Keiffer Moore hatrick. Almost as if signing a big, proper championship number 9 was too obvious so we had to try and be clever and sign some unknown American who has the worst touch in the history of the game.

If we had Keiffer Moore we would be top 10 right now. 

Certain of it 

Was obvious from the very first game, given how still wants to play

Yeah, but, no but, it's mainly down to the manager innit...? ;)

If there is one thing that I will never criticise SR for, it is not signing Keiffer Moore - we were never ever going to do that. And I'm fine with that.

That is nine goals in 15 Wrexham appearances for Kieffer Moore.

He may be 33, but the Wales striker is proving to be a shrewd acquisition as the Red Dragons look to find their feet in the Championship.

Who do you imagine would be supplying the through balls etc if he was our lonely front man 😄

Scienza? Charles? Azaz? Fellows? Armstrong? Fraser? Jander? 

We're not short of people to create chances,that's why we create so many.

Having said that, most people saying we should have got Moore would never have said that in the summer.

This entirely.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Absolute bollocks to anyone that said we should sign him in the summer.

If we’d signed Moore in the summer people would’ve been scoffing at him saying “this is all we need”, “buy a real striker”, “Sport Republic no ambition” again 🤣

I've always personally rated Keifer Moore. Solid championship striker.

Think many would have been fine with Moore or someone similar on the basis that they would have supplemented Downs or stepped in for the inevitable Stewart injuries.

Not sure why you call bull on people who would have liked to have him or someone similar in.

Most people, myself included, were saying we needed a 'proper' reliable / clinical / experienced centre forward, so someone in the same mould as Moore, if not him specifically.

We all knew we needed a centre forward. So did the club, which is why they signed one.

"We" wanted a reliable / clinical / experienced centre forward who could hit the ground running. Instead, the club signed a 'one for the future' project player who met none of those criteria.

Do you really think SR sign players in the understanding of the reaction of SaintsWeb?

History suggest they could not give a shit.

Have Leicester got the money to fire/hire another manager? They've got to be thinking about it too

I think Leicester will do this immediately if they lose this game.

I’m pleased we had the honour of kick starting Blackburns season. We are good at that, haven’t scored in a while, haven’t won in a while, who ya gonna call …..

Harry Lewis played for Carlisle yesterday in a 3:2 win at Reading.  He made a couple of useful saves but what was more notable was the grit that Carlisle showed to score twice in normal extra time to force proper extra time and score the winner.  Sub striker scored a hat-trick.  Properly demonstrated what we’re missing.  Highlights in the bbc report of the game, for those interested.

Linney is the first name on the team sheet for league games up here. With his partner Con-Clarke they will be a force up front. But over the last 2 years they have not shown to much fight with 2 relegations from league 1 then league 2 last season. A bit like Saints the owners are big on promotion the club and doing the commercial side of things well, but on the pitch has been a disaster. They like Saints have not been employing the right people on the football front.

Watching Eastleigh (Swaythling FC) at the moment. Weird game because they went down early on, but in open play have been the better side and could have been level, but in the last 10 minutes errors could have seen them 2 or 3 down. 

FA Cup a couple of years ago Eastleigh beat Reading. I enjoyed that game.

Brooks looks absolutely incredible for Bournemouth away to City.

Just shows that it is our managers that do not get the best out of players. Ever thought why the majority do better before and after joining or leaving us?

So it wasn't the 18 months of cancer treatment that maybe affected his performances?

In this case yes, I should imagine it might. But if back playing in any first team at this standard I presume he was all clear and back up to full fitness. I am not an expert in this area, but know of players that do not get back to first team football after successful treatment. Looking at other players I would say we mismanaged them.

He was excellent here and his record and performances showed that. Anyone arguing otherwise is a fool.

I seem to remember him starting really well then going off the boil.

He assisted more league goals than almost every player in our squad that season. You remember him missing a sitter against Cardiff.

Those are two completely separate things. He had the all clear, he literally came to us to regain match sharpness and fitness. Bournemouth didn't just give us a fully fit, PL quality player for fun; there was a reason he got loaned out to the Championship in the first place.

If you're interested, he was mostly playing 10 min sub appearances in the months before he came to us.
