I can only speak for myself:)

Grossly incorrect Where have I advocated hoofball? We just don't attack in numbers and are much too slow in moving the ball forward. With our team of short players that of necessity has to be along the ground and we lose the extra dimension of balls in the air. We lose to a lot of headers and we don't score many ourselves.

No, the big nobs are all in the Kingsland.
-
Er... Bournemouth for a start.
-
Clear style? Would that be keep possession at all costs and don't do anything adventurous that might support the lone striker? Basically, keep it tight and try to hit them on the break.
-
This is a big issue for me. The players spend the first hour of each game trying to sort out who should be where and having to explain to each other why they should have been on the end of a pass that went nowhere. It shouldn't be like this after a season in charge.
-
No, of course I didn't. But I respect the right of others to voice their displeasure, as well as their right to sing and cheer in support. You pay your money and you make your voice. 'Worse season than ours'? It's not only about league position.

Cretins complaining about those who choose to boo... go to another club

Tuesday 23rd May at 11:00 if it hasn't already been taken. -
With you? At least you get to score.

They look like they've never played together before. I think it's down to the squad rotation and poor man management. If it's true that he only announces the team to the players at kickoff then that's no surprise.

There are six teams all within two points of each other. We only have 46 points and a goal difference of -7 and as has been pointed out earlier, 4 wins out of the last 18 games. Do you really think we are making progress? On top of that the football has been dire and each goal that I have seen has cost me over £122. The home cup games were even worse than the league games. I think it's fair to ask for some entertainment for a vast outlay of money. Otherwise if all you care about is league position you might as we watch the games on Teletext.

Saints Transfers Thread - Deadline Day
Whitey Grandad replied to Saint Charlie's topic in The Saints
That was they. They also had the Portugal flag today. Bertrand seemed to know them well and even gave them a cuddle. -
Started fairly positively, the usual just one up front (Austin), some neat passing down the wings with crossing attempts but too many defenders in their area for any success. Redmond unlucky to catch Butland out of goal and tried to lob him from 35 yards but hit the crossbar. Lost our way a bit in the second half and the two subs Boufal for Tadic and Gabbiadini for Austin were his usual like for like. Boufal kept falling over or losing the ball. Some hectic spells with frantic shots finding Butland in the right place and hitting him. Gabbi beat their offside once for a one on one but Butland saved and the ball rebounded off Gabbi for a GK. nothing that we haven't seen many times before.

Is league position all that matters to you?

A good player with the right tactics and motivation. I'll leave the decision to the new manager.

Bertrand spent a lot of time chatting with some of his friends down by the hoardings. They were wearing some sorts of cardboard masks. -
It was very noticeable. No team spirit there today.

Guaranteed entertainment? I want some entertainment. I want to see effort. I want to see positivity. I want to see movement off the ball. I end up watching clouds and seagulls because they're much more interesting. Yes you're right, I am spending my money on the wrong thing, and thousands of others apparently feel the same.
-
All very well reasoned and I agree with all of it.
-
I agree with this. Imagine what is was like without those away games.
-
Why would he want more strikers if he's only going to play one at a time?
-
JWP's reaction when he saw his number up said it all for me. His head went back in a 'oh no, not me' manner. This man has no idea how to motivate and inspire.
-
It was a strange affair. Some players dribbled out and then the odd one or two. Puel and Black walked round on their own in the middle of it all. He received some polite applause but there were some boos. I don't think anybody was shouting 'Puel'.
-
Total b***ocks. You buy a ticket to be entertained. There are plenty of charities that need supporting that could do with the money instead.
