Very little quality on show so far. I remember us being capable of playing some nice passing football at times…this squad doesn’t seem to remember how to pass to a teammate.

Decent for the championship?

For a manager with a nearly 50% win record it sure does feel like we lose a lot of games. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don’t think you understand what I mean. He has been better than Salisu… Salisu has been awful. Bednarek has been meh. Better than Salisu but still meh. Story of our squad. History has shown bednarek to be a limited and just about competent defender on his day. As a club we should be aiming for better if we want to improve our league position.

I think that’s one of the problems Tbf. He was. And he’s garbage.

We have so little real quality in the team and that which is good is inconsistent at best. Feeling pretty despondent by it all to be honest. From the shite performances and tactics. The manager who has a 50% win record (you know, with the greatest respect excluding Liverpool, Fulham, villa games.) the beyond shit home form and only topped by the feeling of being constantly gaslit by the club that we don’t need a decent striker. Or a decent goalie that is ready to play at this level. A team that has had its best players sold for years without quality replacements.

Wow I wish I was this accurate with my lottery picks. but is it better to have an injured ings than to have nobody at all??

Or plays one game gets injured doesn’t reappear for 3 games. Scores. Starts next game gets injured, misses 5 games. Scores (rinse and repeat) uses up our wage budget and transfer money and doesn’t deliver the goals we need (but yes, does score 1 in every 2.5 games played) I think this is a much more likely scenario. Good player but not the risk we need to take imho. Unless we can get him on loan.

Get In! I saw the line up and was a bit worried. Just as I tuned in (late) we conceded. but fair play to NJ good second half. Good subs. Thought alcarez looked a little lost at times but to be expected. Helped out defensively though. DCC and JWP immense.

I have to say. It’s been a fantastic performance today. Not scrappy. We’ve totally outplayed city today.

Wearing my Fitbit and my resting heart rate watching this is 110 😂😬

Elyenoussi gets a lot of stick on here. But he’s an honest player who tries hard. In a stronger midfield and a slightly better team that accounts for his limitations - I think he’d do pretty well.

Disaster if lavia is out Saturday.

In favour of balance. That half has been good. A world away from forest. Better attitude and tactics. They look like they’re playing for him. I hope they translate this to the league.

Be quality if it was caught live on sky and he was questioned about it post match. “why were you on your phone Nathan?” “well I had to post on the saintsweb forum and, with the greatest respect, stick one to the daftees on there doubting me” it might be enough to make me like him a touch. (Almost)

It’s true so far. Not convinced it will last but yes. It’s true so far. absolute banger from moussa. Hopefully he can rediscover his goalthreat more regularly.

Much better performance so far. Great ball from Lyanco. Good finish Mara.

That he’s out of his depth.

So not a straight answer then just whataboutery waffle about Ralph.

In the interests of fairness - How long would you give him? And what would be your minimum requirements for him to keep the job? eg, 10 games 3 wins and a draw? Genuinely I’m interested.

You’re right that Forest game was the epitome of free flowing, progressive exciting football. It wasn’t 9-0 sure but it was 0 shots on target against an appalling team with an even more appalling away record that was preceded by 2 identically bad performances where the players looked tactically lost, with a manager that was obviously floundering having had the equivalent of a preseason to implement at least a semblance of a style of play and an identity. I was underwhelmed at NJs appointment - I don’t understand the thinking that got him the job as nothing in his history seems to fit with the ethos of the way the club said they wanted to play football. But nothing I’ve seen (or heard) from NJ himself has even remotely made me question this belief. Ultimately it doesn’t matter what any of us think. We can only react to the football as it happens. ”Nathan Jones: your football is shit”

He has changed it. It’s worse. Way worse. The fact that the vast majority of Fans are saying the same thing should be a clue. There’s no point even arguing. Let’s just meet back here after Everton and see how much longer you want to give him after two more losses and awful football.

What exactly is YHGTI? Sorry I keep seeing it a but not quite sure of the meaning. My guess: YOung Hungry Going to Improve?

Rumours on twitter (I know, I know) that Tino has injured ligaments in his other knee. I’d take it with a pinch of salt but just thought I’d share. bad news if true. source @mikejudges1 (no idea about ITK status)

So it’s the fans’ fault then??
