Lee On Solent Saint

No, not good enough at all.

I'd get rid of him now. Don't care its only 4 games in.

To be fair, if Woods ever starts a Premier League game then we are in even more trouble.

Tough to make United look like world beaters these days. Yet somehow we managed it.

Can imagine what the post match interview will be like. Will be no mention of the inept performance, Martin will just focus on how unlucky Stephens was to be sent off.

I don't give a shit what ABK has done in the past, he's our best centre half and needs to start.

If Bednarek is one centre half, the other needs to be either ABK or THB. How many more games do we have to watch Stephens aimlessly ball watch.

Discusses beards with Stephens

Ramsdale keeping this score down

Urgh. There it is.

Absolutely! Hope it's a correct one this afternoon

If Dave's predictions came true every week, we'd be Premier League champions!

Am guessing it will THB that gets dropped if we change formation. Much easier to drop him than Stephens.

Goblets, now that takes me back a fair few years

Well

Whilst I agree that THB has had a shaky start to the season, I don't think that playing Stephens regularly as a centre back is the answer.

He hardly set the world alight when we were last in the PL.

Yeah, its been frustrating to watch. Against Forest there was a real sense of a wasted opportunity. They were pretty average and I come away with a feeling that we didn't really have a go at them. I think if we produce a similar display against Ipswich, it will start to get a little uncomfortable for Martin.

Not sure I would agree with that. I would say the Forest game was more than a disappointment. I think you'll see a discernable shift in the goodwill should we lose at home to Ipswich.

I think he leaves if we lose to both Ipswich and Bournemouth. Can't see him going beyond that. It will be getting into Jones territory with the crowd.

Have no fear, am sure his strongest side will still incude Stephens.

I see our old friend DCC is a sub tonight for Croatia.

I've no doubt we would sell out, even at those prices. I've got three others to buy for, so at £90 a ticket I would politely decline.

Would you? Because I sure as hell wouldn't.

It's a bit of a shame really. The squad as it stands are much more personable than when we were relegated. We seem to have guys like Stephens, Armstrong and Smallbone who seem to care about the club, but probably on quality shouldn't still be here.
