Well done the Manager today. The guys were busted against West Ham and many needed a rest. He has a very poor squad to pick from, however he is working very hard to do the best he can with this bunch of players.

Very good post indeed, good team and structured thinking based on carefully watching the games and not just the ball like several do...

Yes a ‘few’ good moments with the ball but in the poor side without it..... -

Sorry no full back can operate without some help and Armstrong was nowhere to be seen...... Armstrong did not press so I’m not sure which game you saw or if you may just be a ball watcher. -
Fans are entitled to valued opinions and are not ‘embarrassing’ The post is entirely accurate too! The team did very well despite Fox.

A few people saying Armstrong played well..... He is ok on the ball but off the ball he was very poor in my view. He doesn’t show for the ball enough and last night did not join in with the ‘press’ hardly once leaving Ings to tire himself out while he stood and watched. Ings spoke to him several times about that during the game but still Armstrong didn’t press. This contributed also to Antonio having the freedom of St Mary’s in the first half with Armstrong nowhere to be seen. So yes ok on the ball but ok but off it not contributing enough and does hide at times. -

One can only assume you are about ten .... In your defence. -

What’s the matter mate that was a fair and accurate summary! We were second best in every department tonight. There was no press, no support at all for the guy on the ball, Armstrong was a complete passenger though they all looked tired you have to say. We were taught a serious lesson in pressing and how to offer options for the player in the ball tonight. Well done to West Ham who were excellent. -
Did Clyde Best score a couple for them ?

Does anyone really think it matters? He is clearly not very good.... -
Of all our priorities surely this is the lowest one....

This makes sense....

It has to be Poch. Waiting until the summer tells us the new guy is currently employed and they have coveted Poch for a while now. It will be him. He will raid Tottenham and we can sit back and enjoy the Spurs dismay and also their subsequent fall from grace ....

A really excellent read, thank you for posting this .... -
Bloody hell, a slight over reaction lol ...

That looks worrying ...

Precisely

The analogy doesn’t work at all I’m afraid. They earn in a week what most of us earn in a year, if we are very fortunate. If you want to earn that kind of money then you can expect to work at company’s leisure and not yours!

So for an 8.00 pm kick off they train at night - really....

Possible re-siting of away fans at SMS
captainchris replied to Ivan Katalinic's 'tache's topic in The Saints
What an odd answer.. What on Earth has safe standing got to with this subject? Yes move the away area to another part of the ground. In this way we fill one end and generate more noise which is important.... -
So, we don’t have control of the ball or the match and we bring on immobile Charlie - to do what exactly? Why did we play a flat back four tonight also? Sorry Kelvin but really not the brightest decisions.

How about a string of poor performances over the last year......

Hughes is ‘CLEARLY’ not able to coach..... His lack of input to the defence is errr ‘indefensible’
