U18 Premier League National Final: Saints 1-2 Man City

It was level before kick off π

The Price of Football podcast said that Everton had claimed massively more losses than other clubs due to covid. That can be interpreted as a way of trying to dodge some of the profit and sustainability rules.

Fraser Forster - Official: Signs for Spurs
Holmes_and_Watson replied to stevy777_x's topic in The Saints
I'd feel happy enough. We've plenty of more under performing areas of late to upgrade. So, wages/ contract clauses for Forster aside, we could focus on those areas. Just because he's under contract, McCarthy could still move on. We might even get some pennies from the deal. -

Norwich was the one where I thought Ralph's tactics had now been sussed by everyone. So, if I'm noticing it, then it was happening a bit before that.

You'd think so, but RalphBall looks to optimise some strange things. See Salisu long throws.

U18 Premier League National Final: Saints 1-2 Man City
Holmes_and_Watson replied to Matthew Le God's topic in The Saints
Just what I thought when they got their second. A watching Ralph torn between losing a goal and pride at his playbook really working across all levels of the club. π I'd not heard of it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Youth_League. Seems to be weighted in favour of clubs already in the Champions League. No doubt to cement their place as giant talent Hoovers forever. Since City are already one of those, it would be nice to see it extend to the other finalist. I also noted UEFA pinched the idea from someone else. Football governing bodies are the bastions of integrity π I shall resist the use of diamond to describe his performance, as I'm sure he's already sick of it. He did really well. Not quite as consistent across such a big game, but I though Finnigan also did well. Looking forward to MLG upping the PA for them on FM. π -

Wasn't that long ago we were in the third tier. πBesides, in order to make it convincing, you'd have to wear a Skates shirt. Sure, they'd get into trouble. But you'd never feel clean again, and spend your life in therapy, constantly trying to rub off the shame. π -
I read here that Ralph criticised AAs lack of height at defending corners as an issue, so it could well be a mini striker exodus. π From what I've seen he can have an instinctive shot, and wasn't shy of taking it. But I've not seen enough to tell if he can create chances for himself at this level. If not, we'd have to create the opportunities he's more capable of scoring. Then it becomes a tactical issue, that you'd have hoped our recruitment team would have noted before we signed him. I'll need to look at how he scored for his last club. Perhaps it's not the best fit. But perhaps, we can do better as a team to get the most from him. Which would apply to all our strikers.

Do Saints have a mentality problem?

Orient went on to lose the match 1β0, and after winning only one of the next 15 games, both Sitton and Turner were sacked two months later. - from wiki. -

Holmes_and_Watson replied to Matthew Le God's topic in The Saints
I did think City were going to get a few in the first half. But we did well, had a decent sized part of the game when we had chances to level it, and some chances out with that too. Lots of pluses. -

Saints recruit Ralph's new assistant... -
Too '80s. What about drone swarms with rapid fire tranqs on them? π

Or that they will cash in on Salisu, before his contract runs down any further, and that Bednerak will need a partner. Or if Lyanco is the new Salisu, and is to be that partner for Bednerak, then a new up and coming signing. I hope it's your post version though. If Bednerak was not commited to playing for us, over an upcoming national fixture, he should really be on his way.

My favourite episode is the one where he dresses in a Hummel kit, and goes on to save a team from certain relegation. π

Hope he finds a franchise willing to pay his wages as a designated player.
