Peter Douglas Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Smallbone is totally useless. Even the new Manager Still was caught laughing when he came on (probably coincidentall) Dreadful defending by him... 3
St. Ciervo Posted May 25 Posted May 25 You might as well let me play instead of Will Smallbone. I can also be a pylon, and I will do it on the free. 2 1
notnowcato Posted May 25 Posted May 25 30 seconds after Downes was busting his balls in the oppos box to make something happen Smallbone defends like jelly. Fuck off. 9
BotleySaint Posted May 25 Posted May 25 To be fair, Smallbone was never Premier League quality. He did a decent job last year but should have been sold in the summer. He could probably do a decent job again next year. But I suspect his confidence is totally destroyed and a move away is probably best. 11
Saint NL Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I don't think there's a player that can unite the fanbase as much as Smallbone. 1 5

He can pass and drift into space to give options. But only if the other side isn't in his face. As soon as the intensity goes up he's lost. For Martin's style of keepball he is pretty much perfect (hint hint Russ) but you can't play him in a holding midfield role. 3

saint michael Posted May 25 Posted May 25 We should give Smallbone to martin at Leicester for free will impact us better 3

If he could put on some muscle in the gym maybe but he seemingly does nothing to improve his strength. 1
hypochondriac Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Brilliant that Still can witness for himself how utterly shite Smallbone is. Big test for me to see if he bins him off early. Should be able to sell him easily to a midtable championship team. 4

Sunglasses Ron Posted May 25 Posted May 25 For one final time this season… Piss of you useless pricks! I’m really going to miss football over the summer. 😅
Saint_clark Posted May 25 Posted May 25 2-1 down in the 97th minute at the end of the season, just fucking get everyone up lads. Who cares if we lose 3-1?

St. Ciervo Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Well what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. We should be strong AF by now. 1 1
Saint_clark Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Christ one last chance with a freekick into the box and we give it straight to Raya.

Saint NL Posted May 25 Posted May 25 And another great season draws to a close. I'd like to say it's been fun, but....
Mr X Posted May 25 Posted May 25 (edited) Meh at least we showed a bit of effort at times... Arsenal's class showed eventually unfortunately for us Edited May 25 by Mr X 1
LeG Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I’m so glad Smallbone has done that in front of Still. He’s a nice lad and a saints fan and I’ll always wish him well, but enough is enough. If you can’t learn from your mistakes or work on your weaknesses and improve them, then you’ve peaked. 19
Saint Fan CaM Posted May 25 Posted May 25 That’s it you lucky people - all over. Thank you Smallbollox for being such an influential presence - for the other teams in the league. 1
Holmes_and_Watson Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Normally, I'd be saying "See you all next season." But the chances are we'll be in the same therapy groups over the summer, working on our scar tissue. 🙂 7

obelisk Posted May 25 Posted May 25 With being 1-2 down in the last minute I'd suggest lumping the ball up to the big man but nobody seems to know how to do it. It's been that way all season and there's another poor lump straight to the opposing 'keeper. Oh well. New season, new regime and let's hope for new tactics.
SouSaint Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Thank fuck that's over, mental that there are people staying behind to applaud the worst team in our history. 8
sockeye Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Whatever, it's done. Drawing a line under this season. Never want to think about it again. All eyes on transfer activity for the next 2 months now. 1
Holmes_and_Watson Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Choosing a system that lends itself the the players' stronger attribute gets us in a game, shocker. Repeatedly bringing on substandard substitutes, just because, invariably costs us points, shocker. 3
Saint Fan CaM Posted May 25 Posted May 25 SMS empties as the players saunter round. Kind of sums up the season really. 🤣

coalman Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Looking at today - we had the players to make a game of it in more matches than we did this season. Sure we'd probably still have been relegated but team selection and tactics have been as bad as I've ever seen across all three managers. We recruited so many players who never got a sniff who might actually have sweated for the shirt. 4

Maggie May Posted May 25 Posted May 25 If you’d have told me we’d be finishing the season three places below Spurs, I’d have bitten your hand off. 9

OneMrsWallace Posted May 25 Posted May 25 And the final curtain closes on 24/25.The only positive for me this season has been this forum. Who'd have thought 🤣 Thanks for the humour and the clinically diagnosable insanity. It's been... interesting. I'm off to bin my replica shirt. I'll feel better. 5
