Saint Fan CaM

So Selles could have started the game with Toni at RB but decided to start Bree. Put in KWP - a player clearly not invested - and left Perraud a natural LB, out. He could have at least tried to score a goal, but no he plays the useless Ely-fucking-no-usey and the blunt instrument called Aribo. Selles goes down (sic) as my worst Saints manager - ever. I literally hate the football, the team selections and his excuses with a passion.

McCarthy … garbage. JWP and KWP / so obviously off to pastures new it’s pitiful.

Aribo - what waste of a pair of boots. Shit player.

And there’s another goal hit fast on the break - like we used to do. And in direct contrast to the turgid shit this team has been serving up for 5 years now. Hate the Saints playbook whatever that is.

Brighton are everything we’re not. And the Manager knows his best squad and how to coach them. We’re so bad in every area it’s untrue.

We won’t - there are relegation clauses in contracts that will cut those wages significantly I don’t doubt. With a long contract at Saints, if he doesn’t want to go, how do you think we will sell him…can we force him out?

I don’t want him to stay, but think he wants to stay. Don’t think he’ll want to a be a bit part player warming the bench in a lower half club.

When you start looking through the first team squad it’s shocking how many “bit part” players we have on the books. Irrespective of what money they might fetch, these are the players I think we need to move on as they’ve shown no ability or heart to play at a level commensurate to what’s needed to get out of the Championship… JWP - his day is done…found out and not Captain material. But something tells me he’ll stay. Salisu, ABK, DCC, Stephens (suspect his hearts elsewhere now), AMN (out of contract) Djenepo, Ely (out of contract), Theo (club mascot?), Orsic, Adam Armstrong, Onauchu, Diallo Players I’m not sure about because they may be good enough with better management and coaching are Edozie, Mara, Che, Bree, Lyanco, Bednarek, Perraud, Stu Armstrong I think Tella and Smallbone would be good re-introductions for a new manager to utilise, although assessing how they’ve performed better in different clubs will be important. Last thing we need is for their talent to be crushed in a different system at Saints.

We will lose. The score matters not a jot. Our lot will be sauntering around with no care about the club they’re about to leave or the manager about to be shown the door. I don’t know whether I can stand to watch it, although there’s some macabre part of me that lives in hope that somehow, something clicks and we win a game of football.

I have to say I completely agree with those saying we’ve got a massive mountain to climb in a relatively short period of time to get everything right so we can even compete effectively in the Championship. In fact on the face of it it’s hard not to imagine us struggling and finding ourselves in the lower half of the table by Christmas. Our performances against lower league opposition have in general not seen an improvement in fortunes - quite the opposite I would argue, with heads dropping when things are not going our way. The managerial appointment is crucial and most important to get right first, however transformation of the squad is an imperative too. Even if we manage to appoint a decent manager, I’m not sure the majority of players are good enough to utilise the coaching provided. These guys clearly don’t react well to new ideas…they like a ‘friendly’ mate of a manager. I think Carrick would be a good choice based on his favoured style of play, but I’m not sure we’d have the nouse or money to pull him away from Boro. Other than that, it’s going to take an experienced head to sort out the utter mess the squad is in right now. Rasmus doesn’t seem like the right guy to be making those kind of crucial decisions.

Appointing this guy will be a sure fire way to project us towards League One IMO. No thanks.

For the first time I switched off when the second goal went in - just knew it was pointless from that point onwards, but of course in truth its been pointless putting any faith in this Saints team and coaching set-up for months and months. As someone has already said - I feel sadly despondent about the relegation which was inevitable. I got criticised months ago for suggesting the manner in which we play needed to change to turn fortunes around - remarkably it didn't change despite two Managers post-Ralph and that is a big mystery to me. Is there some master-plan that requires Managers and coaches to play in a certain manner or are the players just not good enough to enact the game plan? Or quite possibly both? I don't think anyone should be celebrating the possibility of more wins in the Championship provided by a new coach and team. Despite SR's insistence that there will be changes, improvement and presumably investment, I think we will struggle. Possibly flirt with relegation again. It's a very tough league to compete in, let alone mount a promotion challenge. It's going to take significant effort, skill and nouse to turn this club into a one that can win...let's face it who remembers what that looks and feels like?!? The only thing left to 'look forward to' now is the humiliation at the hands of Liverpool. If they're on their game we could be ending this dreadful season on the high of another 9-0 thrashing. COYR!

AMN is shite, magnified by a shite Manager who thinks playing him at LWB is a good idea!!! Forest must have not believed their luck, but they certainly took advantage! Selles is an absolute fraud.

Will hate seeing JWP playing for us still. He’s not got enough for the Championship. Absolute loser mentality and no grit whatsoever. A shadow of a player compared to the midfield (e.g. Spiderman) we had when challenging for promotion last time.

Outclassed by Forest. You know things are bad when you look at Forest team and think, mmm wouldn’t mind that guy in our team…he’s better than what we have.

Selles did everything too late. Again.

😂😂😂😂

Players have given up. Making Forest look like Brazil.

Good to see JWP getting his pass stats up by going backwards time and ducking time again!!! 😫

AMN is such a liability.

Hang on Selles is looking like he wants to substitute someone - must be an attacker?

LOL Lyanco - what a player!

Forest play acting for time now. Why wouldn’t they?

Some might say months.

Needs to clear off out of the club - he’s no leader, can’t do the basics right like finding a killer pass or shoot or tackle. He’s a luxury player you want to bring in just for freekicks on goal.
