  1. The problem is, playing 5 at the back doesn’t work because it’s the subs late in the game that screw us over. Far better I would argue to keep a CB on the bench and revert to 5 at the back at 70-80 minutes to (hopefully) protect a lead.
  2. That’s Vardy’s bread & butter.
  3. To be honest putting five at the back in a match that has little real significance just smacks of a club hierarchy that has completely lost its way and a number of players that are continuing to somehow steal a living. There’s very little regard for the supporters that have spent a lot of money to be entertained. I’m really starting to lose a lot of respect and interest given these spineless decisions.
  4. Obviously not, but these appointments smell a little too much like jobs for mates, rather than hiring in the best available. Maybe they are the very best SFC can find???
  5. A really good observation this. Think some supporters underestimate the importance of the CB pairing - i.e. how well do they work together? Bednarek might arguably well be our best CB, but if that standard is ‘damaged’ by the lack of compatibility of one or more poorer standard partners, the entire defence looks worse. That analysis works through the spine of the team too.
  6. I think the common belief is that Spors supposedly is the saviour in waiting and that all good will emanate from his actions as soon as the season ends. His past achievements have been well documented, however it’s hardly nailed on that past success will translate to SFC. The logic of feeling unease and even pessimism lie in the huge mountain to be climbed to install a successful suitable manager and to turn the squad around into a unit that looks like it can score more goals than it concedes. On the basis that we’ve not seen much of an impact due to Spors so far (excluding the sacking of Juric), I’m afraid I share your pessimism.
  7. No way - with Bednarek man-marking him he’ll not get a look in. I’m confident. 😬
  8. Still gives me shivers and a wet eye watching the goal go in etc. The game is so different now in general…can’t imagine current players having the same pride and spirit needed to believe enough to win a major trophy.
  9. Indeed and isn’t it true that VAR is introduced to the Championship next season? ☹️
  10. Apart from that, there’s no way that SW have the financial means to buy Charles. If he’s not playing for Saints next season (likely) he’ll be sold to a more financially able club and Dragan will recoup some of his lost £’s.
  11. Indeed and serves to remind us why this summer is not just another window - it will be a critical repair and rebuild process that will have far reaching consequences on the status of the club mid-long term. In my view there’s as much chance of Dragan selling later - i.e. if another relegation happens, as the club will be cheaper to acquire, however that does also mean likely job losses and assets sold.
  12. This guy doesn't sound very good though - three games and let in four easy save goals apparently. No better than Baz?
  13. True. Remember in the Lowe years it was the interest payments on the debt that took us down.
  14. It’s a close run thing as I despise Vardy with a passion, but I would forego any points at Leicester to get a win at Everton - I really don’t like Pickford in the slightest…arrogant tw@t.
  15. Seems that the season is now defined by this one game and whether a point will be achievable to stop us being the joint most shit team in Prem history. Let that sink in. Seriously though, it really brings home the depths to which the club has been managed by SR and the intransigence of the coaching team to continue playing a system that just is not working with this squad. It’s pretty depressing, but we continue to live I hope that something will click and we’ll win a game of football. 2-1 Leicester then. Everything is broken - a complete reset is needed, otherwise I fear we’ll continue to suffer further humiliation in the Championship.
  16. Just because someone is interested doesn’t mean they are alone in that interest - a consortium might be involved, with Fulthrope just the figurehead. In fact the real/big money is likely to not even reside with him. Not dissimilar to Cortese getting Markus involved in Saints perhaps.
  17. I’d say be careful what you wish for. Yes, SR have overseen a terrible tenure, but at this point in time in a very uncertain economic marketplace / World any change now could very well signal a ‘jumping out of the frying pan into the fire’. Watch out for club job loses and a player firesale to maximise profit of a sale.
  18. Maybe it doesn’t, but do you think supporters need or more specifically WANT to know about this information at this point in time? With two relegations in three seasons, do you not think supporters deserve to be convinced that there’s a real concerted effort to rectify the huge issues facing the club? It suggests a lack of focus at best. It’s a concerning example of the utter second rate amateurism that appears so typical of SR and the clubs management.
  19. Interesting if true. Despite the shitshow SR have delivered over the last three years, the last thing the club needs right now is further instability and uncertainty.
  20. Trouble is, who the hell would want him? Hang on…how about Hollywood FC?
  21. It will be nice to be one of the bigger fishes in the pond next season, but will we be more Man Utd than Man City - full of promise but ultimately still shit.
  22. Yeah, I feel this too - mainly because he’s a central defensive midfielder perhaps? 😉
  23. Does that exonerate SR from stupidity ? No! What the fuck are they up to interviewing a manager for the future when the worst season in the clubs history is yet to be completed and there is a HUGE challenge facing the club prior to the new Championship season starting? The priorities for these clowns must be completely lost and it does not bode well for a decisive summer of activity appointing a decent new Manager AND sorting out more than half of a shit squad. Amateurs.
