Hull 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[HarvSFC]

Manning allowed a player who pulled something and was noticeably in discomfort to get his cross in. Sums this team up.

[OttawaSaint]

I've not warmed to Still at all. Bizarre appointment. Never heard of him before. Doesn't seem to know what to do with this team. No clear vision.

[ChrisPY]

Carrick still looking for a job?

Nobody was saying that this time 2 years ago

That being said, we haven't had a convincing performance in the league this season, and that is a worry

Better cross than any we've managed this season too...

We need to give him the next 5 games starting to let him show what he can do, not drop him in and out every three games rotating with Archer and Stewart. 

No we don't.

[saintant]

One shot on target against fucking Hull - let that sink in.

Looks miles out of his depth to me.

[Bobsmith]

Will Still not demonstrated anything for us as a manager so far. Crap and laboured play every game, plus made Bazunu number 1 and thinks downs is good enough to start.

At times. Overall yes, but at times it got boring just knocking the ball around for the sake of it. We did play some great football though. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

There's going to be a time when the board are going to have to make a decison about sticking with Still or getting shot. Sheff Utd didn't hang around in getting rid of Selles. We cannot aford to be too far away from the top six.

We really didn’t but we got results and that’s what you need. 
 

This ginger cunt has managed neither so far. 

[kraftwerk26]

Were just a championship side with a shite manager,  we will be here for years 

[Saint NL]

Tessem made some good points about Azaz. For a big money signing, he's not really showing for the ball

[sockeye]

Starting to think the club is just rotten to the core.

Even if we win this game that's another shite half of football.We can't put a 90 minute together. This is a real worry.

That's zero open play goals for 8 halfs now.

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

Fuck me. We are so shit. 

Will Still.... Just a shit Ivan Juric. 

Should've done what was needed to get Rohl. At least he knows this league. Another shite appointment by SR. 

[BotleySaint]

I suppose we've got a lot of new players to bed in which can take time.

But right now we look to be set for a season if mid table mediocrity.

Got promoted from this division with someone. 🙂 

But most considered him lucky to achieve it as with the team that he had it should have been automatic.....apparently. I know that everyone absolutely loved his style of football.

[Sheaf Saint]

We just look so indecisive at all times. Nobody looking to make a run or play a first time ball forward. It's just so easy to defend against.

Russell Martin football was dull at times, certainly slow, but you knew we’d get a few goals and go until the end.

This lot haven’t even got started.

Yep. The team has no vision, style, hunger, drive, energy, creativity, etc. The players look a bit scared, and are just moving in small sections, at most, with no options. It's dross. 

[musesaint]

I like Still’s Press Cons. Beyond that I’m starting to wonder. We have talented players at this level who are currently putting in solid League 2 performances. Anyone else starting to wonder about Will Still?

If we get another maybe we'll do a lap of honour.

We had a central striker, Che Adams who hasn't been replaced.

Similar unaddressed frailties.

I just don't like watching us.

Tessem talks out of his arse, he’s shown for it loads, just no one passing it to him. 

[saintant]

What the fuck do they work on all week at Staplewood because whatever it is it's a complete waste of time and effort.

[Maury Dyer]

Ginger has to go. Another failed appointment.

[Saint Matty 76]

No positives so far. Azaz and Fellows need to do more and Downs doesn’t look worth his spot.

Archer and Robinson on at HT for me. 

[davefizzy14]

Need to be much better in second half.

[LGTL]

Really, really worrying half 

[Bobsmith]

Will Still’s style seems to be countless crosses to no one for 70 minutes followed by chucking on all our attackers for last 20. Seems very football manager 

Edited 3 hours ago by Bobsmith

[Football Special]

Load of shite so far. Perhaps some of you will stop posting about how we have better players and start giving this league the respect it deserves. Others sides know how to play against us and Still has no answers

We’ve completely lacked ideas all season, been very easy to defend against and not threatened much, and shit at the back. Fucking awful 

[saintant]

Not hopeful.

[Scoobysaint]

Boring and predictable. Centre back to full back, no attacking option inside so the only options are back to the CB or down the line to the winger. The winger gets the ball stationary, back to goal and no space to work with. The ball needs to go inside before going to the winger.

They’ll give him until Christmas

It is. But no different to other games this season. 

[BotleySaint]

Is it too much to ask for a football team that actually wants to play football? Score goals? How long must we suffer!

So dull. Lifeless. Then when the other team gets the ball they look like scoring. Why is it we never do? Successive managers, players. Oh the life of a Saints fan.

Yes. 
 

These performances are extremely concerning. 

I really want to like Still and give him a chance but what the fuck is going on?

[saintant]

We continue to be a side with no pace or power in any area on the pitch. This won't work in the Championship where guess what....you need pace and power.

[aintforever]

Still is fucking clueless. I would get shot and hire a real manager. 

[Jack]

Successful crosses 0/12

[macca155]

Poor half, signs of renaissance in the last 5 minutes, but an expensively assembled squad has to do better than this.

Downs seems pretty hopeless, Archer Stewart or Armstrong are a better bet.

We need Robinson on soon to help create something.

Another 45 mins of this to endure

[hypochondriac]

Where is the spark and the life in this team? It's insipid and the only half we've looked alright was against Watford. Every other game gas been fucking shit. I know it's reactionary but I'm getting close to telling still to fuck off.
