In other good news up this way Gloucester, Bishops Cleeve beat Sholing 2-1 today as well. All very good but none of it really compensates for Saints dropping points.

Trying to be positive then,today is one more point than we'd have had if Bazunu was in goal.

Or get us there ?

A bit Martinesque there.

Why would their captain go to the chairman knowing full well the manager would be out the door in about three months anyway ?

Irrespective of whether it should have been Rohl or not, the fact we won't pay for a manager we want, as opposed to one who is conveniently available, is even more ridiculous when you think of how much has been wasted on player recruitment.

Have only seen him play live in one match, the skates game. Difficult and too soon to judge. But a fleeting thought during the match was tgat here’s a bloke who came with a good reputation as a bit of a stand out at his previous club(s). Will Saints get the best out of him or play him out of position from where he’s made an impact before ? If we do then it could be like Alan McLoughlan with an extra ‘0’ on the purchase price. I’m expecting him to get among the goals once he’s in more of a settled side. Would be better if he had a couple of striking options in front of him mind.

Or the opposition defenders caught out playing Legoball and gifting possession

Source credited as reluctantnicko, so perhaps a pinch of salt called for. Irrespective of who it might be, seems a bit counter productive to say players - who’ve had a poor start to the season- fear results might get worse. Simple response from the Chairman/DoF is “well it’s down to you fuckers to see that they don’t’, now get on with it…”

GK and CF. (Cut and pasted every window since 2022)

What if we’re still looking over our shoulders towards the drop zone ?

Yes, credit to Still, especially for dropping Bazunu ( Hopefully with instructions not to pass it to his feet and piss about at the back)

Think you’re right, a player I had hoped we might be in for, but didn’t think he’d be available for us. Expected £15m plus, and EPL bound. But think Revolution has a point that we might not be able to take advantage of his crossing.

Hojbjerg and Lamina worthy considerations as well. And having mentioned the word “worthy” , Frank Worthington is another shout.

Does it hve to be a song or a chant ? If a chant then Mark Dennis, just for he cry of Pyscho...

Definitely. Was there anything for John McGrath ?

Think you've stumbled on something in mentioning Reading. This is from our promotion season 2011/12: Anyone saying we're losing touch with the top of the table after six games really needs to consider this. Am i expecting us to go on a charge up the league ? No, but it could be done. I'll rework my rallying cry from Lego's time with us: "Sort it out Still, you cunt".

Won't Stephens have another two at the end of this season ? (Unless his current deal is two, with an option of a third). Bazunu, I can't see us wanting to allow this prize asset (as the club see it) going into a final year, then walking away for free. Deluded know,.

Wouldn’t mind not going up with our current set up this season, but the obvious issues as others have identified: losing better players every year, more difficult next season, and years after.

Any advantage we had was undone with our gamble on an untried and inexperienced manager. This was then compounded by our usual speculative approach to transfers ( Downs the obvious one).

Closely followed by “Dixon and Speedie will score more goals than Alan Shearer…” Definitely and ‘cut out and keep’ quote from Mr Spors. Would sell well on a t-shirt in the club shop.

Do you mean as in 3-0 up at half time, or ….…. an earlier one (2005 ?) when we were also 3-0 up at half time, but second half didn’t go to plan (under ‘Arry)

You wouldn’t think one of our main recruitment team had previously been working in Germany would you ?

Perhaps a loan to Goztepe might be on the cards in January

Has looked pure dog turd so far. Awaiting him to burst into form, become unplayable and go on a scoring run so some posters can make Sadio Mane comparisons.
