Shame the website was down as this thread would have been next level funny as the Brentford goals were flying in. Honestly pathetic from Saints. We need a reset. We need some signings. I honestly feel sorry for the fans that have been going week after week. I moan about shift work a lot but it is saving me from having to watch that crap so it's not all bad. I still think we have a better side than THAT Derby side back in the day but confidence is at rock bottom. Can anyone see where the next League win is coming from?

To be fair it probably beats reading about Saints currently. Still…

Yeah ditto, having issues getting on the main board.

It's hard to know how to reset this squad. It looks like it'll be a cycle of get relegated - sell any talent we have - keep the dregs - dregs are good enough in the Championship - get promoted - sign one or two half decent players and a bunch of Championship players - get relegated - sell the talent etc etc etc With the squad as it will be after relegation sans probably Dibling, Ramsdale, THB, Fernandes and KWP we will probably still boss the Championship next year with AA, BBD and Archer firing up up the league. (I'm not saying it WILL happen that we will get promoted again but it's likely bearing in mind the players we'll have at least on paper). Then we find ourselves back in the Prem again and this whole sordid affair starts again. Short of doing a Forest, getting promoted and signing effectively an entire new team (and to hell with FFP), or doing a Bournemoutb or Fulham and actually signing ALL good players that make a goof impact, I genuinely think we'll be the new boingboing Baggies unless something changes radically. Too good for the Championship, too crap for the Prem! (OK of course we could go down and plummet but let's not think about that eh?)

For as shit as we've been at least the likes of Fernandes and KWP are trying. Not that it matters in KWP's case as his contract is up anyway. However The glut of shiteness starts at the top with SR. We signed BBD and Edwards and neither are getting a look in. For my mind we went out in the summer and signed players for our next Championship campaign, Ramsdale aside. It is poor from top to bottom. I can only hope something happens in January that can at least save us from being the worst Prem team ever. Whatever that may be.

I don't blame any of our jewels for wanting out this January.

Both but Martin was the catalyst trying to play one way with players that aren't good enough to do it. I still think KWP, Ramsdale, Fernandes and Dibling would probably walk into most bottom half sides, THB might scrape into one or two but the problem is the rest are so damn Championship standard that the half decent players we have also look shite. They're not fit enough, not coached well enough and for the most part, aren't good enough. Juric has a hell of a job trying to get a tune out of them.

Late to the party, see we're one up, come on here to see how we're doing... and Palace score. I guess I'll see you all after the final whistle then.

True but that's what happens with a lack of confidence and, in Onuachu's case, a lack of playing time and rustiness. Onuachu can score goals, he's proved that. Keep playing him and he'll come good. That said I strongly suspect SR will be looking to offload players in the window, I suspect we'll lose Lesley who is rumoured to be going back to Chelsea and possibly Onuachu, just as both have started to show what they could offer us. Tis the SR way.

But I agree with only 2 CBs as you can have the extra midfielder or attacker, despite our defence being tighter in the last couple of games, there’s no point being tight defensively if you’re not scoring goals. The balance looked a bit better in the last game vs West Ham but we still went and made a defensive mistake. One fewer CB, one fewer person to make a mistake! 😁 Get a proper DM in in January to shield the defence and let’s try and score some goals.

11 from safety and Leicester currently beating Liverpool. If Juric keeps us up it'd be the greatest sporting comeback in history. We're playing for pride, that's all. I really hope SR don't spend stupid money in the window next week.

First win in the Spring then. Mind you we could win all our last 8 fixtures and still not stay up so...

Come on lads, let's get that first half feeling back. Clearly lack of fitness not helping. Dibling and Sulemana at least give us some pace.

Well thats that. But still an improved performance

I like AA and we'll need him next season but I'd like to see Juric try some games without him.

Need some luck here...

Slip? VAR. Could be a yellow.

I'd enjoy MOTD tonight more if we did score goals today... Red card West Ham!

We're already down. At least playing this way we might give more teams a game and beat Derby's record.

I'd love to see Archer and TP up top. Though knowing our luck we finally get TP in form and we'll sell him next week.

This is brilliant. So much better.

I don't fully blame us for not scoring yet despite the chances - we've not exactly had much practice at attacking teams so far this season.

Suga can put in a great cross. Onuachu will get on the end of one eventually.

I'd have an issue with that if it were AA on his own up top but with Onuachu it's not such a bad idea. As long as we mix it up and don't keep doing it.
