Who should replace Russ? Enny Juan would be my shout. Literally Enny Juan.

Get out. Now. If he doesn't go the whole board need sacking.

Trouble is, it's likely the board think keeping Martin all season means we have a better chance of getting promoted next year. Little realising he'll have no fan support at all if we go down with a record low points total. Even with expected departures next summer of the jewels we will likely have a better Championship side than the one that just got promoted so any half decent manager would should be able to achieve that.

So... New contract for the gaffer?

I wasn't. 👍

Well bollocks.

With nothing based on this but blind faith and hope, I've stuck a twenty on Saints getting something out of this game.

Quite clever of Russ to play for a 0-0 when we're already 1 down. 😃

It's possibly already too late for a new manager to save us but we need to give it a try. Maybe the players aren't good enough but with better coaching, tactics and selection I'd bloody love to see us try. Even if we win today that is my opinion. I still think with Fernandes, Ramsdale, Suga, KWP, THB, Dibling and Archer we have the makings of a decent side. They're just padded out with Championship standard players.

Aha, great minds.

Carsley doing his U21 stalwart a favour by getting him in the senior squad before he heads back to the U21. I'm ok with it. Whether Tuchel will continue to select him remains to be seen but this will do his confidence the world of good.

Wolves is a must win with the fixtures we have coming after. Today's win gives me no more confidence that Martin will deliver that, the starting line up was poor as was, by reports and stats, the performance. I'd rather he went now to give a new manager an easier start than Liverpool.

We should have beaten Leicester and could be on 7 points right now. 4 from 10 games s still unacceptable as is this performance but this will buy Martin time.

Hold on Saints ffs Leicester equalise against Ipswich

I'm already going rapidly grey, no more please Saints.

They still have time to score 3. 😝

Offside. You have to laugh. Ten hours injury time

Martin back in. Offside? In, out, in, out and shake it all about

Martin out again lol

Fucking hell

If we win, Martin stays. I'm conflicted. Hold on though Saints

Well lol

I typed in sexy nuns to Gifs and mistyped sexy nans. So I guess that's how our luck is right now. I shan't post one.

If one of these c*nts doesn't c*nting score pretty c*nting quickly I'm going to throw my iPad through the c*nting window. C*nts. Or some other rousing speech with less use of the word C*nt.

All IMO: Manning, AA, a past it Lallana and Stephens aren't Prem quality. Archer, Fernandes, THB and Downes are largely unproven at this level but are promising. That leaves KWP, Ramsdale and Bednarek (arguably) as the Prem players in this line up. That's where our issues are. We don't have enough quality or experience in this line up. I still believe we have enough quality in the squad but we're rapidly sailing through games with the wrong manager in place. We just need someone to bring a breath of fresh air, not overcomplicate things, pick the best players in the best formation and just let the professional footballers play football.
