Saint Fan CaM

We shall be able to judge the Dragan / Spors era in two distinct parts - firstly during the summer with respect to managerial / coaching appointments and the re-shaping of the first team, then secondly the deployment of pre-season training on the pitch resulting in renewed performances and positive results. It’s a big ask, but essential to get right to stop further decline.

He’s got immediate promotion to the first team. Rumour has it Juric is playing him at centre back.

Enjoyed watching the all goals video, but it’s clear there were some significant differences in team and playing performance. Aribo playing further forward, Stu Armstrong, Adams and Armstrong excellent at that level, players moving into positions that allowed unchallenged passes, etc etc.- so many differences to this season. Also, by contrast, there were many games where we found ourselves chasing games…sometimes pulling off last gasp wins or draws…there were too many flawed performances that got in the way of any sustained push for the autos. In hindsight it seems inevitable that we would suffer significantly in the Prem without spending big and upgrading the also-ran players.

All this talk of 25 points is laughable. Just remind me - how many points have we accrued so far? How many goals have scored in the last 11 games? This squad is incapable of taking more than another point for the remainder of the campaign - I’ve seen nothing performance wise this season to persuade me to think otherwise.

Not really - they’ve still got 277 of those 300 shorts to shift! 🤣🤣🤣

Agree with the sentiment, but I think the players agents will have something to say about the matter TBF. I’m trying to imagine the last team meeting of the season… Spors: “Rambo, KWP, Welington, Fernandes and Archer - have a good holiday. The rest of you - you’re stinking the place out so start looking for another club and fuck off”. 🤣🤣🤣

Thank me later… 🤣

That’s some weird shit you’re smokin’ there bro’. Pass it round to the rest of us.

Not sure he’s the right man for the Managers job, but as an Assistant he’d be brilliant at the man-management task of repairing the fractured mentality of whoever was left in the sqaud for this seasons shitshow and acting as player/manager go between. His positivity around St.Marys would be a blessing.

I’m OK with the goalkeeper rosta, the wing-back first choices are fine - the rest useless, the defensive midfield doesn’t have a competent first starter - Downes and Les would be adequate back-up, none of the CB’s are good enough as first starters - THB and ABK are OK as backups, none of the wingers are good enough as first starters - Dibling maybe ok as a backup youngster learning his trade, Fernandes is OK as a starter - Aribo OK as a backup - the rest useless, none of the so called strikers are good enough in the Prem - if we’re looking ahead to the Championship then Archer or BBD might be useful. 😔 Not too many of that lot are of a level befitting a bottom half Prem team or even a top half Championship team. That combined with 2nd rate Managers have put us where we are and if both elements do not receive decisive effective action in the summer, I think we’ll be sinking into the lower level of the Championship playing catch-up for the rest of the season. And our encounters with the blue phew will be much more squeaky bum games than we’d like. 😬

Yep, even Dibling and KWP are a shadow of what we’ve seen previously. Nothing has changed - massive re-build to be done in the summer starting with Juric etc. moving on quickly to 95% of the 1st team.

All these players have been chosen to play tippy tappy out from the back possession football. They are not good enough to do that in the Prem and they’re not good enough to do anything else either.

Yep classic - our corner and fucking Manning thinking he’s some kind of hero passes the ball straight to a Chelsea player - down the other end and it’s 4-0.

Saints are just readying another 2 goals for Chelsea in the form of Manning.

Gallows humour 😂

Fuck me, I was being ironic mate!

THB on for Bree. That’s a strange one!

If anyone thinks we’re getting another point this season they must be bonkers. Not with Juric managing this team of losers.

3-0 - no defence. Juric - do you know what a defence is supposed to look like?

Downes fucks up and it’s 2-0. Twat. As I predicted, game over before half-time.

How the fuck didn’t Paul score there?!

Smallbone at fault - totally switched off and lost his mark.

Brilliant save from Rambo.

Players seem more likely to bust a gut getting back this evening.

Bella-Kotchap so far has been fantastic you have to say.
