Can’t wait for five at the back against Blackburn. Solid set up.

It's getting better and better(tm)

[Morse]

Sack Still sure, but nothing is going to change until SR fuck off.

If SR have any ambition to get promotion this season the should. 12 points from 11 games is shocking 

Their ten year business plan probably involved several relegations, they’ve had two in four years.

I don’t think promotion is on the agenda.

[Saint NL]

City could score a few more if they wanted, We've completely lost our way

Anyone think we might go down again?

I think there are a fair few terrible teams in this division this year, us included, but not sure we are relegation bound just yet. bottom half for sure though. 

[trousers]

[RedArmy]

I thought this cunt was all about being proactive and adaptable? 
 

THREE FUCKING CENTRE BACKS WHEN WE ARE LOSING 3-1. 
 

Fuck off.

Ipswich mate wants McKenna out

Happily recruit him. But they’ll go for some nod from Bundesliga 3.

Hm. Think this is the game that breaks us if we don't manage to turn it into a draw. Got to play a back 4 and get an AM on but still doesn't trust any of the defenders. Will trust them even less now.

You think we're likely to score two goals?

[Saint NL]

More subs incoming.

Meh who cares

I've been out tonight and have just seen the score. Feck.

What's been the story? Shit performances, poor team set up, all of the above, or just undone by a better team? 

One of our best half hours of the season for the first half hour with numerous chances and controlling the game and 78% possession. Then we scored and sat off and let them score. Second half I stopped watching when we went behind again so no idea.

[Saint86]

Charles will be gone soon, probably our most saleable asset. But I guess this is what people want right, stay in the champ every year being magically competitive at the top end, selling our best players, and using our top quality recruitment to bring in ever more new and exciting players every year.

[bogwoppit]

No surprise, been evident after the first few games that we have no pattern / style of play. Can’t score, can’t defend, recipe for disaster. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Whole fuckin club can fuck off. SR have fuckin ruined this club. Even worse owners than Lowe. 

[Farmer Saint]

If we get rid now, we still have time. If we procrastinate too long, we won't. 

SR need to act tonight.

Going down is too exciting for us. Our final destination is stagnating dead in mid-table.

[tdmickey3]

I think he needs to bring another centre half, cant be to careful

Played well first half but gifted them a goal. Gifted them two more goals second half. Done nothing to react to the shift in momentum other than the usual wing back swaps.

We took the lead after 30 mins of total dominance, then proceeded to immediately self-sabotage ourselves.

I question Still but I question our owners more - they are fucking disgraceful

Missed all but one of our easy chances then gifted them three with Russball defending.

Thanks all. I'm glad I missed it. 

If we haven't made progress by now under Still, we never will. 

[Wiggles31]

Sports Republic out. That needs to be the mantra. Not Still out, but Sports Republic out. 

[obelisk]

There's just no sign of the Saints players even trying to make a game of it. They've totally given up. Now passing across the back again. Desperate Downs now on.

[Colinjb]

Damion Downs is on.

Brace yourselves.

[Gloucester Saint]

Obviously if he was vaguely interested..but would you want to work for these 🤡 

Ralph DoF with full recruitment control, and Lallana manager. Spors and his team have to depart with Still. 

[captainchris]

Damien Downs what a joke. !

Good choice for 2nd half

[Saint86]

Downs coming on 😂

Apparently us playing with 11 men wasn't enough of an advantage for city.

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

We're gonna do a Luton. Keep Still far too long. Replace him with 10 games to go and then get relegated. 

Cut out loses now and get that useless prick out of the club. He's just a shit Nathan Jones. 

FFS. If we'd got rid of him 2 weeks ago we'd probably have Danny Rohl in charge now. Sadly, that ship has sailed. 

[Suhari]

Double D to save us!

[leeham_69]

Ryan Manning dribbling forwards in the opposition half literally looking over his shoulder for a backwards pass 😆 so bad. Runs into a defender and the ball goes backwards. Phew!

[trousers]

Downs to the rescue!!

[Scoobysaint]

We’ve got Azaz on the bench and fifteen minutes left. Got to go to four at the back. Won’t make any difference to the defensive stability.

[CB Fry]

Damion Downs is coming on so that means HE IS UTTER SHIT

[Saint NL]

Here we go.

Downs time.

Other than the money, going up seems utterly pointless.

[Turkish]

Downs on! Yes he WILL score

this mesns GOALS GOALS GOALS!

[LiberalCommunist]

Welcome back Ralph, we've been decorating since you left, what do you think of it now? Do you like it?

[Osvaldorama]

Here we go

 

Ali Dia coming on. This will be a fucking laugh

SR didn’t want him.

Downs getting booed coming on 😂

The whole club is a mess

Edited yesterday at 20:37 by Saint NL

[BotleySaint]

I can only assume all the sideways and backward passing is because nobody upfront is showing for the ball or getting into space. Why else would we keep going back.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Manning is so fucking shit.

Hang on - it’s ok - Downs coming on. Were saved.

The 2nd half is as bad as it gets. 

[benjii]

On comes Downs. 

Very important we leave the 3 CBs on, though .

This is the problem we may not be able to get rid of SR but we can hit them with not attending games and yes I know that's difficult to do as a fan but if we want change its needed! 

[Sheaf Saint]

Downs on for Jander.

So 3 CBs still on the pitch, and now one less in midfield.

Amazing.

[Lone ranger]

Is relegation now inevitable unless we buy a proven ( and expensive) goal scorer?

Ralph in as DoF, Lallana manager until end of season, Still and Spors gone. Ralph needs full control to get a spine in place for January, avoid the drop and review how Adam has done in May if we stay up.

Yes, but make sure they take Still and our coaches with them.

That first touch from downs was horrendous
