Excellent PR move by Sport Republic 👏🏻

Consistency is a very important trait for a goalkeeper.

This season and next, about 18months at the time of announcement

Part of the reason the subs don't make an impact is because we are rarely making a tactical switch. If you take off Fellows and put Fraser in the same position, it is unlikely he will suddenly do better. Ditto Archer / Armstrong or Aribo / Azaz. By contrast if we put Fraser on as a left winger, perhaps he might get on the end of something in-field and score a goal.

He will just be replaced by another 30-something blank template Rasmus will control. Focus on getting rid of SR.

Shouldn’t be anywhere near the first team, legs totally gone should do the honorable thing and walk away, literally just using the club for a pension. No better than Walcott & Lallana.

Exactly this. You want your best player playing as long as he can, every game. Playing Stewart 3 times in a week was madness given his injury record but Scienza is not Stewart. It seems crazy to me that we have to sub our best player after 60 minutes every week.

How long is his contract?

Watched them earlier. Although they struggled to break Derby down, they are big, direct and aggressive. I know we beat them earlier this month but the way we have gone backwards since then points to only one outcome.

The 2 I went to couldn't be more contrasting Charlton and Millwall. Admit Charlton were almost a leaque 1 side so that was an easy win but we executed the win very well. Millwall I thought we got completely out played even if scoreline looked close. Millwall missed 5 or 6 sitters. The subs completely ruin any game plan and is panic sit back mode. No one takes risks going forward and that's the issue we don't have a team, all 18 who are able to play front foot football. The 11 on the pitch varies so much its not a working unit from say 35 mins 1st sub, to 48 mins 2nd to 80 mins 3rd. 4th sub or any sub combination. We are totally reliant on Scienza, Fellows and a few others that football can only be played to how manger wants in best 11. Even with Ross out we lacking up front. Millwall added time we could of gone all attack but had subs that meant couldn't do that, making 10 passes instead of crossing ball in danger area. Saints cant play the basics of football as keep changing players resulting in strange indecisive football.

In isolation a fair point but Ross is made of glass and Leo/Tom a bit more substantial.

It's not happening. He's still going to be in goal for the last game of yet another shit show of a season

Typical - any chance to tell a bloke he’s crossed a line!

How it works in my mind is how it’s always worked. The results aren’t solely a verdict of how good a manager is and other factors like the players are a much bigger factor. Wins or losses. And a club/fanbase which has gone through the amount we have this year probably should know that by now.

Think it's more than two

He's a liability. I'll assume we won't get anyone in that early in January so we still have three more league games to endure, but when we play Hull, a new keeper is essential, we need someone ready to come in immediately.

Yeah he did, I’ve never actually said otherwise personally. I’d take that every day of the week over what’s Happening this season , and I’d hope anyone else would too given we had about 12 more points at this stage

So, away form is someone else's fault, but he gets the credit for home form - that's how it works isn't it?

After todays game Baz is now last for shot-stopping this season (5+ games, PSxG). He’s been last in every league he’s played in. That isn’t bad luck - that’s a pattern. He’d be the worst keeper in League One and Two. What’s truly insane about Baz is that it doesn’t matter how you filter the data – long passing completion%, sweeper actions, crosses, goal kicks – he is bottom of the chart in every single category.

Welcome aboard my Russell Martin actually did a good job for us at this level train. Ignore the haters on the outside, we’ll gather who we can along the slow and bumpy journey, I promise you. Probably could have a look at the form under the other manager we’ve had this season and see if there’s any major similarities like for example the squad? But just a thought.

Evidence of what? Eckert wasn't the manager then was he?

The only prior manager we could compare him to is Russell Martin, being he was the only other manager managing at the same level, ie the championship. Russell Martin didn’t ever lose 3 away games in a row in the league. The other managers managed at premier league level, so we could use those stats, but they’d not be comparing like with like as the premier league is a whole level up, and as we didn’t have a squad worth comfortably more than 95% of the teams in the premier league, so it isn’t a valid comparison. But then of course you knew that. Any more queries I’ll be happy to clear them up for you Jordan

That was crap and so cold. We’ve been completely figured out. Why are we subbing players off to save for next week when we were struggling enough today? Get the game in front of you won first. Their first is a decent strike but again, all comes from us getting pinned back on a set piece because our continually backed terrible goalkeeper invites so much pressure.

Well said love….

Bloody hell he's lost two games
