Masterclass of how not to use subs from the clueless Selles. Handed them the game.

That's more like it 🙂 Panic stations resumed.

Knew Theo would score 🙂 Took them a long time to concede again after the offside goal - good work Saints, nearly held out.

Are we pressing for the winner?

They'll probably score in the time added on for VAR check.

Saudis on VAR 🙂

Fortunately we are already all but down so it doesn't matter but it's still infuriating.

Has Selles taken a big brown envelope from the Saudis?

Bringing on all those who were the most shit against Bmuff 🙂 You couldn't make it up.

Because Selles is the coach.

Typical Selles sub - bring on someone who is weak and ineffective when we are under the cosh.

Selles is clearly expecting a big defeat and has picked a side to limit the damage. Looks to me as though we'll go five at the back and probably have Alcaraz as a lone front man with the rest trying to pack out the midfield and hope for the odd quick break through Sulemana. 5-0 defeat would be a reasonable outcome today.

Time for a major rebuild and not just involving players and coaches. Can we please go back to a more traditional striped shirt - the current design is hideous. Somehow we need to reconfigure St Marys so that the home support covers the whole of one end to create a better atmosphere and stick away fans somewhere that makes it harder for them to generate so much noise. We need a new manager along with a set of good coaches who pride themselves on having the fittest team in the division, who have fast, progressive attacking beliefs coupled with looking to get every player moving off the ball and getting between the lines - no more static robots who are quite happy to hide from the ball. Clear out the dead wood and introduce some experience so we have a better blend of younger and older players and bring in some bigger, faster more aggressive types. This will encourage more exciting football, energise the crowd and get the fans back on side. I'm hoping Jason Wilcox will bring some fresh ideas to help rejuvenate the club. If we do nothing we are headed only one way so an urgent reset is needed during the summer and let's have a team we can be proud of again - it's been too long.

He got totally mixed up - instead of threading the ball through the eye of a needle he's been shitting through it.

Apparently Semmens was inconsolable at the end of the game. Somebody told him he's got 4 extra away matches to go to next season so will be away from his family even more.

Doesn't bode well for us on Sunday. The 9-0 record could well go.

That was a very tough and embarrassing watch. We are so weak, feeble and poor all over the pitch and completely out of our depth. Thank feck we're going down because I couldn't stand another season like this one. At least we'll get a few more wins in the Championship although I don't think we'll be anywhere near promotion. Selles must go because again he picked the wrong players tonight and left it too long to change things. A rebuild is needed but keep Ankersen well away from it.

Now making them look like Man City.

Nothing more predictable than that.

Need a goal so we bring on Lyanco. JWP off - suspect words have been said in the dressing room.

That was about as dire as it gets - we are clueless and so weak and feeble. We need something up front so Selles may as well throw on Adams and Sulemana now. We don't look like scoring and you get the impression Bournemouth will get one. Fortunately it doesn't really matter because this display just reinforces the fact that this side don't belong in the top league. Very poor.

I see Man Utd won the 2nd/3rd place FA Cup play off today. Pretty drab game but, as usual, Utd got the rub of the green even though Brighton were marginally the better side.

Why not take off the invisible man Adam Armstrong then? He contributed next to nothing while on the pitch - I thought he even lacked effort which is the least that should be expected.

On the flip side he might have scored a hat-trick if we'd kept him on - that's the opposing positive scenario.

3 match ban is for straight red. If we were worried he'd pick up a second yellow that would have been a one match ban. Not ideal but we could live with it. We can't be basing decisions on what might happen because we're not sat in mid table obscurity. I'm sure Arsenal were delighted to see Alcaraz taken off at half time.
