Baird of the land

Billy Davies coming in too to thrill them with a presentation on his 2007 Derby side?

Yesterday when i was watching Jones' fiddle whilst our lead burned away i thought back to that game against Leeds where the completely inept Marsch let us come back from 2 nil down in the same way. That better be a wind up.

Would love to see Bielsa at Saints next season. Not a realistic this season appointment though as his brand of football needs a pre-season to bed in. If we are appointing someone permanently now it needs to be with clear view that they are best possible candidate for the Championship, which is highly likely to be our destination. I don't see a standout name(now that Everton have got Dyche) that could work miracles to save us or would likely be interested, so i'd be inclined to lean towards a caretaker till end of the season & fresh start with someone new next. Know others hate the romantic idea of Adkins coming in as a short-term unity candidate but that's still probably where i'd lean if he was up for it.

How is Jesse Marsch, the guy who just got sacked for being incompetent at Leeds second favourite at 8-1(with bookies) currently?

Small squad, we've got a massive bloated squad.

I was incredulous when i heard Bielsa wanted the u23 job at everton(this season) not the senior job(till next season). Funny thing is i now i sort of think, maybe that mightn't be such a bad thing for Saints (as this season is a right off now)

Random choice. Also why would the German Asst Manager want to manage in the Championship?

Just depressed myself (checking the contracts page) that we are likely stuck with him till 2025. That's assuming i don't wake up on Monday to news of the club giving him a new 5 year contract.

Good candidates aren't going to want to leave their jobs and come preside over almost certain relegation. Get a caretaker and wait till the summer is by far the best option.

Pretty sure I saw Sulemana touching the ball, so I have no doubts another pacey player(tella) would have

Does Alex McCarthy just think he’s better off not getting grief or is his ankle injury bad.

Them going down to 10 men is 'a hiding to nothing'. Says it all really. For someone who repeatedly uses the word aggressive, aggressive teams would have loved taking advantage of that. Also he admits we lost it at 60 minutes. Why does it take 12 minutes to make a sub?

To be fair to Semmens he probably didn't have much say in it. Just the cringe PR fluff like Kruger.

What part of caretaker do you not get.

and... Are you under the delusion that we are still staying up this season is likely even after watching us lose at home to 10 men against a relegation rival. We need someone non diivisive to see out the season and regroup in the championhip.

No problem with Selles, though if Adkins would be willing to come back as caretaker i'd prefer him.

Anyone at the ground hear what Lemina said? Did Ref forget he booked Lemina earlier?

Lovely turn in the box too in 2nd half. Looked a pen but ref was never going to give it after odd Lemina red.

Thought the 2nd one was an okt decision, it was too close. AMN just fluffed it.

Was disappointed when he was loaned out. Even last season there were moments where he impressed and he was often just used badly in ralph's set up. He's never playing for us again sadly. Not sure we are going to get big money unless it turns into a bidding war.

For a while we have. This year has been a spectacular mess but we've been just constantly not going anywhere (with exception of bizarre covid break year)

For first 60 minutes we were ok (though the sending off was extremely fortunate, not sure what he said to the ref but getting a second yellow for complaining about a foul is very rare). We then spent 10 minutes looking like might concede. Not sure what Nathan was doing in that period. Then Bednarek excelled himself in being even worse than he'd been in the first 70 minutes. Subs seemed very scattergun. 2 of our players took eachother out and the rest is history.

Can we alert the authorities. He thinks Jan Bednarek is ahead of DCC, in own goal ability?

New poll please. I need to change my vote.

Was over the moon when Aston Villa took him away. How anyone can think he is a good CB is nuts. At least bednarek, improved his average goals conceded this season to 2.75. I apologise for predicted he'd maintain his 3 goals a game record.
