George Burley back in charge of team tombola. Those were the days.

I'm sure Ronaldo et al said exactly the same when they went off to the M.E.

He might have lost his mojo and maybe he wasn’t the future, but f me, he’s 10x anyone we’ve had since.

L’Oreal throwing him under the bus to deflect his own ass. Man-management 101.

If he’s the same level as Manning then that’s why neither of them are playing.

He’s continually proven he’s no CB. No surprise really.

The randomness was how far out of their normal position he could play them!

Martin has dug out the random squad number generator machine as used by Burley and Puel.

He’s not quite the Mr Bouncy of a few weeks ago. Nor is his hair. Tough times for both.

The abysmal defending is just the symptom caused by the ridiculous playing-out-from-the-back tactic that we are not skilled enough to operate.

Comedy gold.

You realise they developed a flu vaccine for exactly that reason, right?

Just listened to the Jason Wilcox interview. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0gb997f I assume it’s already been covered here. Sorry, only scrolled back a couple of pages. He says there could be 3 more outs to come (to leagues where the transfer window is still open?)

CET or BST?

I've only seen Charles at CB for the Bournemouth pre-season friendly. He was way out of his depth. One game out-of-position is not a great base for judgement, appreciated, but I didn't see anything to suggest he could fill that role in that game.

ABS. Anywhere But Saints.

I’ve only seen him in that position in the pre-season against Bournemouth and he was well out of this depth. Was that a one-off?

Do we still have the black box to fall back on?

Shame Michael Bentine’s no longer with us. He’d be the perfect Manager.

RM cut a frustrated figure in yesterday’s pre-match press conference when talking about the anaemic squad and the current one-way traffic of personnel out the door.

Not been impressed with Manning so far. Especially as he seemed to be in demand from several clubs.

Sensed frustration from RM to the outgoings, lack of incomings and current depth of squad. ‘it would be nice to be left with some players’ and other comments.
