When are we allowed to 'melt-down'? I need to mark it in my diary.

Need some signings don't we

Play like this on Saturday and Millwall will win easily

We haven't really played well in any game so far... 

[Jack]

We look decent in spells when we shift the ball quickly but we keep just trying to play walking football and give it away cheaply. Whenever we’ve got space to get forward we stand on the ball. Pathetic. 

[saint michael]

Poor fitness and slow thinking. Results in indecision low risk and backwards and sideward passing 

[Saint_clark]

Stephens has given the ball away time after time after time after time. Fuck. Him. Off.

We need to play with some intensity.

[Wade Garrett]

Might as well sub Stephens for a traffic cone.

[Baird of the land]

Once again gets to midfield and they just do nothing and we end up giving the ball away.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Stephens needs to come off. For his own good as much as anything else. Another needless giveway

[egg]

If we improve 50%, we may become shite. 

Losing to this reserve team, playing like this, at home, is a disgrace.

Ripping us apart at the moment which isn't a huge surprise with the prem players on.

when we see us being pretty inconsistent this season, scrapping for 7/8th place, the damage Tonda has done will be front and centre.

But they were cutting through easily even before that vs plodding disinterested Saints.

[LeG]

Is Jack ok? Genuinely?

Manager after manager watches him play like this but never sub him off or drop him. What the fuck are they seeing that make him so vital?

Yep. Personnel is a factor, but there's more wrong than that. 

[sockeye]

Has Stephens dropped acid before this game?

No, he's shit

[Pamplemousse]

The win on Saturday papered over the cracks. Defence an obvious priority but midfield too.

Have the club forgotten the transfer window is open or do we always just have to wait until the last few fucking days? Drives me potty 

It’s like a bloke getting the family presents on Christmas Eve on a mad dash.

Reminds me of when all the NBA players had their ability stolen in Space Jam.

When you have Jack’s ability, it doesn’t take much to look absolutely fucking shit, unfortunately.

3 of our starting back 4 have been Premier League players.

Yep but nothing on the horizon it seems

Yep. The tempo has been so shit this season. 
 

Tonda needs to remind himself what made us good last season. Because at the moment we’ve got Christmas and new year Tonda, not unbeaten run Tonda.

Papered over the fissure really. Could have easily been 2-1 to Stoke instead

[OneMrsWallace]

Stephens confidence is at zero now. No place for him in the team. I'd love to think we'll buy two CBs but we won't. Get the THB money in asap and start buying players FFS.

It's utterly maddening. We do this over and over with the likes of Bazuno, Bednarek, Vestegaard, Mara, BBD... the list goes on and on and on...

 

FFS!

God we need some signings.

[benjii]

Too many people passing like spastics tonight.

[DT]

Shocked I am that Stephens playing means we are shit. Shocked I tell you. Someone injure him please in a reasonably untrivial way

Game over

[DT]

FFS

[Suhari]

Very, very poor all round.

[Saint_clark]

Stephens backing out of a challenge where the ball was there to be won so he could...erm...back off...and...not do anything. 

[LGTL]

Bowen is, unsurprisingly, on another planet to the rest of the pitch.

[sockeye]

Fuck off, just fuck off

Embarrassing display tonight

[John Boy Saint]

Piss easy

Time for more for wh 

[Colinjb]

And we're done. 

Well, focus on the league. We'll bloody need to on this basis.

[CB Fry]

Come on lads we can still win this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hahahahahahahaha not really we've fucked it

[Disco Stu]

I feel we've helped kickstart their season here.

[James]

We do look pretty underpowered against a second/third string West Ham...

[Pamplemousse]

Good to see our two centre backs making sure their big striker is marked at all times...

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Got a nasty feeling this is going to be a long, disappointing season.

 

[Ken Tone]

Not only are we playing crap and losing,  but also we are giving a major promotion rival a huge boost to their confidence. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Edozie is another one who can just fuck off
