check themselves into an asylum.

Awful, awful manager.

Mark Lawrenson said pretty much the same about Ramirez, and we still got it done. He was also a massive tool.
