JWP should have known better than to test the Ref and VAR’s resolve - any challenge like that is going to tempt a sending off, so all the good work was undone in a moment of stupidity. Not befitting of an experienced captain. McCarthy was brilliant for the most part and Tino showed why he should be starting in front of KWP to provide a very strong right hand side. Conversely, it’s criminal that Perrault is being overlooked. He needs more time playing to bed in and he’s not exactly the worst player in the side. Ralph? We’ll jury is out, but the writing has to be on the wall…nice guy…totally want him to succeed, but he’s not doing it and we need to win the next 2 games.

At last a little justice.
-
Nobody. JWP should have been, but as usual caught ball watching. Terrible defending. This is going to be embarrassing.
-
There’s every chance this will be an utter spanking with Stephens and S Armstrong out. The optimist in me is trying to convince myself that a draw might be achievable and the wacko nutcase in me says lucky 0-1 breakaway goal in the 92nd minute.😵💫🤣 If you need me I’ll be behind the sofa! LOL

Think this is 1-1…but hoping for 3-1.

Tessem on Forster…”when you take penalties, that’s a face you don’t want to see!”🤣🤣🤣🤣 -

We’ll cock this up. Oh well…concentrate on the league and staying up. We can’t hit a barn door with a banjo. -
Sheff Utd 2-2 (p.2-4) Saints - Match Thread
Saint Fan CaM replied to Lighthouse's topic in The Saints
Jeez this sounds dire. Or perhaps it’s just Solent commentary. Valery is a freaking liability and Lyanco sounds like he thinks he's playing in a Sunday league! -
Don’t care what anyone says….look at the cost of the squads….look at the performance. Ralph is the difference and he showed why he deserves a massive amount of respect for his game management today. The players too for enacting his plan. That my friends is a very good result and there’s no denying it. The officials were more effective in taking 3 points away from us than Pep and his superstars. This game may define the season, but not for reasons many on here will cite. COY fooking Saints!!!

Well that's the premier league rolled up into one fucking moment in time. Jon Moss is a cheating twat who is clearly in the pocket of someone. Just had a gutful of it.
-
Seems like Ralph has got it right and were doing OK all things considered. Redmond needs to be pulled though and Tella to show what he's got.

Jack Stephens' passion & has he improved?
Saint Fan CaM replied to niceandfriendly's topic in The Saints
I think he has it in his locker, however he is guilty of ball watching… a lot. Having an astute CB partner makes him a better player, as is the case for many CB’s I would argue. His passion, courage and ball playing ability are very welcome in a team of Son in laws!😊 -
Looks the real deal, but can’t see him being favoured ahead of Adams or Armstrong in a 4141 formation…i.e. when has a loan striker ever been favoured over TWO permanent players? He’ll get games from the bench pretty much all season I suspect (sadly). One thing is for certain, he starkly shows the difference in quality between a true Prem quality striker and the Championship level purchases we’ve made in recent times. I wonder if buying AB for say £30m would have been better business than the combined purchases for Che and Armstrong, had that been an option of course?
-
Don’t think Ralph can favour an on loan striker ahead of Che or A Armstrong, so expecting a 4141 again with Che up front. Can’t see Stu Armstrong being match ready, but definitely on the bench. Rest of the team picks itself really as I don’t think Ralph will play Timo ahead of KWP for some reason - personally I think it would work a treat and cause many more issues than using Redmond on the right. Macca KWP Stephens Salisu Perraud Romeu Timo JWP Diallo Djenepo Che The above team has both attacking and defensive qualities and stands a chance of keeping the scoreline respectable.
-
Wetsham are too good for us at the moment sadly… think it’s 1-3. Really need Romeu and Salisu to do a job on Antonio.
-
I thought Lyanco could play DCM - he would almost certainly be in the Romeu mould? If so and he gets the chance to prove his versatility, perhaps there’s less of a need to waste money on a less flexible, squad player?

Safe standing: Saints’ big chance to create an ‘end’
Saint Fan CaM replied to Daft Kerplunk's topic in The Saints
As has been mentioned on here numerous tiles, the placement of away fans in half of the ‘home end’ of our home stadium has been and continues to be a significant shot in the foot. Coupled with this is of course the placement of the most ‘vocal’ element of Saints home supporters - stupid decision to allow these two factors to essentially work against each other in the first place, but once set it’s almost impossible to change it seems. What this has to do with standing at games I fail to see. A small minority of fans want to stand for most of, if not the entire game. How the club is supposed to turf out a large contingent of season tickets holders in the Chapel, just because some nippers want to stand up is beyond being reasonable or sensible. Just cannot see it happening anytime soon. -
Think it will take a little while for him to find his feet and that will depend on who he partners and how many games he gets. I think Ralph has some interesting selection dilemmas now across the squad which is of course a good thing providing he doesn’t become tinkerman v2. Looking forward to seeing the Gorilla play for us.
-
Well who saw this coming?!? OK he's a youngster, but if anywhere near Tinos level a very good signing. Love that we're seen as a better option than Everton. Hope he plays as well as he talks and is a huge success for us. Next? 😉
-
I admit I was way off this result…really thought we would be spanked, but Ralph actually used his squad to maximum effect and that galvanised the team it seems. No powder puff performance this one…they battled for every ball and the press was near perfect. Great result and nice to kick off with points.
-
Unfortunately this. There’s rumours circulating that we’re looking at a younger Celtic AM as SA is off.
-
Got banana skin all over it this one. They’re a good team. Having said that we really should be putting three past them and a comfortable win. Expecting big changes to starting 11 including Forster and Redmond as dead certs.
-
In the utoob vid didn’t see get bullied off the ball, didn’t see him losing the ball trying to dribble it out. Did see evidence that he can hold the ball and muscle his way out of trouble, or pass the ball out accurately. Saw he could hold the ball when being pressed. Saw he could defend his space. Saw he’s not afraid to bring the ball out of defence if necessary and he’s mobile. He also tends to play on the left, so he’s a Vesty replacement and I would wager a better one all in…not much in it perhaps, but certainly no worse. Good chance this guy will be a starter ahead of Salisu to play with Bednarek.
-
Jeez, I can’t believe some of the premature pre-Madonna’s on here! You say Hoedt and I raise you Mane! Give the f-ing guy a chance why don’t you? I maintain that it takes two CB’s to tango…with Bednarek or Salisu he may be a revelation…or even Stephens…who knows?! Fact is at the moment if either Bednarek or Salisu make a howler, Ralph has nowhere to turn to change the pairing. This will give options. It may be a disaster, but we’re sailing so close to the wind at the moment that I doubt even a £30m signing would make much more difference to the outcome of this season.
-
Just play the best players available. Timo in front of KWP could make a big difference IMO. Oh and don’t piss about at the back trying to pass it out from Forster! Forster KWP Bednarek Salisu Perraud JWP Romeu Timo S.Armstrong Adams A.Armstrong
