Lee On Solent Saint Posted 9 April, 2023 Share Posted 9 April, 2023 20 minutes ago, Daft Kerplunk said: Selles was always facing a near-impossible task to keep us up, but he is far too defensively minded and our football is too risk-averse. And this comment after the match might be useful not to lose players but to say we have enough goals in this team is mad. "We knew it was a gigantic task when we took it on. We are performing and we are going to keep fighting for every point. We have enough goals in the side and we are going to go for it." When are we going to go for it Ruben? Why didn't we go for at home to Brentford, or away to West Ham. Just more pointless club PR bullshit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted 9 April, 2023 Share Posted 9 April, 2023 I am grateful for what has attempted and for taking on the impossible and thankless job but it's clear he isn't the man to develop a new identity and bring any kind of attacking football in the championship he's not the man to run the project of bringing us back up and we certainly won't be coming straight back up whoever is appointed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 14 April, 2023 Share Posted 14 April, 2023 Pretty delusional in today's press conference. A man under pressure for sure. Surely he doesn't really believe that his team can still escape relegation? Three points tomorrow will mean bugger all, we are down and out and the coffin gets its last coat of varnish in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 15 April, 2023 Share Posted 15 April, 2023 Too much theory and thinks it is rocket science, not enough awareness that it's a simple game and the right people have to be put together to blend in their natural shape and let play. A coach can improve players out of game time but has little or no influence once a game has started except to make changes. If the players have little natural blend and balance the result is what we have had all season. Drawing the names out of a hat would possibly give a similar result. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_SFC Posted 15 April, 2023 Share Posted 15 April, 2023 (edited) Sellés on Walcott and Elyounoussi: "I have trust in them. For us, sometimes it's not about technical abilities - but it's also about what they bring to the team. I don't know what we'll do in future but those two are players you can always come with." This ladies and gentlemen is why we are going down. "It's not about technical abilities" well it is though, isn't it? By this logic you may as well stick 11 hard working non league players in the side. Edited 15 April, 2023 by Harry_SFC 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the future because he hasn't got one here. Even if they keep him, his overcomplicated thinking will cause another clusterfuck in the Championship and the sack will be the result. What the idiot doesn't get is that as soon as the supporters see Elyounoussi's name on the team sheet it immediately puts a dampener on any hope for the match and virtually destroys any positivity. No good calling for the supporters to be the team's twelth man and picking Elyounoussi because he's lost the support by doing that.

RedArmy Posted 15 April, 2023 Share Posted 15 April, 2023 He’s been let down massively by a squad of players that aren’t interested. What the fuck was that show all about after the win at Chelsea? They made it look like they were a squad united, fully behind the manager and ready to turn a corner. The reality is that they knew they would get an easy ride under Selles and they could coast through the rest of the season with no effort. They can all get fucked. That being said, we need a complete overhaul for the Championship and that includes a new manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Corbyn Posted 15 April, 2023 Share Posted 15 April, 2023 Jones was a turd but at least he tried to break us out of our long running funk.

Oh as much as i think today was on Selles negative approach, i agree the players aren't fit to lace the boots of previous sets of saints players. This summer should be clearing as many of them as possible. Look at Burnley they've kept 3 or 4 from last year in their starting lineup.

He's managed 2 first team matches in his entire career. One was a pretty poor performance against Sheffield Wednesday, one a slightly fortuitous win against a Chelsea team in bad form. I want him to do well, but it's far too early to make predictions. Then again, making snap judgements is the accepted way in football, why should that change now 😉 ...
