I can’t get overly emotional about them tbh. If they aren’t good enough, they aren’t good enough. Watford are poor but still a PL side, this Saints side have dodged a bullet the last two years and would be in the bottom three of the Champ as well. When you are effectively a lower league side, you have to put in a cup final level of effort to compete or cause a huge upset like they nearly did last week every week and they can’t do that.

 

How many consistently PL standard players has SFC got? Ings is the only one really, Boufal, Romeu and Redmond on their days. PEH solid Championship, JWP do a job at that level mid table for say Bristol City. Berty lost his appetite for the game as has Cedric. Vesty Champ/L1, Stephens L1, Long Champ, Obafemi National League, seriously, Gary Johnson has better loan players at Torquay from Bristol City. He is no better than Tyreke Johnson on loan at Woking.

 

I’d like to at least see some hard work second half and try and cause a shock against higher level opposition. At least work for the shirt swapping at the end which seems to be the highlight.

 

The club just needs to do what it’s going to do if Gao doesn’t sell up and see if we still have a club left at the end of it. What happens inbetween is irrelevant really.

I know we’re **** and going down but that’s a load of ********.

I’d take Allardyce at this point.

Change my mind.

You’re right, he was bang average at Bournemouth despite joining with high expectations. His time was hit with injured (he done his ACL) and he was in and out of the team. He was also playing at LB.

 

By all accounts, since joining Villa and being played at CB he’s been superb.

 

Agree we need a commanding leader at CB, but the jury is still out on a lot of our CB’s

Vestergard - hit and miss, for me, too slow for the PL and the way Ralph wants to play.

Bednerak - looks great in a 3, been disappointed with him as a 2 (could be down to the squad as a whole though)

Yoshida - is what he is, great servant, getting on a bit and Not good enough to be relied on as a first choice.

Stephens - just dreadful.

 

I’d like to see us get rid of 2 of the above and bring another 2 in. One thing Mings does have, which we don’t have in that back line, is pace.

Mings is one of THE biggest C Unts in English football. Solid "No thank you" from me.

Not sure if my mates winding me up, he has connections at the club, but has said Hughes has been sacked.

Probably not happening he said. Stand down everyone.

With Carrillo out on loan, this will mean he can hopefully show us something in the squad this year. I hope!

Long and Austin are fine, they are legit PL strikers and both have shown they can get double digit goals. Sure it would be great to have Salah or Arguello, but they don't exactly grow on trees. I'd be ok with all of Gabbi, Long, and Austin returning. They are all as good as most other PL strikers.

You are clearly not qualified to keep your username, sir.

God we are shït at the last 5 minutes of games.

Can’t find a fault with Hughes for this, the players are the biggest load of bottle jobs I’ve ever seen.

Probably something to do with us losing Hugo Scheckter(sp?) to West Ham earlier in the year too, from what I understand we haven't replaced him. Either way it's criminal. See him as a replacement for Bertrand when he inevitably leaves in the summer.

Can't we just pretend we sold Virgil for £55m and signed this bloke on a free? I'd feel a lot happier about that.

This

Tadic needs to be on the left or not at all. Slowest/most indirect player in the league but has been known to link well with Bertrand as he’ll do his running for him.

 

I haven’t seen anything from Carillo to make me want to see him play again. Get Sims, Boufal and JWP interchanging behind Gabbi with solidity from Lemina and Hoj and I think we’ve got a good chance.

 

For big parts of today we looked like we were strangers, kept making the same runs or running into each other. Lots to iron out before the next game.

Disagree about Tadic. I thought he did alright down on the right, and additionally he made about 4/5 tackles/blocks as he was using his left foot to make them for once.

Get the fook in

Need to be more vocal about this guy and the cancer he is, fûck the team. We need to do something to get him out.

What can we do? This is so pathetic.

Art, is this safe for the less 'savvy' folk, like me? Both my Browser and Anti-Virus blocked that page.

I had the same warning too, and the other link after that one didnt work either.

Update ... Staurt McManus wife and daughter won a curling gold medal !!

 

But as she is married to Joakim Sjölund , does this mean she is a bigamist? Is Staurt up for a bit of three-a-side?

I normally find with 3 blokes on each side it gets a bit cramped.

I certainly couldn't see Branfoot leaving 4 of the most expensive signings on the bench.

I think if we appointed Silva then our prospects would greatly improve than under MP.

Would be interesting to see a poll now...

Honestly, have we given up already...?

 

You may be right but i will not give up on us until its over...

The players have given up, the board too apparently otherwise we would have seen changes in personal (player/management) so I’m more or less resigned after a home draw to a championship club that we needed to win.

I’m more Reed out than Pellegrino out... which is not to say I don’t want Pellegrino out with every fibre of my being.

Look we clearly are in a dire situation at the moment, OP has the right sentiment really though if not the best execution in this case. We can always boycott another game. No reason to shoot him down over it as everyone always does on this board at least he is offering a suggestion to get it out to the board we need change. Any other suggestions from anyone else?

Can’t stomach anymore.

Its the hope that’s killing me and yet deep down I know we won’t win Saturday.

You have hope?! Where the f-ck did you get that from I want some!?

Maybe some old style “Swing Lowe” type chants are needed at the ground for Les...
