I hate 3CBs, always have. This question is one of the easiest to answer. The worrying thing is that while our performances improved a bit after he was brought in as interim, Tonda seems wedded to the 3 CBs. The issue is, presently, we have no right backs fit and two left backs that aren't good defenders. Sort that out first. Also our better two CBs this season (low bar) have been THB and Wood, Jack is jack and I've not been sold on Quarshie since he signed. Edwards meanwhile isn't even getting a look in. I think it's hideously ironic that two positions we have quantity (CB and striker) are the two positions that need improving most.

"We don't play in positions, we play FROM positions." Said by one of the backroom staff many, many, years ago; in better times. But yes. Fuck off the 3cb bollox and play proper football.

I’m actually really worried we are going to be stuck with sports republic for a long long time, with the way it’s set up as this multi club model it seems very unlikely they would just cash out one of their pieces ?

Hardly the crimes of the century…..

Fair enough, didnt realise his numbers were that high. But thats still less than the numbers that Azaz has put up, and about the same as Scienza (who again only plays about an hour)

Can we just start again entirely? Would love to watch the Amazon prime doc of St Marys Soccerball Squadron FC tearing up the non league

And who started ahead of Charles in the playoff final, your mate Aribo and Will Smallbone 😂. Top quality there. No 'lego fan boy' whatever that is, but RMs tenure is going to look much better come the end of the season when we dont even make the playoffs

Yes. Although I will say that we played some of the most exciting football we’ve played in a decade during that little run last month, and that was with a back 3.

He was already fading when he left Saints , why anyone thought he come back and be an asset a few years later is incomprehensible ! at best.

He's dropped Stephens in order to bring in Quarshie, allegedly for his pace (though I don't think its worth it personally). McCarthy is not much better than Baz, he is probably marginally better but they are both shit really, don't think we would have increased our points total with Alex between the sticks, in the end we desparately need a new keeper (or our old one back). When we are playing a 3 rather than a 5 Manning is fine, but we keep letting the opposition back in and having to revert to a 5 at which point Manning becomes a liability, what we need to do is stop letting teams back in then Manning would not be so much of an issue.

Jelert is supposedly back from injury and Roerslev is a week away. Plus as things stand James Bree is back on Thursday.

Sorry, what? 😂

Fernandes taking inspiration from Ramsdale’s record.

Why bother having a manager eh? We were above Aston Villa the day they appointed Emery and we appointed Nathan Jones. What’s happened since has had nothing to do with managers. Nothing at all.

Bree is back next month

Captain Jack to the rescue!

SR don't do baskets and eggs, just crocks and shit.

Leeds have perked up, West Ham look in real bother now. KWP and Fernandes looking at back-to-back relegations.

Yes. Anything except the torturous shite we’ve had to endure recently.

This is such a ridiculous argument, lol. If formations and tactics do nothing, why does every single club in the history of football have a manager? If it’s unimportant and only down to players then surely they’d save money on a mangers wages? Why do some managers make a huge difference to a team instantly?

The social media team would love it

That twerp Jesse Marsch was on the Athletic podcast talking about getting fired from Leeds. He reckons he challenged the players to stand up and he counted rather than the board take the easy route and fire the manager. He talks a lot of shit, but this time he was probably right. Exactly the same thing needs to happen at Saints, we can fire yet another coach but at some point the players need to take a look at themselves. In summary, can we fire the manager AND the players?

Stockholm

Especially not taking advantage of playing against 10 men Coventry.

Whilst I think most agree a back 4 is the right formation, who are you playing at RB?
