Makes you wonder what the fuck he’s been doing since January. Window has been open since June and he’s managed to find us two completely irrelevant, pointless reserve players after the witnessing the worse season in our history. Not fucking good enough.

Knowing our idiotic, confused recruitment, we’ll probably sign another two central defenders.

Indeed. We must be one of the few clubs in history to have got promoted and somehow made our squad worse! Incredible really.

Almost like we only view them as saleable assets, isn’t it. The Sport Republic way.

Very real possibility that we go into the derby below them. Losing to those wankers would sum up the SR period of ownership quite nicely I feel. And it’s looking increasingly likely as it stands.

I remember reading all these comments about Mara, Stewart, BBD, Archer, Mayuka, Carrillo et al. Christ go back far enough and I remember them about Tomas Pekhart and Jordan Robertson. No amount of time is going to make Damion Downs a prolific striker.

This has probably fucked me off more than anything else. We finished on 12 points last season, the squad needed a complete overhaul from top to bottom. And what do we get? Two nonsense signings who absolutely do not improve us. It’s absolutely baffling, but with these utter jokers I don’t know why I’m surprised.

Who is, coincidentally, sat on his arse doing nothing right now. And still comfortably better than any option we have.

I feel sorry for Still because recruitment is a complete disaster. But lose to Pompey and it’s a long way back for him.

Absolutely abysmal, some of the worst forward play I’ve ever seen by a Saints player in his minutes so far.

We don’t finish anywhere except mid table with that selection of utter bollocks, no matter how many stats MLG throws around.

Spors has been a fucking disaster so far, completely clueless as many predicted. 10 days to save his job.

Tried to calm down now but proving difficult. That was worryingly bad. Stoke were everything we weren’t - clinical, hard to beat and street wise. They had a better 3 up front and a far, far better goalkeeper. We have no patterns of play, I can’t tell you what Still is trying to do. Five at the back is ridiculous, even with that we’re conceding on the break so renders it pointless anyway. We’re pumping balls into Armstrong who has no hope, play Stewart off him FFS. We’re a complete mess really and the recruitment has been awful. Spors proving to be everything we’d feared, despite MLG’s nonsense about him. We’ve had since May and this is what we’re stuck with. It’s fucking shambolic. Three weeks until those cunts at home, and lose to them and Still can fuck off for all I care.

Downs, Stewart, Armstrong, BBD and Archer wouldn’t win a fucking raffle, let alone promotion. Forget it

Absolutely fucking atrocious that was. Disgusting. Recruitment an absolute disgrace, fucking sort it out you useless wankers and preferably before those scab cunts come in September.

Anyone with half a fucking brain could see our recruitment was a shit show. An utter shit show. Spors can fuck off

Awful. Our recruitment has been an absolute fucking disgrace

Another sitter missed ffs

An absolute sitter missed from Downes, criminal.

Awful from Downes, turned into their entire midfield.

Plain as day that 5 at the back is the problem. Just giving up midfield completely unnecessarily.

Pretty dire so far, by far second best.

I can only think Still is blinded by the 25 goals Armstrong got in the Championship last time. Hardly any of which were as a lone striker, if any.

Strange selection to be honest. Slightly concerning that anyone thinks Armstrong is a lone striker, let alone our manager.

Only what Paul Joyce is reporting, and he’d know from an Everton perspective.
