Maybe Alex and Tonda have a lot more in common than one might think 😉

Mostly said tounge in cheek, but what is the point in keeping on losing and picking up the odd draw. He is a dead man walking in my eyes.

...and now he's had a stab at it.

Get some better fans in as well while you're at it! 😄

Which is what the sporting director, one vision idea was supposed to counter. If you have an aligned idea in the leadership of the club, it should make it easier to change managers (or head coaches), without disrupting the team too much. Somehow SR are getting the worst of both worlds 😄 Oh, and Tonda out! He probably won't win more than 5 games the rest of the season if he is kept in place, so might as well cut our losses now.

That is the average rating (and goals/assists) so far this season of the players that started the last game. The guy who got sent off got a worse rating in the game, but Downs was still shit, and second worst with his 5.32

Sorry.. I'm too slow. Maybe my brain is fried to?

Nope, they look good. The only fried thing might be his brain, though.

When we are playing shit, the players not getting minutes are allways the best players we have 😉

That is correct.

Hey! We are a player trading organization. It's not about the profit, it's about the trading! ...and we be tradin'

There has to be some good deals to be made out there in a World Cup year. A big striker that is not playing enough, and wants to make sure he gets in the World Cup squad. Like that Downs fella, who Hamburg just signed on loan. He would have been pefect 😉

Yeah, but I think it comes from the classic "whoever is not playing is the answer to our problems" syndrome that a lot of supporters usually come up with.

Because SR hired Whitey Grandad to oversee the goalkeeping department…

I liked this bit: If coaches were once chefs, they are now more akin to Deliveroo drivers: not really responsible for the food, but still ultimately answerable if it arrives cold or leaks out of the box.

Yeah, even good (or decent) football people gets the manager wrong sometimes. We have now made so many mistakes, that we have to get it 100% right next time. Everything has to "click". I have no faith in SR to get it right, but the law of averages must surley be in our favor now? That is what my faith or hope is down to now...

We do that quite a lot on here!

He might be a better fit than I first thought... We do love us some hipster vibes here at Southampton SR!

I agree, but when I saw the clip, my feeling was that Leo let the guy vent his frustration. Not saying it was right, but I thought Leo stood there, all alone, his cowardly so-called team-mates nowhere to bee seen, and took it as a champ. I think (and hope) that he knows it wasn't really at him specifically, he was just taking it on behalf of the team. As they all should have done after a game like that.

I think you are massively overestimating Bazunu's ability to block shots... even if he is standing right in front of them 😄

I don't see that at all. Personally, I would rather have players that have a little fight and temper in them, but all I see are shrinking fucking cunts...

Given up on Baz in goal, and let's just chuck him up front?

Got a good sauce or just feeling a little peckish perhaps?

Well, we are not picking up points anymore, are we? The gap up is increasing, but the gap down is slowly creeping up on us...

Totally agree with this, bar the Ankerson focus. The whole of SR (personell and ethos) needs to be purged from the club. I might be in a minority on Ankersen (allthough he is so easy to dislike), because I think it is the whole of SR that is the problem, not just one man, and I don't think it will be enough to simply get him out- Even if he left all of Sport Republic. For me, if Dragan was to stay on as owner, he would have to ditch the whole SR concept. Seems unlikely.
