What is known about our interim manager? Any insights?

SR sacked Ralph after 14 games with Saints on 12 points - which after 14 games this season would have us 3 points above the relegation zone. Today after 14 games we are 4 points adrift at the bottom on 5 points.

I second your view. When Leicester won the league they regularly defended corners with Vardy and Mahrez stationed on the halfway line, one on each touchline.

Crazy not to have learnt from the 2 conceded v United from having no-one on the edge of the area when defending corners.

Can we keep comments to Saints game. Some of us hope to watch other matches later without knowing the scores

To the tune of Respectable by Mel & Kim: CHE, CHE, CHE, CHE, CHE-CHE, CH-CH-CH, CHE, CHE! CHE MCADAMS, HE IS SCOTLAND'S FINEST AND HE'S ALWAYS GONNA GET THE SAINTS A GOAL!

Doesn't appear to be correct though if they are saying seven seasons in a row e.g. in 2017/18 we lost both games against the reigning champions Man City. Similarly in 2018/19 we lost both games against then reigning champs Chelsea.

Ralph is a fantastic manager, but today's lopsided bench of 4 attackers and only 1 defender was a selection error, which limited our options for responding to the injuries. Hopefully a lesson learned for future matches.

Saint in Winchester is right. https://www.patreon.com/m/5053004/membership is the sign up page if you want to help TSP fund the costs of hiring a video editor so that the pod can continue next season. I just did it and was very easy. If you enjoy the show and think it worth £2.50 an episode please spread the word by whatever means at your disposal to your Saints mates.

Romeu was a deserved Player of the Season not so long ago. Starting regularly makes a big difference

It was very noticeable how the Sheff Sheff Utd GK always tried to throw the ball out quickly and get his team on the attack while Saints had men committed forward. McCarthy should do a lot more of this, especially when we are playing against a 5-man defence.

I agree 100%

N-o-o-o-o!!!! I so wish I hadn't read that. #scary

Not harsh. I think you are right. He did plenty of good things too though. And I don't think Jan Valery would have done better.
