Times 2

They’re out of form, we are out of form, 1-1 draw.

What Tonda can’t do is rip into the lazy useless players after insipid performances, and tell them how it is. He doesn’t have the gravitas, football experience or life experience to do it. Most of our problems are the players reverting to lazy, non running tippy tappy shitball again. No wonder they “liked him and wanted him as manager”. Easy life. An experienced manager wouldn’t come in and work under Sport Republics interfering demands with formations and style required, hence we get work experience managers with no experience at all. Happy days. Not.

Tonda triple T football. Has a ring to it 👍 ….and it’s a shit ring….

So we start again without our most dangerous pair (Scienza and Fellows) starting together. Sigh.

New year, new start today Saints. Let’s have a high tempo up and at ‘em start to the game today, Scienza and Fellows taking on their full backs and causing mayhem. Fast breaks, quick passing, getting on the front foot and taking the game to Millwall. Please no more tippy tappy “to me, to you” nonsense. Return of Tonda ball, end of Russ ball. Please 🙏. 😇s to win 2-1. 🤞

Towing the party line. Best we give Baz a nice contract extension in case he gets snapped up by a big team….said nobody ever. * Except we know SR will do exactly this and lump us with Baz for another 3 years. Total 🤡s

Love that Archer scores. Blues hate it 🤪🤣🤣

In fairness, a very decent save.

Christ this is shit by both sides. 3/10 first half. 🎶 Things can only get better 🎶

I think they were all too slow to even foul their player - mentally if not physically as well!

Well it would help if the manager didn’t pick Bazunu in goal, and bring Stephen’s back in when Quarshie done alright last game. That IS the manager choosing the team, therefore influencing the result. That is his job.

Not a single tackle in 3/4 of the pitch. Embarrassing shower of shit. We have played like a bunch of talentless strangers last 20 mins. Wank. TE why oh why do you not change anything for the better. Shit performance, shit manager, shit game. Merry Christmas Oxford 🎄 Have 3 points 🎁, lots of love Saints 😇

I’d go further - player goes down ‘injured’ ref stops the stadium clock. Subs add on 30 seconds each added on to remaining time instantly. Any injuries stop the clock throughout the game. I’d also have any yellow card = sin bin for 10 mins - 4th official to police timings. Throughout game, not just 2nd half.. keeper gets booked - reserve keeper comes on. Clock stops from moment of card to moment of restart. Time wasting (also known as black arts) can fuck off.

Because if no1 or 2 are the injured you have to have someone on the bench. As you know.

None at all. But with a world class number 1, and a very very good number 2, he doesn’t need to. You can’t level that at Saints. Bettenelli would comfortably be our number 1 if in our squad. Everyone before the season started knew our keepers would be weak, but SR did nothing about it. My point is why didn’t we get in a loan keeper/ buy a keeper who would be challenging for the number 1 shirt? Some healthy competition would not be amiss…

How many teams can you name where both first and second choices are universally so poor that you hope the loan keeper is a rival for first choice….

Because he offers no competition to the other two. Therefore pointless.

Instead we went for George ‘cone stacker’ Long.

More worrying is that you, me and everyone else just knows that the Sports Republic gibbons will give him a contract extension. I can see us being stuck with Baz for years to come 😡🤬

You are spot on, the defence is and has been poor for several years. The individual players are ok as championship defenders. Collectively they are all over the place, terrible positionally, can’t stop a cross, can’t mark anyone consistently - which is unforgivable in the championship. Either they are not being coached properly, they are but they don’t listen, or the lack of on pitch organisation isn’t there and it’s every man for himself. We are crying out for a wise head in central defence to sort them out and organise them during the game. Should we go up this season, every single one of our defenders who played today would need replacing in the prem. THB is the only one who maybe could be coached to a better standard. In fact of the starting side today IMO, Jander, Scienza, Azaz and possibly THB are the only ones who would be good enough in the Prem. Add Fellows to that who was injured and the extent of the required rebuild is clear. Fast, strong, fit as butchers dogs players are required. We don’t have many of those currently.

well if we don’t go up, leaving it until next season on reduced parachute payments certainly won’t do us any favours….

Not his fault that Nathan Wood completely fucked it up.

Nathan Wood, step up and receive your completely shit defending award.
