Hook Quarshie

His heads gone. 

 

Robinson very naive and inexperienced.

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Great tackle by Robinson to deny Wellington.

[Chez]

Not matching up today formation wise. Always worries me a little as players get caught in no mans land at times.

Armstrong working hard...and then when you need him to make the run for Robinson he stands still. Grrr

[sockeye]

Very poor so far.

[Saint Scott]

He was exactly the same last week, wants so many touches on the ball

[Bakovnetski]

Absoluute crap so far

[Harry_SFC]

Whilst some of his defending is a bit suspect Welington does look handy going forwards.

our 2 main signings, Quarshie and Downs look very bad, so far

Downs needs more time but Calamity Quarshie is almost comically bad. Has he actually passed to a Saints player in any game so far?

Yes. I should really ring some kind of Klaxon to warn people when I do that.

[Saint Fan CaM]

My word our striker options are fucking trash.

0-2 win for the Saints. Yes, I realise that means a clean sheet and I am being ridiculously optimistic! I feel this could be one of those games where they throw everything at us, we score one against the run of play in the first half then cling on until the 85th minute when we break away and do it again!

what a fing ballsup!

Why pass back, can't players kick the out for a throw or anywhere but towards our goal. Coaches obsessed with stupid back pass to keep ball.

[Chez]

that's a really poor header from Robinson

[Colinjb]

Looking a bit more composed now. Holding onto the ball better.

[Suhari]

Yep. Looking better.

[santolijador]

In fairness, last 10 minutes we've taken a bit of control. If only we had the fire power to use it...

[Disco Stu]

Why are we putting crosses in the box for Armstrong?

[whelk]

Ref fucking useless again

[Saint_clark]

How the fuck is that not a foul Madley you circumcised cock looking prick?

[Sheaf Saint]

Our players really need to stop getting in each other's way in attacking positions. Seems to be happening far too much in every game so far. 

[Saint NL]

Fernandes starting to run the show

[sockeye]

This referee is diabolical yet again

He's made one mistake mate. Not sure he deserves the calamity tag. 

[RedArmy]

THB is definitely one of the better CB’s in this league but without the ball in a back 3/5 he just looks so awkward and lost most of the time. 
 

I don’t know why successive managers just can’t see it. He needs a back 4. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Fucksake Madley. Giving them everything and us absolutely nothing.

I am beginning to wonder how still had the defensive record he did in France. Do we just have really shit defenders? 🫣

Video game tactics, or so any French fan would tell you. He didn't have the necessary coaching certificates so Reims were fined 25000 euros for each match he was in charge. Also had Etikite and two Japanese wingers.

[obelisk]

Saints looking blunt in attack still.

[Saint NL]

Wellington playing him inside for that chance. It's all a bit disorganised at the back

[sockeye]

We need wide options badly

[hypochondriac]

If we lose Fernandes we better get some bloody good replacements because the rest of these players other than maybe Robinson really don't have much about them.

I agree, the ball inside him causes all sorts of issues. 

[DrSuess1979]

Szmodics going down with a grazed knee

[Saint NL]

Not the end of the world if szmodics is injured for them 👀

[Harry_SFC]

As expected we are dominating midfield but we've got nothing in attack.

Not surprising with Armstrong through the middle tbh. Any good work elsewhere on the pitch just runs face first into a brick wall when it gets to him.

German Division 2 players, inbound

Because he's too f*cking short of course 🤣

[benjii]

Nothing in this, other than the stupid error.

Need to just make sure we don't gift them anything else.

They go down a lot.

Doubt he's reading the forum while the games on, but suspect he already knows.

 

*WARNING KLAXON * : Shit joke and another play on the word still/Still

[Saint_clark]

THB that is fucking atrocious. Cut your hair you scruffy twat.

[Tamesaint]

Downes taking a drink from the Ipswich physio's bzg. 😁😁😁😁

[Saint NL]

The fuck was that from THB

Also had Etikite 

No he didn’t 😂

THB having a pop at Quarshie now.

 

Maybe he should concentrate on his game, he’s been fucking pony so far as well

[AlexLaw76]

For all Still's heralded flexibility, we have been terrible in all 3 games, largely playing 3 at the back...

Tactics wrong,  same as Wrexham either put ball in low the natural goal scorer or high to a tall player to nod in. Its basic football coaching. I fear we have RM v2 its all odd football. Who ever holds the budget has made a huge mistake by not getting a goal scorer, natural forward with experience.
