The only two on target efforts were in the middle of the goal so I'm assuming routine saves even for Baz.

People are interpreting this to match their own agendas. At no point does he say anything about Saints being a basket case (I know we are) nor does he allude to a divided dressing room (which I think there is). He's throwing neither the club nor the dressing room under the bus and all he says is he wanted a fresh start with a side fighting for a play-off spot. Nothing to see here.

Surely even SR wouldn't be bonkers enough to sell AA and not bring in a replacement. Sure, given their track record the replacement might be crap but they will sign someone if AA goes.

I wonder how long it took the genius to think of that one. I swear he lives in his own little world where everything is the direct opposite of what it should be. Trust us to get shackled to this nutty professor.

Yeah and I'll just throw in the weather - our poor wee lambs hate playing when it's wet and windy. They'll all be hoping to be one of those left out tonight.

If true it's even worse than I thought 😞

Who'd have thought it? Anyway, there's nothing hipster about taking the sensible option - it doesn't make you look smart.

He scored two against us so any Saints fan who hasn't seen him must be living on the moon.

Agree. I don't see how they can let him prepare the team for the Pompey game if we lose tomorrow.

Looks like it'll be two from Saints, Charlton, WBA, Blackburn, Pompey and Oxford.

He can't be any good cos clearly Ankersen doesn't rate him.

Don't think anyone is creaming themselves over Brighton and Bournemouth and yes, we had a spell when we did sensible business in the transfer market. Unfortunately those times are long gone and we are light years behind the two south coast Prem clubs and now in free fall.

You don't say which season or in which division.

Now that is funny 🙂

Maybe some good experienced pros don't follow the clique like sheep and so the clique gets them moved on.

Love to see a fitness competition between us and Bournemouth. They'd absolutely slaughter us.

Yeah, agree and he's quite a big unit.

Basically any player on the salaries they get that can be seen to be not arsed to work hard or bottling tackles should be read the riot act and warned to buck up. If they don't they should be quickly bombed out.

Maybe you should have a look at the replay from behind the goal. There is a clear opportunity for Azaz to chip the ball just inside the post - it's a very simple chance and Jander was not in the way as you claim. It was probably harder to try a delicate pass to Jander particularly as he should have known this would give the Hull defenders the extra second they used to block his effort. Once again it's just very poor decision making in a crucial moment.

Has he never heard of getting his foot under the ball? - I believe the technique is fairly common and think it might be known as chipping eg 'chip the keeper' I've seen it done and it can be quite effective.

Explains why he constantly wants to interfere.

He'll fit right in here then.

Even if that's what he wanted to do he'd never have been allowed to do it. The clique of players who continue to run things at Staplewood need to be identified and got rid of - I think we know who most of them are. Until Ankersen does that (he's probably the only one who can) and then appoints a respected manager with experience and gives him carte blanche nothing will change. Unfortunately Ankersen will not sort this out because him and his massive ego are a large part of the problem.

Just watched back the highlights. Can anyone explain why Azaz elected to pass to Jander rather then shoot - it's in the first half after Scienza's downward header. Azaz has the ball at his feet about 2-3 yards from goal, their keeper is face down on the floor and rather than thumping the ball high into the net Azaz passes to Jander and Hull have time to put in a block. Madness and an example of players not taking responsibiity.

All spot on but it aint happening while Rasmus and SR are still here.
