Lot of outgoing chat in here....Anything on the incoming list? Because we might need 1, 2, 6 players pretty soon.

Yeah can't disagree with that but it was clear to anyone that had seen him play that he was as vanilla and as middle of the pack as they come.

You can't say that around here, team of the league player last season or something!!!

Conversely it could be utter shite. Who knows, eh?

I watched it first thing this morning so clearly still blurry eyed. Does highlight how shit both are mind!

Just realised AM was the pony last night. So reassuring

Was pony again last night. Wonderful.

He's pony. This is all.

Comfortable with him being in that role is something of a climb down from "stand out" and "being in the team of the year". Appreciate you didn't say it but some of the hyperbole on here for a very average player is probably just a testament to how shit we are these days. But lets not colour it any other way, he's still meh. As are about 8 other players from our starting line up.

He did not. He was average.

We only buy keepers from City

We should probably be worried then as we aren't even starting with a 1st choice keeper and striker

You're both right. Doesn't that make a nice change for Saintsweb.

It's that bad this board is almost harmonious

We have two of the useless cunts up front.

You'll need a spreadsheet with xG on it.

So hold up, we need a goal. But we don't have an actual striker on the pitch. Right. I'm right aren't I? Am I? Is it me?

No idea why it's Lavia coming off mind. Poor decisions again. Thought this team would look better to be fair but their collective absences from the first team seems to be the only reason I think they're better Let that sink in. Bednarek is one of our better options. Fuck. Me.

For those who've read the Elyounoussi thread, this is who would start in front of him IMO. For clarity, Lyanco would not.

Let's be honest, this is the fault of Selles as much as anyone else. Making the same fucking personnel errors as Jones, and in fact he's actually doing little different except maybe a slight formation change. It's awful sideways football, shit subs and little to no game plan. We played a bereft Chelsea last week where you often get a reaction from players anyway (because it's big opposition) and then staked our prem survival on it. Tit.

They're not COMPLETELY incompetent then.

If nothing else it's highlighted how much we ALL hated Jones; no one has yet suggested we sacked him too soon

No, I say this because of Jones. The two aren't exclusive. Sigh!

Honestly, I think this is the right call by the club, regardless of what I think of Jesse as a coach. His appointment is a potential PR nightmare if nothing else and possibly a footballing one.

He took over Leeds when they were 16th, 2 points above the drop zone. He left them in 17th. He didn't save them, he merely maintained the status quo and then sent them backwards a season later and was somewhat fortunate that ourselves, Everton (who I expect to rally) and Bournemouth were way way way worse.. His previous team have conceded only 2 less than us, and scored 10 more. They haven't improved under him and as a result of his failure to improve them, and with fans increasingly on his back, he was fired. Thus, a failure. Not that hard to comprehend that really, is it? Edit: I see that the term is being reported as short term until the end of the season which I am much happier about than the long term, because, in reality I think we're fucked either way. But at least this gives us some room to manoeuvre come the end of the season and re-assess.
