Please can you explain how Les has messed up if a number of deals fell through because of injury and reasons out of SFC's control. We dont want to get in players who in the long term are not going to be good aquisitions for the club . A Cup Final and a top 10 finish is hardly a failure with a young squad a new manager out of form strikers and injuries to key players VVD Austin and Boufel
-
I dont think Les norsed up but I do think that Long and Jrod norsed up in the first half of the season by failing to score many goals and Les is not a clairvoyant as he did not realise that Austin would be badly injured. As the club plays with only one striker having Long Jrod and Austin was sufficient I would have thought. With regard to Fonte yes it would have been great to get a replacement but if no suitable one was available the club decided they would go to end of the season with VVD Yoshi Stephens and Gardos which has got us to Wembley and will probably get us a top 10 finish which I think is reasonable. There is no point in getting players in if they are not in the long term going to significantly improve the team like Gabby is probably going to do
-
Very true but I feel players like JWP Yoshi Cedric have probably improved but we have had injuries to our influential players like Austin Boufel and now VVD. What with goals being missed it has not been the most lucky of seasons but we have done well in the Cup getting to Wembley after beating four Premier League teams I always doubted that a team can continually improve but I think it will next season if we can get a CB and top class AM and keep VVD
-
I dont understand why it is a cockup it is unfortunate that VVD is injured but getting in any old CB is not a solution We will just have to grin and bear it and hope for the best- injuries and bad luck happen that is football If our important players Boufel Austin and VVD get injured we are not going to have a successful season but that said if we finish in the top ten and perform well at Wembley it will be one of our best seasons ever.

How is it a balls up if there are no decent CBs available who want to come to SFC?
-
Perhaps he was helping his knackered and injured players and thinking of the big picture we do have another two games next week which we have a chance of winning
-
I think Yoshi Romeu and Tadic need a rest maybe Gardos Reed
-
We have not yet conceded a goal in the EFL this season A pretty nervy last 20 mins though

As usual your post is nonsense and inaccurate and appears to be based on raw emotion and little intellectual understanding During the campaign, it was not made abundantly clear that a vote to leave the EU would mean leaving the single market. Although Boris Johnson said UK will 'still have access to single market’ despite Brexit http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-eu-referendum-single-market-brexit-a7104846.html The referendum wasn’t legally binding, but there’s plenty of scope for argument about whether politicians should feel obliged to implement the result anyway. https://fullfact.org/europe/was-eu-referendum-advisory/ There is the likelihood that the standard of living will fall post Brexit as the increase in inflation indicates with today Heineken and Carlsberg follow makers of Carling and Budweiser in hiking cost of their beers in face of weak pound you may not drink but I do I agree that Cameron and Osborne made their positions untenable through their shrill warnings of dire consequences but that was a continuation of the failed austerity policy which thanks to Brexit has changed slightly. Economists' did not forecast of doom they forecasted that the fall in the pound would lead to inflation interest rises and loss of jobs which is happening https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jan/25/brexit-economy-weak-pound-inflation-jobs-market By the way where is all that money for the NHS another Brexit lie “I have never used the £350million figure myself because I don’t accept it,” say Jeremy Hunt The Tory Party does not always do what is best for the country it usually does what is best for the Tory Party for instance it only had the Refendum to appease its right wing We now have a PM who is so desperate to hold on to an unelected position she is being dominated by failures with axes to grind. Duncan Smith the most pathetic Tory leader in history who believes anything he thinks is right and is untruthful Liam Fox whose expenses claims and morals are dubious to say the least, David Davies who failed his leadership campaign. And has been sulking ever since Not forgetting Boris who'd sell his grandmother for a top job. It's no wonder this lot don't want scrutiny! I think Parliament should ensure this Brexit doesn't end up in the country falling to utter ****, and be given the chance to see and hear of any deal and vote on whether it would work or not, and you just want full balls-to-the wall 'yes Theresa i'm your gimp and you can do whatever you like and I won't say a word about it' mentality?

