Midfield_General

He was shite against Ipswich

We just need Spors to sell him the project and the wonderful club that is Saints, maybe show him round West Quay He won't be able to help falling in love

What's Mkhitaryan up to? He'd do

It seems you have a suspicious mind

I’m going to stick my neck out and say a decision won’t be made tonight.

You could also have had ignorant, unfunny, or just plain old thick as pigshit. Take your pick.

I’ll explain it. The joke is that because he’s African he lies about his age, is greedy, is lazy, can’t speak English and can’t play in the cold. It’s pretty sophisticated stuff.

He’s already contributed more in one match than Sulemana did in about two seasons. Going to really enjoy watching him play this season and on his showing so far he’ll be our next big money success story. He could easily be the breakout star of this season’s Championship. Skillful, direct, works hard, has an end product and has got a goal in him. Already look forward to seeing his name on the team sheet.

If Stewart plays that midfield and forward line is just ridiculously good at this level. Even with our car crash of a defence we should win if we can put those six out. I hope we can start like that, even if it's just for one game before the crown jewels get sold. We won't though. It will be three at the back again and having to sacrifice one of the attacking players.

Sick of this bloke already and he doesn’t even play for us

Like all his brilliant 'jokes' he has got the basics of it wrong (tagged the wrong person) and has to explain it afterwards. Side-splitting, I'm sure you'll agree.

I know. So just to be clear, even when two of our other forwards are unavailable, of the three players you said were definitely good enough to score the goals for a promotion chasing Championship team: One isn't even good enough to get on the pitch One is only good enough to be given 20 minutes off the bench, and contributed no shots either on or off target One played 83 minutes and contributed no shots either on or off target These are the players you said are good enough 🤣🤣🤣

So who still thinks that Armstrong, Archer and BBD are really good attacking options to rely on at this level? @Matthew Le God I think you were telling us they’d be really good because they’ve all scored goals in the championship before?

He works hard but achieves so little playing there

For them?

Nor me. Him, Robinson and Fraser have been the bright spots. We need to get them ball as much as we can because we look OK going forward but shocking at the back.

HT. 1-1. Lucky to be level as we've only really created one proper chance which we scored from. Their goal an absolute joke from us. Welington, Quarshie, THB and Downes having a competition for who can be the biggest liability. Midfield getting overrun defensively, not helped by our constantly giving the ball away in dangerous positions. Ipswich just strolling through the middle of us at will. Quarshie looks incredibly uncomfortable on the ball. Shocking first touch and can't find a pass to save his life. Armstrong completely ineffective down the middle. Has had zero shots on goal. What a surprise. Bright spots are Fraser and Robinson who are both playing well. Need to get them and Fernandes on the ball as much as possible and find a way of scoring another goal. Would probably swap Welington off for Manning before he gets sent off. Downes needs to be very careful too. We desperately need a focal point at CF. Dare I say it but I'd chuck BBD in there and just tell him to make a physical nuisance of himself and hold it up, and try to get Fraser, Fernandes and Robinson playing off him. Massive defensive improvement needed second half or we're not getting anything out this. Maybe Dibling will come on and put in £45m performance and win it for us on his own.

First good move of the game - goal. Excellent from Fernandes, Fraser, Robinson.

Shambles

Well there have been plenty saying that Armstrong, Archer and BBD are a perfectly good set of attacking options in the Championship because they've all had seasons where they've scored lots of goals at this level. Looks like today we'll find out if they were right.

Fucking Armstrong down the fucking middle for fucks sake. Other than that, not a bad side.

Sounds like they are about to sign Meghoma to sort out their issues at left back

Fellows beat his man and cut back the cross for the WBA goal

How about £7m, which is what he actually cost?

He is being passed to. He's had the ball passed to him three yards out in the centre of goal twice and he's missed both of them. It's not writing him off to say that he's had a poor start, but it's bizarre how people on here are blaming everyone except him for his performances so far. Maybe, just maybe, it's not everyone else's fault, he's a work in progress and needs to do some work to improve.
