SWLondon Saint Posted yesterday at 15:21 Posted yesterday at 15:21 Still may or may not be a decent manager - but I don't think he's got the chops for this job, right now. To be honest, that statement by Mads is bloody worrying - it sounds like things behind the scenes in the squad are toxic. Hard not to assume it's the senior players who've been dropped who are pissed off. A manager like Still does not have the experience or gravitas to tell them to f*** off - which they probably deserve, since they've all been utter shit for a good season and a half. As I said before, I've no idea why Lallana and any of the coaches from last season are still here either, the lot of them should have been binned off and that can't be helping. And what's with the complete disorganised crap that lead to Bragg coming on last week? That's on everyone at the club, not just the manager. Best case for me is if Still resigns - just say it was too big of a mess and too much for him and he'd come out with some credit from before. If he wants to stick it out he basically needs to win all 3 of our next games or he'll be sacked at the international break if not before. I don't think it's an easy job even with some quality players as the squad is unbalanced, so it needs someone with complete authority right now who can come in and bin off / play whoever he wants. 1
Saint86 Posted yesterday at 15:40 Posted yesterday at 15:40 We are either give Still time, and are therefore are prepared to give him and spors this season and another 2 windows (winter & summer) to clean up the team. Or we boot him out and hope whoever we bring in has enough about them to command the respect of the players whilst also being good enough to get us promoted within 18months. There are clearly bad apples in the dressing room, or being kind/optimistic, just players that that don't want to be here anymore and aren't prepared to put the effort in - which is bad enough without trying to unsettle the team and/or undermine the manager. Reading between the lines its at least some off Edozie, Aribo, THB, and Downes - Which is 3 of the most senior players plus Edozie, and probably a 3 of our highest earners. If players aren't doing what they're told it makes it harder to judge Still's tactics (which i've not been a fan off until now). But equally, if he can't control the squad then he's out of his depth. Eitherway, its pretty grim reading - the club is in a real mess and things could potentially get much worse before they get better. 1
disconnect Posted yesterday at 15:55 Posted yesterday at 15:55 Some of the weird selections / substitutions make me wonder if he is bringing on the players who have been least disruptive / shown the best attitudes, rather than those who are best for the game / situation? That said, I thought it was fairly clear that Stephens was probably undermining him... Sad it's come to that if so. I think the last few games are well past the settling in period and are now extremely worrying, but at a very minimum 6 points from the next 3 games now has to be the main goal or he's surely got to go. 2

Pedantic Pete Posted yesterday at 16:22 Posted yesterday at 16:22 57 minutes ago, CB Fry said: Literally Fellows and Azaz were bought because they were exactly that. Adam Armstrong absolutely is up there on goals record at this level. Charles is. THB is and a fucking England full international FFS. Downes absolutely is. Edwards player of the season on 6 months loan. The other signings are good players, nearly all of them (Downs the exception). And of course 100% proven in the Championship Aribo and Edozie. Stop pretending we have some terrible squad. We have one of the best squads in the league being managed by a fucking idiot. 🤣 if you seriously think Charles is the best player in his position in the league you are in cloud cuckoo land. I am not going to list those that are better as If you can’t see them, then you don’t know football. if you think Azaz and Fellows (as good as they are) were the very best in their positions in the league last year you live in cloud cuckoo land. I will give you a clue- check out the EFL team of the season last year! Armstrong wasn’t top scorer in his last full season in this league and scored three was it for West Brom last year in sixteen games? (In a team which had your best winger in the league to set him up?) again if you think he is the best in his position then you are in living in cloud cuckoo land. He is OK and will score goals but there are better players in the league who will score more. Edward’s…yeah wasn’t actually player of the season at a club which finished 15th in the table but again I will let you look up what he really got. Still may be rubbish but if you think this bunch of players are one of the top squads in the league you must have missed the whole of last season. I didn’t say it was a terrible squad but those who think we should be auto promoted or even play off guaranteed are watching a different team than me. Granted the squad should be doing better than the position they are, mid table or just tickling the last play off place maybe but nothing better than that. But never mind you carry on living in cloud cuckoo land where there is only one issue and it’s Still and our squad are good enough to get 13 points in the premier league. 🤣 also I am not fact checking anymore of your shit… use facts of F off 3

