can someone who plays FM26 post the ratings for our forward line, Armstrong, Archer and Downs am trying to see something here

This is a good point he doesnt look like he is busting a gut but maybe no matter how fast he runs he just is a dude who looks lazy. I do recall him making lots of runs in 1 game behind defenders for the ball to be played in behind but manning kept turning around and playing it back to CB's maybe he's thought why bother if no one is going to pass it lol

haven't read the thread soi won't apologies 🤣🤣 but Alfie said he's been trying to arrange a interview with spors this season and he has wanted to but it's not his decision but no. wonder who saying no ? rasmus ? vacuum man ?

someone who can hit a cows arse with a banjo, football skills do not matter

more people need to post like this boss, top info bro

Ive just remembered poch picks him for the us squad does that top trump a Norwich scout ?

Guys i've decided predicting scores is now beneath me. Elite predictors predict players and i am manifesting the shit out of this one. Damion Downs will score.

I wasnt trying to be harsh on stewart whove i actually liked but its a tad harsh on a 20yr old playing in a new country in a new shit team and is expected to hit the ground running. In the real world we would have a functioning striker and downs would be on bench and do cameos for 15-20mins as he learns, but alas this is not the saints way. I've realised i've become Downs champion tonight, fuck it i ride, he will score goals for us this season.

Guys i might be in the minority but still has us creating chances, apparently defending well according to the Xg table someone posted we should be 2nd. The issue is lack of finishing and personal mistakes.

no point discussing manager until we can stop personal mistakes and strikers who need the goalie to be elsewhere to score goals, otherwise its ground hog day

Missed it but i know jellert was a quad and 4-6 weeks, whats up with rostov ?

do the fans want us to keep archer on after his performance? Ross Stewart was a figure of fun for 2yrs and he's now the striker we apparently miss most.

Be there or be square bro

guys guys guys Bergkamp took until nov to score (v us) dont worry its gonna happen lol

whats that bollocks about manifesting things to happen, im going to try it. We will score goals and we will not be shit defensively in the same match, downs will play well in 1 game, a actual right back might not be injured and armstrong will stop combing his hair forward every 1min with his hand.

wasnt he spors must have buy early doors in the season, something is not adding up. I want us just to fucking score a few, its so fucking shit.

Regarding Downs there is defo young player in there as always he disappears when they join saints. Honestly archer is not giving anything as the central striker so i would say to downs he's gonna get 3-4 games no matter how he plays, see if that gives him confidence and hopefully he can create space for Leo/Armstrong etc to run into, we cant have 3 smurfs up top playing crosses into them. Last season with Koln this was his style. "He thrived on making curling runs in behind defenses (he did this for his goal during pre-season), using his timing, long strides, and pace to exploit gaps and stretch opposing backlines. His physical presence allowed him to excel in hold-up play, shielding the ball under pressure and linking up with teammates through quick, accurate short passes. On the ball, he showed growing confidence in dribbling, often beating defenders in 1v1 situations by attacking channels or cutting inside from wider areas to create chances."

honest question are we able to still loan a forward ?

Not being able to score when we have great chances is costing us. Last game defence played well, this game not so well but the lack of goals is not putting the other teams under pressure giving them the freedom to attack without consequence. Archer isnt doing anything in the games and i dont think we would lose anything if we gave downs the same run given neither of them currently inspire confidence but i would hope downs can improve. Also i didnt see many complaining about the formation when it was announced. Anyway will get rid of this result the usual way.

wait who was telling me about all the goals that these 2 score in the championship !!!!!!! Couldnt score in a brothel.

Well at least we have found our level. I dont put this one on the manager today, we absolutely smashed them, its just unfortunate we cant hit a cows arse with a banjo. Anyway much improved performance hopefully next game some one scores with their dick

come on bro lets be optimistic took bergkamp until Nov to score (hatrick v us)

Damn what does that make us, they are above us in the table

honestly the amount of balls in the box is excellent, the conversion not so much. Assume Downs comes on for Archer as the first change. Welly and Leo running the show down the left. Jellert and Jander and charles playing well
