[Willo of Whiteley]

Azaz and Fellows have been amazing signings haven’t they.

Sack Still tonight and get someone else in. Should have done it last week and got Rohl in. He doesn’t know his best team and can’t get us playing despite us spending £60 in the summer.

Downs to the rescue!!

About as much chance as Blackadder, Baldrick et al coming out unscathed from the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth.

 

[Saint NL]

Good management by Still.

Downs coming on with a real lack of confidence, but even he can see that he can't be as bad as half these other losers. It'll perk him right up.

[RedArmy]

What kind of a cunt being Fellows on when he’s feeling sick and makes him play wing back and run the entire line too?

Once they acclimatise and we switch to our exciting 4231, we'll be unstoppable.

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.

Not under Still, that's for sure

Will Still is the Ginger Keir Starmer

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

You think a meek fan base such as ours are capable of putting pressure on these clowns?

[Saint_clark]

What's going on with Matsuki? Get him back in the team FFS. He looked brilliant and then he disappeared.

[Sunglasses Ron]

What a goal from Downs!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kidding!

[coalman]

Remember how much better things were when we had Wood and Quarshie as CBs in a back 4?

[SNSUN]

I forgot to put the game on after half time. Probably a decent decision in hindsight.

You are joking?

We will be paying off a LOT of people with Still and probably Spors et al, so wouldn’t be my first choice but we might not have much headroom another yet another clear out.

To have a really good fucking laff!

[obelisk]

Robinson bursts into the box and shoots miles wide. First Saints shot for ages.

McCarthy saves at the other end.

Been saying that for weeks. Likewise with our U21 wunderkind...

[Bazzyfryer]

When was the last time we recovered from a 2 goal deficit and won or even drew

Fixed it for you. Starmer is shit but not that shit.

[Saint86]

Macca just saved near post 😍

Downs on for Jander.

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

Amazing.

What sort of fuckwit does that…

Just fuck off Still

Didn’t realise it would take to acclimatise when moving from the midlands to the south coast.

[Osvaldorama]

Downs is honestly the worst player I’ve ever seen play for us. 
 

Without any hyperbole or exaggeration. He is really that bad. 

[hypochondriac]

The good news when we are so bad is that I just stop caring. I gave up after a few games last year and just coated to the end of the season trying to find the funny side out of it all. A couple more like this and I'll be doing the same this season.

Er nope. Wooden tops will clap them off.

[Farmer Saint]

Would take Ralph back now TBH. And Martin. And Nathan Jones.

There is absolutely zero point in sacking Still and replacing him with a man who isn't even a football manager. It'll be like Dodd/Gorman all over again.

[capitalsaint]

We've made the perfect signings to walk League One next year. Glad to have done our business so early.

I’ve got Cheltenham Town to watch with the return of Steve Cotterill. A better football manager on grass than Will Still playing his laptop will ever be.

[adrian lord]

A seemingly endless succession of deadbeat managers.

Your foresight is inspiring.

Someone suggested Carrick. If they can afford him we’d both be happier with that?

[pingpong]

I don't think still is the problem, it's the players.

I predict still will lose his hair before season is out, or at least turn grey.

[Suhari]

Decent cross from Manning.

Need a few of those now.

Fair. I did hear that the local comedy store was sold out.

In that he’s having to try and pick up the pieces from arrogant useless frauds in the years before him! 

[LGTL]

The time to have gotten a proven manager at this level was the fucking summer. The Still appointment was a complete joke and we don’t need hindsight to know that.

It's Russel Martin's fault. His presence haunts them. 

[Saint86]

Has downs touched the ball? It's impressive that Robinson has come on, managed to carry several attacks, and done it all whilst we're playing with 10men!

[Willo of Whiteley]

All three Bristol City goals have been defensive screw ups.

Agree with you on RH and Jones (even Dave Jones!). But Martin will be as bad a husk as the club after Rangers and his football is totally discredited.

That's just teasing. No way he's coming back.

[lambtiss]

I wish we had a decent manager like Nathan Jones

What's impressive is that people can slag Downs off for miss controlling the ball and not touching the ball once at the same time.
