What exactly have we spent 50 million on… appalling

Manning was booked because he got so frustrated as downs couldn’t control a football.. he’s really poor. What was spors thinking.. he’d struggle to look decent at AFC Totton. fine margins but saints never the right side of them.

Archer is just easily pushed off the ball. He’s small but stocky and should be stronger.

The big issue for me as if we do get promoted I don’t see at present any of our new signings or any of our current squad being remotely good enough to make the step up. it’s early days I know but the latter players we brought in look very lightweight and easily bullied off the ball. We lack real pace outside and no ability to go past a player. Only player at present in the squad that can is edoize… we spent a small fortune on I’m not sure what.

In this league we needed strength, size and power and the last few signings have been anything but… Murphy was down the road, a winger on the up, decent on the ball, has pace and can deliver. SR go and buy unknowns who’ve no idea what the championship is all about. SR are destroying this club and the owner needs to go and sell up. fans need to get off the players backs and tear the directors box apart if things get worse.

Not even fecking marked…. Our coaches have been fecking useless. Absolutely embarrassing. Not style of play and no fecking clue what we are trying to achieve

This is so unbelievably shite…. wingers that keep coming inside and can’t beat their man. Not won any headers in opposition box zero support for the striker look absolutely toothless up front… not having a decent striker is killing us new players look very average and non remotely capable of stepping up if we ever got promoted we look better with five at the back than we do with this formation robinson looks better than Azaz mccarthy has to start have they bothered training this week? big 45 mins coming or fans will start turning

If our full backs had pushed high in that formation we’d have been so open to counter attacks.. did you not notice pompeys wingers starting positions.. very high and wide, especially Murphy.

If you play a 4 that’s the downside… they won’t get forward and if you noticed Murphy’s position he hung out high and wide..

Pompey better organised, moved the ball quicker and on the balance had the better chances. We look absolutely blunt up top, slow in possession and just a complete mess with no recognisable style of play…

This game will Be won or lost on who keeps their head.. flying into challenges in the first 10 mins could easily see one team down to 10 or 9… with saints with pacy wingers I’d invite those challenges.. get a player booked and then start playing in and around and hope to force a second.. my concern is Stephen’s.. who’s not the wisest.

Apparently member of saints board informing press box on Saturday that no striker incoming as to dial down any expectations..

Still should be banging on the door wanting a top striker.. it’s the difference between going up and not going up..

I really hope and actually think West Ham will go down!!!

McCarthy was very good and certainly fills me with more confidence than baz but BBD was shocking… by playing him tonight has drastically reduced any chance we have of shifting him.

Charles and downes way off it again.. area of concern. Not seen one of them dominate at all this season. But overall it’s a mess. Back 5 doesn’t work.

Our midfield two of downes and Charles were abysmal today and taking off Robinson lost us the only chance of taking a player on. Fraser was totally worthless as a winger today… poor floated crosses and didn’t beat his man once. On the initial first few showings our recruitment is poor once again. Also the 3 at the back has to stop..

There’s nothing I’ve really seen that suggests that dibling will Be a huge success in the premier league… I think anyone paying over 40m is taking a huge risk.

We had no out ball today hence we kept losing it in midfield. Needed a striker to hold up the ball and bring others into play. BBD would have been the sensible choice to offer that but it shows how far away he really is. Need a big week in terms of outgoings and incomings

Second half has been a complete mess.. totally disjointed and as an attacking force terrible

It’s on prime

Swansea FC

Pretty poor lack of ambition really…

The thing about Dodd was that he was pretty much first choice under various managers.. and racked 100’s of premier league appearances. He was miles better than benali or Stephen’s

Heard he might be going to hoofenheim.. they’re a dark horse!!!
