The Kraken

Agreed. Young keepers make mistakes, it’s a given. Off the top of my head, Savey Davey de Gea and Charlie Hart came through when they were very young, and their early career was showcased a number of high profile mistakes. Amongst that though they also showed an unmistakeable potential. I don’t get that with Bazunu; his distribution is decent but he just doesn’t make enough saves to have me think ‘this lad has really got something about him”. Maybe he’ll improve, he’s only 21, or maybe like Kelvin he’ll demonstrate that he’s very good in a lower division. Or maybe neither. Lots to prove but I don’t see a keeper who just needs to learn a bit, there’s a bit more needed. Maybe a season in the Championship will do him good.

I don’t buy the idea that Marsch would’ve saved us. Leeds were going entirely in the wrong direction under him, he might have given us a boost, who knows, but I don’t see it as a great missed opportunity. Our fate was sealed with the disaster that was Nathan Jones, 3 points from 8 games (3 from 7 if we’re generous and discount the Liverpool game), and completely disrupted the whole squad. Selles (9 points from 11) actually has quite a similar points per game as Hassenhuttl from the start of the season (12 from 14); both records that over the course of a season would see us in trouble but still in with a decent chance of survival. Selles has been disappointing, don’t get me wrong, but he’s only been as poor as a Ralph was from the start of the season. And I still see plenty of people say we should’ve kept hold of Ralph, even though his and Selles’ record is so similar.

This is indeed a worry. It’s not as if we went out and recruited someone with a track record as a director of football, he was an Academy director up to then. Ok, his role as DoF with us is only likely to oversee player recruitment (amongst various other things) rather than get into the day to say nuts and bolts of scouting, but let’s just say he’s got everything to prove and little to yet back it up with.

It did what it needed to do. Bournemouth are a terrible side, and our lack of tactics and wrong choice of side completely undid us. Chelsea away was a job well done. Today was an indication that it was a fluke.

He’s the Spanish Terry Connor. Just clueless. The Chelsea performance and subs made was excellent. Since then, he’s just proved himself to be a dopey clueless cunt. Fuck off lad, enjoy your payday.

Fuck off Selles Ruben Selles I just don’t think you understand… How to manage a team And this line doesn’t rhyme Fuck off Ruben Selles

It wasn’t.

Probably because his foot was the closest part of his body to the goal line.

Yeah, we really got it right not going for him. Phew! Lucky escape.

Selles is blinded by the lights of being in charge of a side. Just no idea of how to build a side. The selection tonight and then the subs have been utterly clueless. He’s gone after this, no way back. We’ll do well to stay in the championship on this performance.

That’s enough for me. Shameful all round.

And there it is. Deserved. Fuck off saints.

Are we backing off for a point here?

🤣 Fucking hell. Brilliant.

Not having that. Nathan Jones was a special,p kind of terrible. Selles is proving himself well out of his depth. Just doesn’t know how to create a settled side, and no idea how to be a manager. Likely a reasonable coach with so good ideas but not got enough about him to put them together. His appointment was utterly bizarre. Ralph was basically forced to empty him as his coach. Just a ridiculous summer, kept on a manager who should’ve gone then forced him to have a number one that the board signed off on. Well done SR. Clueless.

Get Armstrong and Eluseless off, get Adams and Sulemana on. At least give it a fucking go. A point does nothing, at least try to score you negative fuckers.

Fucking terrible half. Fuck off with that. Pathetic line up, pathetic performance, pathetic tactics.

This is a disgusting performance. First 10-15 was ok but after that it’s just utterly pathetic.

You must have a really short memory.

‘Stop playing like a Cunt’ hopefully

Fucking hell, we’re passing round post-it notes now

Adam Armstrong is playing like up a fish up a tree.

This is really shit. Bournemouth utterly shit at the back in the air and we have a false nine with our big lad not in the squad. Just piss poor this.

Let off. Fucking terrible defending.

Two corners, Bournemouth shit at the back in the air, and we go with two short corners.
