Disco Stu

🤷‍♂️

Depressing that he's still here. All the comments I see from other fanbases are pretty much along the lines of "I hope he's still there when we play them".

They could have just made a bigger version of the Markus Liebherr banner and it would be a clear improvement. I also thought we could have done something with the "saintly monk" design instead of the generic slogan we went with. What we've ended up with is what happens when you don't include the fanbase in the design process and instead, ask them to pick from a bad bunch.

I suspect he wouldn't want to do it again. I also suspect Newcastle being a much bigger club was a significant factor.

It was a good idea after giving the entire Northam end to the home fans but its been executed so poorly. Feels like a missed opportunity to make a real impactful banner to reveal every game rather than something that's so cringey. All the best tifo banners use symbolic imagery not cheesy slogans like "Pride of the South" or "We March On" that sound like they've been thought up in a corporate setting. Generic. Terrible font. No impact. Forgettable. FFS!

Whoever we bring in will now have to be someone willing to manage us in the Championship. That means not David Moyes, not Graham Potter and definitely not Rafa Benitez. You'd imagine names like Carlos Corberan, Michael Carrick and John Eustace are on the shortlist as well as a few obscure names from overseas. If Everton's new owners intend to replace Sean Dyche, I'd take him in a heartbeat. Experience of promoting teams and making them competitive in the Premier League is the ideal CV. Danny Rohl would be an interesting left field option given the job he's done at Wednesday and already knowing the club. Knowing Sport Republic, we'll end up with another nutjob 😂

And the rest of the league lets out a cheer!

I was hoping Martin would be gone by this game before he could do any more damage. The amount of goals his teams concede is alarming.

That's Russell Martin's speciality. He takes pride in it.

He was on my shortlist so I'm very pleased!

If we play like we did against Ipswich, we'll lose.

Oh look, he came up against a seasoned manager with more nous in Jovanovic and look what happened.

Blowing £x amount on sacking Martin and his team and spending £x amount on replacements doesn't guarantee success as is the case every time we've changed manager. It does however guarantee that we won't have to watch Russball anymore. If we assume the long-term goal is to ultimately become an established Premier League club again, we know Russball isn't the solution.

You must be trolling 😂 So you expect us to lose every game? Not even Russell Martin is deluded enough to think we're "exceeding expectations".

I stand by the opinion he is our best player. It was a joke to drop him. If Russell insisted on playing Taylor, he should have dropped Sugawara. Sugawara has looked decent but he isn't at KWP's level.

Where's this myth that we played well against Ipswich come from? Yes we came close to winning but Ipswich were the better side that day.

Standard Russell Martin not playing to our strengths.

I'm not sure we'd be winless in 7 if we actually played this guy. Might have at least managed another draw. He needs to play. I feel the same about ABK.

At least it won't be decided by a dodgy VAR decision.

Onauchu should have been way ahead of Stewart in the pecking order.

They are two different types of player. Ward-Prowse is also the better player. And believe me there are some on here that think Downes is the better footballer. There's a couple here on the last page of the JWP thread. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/60086-james-ward-prowse/page/31/

Genuinely hilariouis some on here think Downes in better than Ward-Prowse.

I hope you enjoyed those 2 minutes lads.

Some good last ditch defending. Problem is when we have the ball. Numerous occassions be could have countered but slowed it down, took it back to our half and allowed them to re-organise.

Pulled a quad it looks like.
