East Kent Saint

The only clips I saw of him when he signed were of him having first time shots to score , he seems to have problem with his coordination these days never striking the ball cleanly. It could be in his head or just the lack of coordination , his goals were described as scuffed shots on here when he signed so perhaps the latter !

From Motd Arsenal and Bournemouth a great game , both sides had other good chances to score as well . That last minute winner a bit of a killer for Bournemouth though.

Having done my knee in school days football I wince everytime players do a knee slide , he looked like his technique was wrong and got some twist on his knee . I just think why do they do that ? My knee has never been 100% since

How long before ‘playing out from the back’ becomes history in football ? Our attempt v Grimsby was woeful.

Brady donating £9k of WHU’s money to Conservatives when Liz Truss was fleetingly PM along with NUFC chairman being a member of Saudi govt despite them claiming no one associated with Saudi regime has anything to do with NUFC .

Redmond had good spells as well , overall didn't score enough and passed back too often but that may be what he was told to do so it became the norm !

He has played well for Saints , looked a better option than Forster by actually making saves . Distribution a weak point but it's fair to say after periods of looking good he did tail off like most GKs at Saints , not sure if that's because the defence was so bad he lost confidence or injury etc .

Ronaldo giving the wink to show his acting had paid off caused the general ill feeling I think !

It had the feel of an upset before the game confirmed with the team selection , then the old trying to play out from the back routine that broke down in other half of the pitch . There were a few hopeful signs with the offside goal but the warning signs were there with a few Grimsby break aways . I tried the trick of extending my half time break , expecting to restart to find Saints at least on level terms but that backfired ! AA once again looked to be trying , all going well until the final ball which was always an overhit pass or over long cross , I thought he was supposed to be a striker ie getting on the end of final passes being his 'strength' Without a team of good players threading their way through the opposition I would have thought a faster direct assault forward is required before their defence is all back in position waiting for the breakdown .

Thanks , I failed to find it !

What channel?

This is the new normal these days , happens in Rugby internationals as well etc

Defending , loads of bodies but no one decisive , attacking , no bodies so long range shot only option .

Ings with 2 as well

Gallagher scores 2 today and Slattery gets 1 from free kick !

Benitez allegedly up for it !

My experience pre covid era at St Marys was that he was a liability , my usual comment was oh no only Forster to beat ! Henceforth he was known as “your mate Forster” by my fellow travelling home fan 😄

He got a lot of bonus points for falling on the 6 yard line and blocking a goal bound shot . This seemed to elevate him in the commentators eyes !

Commentator said he hadn't mentioned Forster as he hadn't had anything to do in the first half !

Og , although not his fault , is hilarious !

Benitez proclaiming his love for Liverpool and Newcastle today !

March has only been teamless for 2 weeks , unless they are head hunted managers don't normally jump into another job especially to another relegation candidate and before his compensation has been sorted out . Even Ten Hag would need some time and a window or two to sort Saints out.

Could be he didn’t fancy Saints , length of contract a good escape card as excuses go !

Difficult to say , it will become clear when we see his first team sheet and formation.

He turned Saints down before , also had a bit of a meltdown at Chelsea at the end .
