I heard similar. For once, we can’t actually lay the blame of this pathetic bubble at the police. They were happy with similar arrangements to the cup game but the club, ably supported by the poxy advisory boards, pushed the bubble.

I agree with some of what you say but 6 wins from 7 games is handy to have on his current Saint's CV.

that makes Stills performance even worse. You can make the excuses about giving new players time to settle, missed chances etc but some of the performances were abject. I, like a lot of people thought Stills issue was he didnt have the gravitas and experience to turn this lot round, i thought we need someone more experienced and a figure end in charge who had been there and done it, yet a guy with even less experience has done it. It's early days and he hasn't got everything right but as good as he's been he's also highlighted how bad Still was.

Better get back to your village, they are missng their idiot.

To be fair to Lego head, this was probably one area he was excellent in. Keeping the ball, sucking the life out of the game and seeing out the victory. It’s a difficult league we it’s games coming up quickly, handling it is something he has to learn quickly. He seems to understand the need to protect players & ease through when games are won, but the implementation isn’t quite there. Had he left Leo on & he’d got injured in the 85th minute , he’d be getting pelters. This is the first time Leo will have played a season like this, so it’s understandable we need to protect him a bit. Everytime he comes off they’ll be a drop off, same with Fellowes. Whilst I understand the rationale, the execution isn’t quite right imo. For me we’re still set up to be open and outplay sides, but with the mentality of seeing out the game, we’ve just swapped top players for slightly worse ones. Add to that the mentality of “hold what we have” and we’re caught between 2 stools. Personally, I’d rather he adapted tactically to see the game out rather than just swap inferior players in. . As the half went on, id rather he had Jack or Edwards on the right instead of bringing in Frazier, sat Jander in front of them . Leaving OR & Downes centrally. You could even have done the same the other side with Wellington or Manning in front of other. There’s no way WBA were scoring 3 if we set up to see it through & had that mindset. im sure there will be lessons learnt. Had we needed 5, we’d have come out with that mindset and got them. Nothing I’ve seen indicates this guy won’t adapt and work out how to see games out his way with minimum fuss.

Not a bad shout.

Set the team up a bit too high on reflection. Attempted to camp opponents into their half which sounds good but meant when you win the ball back there’s quite a lot of players to get through. Now we’re set up slightly deeper and have better patterns of play. Players are clearly responding to that detail but ultimately the space the deeper set up allows is there to be exploited by an attack that’s best attributes are dribbling. Also, and this probably ties into the above set up but I really can’t stress enough how much more ruthless we’ve become up front. You take your chances and the game looks so much better.

Positive, especially given their other forward is a doubt too. We always struggle against Sargent, well we do against any tall/physical CF. I'm not sure who else they have? I'm sure their Danish CF is injured too. These games do make me nervous though, on paper they are depleted, 23rd in the league pretty poor. We did an easy job against them in the league cup, but this is a different context.

They were the ones pushing for it, both our fans and the skates fans wanted the bubble. If what i've heard is correct the police weren't actually pushing for it, but based on the club and fans groups they went with it. Absolutely fucking galling that a small group of fans who don't represent the people who actually want to do Fratton away get to make a decision that basically ruins the best away game of the season. The Saints Voice, THE ONLY VOICE! It's hardly a surprise that lot wanted a bubble is it?

We have free speech Nic. Fortunately we also have an increased intolerance for nasty bastards who go over the top and down the otherside. We also have people who are too thick (and usually bigoted) to understand the difference. I cast no aspersions of course.

Takes me back to the 93/94 season I think it was, super Ken Monkou , what a game

I guess we'll see what happens with Jelert first. A strange loan really, looked like he came with pedigree and has actually looked capable when played - but that's what, 1 or 2 games? I imagine he'll go, as well as Bree, so we'll have a full back slot to fill.

Look at the improvement in Armstrong, Finn, Downes back to best, Fellows but the best for me is Taylor was my MOTM last night . Tonda has to be given credit for this alone.

Welcome back to posting nutty nic, we have missed your utterings of absolute nonsense, we do still see your emojis though, bless you😘 You are favourite Putin/Trump apologist

It’s just weird isn’t it. One of the most highly rated managers in Europe when we got him. Absolutely clueless when he was here and I mean so bad. I just don’t get it.

Meanwhile under labour we have a record number if arrests for social media posts. The UK now leads the world in NO free speech. But nope, it's only Trump doing it.

5 nil half time. 5-4 full time. To Saints.

Unbelievable really.

As awful as he was previously, last night he was the needed experienced head.

But what if you don't do Social Media ? I don't use X, TikTok, Instagram, or any other platform. Just another reason NOT to visit the "Land of the Free". Is Trump so paranoid and afraid of criticism ?

Probably a bit of both.
