I doubt it’s even him, he does what he’s ordered to do by the think tank 

[Lord Duckhunter]

That’s disgraceful. 
 

Jander, one of the worst performances I’ve seen. Fellows & Azaz, too soft. Archer, just shite. Wellington & Bree getting a bit of a chasing, but to be fair to those 2 they’re up against decent players. Even Downs is struggling, but again, in fairness he’s not getting any help in there. 
 

Easy to blame Tonda, but he’s not the one being out battled, losing 50/50’s and giving the ball away.

Boy are you lot going to feel silly when we win this 4-3 ...

We won’t even score 1. This team has zero backbone or fight

At least we've got six months to prepare for next season now.*

*Which we also had this time last year having only signed Gronbaek on loan in January and we still didn't do anything until late August and several matches into the season.

Actually we signed Quarshie and Downs in July. One that was shit and one the doesn't get near our starting 11. We then waited until late August to bring in Roerslev. Then crammed all our other activity in to the last two days of the window.

So badly run this club. They'd better get their shit together in the summer, SR. Starting with the manager.

[Saint NL]

Genuinely considering switching this off. I've never done that before, that's how bad this is

[CB Fry]

The cunts are replaying all the goals on the big screen at half time.

Why do most managers wait until half time before making changes when it's obvious things aren't working? You can't imagine the likes of Mourinho or Guadiola not making any chances during that first half. Just so f***ing dogmatic and/or weak. 

Wouldn't surprise me if he makes no changes till 60 minutes.

Nah, he's the clown who decided it would be a good idea to start Archer and leave out Stewart/Larin.

[Chez]

The actual quality of our players becomes very clear when they are put against talented opponents.

Certainly don't disagree with this but what I would say is as soon as you start Archer, you give the opposition a lift. 

They know they will get the ball straight back.

[die Mannyschaft]

Wasted trip up here.

Shit performance,  cricky get Russell Martin back this is diabolical. Have we got any tactics or idea at all. Get these data spreadsheets out and get proper coaches in.

Buy luxury player that's what you get. Keep reverting to stupid football every other match. Who is the idiot telling players to keep passing back giving ball away for goals. Why cant we buy fast players not walking robots.

[Sheaf Saint]

I posted earlier in the now split off thread about Alan Ball telling the story of going out on the beers the night before the 66 final.

Can only assume Jander did the same last night.

No, but he does set the team up. And he does sit around silently with his hands in his pockets as we sink. 

[BotleySaint]

Larin hat trick incoming!!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Once again we revert to slowly pass, pass, pass and allow them to get 11 men behind the ball. We’re not scoring tonight at all unless that gets changed and that means getting Jander off for Cyle Larin and putting Archer off his shoulder. Get Azaz to drop back into midfield to be the box to box man Jander is supposed to be. 

[St. Mulv]

Any streams other than Fawa News?

[Saint Scott]

 

[the colonel]

What has happened to the commentary on FawaNew? It was Adam and Jo now listening to Leicester commentators speaking as if they are winning the champions league, that LC are so good.

[Saint NL]

Hahahaha triple sub here we go

[goodymatt]

Stewart, Matsuki and Charles coming on

No fucking credit for Tonda here for subs. Should have started with these the wanker

Yes and when they are put any kind of pressure they just fold.

That’s not the reason Jander put in one of the worst performances for years, that’s not the reason their wide men are terrorising the full backs or fellows gives a ridiculous back pass. That’s on the players, nobody else.

To late 

[SNSUN]

We beat them 3 nil, they beat us 3 nil. Level over two matches... i think I'd take a goalless second half right now. 

I'm up at half 4. Not sure I dare follow the second half.

But we did appoint Will Still in good time for the new season. ( So I’ve been reliably informed on here.).

SR recruitment and decision making at its best. An appalling selection that set the tone. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Tonda tombola.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Ah Eckhert has made a lot of changes - even ones that don’t need to be made. What a prize cock.

[trousers]

3 subs at half time... Underlines he should have made changes earlier...

TBF to Tonda, he's done the right thing. He can't help if the players don't put a shift in, so he's hauled them, GOOD. 

Starting Archer, BAD.

 

[Sheaf Saint]

What's going on with the audio? I don't want to listen to someone talk about fucking cricket - I want to know what the changes are.

[suewhistle]

I wouldn't disagree with any of those subs!

Eckert got us off on the wrong foot and the rest followed. No surprise.
