I would say the Armstrong from 2yrs ago in our promotion season would of scored a lot more goals this season than the current version.  

I think he's on the dip and his loan at wba showed he's not this goal scoring messiah in the championship, he was, but he's not anymore.

He has what 11 goals, I'd say he should be up nearer to 16/17 with some of the chances he's missed.

He played on the wing two years ago and now he's playing up front. He was rubbish up front two years ago too. There's no way you can compare the two

Well done Sports Republic for making this the most boring uninspiring and pointless chapter in recent years for Southampton. Seriously well done. 👏🏻

Exactly.

We've been pretty crap but one highlight is we have a consistent Championship level top 5 scorer in our team.

I'm not always his biggest fan , we all know his weaknesses,  chances missed, runs without scoring , but he such a decent all round attacker.

I think lots of fans may regret wishing him gone.

We just need to sign a fit version of Ross Stewart and shift out Archer...this is the common sense move for me. 

4-2-3-1.

Either Stewart or new big guy as the 1.

Azaz centre of the 3 with either Scienza, Armstrong,  Fellows or Robinson in the wide positions. 

Or 4-3-3. 

Drop Azaz. Play Charles,  Downes, Jander or Bragg in the 3. 

New big fella or Stewart with two wide men ... Scienza, Fellows , Armstrong or Robinson .

Are we a team trying to get back to the Prem League though? You wouldn’t buy a 7m German 2 striker say he wouldn’t be loaned out without a replacement- he was - potentially now selling our and leagues top scorer without a replacement in the club.

Would appointing a 32year old manager without experience also look like going for promotion?

I wouldn’t trust SR with 50p 

Well since you put it like this, It's madness isn't it 🤣

Absolute fucking clowns at the helm, it's embarrassing like so dogshit and amatuer....... 

Surely they must realise how stupid they have been?

Last season?

Didnt Spors and whoever else try to suggest that Downes was this sort of player and would score loads? SR simply can’t be trusted and have pretty much lost the fanbase 

Well this guy is a centre back not a centre forward, and has played a grand total of 5 games in men’s football.
 

I’d suggest if we really need a centre back, this is not what we need! 
 

another SR project.

I don’t think they do - the balance sheet must look good and if can get rid of Aribo/Ezodie the wage bill looks so good for them. Forgetting like Lowe did the main thing at club should be the players on the pitch get that right money flows in

As mad a s SR are...they aren't selling Armstrong without a few replacements coming in! Calm....

that wasn't the prose of my observation, it was Armstrong v Armstrong and his waning powers. 

I would also point out he's scored 1 pen but missed 2 this season.

Has anyone bought Sargent yet? He's just needing a boost from being stuck in a struggling championship team...ah...

I for one am Les Reed-relaxed at the prospect of SR recruiting replacements for our leading scorer. 

[Pilchards]

Hope Armstrong is sold off very soon.

Only got to see from the Pompey game it’s all about him. Bad in the changing room with the few others that are getting binned off.

Oh, so that's all good then.

They have a brilliant record in scouting goalscorers.