Most people dont want the Government to pass laws without scrutiny by Parliament that is acting as a dictatorship the Referendum Bill was badly formulated by a weak and arrogant PM who assumed that the UK would stay in the EU. Nothing was in the Bill relating to what events would happen after a Leave vote as it was only advisory and the result could have been ignored but the ruling from the Supreme Court sets out what should happen next. Only a fool would allow a government to do what ever it wanted to do with Brexit because it is the most important event to be discussed in Parliament since the Second World War and is going to take a long time a lot of money and a lot of debate to make certain that people like you and me have the same standard of living with decent jobs that we have had in the recent past. Although in likelihood the standard of living after Brexit is going to less than it would have been if we had not left the EU but with luck now that Parliament is involved it is not going to be bad as described by George Osborne and David Cameron in Project Fear If there had been no court action and Brexit was passed on Royal Prerogative Governments could pass other controversial legislation without the scrutiny of Parliament Brexit is going to happen but the final settlement needs to be agreed by Parliament to be in the best interest of the country and its people and not in the best interests of the right wing of the Tory Party many of which want to cut the rights of the British worker in order to give more profit to their donors.

And was the longest game I ever saw at Dell after terry Curran scored after about 10mins
-
If Mrs May had not appealed the case Article 50 could have been passed probably Dont you think it is a good idea for us to have the best Brexit as nobody who voted leave had an idea of all the ramifications that would be entailed.
-
I dont think Man U have ever beaten us at Wembley but I have seen Saints beat Man U at Wembley so there is always a chance
-
He is one of the fastest defenders in the country http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-leagues-20-fastest-players-9135788 Like all players he gets better with regular games and no doubt will improve further
-
I would like 5 too but we also need to think about the Liverpool game
-
Remainers are not certain of about anything but they are doubtful that the UK will get a good trade deal with the US doubtful that foreign investment for jobs will continue and doubtful that inflation will be good for the UK they are also doubtful that leaving the EU is good for the environment workers rights UK citizens abroad UK Universities the fishing industry et all Whereas fanatics like you are certain that the UK will get a good trade deal with the US despite knowing little about what is involved are certain that foreign investment for jobs will continue despite comments from business leaders to the contrary and dismiss concerns regarding inflation which probably will lead to interest rate rises and less money in peoples pockets so making the economy stall. Most of the growth in the UK in recent months has been fueled on credit so it is doubtfull paying back debt is going to cost the same as it is now
-
Dont you realise the club is investing in young players including the Academy it is not economically sustainable to go out and buy new players all the time so we have to develop them We got relegated in 2005 because we had very few young players wanting to learn and improve themselves and lots of pretty average older players We have to give them a chance and see what happens but as Harrison Reed may not be up to it but Stephens Sims Hesketh Lewis and McQueen have shown progress Targett and JWP are in the England U21 squad and they will become better players as time goes by We replaced Juanami Mane and Wanyama with Redmond Boufel and Hjoberg who will all probably develop in the next couple of years like Romeu and Yoshi have done Injuries to Pied Gardos McCarthy Boufel and Austin two of which are key players has not helped the team either

Maybe this sums up Brexit 'The problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are so certain of themselves and wiser people so full of doubts'. Bertrand Russell
-
I am not sure many supporters are really interested in the style of play most like me want a few goals and a few wins. It is winning that counts for me as it makes me happy
-
What you is saying is realisticand I agree with it but what happens if we cannot to get a top class CB in the next week or so should any old CB be brought in. Its the same with a striker I should think the club want to get in players but if what is available is not top class what is the point
-
Of course we need a good striker but finding one to come to St Mary's in January is going to be very difficult I would imagine
-
So please explain how they are not executing the tactics if they have loads of shots at goal and miss nearly all of them. Its not tactics it is players not being able to get the ball in the back of the net. Against Spurs and WBA their strikers managed to score good goals especially that Phillips effort none of our players except for Boufal and Austin ever seem to show that bit extra and score a decent goal. Even our winner to night was a bit of a **** up with poor execution The winner at Burnley was also bad execution first the foul then the setup of the wall and then the poor attempt to stop the shot. Similarly at Norwich giving a late goal away was poor with bad marking.
-
Norwich City probably as they had no shots on target or corners If you look at the BBC highlights the problem seems to be execution not tactics we had more shots than any other team that produced a result in 90 mins in this weeks replays
-
Well it is just ridiculous analysis of the situation which is pretty realistic for a mid table team
