And we're done. 

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

Agree. Need fresh legs for the relegation battle. 

[LGTL]

Our transition into Stoke/Swansea is gathering pace!

[stknowle]

Utter shite defining again. Totally outclassed since they made their subs which TBF is no surprise.

Yes the second worst prem team in existence.

[saint michael]

Every manager talks about losses in terms of individual errors. Well this is.a team of  individual errors

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

 

We don't have anywhere near enough depth right now, we have to pray for limited injuries. Our first choice XI will be too strong for a lot of teams but we aren't close, on tonight's performance, to West Ham and probably not to Wolves either.

[Cuddles]

Are we dead yet?

[whelk]

Edozie in the shop window lol

[egg]

I'm glad I declined a free ticket tonight. 

Absolute shambles. 

[lambtiss]

Any team low on confidence must look on the calendar to see when they are playing us

[Sir Ralph]

Dobbin, fellows, Stephen’s, edozie, Bree and wellington - none of them good enough. Matsuki isn’t a cm. Needs big moves in the window that I don’t think will happen

[Saint Fan CaM]

WTF?

Why was Edozie acting as a LB?

Is this some stupid inverted inversion position or something?

Shambles.

[6ft8saint]

When is he going to bin jack stephens he's a liability 

[Gloucester Saint]

If we don’t beat Millwall, and that looks very unlikely, then time to jump the shark with the FA.

Seen enough already this season. Yes, Spors and Solak are dragging their feet on replacing Shea but the attitude and lack of energy, interest and application is rapidly becoming a feature. 

[Jack]

Edozie needs to go too. Been here far too long and contributed nothing. His decision making is as bad as captain Jack’s 

[saint-ross]

No cheating, no party, so it seems....

Cremated. 

[die Mannyschaft]

Terrible defenders and midfield. Poor football.  

[DrSuess1979]

Awful

Next season when we sell anything remotely decent but that will still leave us with Stephens

Fixed it for you 🙂

[SWLondon Saint]

To be fair to him, Stephens played decently in the big run last season, but I've only watched the last 15 minutes and he has been utter gash the entire time. Wood not much better with 1 hideous telegraphed pass that got cut out.

[Baird of the land]

Handy wake-up call. Hopefully will shift the CM signing from urgent to imminent.

[coalman]

We completely brought this on ourselves. We were comfortably on top then let our intensity drop to criminally low levels. The glacially slow play around the back invited West Ham back into the game and now we have no clue how to turn it around.

Bree, Wellington and Fellows were fine last season. 

[whelk]

Glad the play offs reach eight place

[sadoldgit]

No Larin no glue up front

[trousers]

Now watch Larin get injured...

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Just watch Larin get injured now

[SNSUN]

Need a CM as good or better than Charles was, 2 CBs, one as good or better than THB, one that just has to be better than Jack, a back up keeper that is better than George Long.

4 signings that can make or break the window. (We could also improve RB, RW and striker but let's not be greedy eh) Not a lot of time to do all that business. Not going to happen is it...

[Sir Ralph]

Good bye dobbin - useless

[Gloucester Saint]

Urgent you say?

If this was anywhere but SFC, then maybe. Can anyone else see the obvious issue?

Wellington barely played and fellows was poor

Nope

Larin will get injured

Dobbin is trotting off

Won't be of interest to us at this rate.

[Pamplemousse]

Millwall will be the real acid test. A loss there and I'll be concerned.

[Toussaint]

I’m just proud that we have kick started West Ham’s season.

We might have some hope until February

Wish they went to 18th place...

[StrangelyBrown]

We're a couple of decent CBs and a midfielder away from a decent side. But we all know that... Come on spors, work some magic

Get concerned 

[Toussaint]

Dobbin is bobbins as they say up north.

He was even worse in the prior 60.

Wood is poor but at least he’s tried to be positive, even if he was a wet wipe for their first. Jack actively assisted their second with a lazy pass.

Called it! 😂 Not that it wasn't blindingly obvious the way it was going! .... Could get worse 🙏🤞 

[saint michael]

Ah yes 80 mins gone 3 1 down. Let’s play it along the back 

[badgerx16]

The problem with putting Larin on is that somebodystill  has to actually create the openings for him.
