Only two games but it seems the outlay over the summer has made zero difference. We are weaker than before.

We seem to be all over the place after the goal. Totally lost our grip on the game.

We cant defend full stop.

First tests for defence. Failed both GK bailed them out.

Great energy and pace from Ketchup.

Even game so far. We've had better chances and they should have had a red card with Stu being taken out when through on goal. Slow game but we've created a few bits and pieces. Defence yet to be properly tested.

Takes Stu out first for me.

Yes we aren't very compact or neat. Players getting familiar with each other I guess.

Different owners now but similar happened when we let Fonte go one January if I remember right. We were left with Stephens and Yoshida as first choice for half a season.

The only way is up..

Well, it's hard to get a likeness when your chosen material is papier-mâché.

Does look like a great prospect. Hope it works out of course, and that he's a great player for us. But it's another gamble to add to the summer collection. Can't help but remain a little concerned about the season ahead.

Summarises my feelings presently. We are taking a big (calculated) risk that the youngsters we've signed will step up. If they don't it could be extremely embarrassing.

Not too bad a start. Not bad finish except last game. Need to invest a lot more to improve the team if we want to compete though.

Against Scotland.

Only June the 11th but so far the window has a very "Saintsy" feel to it. Problems in every position and we are gambling on youth signings and offering new contracts for those just hanging on. Plenty of time to go eh.

Best bet is to throw JWP on and try to win a free kick at this point 😀

They aren't playing, so far. It's been really awful and disjointed. Too many ok the beach already.

Huddersfield fans must be livid. The first pen shout was a dive, but the second was one blatant contact. No idea why it wasn't properly reviewed. But, in the end they did fail to really test the Forest keeper(s).

Oh dear. My memory is truly awful. Was only a few years ago .. 🤭

Not that fussed myself. But since Huddersfield finished third and haven't been in the Prem before (or have they?). And as stated are most likely to go down again. I guess I could get behind them. Forest have been really good this year though too. Both teams worthy.

Looking forward now, not back. Up to the owners to sort this out. We are about to find out a lot about them.

Any other manager at any other club is gone after a run like that. He has shown he's incapable of turning around a poor run time and time again. No ideas left.

Players have totally given up. Just half heartedly playing it around. LCity have barely turned up and still thrashed us out of sight.

Thankfully the season is over. We have to see how the summer goes and hope next year we don't continue like this. Got to stop the rot.
