You’ve forgotten the save from Stansfield already?

In what way has Edozie been messed around ? It seems he had the chance to go to Belgium but chose not to. We’ll never know if he was told “fuck off , you’ll not play for us again” or if he chose to stay and sit on his arse. Seems like his choice to me.

Definitely. He played CB, MF, and from time to time was a stand in centre forward when Ron Davies was injured. I think it was the following season to the one shown v Palace, 1970/71 when he spent a few weeks up front. Scored the winner v Man Utd at The Dell. A player I noticed in the Palace match highlights was Hugh Fisher. A lot of our play seemed to go through him. ( Unusual and good bit of skill from him at one point in the first half). Never the same player again after his injury.

The amount of people that suddenly start posting after years of lurking is hilarious 🤣

I used to post on saints forever when Keith ran it, then never bothered signing back up again until recently.

Or 4 centre backs?

The rotation excuse is bollocks, dunno why he’s taking advice from the same people that gave Ross Stewart the thumbs up on his medical. Our promotion side under Adkins were fitter than this, and mostly featured the same players each match.

Bad wolf doesn’t post any more either, though that’s probably for the best, as he had proper issues that lad. Was last seen saying he was done with the club and hoped we got relegated with record low points total. Then bizarrely came back to gloat when Martin was fired and Juric didn’t do any better. Proper weirdo

Another lurker 🤣

I wasn’t registered before, just viewed without signing up

Sorry, I’m obviously being a bit dim but why is that a Rachel Reeves thing? In slightly relevant news…..My folks have both had flu lately and it’s hit them harder than Covid ever did. From what I read a couple of months back, it’s a bit of a new variant that came about after the mass production of the winter supply of vaccine. I know my parents are older but to see them today when they’re both still recovering from it, it’s absolutely battered the pair of them.

Jimmy Gabriel. What a player. Could do with one like him right now. Think he would have been great in the modern game.

Alpine stopped posting well before you “started”. Who were you before?

With Aribo now thankfully disappearing from the matchday squads and Edozie giving his "I'll be playing again soon" hints, are they gone yet? I do think Edozie could still be a good player for us, but has been messed around a lot and obviously both been told they would be moving on and yet haven't found a club. Puts us in a bad position, only likely to make the bare minimum on the players, but in the meantime probably eating up a large chunk of salary for doing nothing (see also Stewart, Long, Downs etc).

Gav/Alex pack your bags son.

Donnie ready to intervene in Iran but continues to steer clear of confronting Putin.

Knowing Eckert he’ll play them both against Doncaster and one will end up getting injured and missing Fratton.

You just know come this game one of them will Be on the bench and replace the other on 60 minutes

I know that it seems easy to say it like that but if you think about it, it isn’t. Eckert went from having a secure gig with the youngsters to being put as head honcho (temporarily) into a Championship job. A “caretaker” is most often a short term thing until a new manager is brought in. Caretaker until the end of the season is a long time, and if he had done that it’s harder to see how he would just pick up his old job with us again. Ergo, he’d be agreeing to a likely dismissal in a few months time. Also, players are a notoriously fickle and delicate bunch who want long term security themselves by having a manager they think will stay around. I think the club probably made the best of it at that time given they had decided on Eckert and not a recognised manager: give him a contract so it looks a bit secure, then if they bin him at the end of the season he gets a year in compensation.

Not least from Saints Loyal….

I did used to have contacts within the club but that was a couple of years ago. I do still know one or two that are closing to the set up so hear the odd thing, but nothing spectacular.

Cumbria based aren’t you? A66 I expect. Take it easy in the icy conditions, beautiful road though and great scenery. Bet the wind is keen over Cross Fell!

Possible, but he should have given them some in the interviews after yesterday and Oxford, but if true, bottled it. Shouldn’t be in post regardless of age - the lad at Brighton wouldn’t shirk doing it and doesn’t. Better still, drop the troublemakers and bomb them out this month. The squad is big enough to do so.
