The Curse of St Mary's

Downes won't be fit it seems which is not necessarily a bad thing as he's been pretty crap. Move Charles to CDM. Janny B and TBH the obvious pairing but both are slow so this inverted full back bollocks will expose them. Get a feeling we have picked up a few knocks out there tonight so could be a few changes. Sullemana will be suspended unless we win an appeal but he looked rubbish tbf.

Leicester were far from clinical the missed 3/4 huge chances. Fraser chance aside I can't recall much else we created. Adams and Downes getting in each others way in first half I suppose but still slim pickings. He's deluded.

To be honest mavividi should have scored four tonight. We should have lost by 8/9 no joke it was that bad. We aren't even creating anything. The whole system is failing and forcing players into mistakes. KWP and Manning positions are a huge problem

RM got selection badly wrong. No way Shea Charles deserved to be dropped. Glaring lack of creativity in that starting 11. Holgate just shocking. RM must be regretting his foolish comments about Bazuna.

Tall Paul only been linked with Genk in recent times which fell through so maybe club have accepted he will still be here come window closing therefore they have decided to ship Mara and Ballard instead 😳

The 6 out I assume would be Che, Mara, Tall Paul, ABK, Sulemana and one other - hopefully not KWP but someone like Bree 4 in - Stewart, Roberts, THB and surely another striker if three strikers leave

He brought energy but no way he led the line well at all

Did anyone who went to the open training session at SMS notice how slow Perraud was when the players had to sprint half the length of the pitch? He then did another length by himself. Maybe punishment 😬

Larios is a weird one. Club been very quiet on him. He took part in most of the open training session at St Mary's but I don't think he's played in the recent behind doors friendlies. He's way too short to be a championship fullback.

Ballard starting this evening with Che and Tella not being in squad tomorrow would be madness which makes me think at least Che will be in squad tomorrow 🤞

We know Tella scores goals at this level but jury out still on Sulemana. His ceiling alot higher than Tella imo but he's yet to prove he can consistently score goals so it's a big risk from saints assuming Sulemana stays

Fulham possibly? No links yet but they are on look out for a striker apparently

RM has gone on record saying Che will need replacing if he leaves. RM will not want to rely on Tall Paul and Mara who both stink the place out. Mara was awful in his cameo role last Saturday. Potential loggerheads with Wilcox and board if the opinions aren't shared but it's crystal clear to anyone with sense that both Tall Paul and Mara are not good enough.

He has questionable commitment and attitude plus his positional sense is extremely raw at the moment especially on crosses much like bednarek and Stephens so i wouldn't lose any sleep if he got sold.

Cameron Archer closing in on £18m move to Sheffield utd and Leeds in talks with Swansea over Piroe. We are running out of options for a decent championship experienced striker

Likely primed for a move to the Saudi Pro league where they won't give a shit about his history. Absolute PR disaster for anyone else.

They played well against Ipswich yesterday. Sinclair Armstrong upfront is a threat. Strong as an ox and very quick.

Stu, bednarek and possibly Tella is my guess

The doomsayers are on mass it seems. It was nowhere near as bad as some make out. We need to plug the gap between defence and midfield to help contain the counters. Overall defended well I thought. A bit more guile in final third as well needed. SAA for Tella and perhaps stick lyanco in the middle with Charles given we have no other midfielders.
