Did the same think happen for Newcastles goal on the opening day of the season. Was. It not the same 2 players as well? 

Yep. Carbon copy. It’s what he does.

Liverpool fans booing Manning for getting hurt 😂

Terrible signing.

For the money absolutely. He was clearly third choice though after the Armenian and the bloke from Coventry. Should have not bothered and used the money for a striker.

I’d persevere with Quarshie. He’s certainly raw and will no doubt make mistakes but no more than THB and Stephens. 

I think wood and quarsie are better than THB and Stephen’s

[Saint NL]

Robinson time?

[adrian lord]

Both teams will play this out now as a training and subs exercise. 

[The Kraken]

Szienza coming off. Hopefully being rested ahead of Saturday, he’s been very good, very direct.

[trousers]

Ha

Wasn't that funny.

[obelisk]

A mile offside. Even a lino at Anfield has to give that.

[Lighthouse]

How in the name of Christ was that a better decision than letting them have a corner, Manning?

[SNSUN]

Interesting last few minutes on my TV. Peter Beale just scored himself a burlesque dancer, Zoe Slater had some beef with Sharon and Jack and Ravi got away with planting the gun on some bad guy. Riveting.

Wait am I on the wrong channel? 

[Saint Fan CaM]

And…back in the game. 😉😂

DOWNS TOUCHED THE BALL

Welcome back 😂

[Saint Scott]

Pressing has dropped off a cliff since Downs came on. Just aimless jogging so far from him 

[Patches O Houlihan]

Downs still looking like a competition winner

Yeah, but what's your opinion on Will Smallbone?

[Patrick Bateman]

Subs have made us slower ...

It's quite pathetic watching him jogging about. He has zero presence about him.

For them!

[AlexLaw76]

I want Downs to do well, really do

but feck me.....he does not make any of the opposition uncomfortable at all...

Would love to sub him back off for Stewart.

[John Boy Saint]

Does Downes have a brain in his head?

[Sheaf Saint]

And another hopeless attempt to play the ball from Downs.

I agree, Downs had yet to break his casual trot

[The Kraken]

I think Will Still might need to come up with a 4-6-0 formation. Because our whole forward line is utter turd. Downs looks like he’s won a raffle to play, Archer is muck, and Adarma looks like he did when he stepped up to the PL first time, absolutely lost. LND doesn’t look like being anything other than a 70 minute roll of the dice when we’re losing.

not sure, but he does have a pineapple on it

[trousers]

Downs needs to drop down to the U21s to hopefully get some confidence running through his veins. Rabbit in the headlights at the moment.

Stewart must be really shit in training if Downs is getting the nod every time 

[Harry_SFC]

Downs is terrible. Absolutely terrible. Don't get me wrong, Archer hasn't been great but he's a lot better than DD.

[AlexLaw76]

People keep saying playing out from the back is a hangover from Russball (which is a lazy and ridiculous statement anyway).

It clearly is how Still wants us to play. we do it almost every time

[Saint NL]

Ekitike is a whole head taller than Arma when being marked at the corner

[Patches O Houlihan]

He's got a pineapple on his head! - Are you fucking kidding me?!! Leaves a through ball that was nailed on for him

[adrian lord]

Going to be a long last 20-odd minutes. 

[The Kraken]

Honestly, Downs makes his lookalike Jason Lee look good. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Again he didn't even try and jump for that.

[CB Fry]

Very much the Jason Lee of the new millennium 

[macca155]

Not all bad we beat Petersfield 2 1 in the Hampshire Senior Cup.

Brain dead. I swear he has a spliff before he comes on

He makes BBD look good. 

[Toussaint]

Downs doesn’t sprint or jump, apart from that he’s the complete package 

[AlexLaw76]

Downs needs to be placed in the reserves (or what ever they are called)

Just terrible

[Hoggins]

This is Ali Dia stuff…

[Colinjb]

Trying to be positive, Edwards has been tidy this evening.

[Saint NL]

Sub Downs off, he's useless 

[captainchris]

How bad is Downs. Who scouted him? Are our purchasing dept really that terrible…
