Sorry, was meant to say the Arsenal win was our only win in 10 matches, not that we didn’t win for 10 matches after that. Remember a pretty turgid game against Watford in the rain where we won 2-0 that started the run. Also Forsters first game back

That was season before. We went on a terrible run around winter in 15/16 season. Think we beat Arsenal 4-0 but that was our only win for like 10-12 matches. Think Koeman went 3 at the back for a bit (oh the irony) and we turned it around.

It’s all gone wrong since Shane got his guitar out. https://www.sportsjoe.ie/football/watch-shane-long-and-his-guitar-stole-the-show-at-southamptons-end-of-season-awards-ceremony-78420 ”we’ll never stop, until we reach the top” Koeman leaves, Pelle leaves, Mane leaves, Wanyama leaves, Fonte head goes. Yeah we’ve had some modicum’s of success since then (League Cup final, Playoff final), but those never felt on solid foundations compared to how the end of 15/16 felt.

Has anyone been on there to commiserate them on the end of their season coming so soon?

Hull away.

Clever move to take out one of the playoff hopefuls.

When you break down the options, they really are all shite.

Sorry for your loss Lard.

He’s only played a handful of games in the last 2 and a half years. Also thrown in without properly training with the team. Lets see how he goes over next few weeks.

If the new guy is half as good as Boruc, then I’ll snap your hand off.

So our academy director might be leaving to go to Leicester.

Looking forward to Scienza, Fellows etc. being rested/protected in this one, ready for the massive game next week against Doncaster 💪

Think we’ll miss Fellows as much as we missed Scienza the other day. Norwich aren’t great but have improved over recent games under new management. I don’t think we win this, maybe a 1-1. Think some people getting very carried away.

Dang.

There should have been a defender there on the attacker to clear the way. His failing there was not commanding a defender to come and help him.

Yeah that’s been on the cards for a while. Incredible really.

Can’t be that surprised in view of whose posting it 😉

In fantasy world, you’d get a GK, Striker, CB and someone who can replace Scienza effectively (and ship out a load -any of the current GK’s, Edwards, Matsuki, Aribo, Downs, Edozie etc.) In reality I don’t expect us to do much at all, which will be a shame.

He needs to be protected at all costs, as without him we’re nothing. But another 10mins or so and the games probably dead.

Think the game management issues are several; - he’s trying to save the legs of our best players, but is making the changes too early - once you drop a gear or three, it’s very very hard to get that back, so if a team gets on a bit of a roll it can be hard to arrest - managing the game out with only two in midfield is a problem - the quality of replacements is not close to the same level - Aribo still gets on the pitch The positive though is it’s another win and we can still be much better. I’m hopeful with more time Tonda will adapt as needed. 4 wins in a row at home, can’t remember the last time that’s happened.

This new found confidence across the fanbase is unsettling… Add the negativity of the baggies fans and everything points to a frustrating evening. 😊

Would love to see a new GK, new ST and a shit load of outgoings. If being greedy, a clone of Leo as well. We’ll be lucky to bring in one I suspect.

Yep it was Fletcher who suffered with that. Do seem to recall him getting it under control though and kicking on, so hopefully Flynn can do the same. I’ll hold my hands up, I’ve questioned his attitude so my apologies to him for that - must be awful trying to manage this. Although I still stand by that he threw his toys out post RM leaving and trying to fashion a move last January.

Terrible take.

Feels like he’s been bought back in purely because he’s getting paid a meaty salary so we want something for our money. But it’s time to just pay him off and be done with it. The fact he wears number 7 adds more insult. He doesn’t want to be here, we don’t want him. See ya.