notnowcato Posted yesterday at 17:20 Posted yesterday at 17:20 We are criminally underperforming. It was always going to take some games to get over last season's shit show, mentally we still look as fucked as we did in August - that is 100% on the management team and board. 4
verlaine1979 Posted yesterday at 17:27 Posted yesterday at 17:27 The idea that we should be more understanding because the squad STILL needs an overhaul is absurd. We sold/loaned/retired 20 players over the summer and then signed 9! How big a change in the playing staff are you expecting before the rot can be cut out completely? Just release everyone in the squad from their contracts and start over? We've got experienced defenders, a good blend of athleticism and incisiveness in midfield, better wide options than most, and enough forwards that we can at least change the tactics up as needed. A good manager with this squad should be absolutely fucking steamrolling teams, even with our shitty strikers. Creating so many chances per game that even if Armstrong needs three attempts to score, he still ends up with a brace. There's just no excuse. 13
bangkoksaint Posted yesterday at 18:07 Posted yesterday at 18:07 Ability will beat hard work every time but not if they don’t work hard enough. I’ve been to plenty of games this season and that’s exactly how I see us. Our work ethic is awful and that is down to attitude 3

OneMrsWallace Posted yesterday at 18:58 Posted yesterday at 18:58 8 hours ago, Themotherfunky said: Is it actually all down to him though? Mads was saying that players aren't doing what they're asked to do, needing to look each other in the eye and be honest. If the players aren't helping the manager in doing what they're being instructed on, is that on him? They didn't play for Martin towards the end, didn't play for Juric at all. (Rumours of players undermining him, and apparently the same with Still now) It can't just be managers being shit and soley the ones at fault. I personally think we potentially have too many bad apples as 'senior' players at the club, and it rubs off on the rest. Still's fighting a losing battle, as was Juric. It's a valid point but ultimately what it indicates is that the club is rotten from top to bottom. I'll assume that surely the new players aren't the problem (But who knows).
Harry_SFC Posted yesterday at 19:06 Posted yesterday at 19:06 Still is clearly out of his depth and doesn't know how to turn this around. We badly need a proper man manager and someone who has experience of this situation. I like the guy but his interviews are just worrying now. 2
Willo of Whiteley Posted yesterday at 19:25 Posted yesterday at 19:25 (edited) I mean, if I was manager and I knew I had some dickheads in the dressing room then I wouldn’t be picking them. Nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately it means biding time and fans understanding that it isn’t a fix over one window; he’s already alluded that a lot of people need to go. Personally I think that’s the situation we’re in. I don’t think he’s out of his depth as such but he doesn’t help himself when we’ve signed players for certain positions and then plays a different formation entirely. That said, the majority of the time in games and for the majority of games we have done more than enough to kill the games off. We just haven’t taken chances. That isn’t on Will Still. This season hasn’t been good enough but I don’t land that all on the manager. So many individual errors by players and not being composed in finishing is costing us. So yeah we need better players. Striker and a goalkeeper were ideal this summer and we pissed that up the wall - look at the hierarchy for that judgement. Sacking him just kicks the can down the road for another season.

Andy Hill Posted yesterday at 20:33 Posted yesterday at 20:33 It is clear that Will Still will still be here for a while. He is clearly struggling but he has been left high and dry by pathetic recruitment in key areas. The lack of goals is not going to go away. 2
SW11_Saint Posted yesterday at 20:45 Posted yesterday at 20:45 I do wonder how much support Still gets from his backroom team - especially Trollope. He was brought in as an experienced head, who knows the sub-PL leagues, presumably to support and mentor Will. Any decent #2 should act as a challenger on decisions that are plain daft… I do wonder if he piped up at Blackburn when WS said “You know what, I think I’ll take Leo off and shove Jack into midfield to try and preserve our slim lead…”. Presumably not, or perhaps he was overruled? Anyone have any insight into the dynamic of their relationship? 3

Yeah we've got average poor rubbish but the likes of QPR/Stoke/Bristol/Millwall/Charlton/Preston/Hull/Watford/Derby/etc have assembled glittering squads of breathtaking talent we can only dream of. If we had any of their squads this manager would have us even lower and you people merrily kicking shit out of our squad would be moaning like fuck about the players. Saints players are so average/poor. Yeah,sure. If we dont go up bring on next season, bring on the season after and then you'll see what average/poor looks like. 1

Downs hasn't worked to date, but I'd like to see him in a system that suits him under a different manager before writting him off completely. Other than that, our defence on the face of it is/was more than good enough with Edwards returning - I don't think anyone could have predicted THB turning into a sunday leauge player. Our options in midfield of Downes, Jander & Charles looks more than capable on paper. Scienza looks PL class and Fellows & Azaz are proven at this level over a numebr of years, as is Armstrong. We should be underperofming and still be in and around the top 6 - a bit like Leciester - to be 18th is pure negligence and poor management. 2

Martin should have gone after Bournemouth away last season, and Still should have gone after Blackburn. We really are run by complete idiots. Will probably leave my seat empty on Saturday. What’s the fucking point. Even after Hull possibly , and definitely after Derby in my book. 3
