Zorba

Today was a missed opportunity. This is how I see it.. Baz. Flaps about too much but has good distribution. Good back-up option. We need a new keeper. KWP. All good. THB. All good. Jack. Good back-up. Bree. Good back-up RB. We need a decent LB. WS. Not good enough. What is he? I don’t see an attacking midfielder. Aribo is no better. We need a new threat from this position. FD. All good Stu. Looks like he’s slowing down to me and runs at defenders less. We have no one else. AA. All good in this league. Stick him in the middle. Che. Not up to it. Sub. Sulemana. Please start scoring soon. Move over to the right. You can fight it out with DB, the one who scores most goals wins. Wee man. Should start every game. We look much more dangerous with him. Always determined. RM. If we’re going to play Russball, we need to score more goals. Sort it out!

WAAAAANNNNNKKKKK!!!

I don’t speak Welsh.. but unfortunately..

Sunderland putting some effort in now. We look awful.

Sunderland letting us play out. We are duly obliging and look good with very little resistance. All playing well enough. Nice to see Baz launching some and mixing it up a bit. So far, so good.

He should have had Baz’s kit on. Guaranteed not to catch fire ..or anything else for that matter

More Der Kharzi than Der Kaiser

Happy with that. We were lucky. Wasn’t a sending off. We were poor defensively but Downes only just back and KWP out, was to be expected. Too much Russball at the back but RM is obviously a sadistic tw*t that likes to see us all suffer before delivering the points. It may be suicidal at times but it makes for edge of your seat viewing. We’ll get demolished in the Prem playing this style of football no matter who we sign but I’d give Russ a year at it tho if we get promoted. Shame about Ipswich but generally a good day! UTFS!!

Sucker punched. We have been the better side. We will win 4-2

“Leicester spend £12,000 per match on 30,000 clappers, leaving them on each home seat at the King Power” ..And they have a fat tattooed drummer boy. That could be us!

Over half their team were playing for the U21s two weeks ago. Just goes to show the gulf between the two sides. I enjoyed the first 40 minutes. Charles, Mara and then Smallbone were all crap though. Back to trying to find some form in the league. Hope KWP isn’t too bad.

4th 😡 …3rd 😁 ….4th 🤬

Stephens, Brooks, Fraser ..and Romeu on please!

3-0 i’d settle for the draw now.

Well, we are what we are. You are the font of football knowledge, and I am a cock. That’s life!

Didn’t we all?! WTFILN!! Well done Russ, me ol’ mate!

I have one somewhere, signed by MLT. A mate knew Mark Draper and got him to sort it out as a birthday present. When I opened it, I asked how he managed to sort out a match worn shirt? He said “It’s not match worn, MLT sent it back via Yodel. The bone idle driver couldn’t be arsed to open the gate and just threw it over the fence. Draper’s dog got hold of it and rag-dolled it round the garden!!” 😡

I knew he’d come good. Never in doubt! 😂

The boy has potential.. we just have to be patient! Á la Annie.. To Mara, to Mara Give the ball, to Mara, He’s not gonna score today! To Mara, to Mara He’ll score one, to Mara, It’s only a game away!!

Losing Edozie early was a blow. No cutting edge. At least Ipswich drew.

Agreed. We quite often pick yellows for daft things. Smallbone seems to be a regular offender, and Shea Charles is another that sometimes makes what seem to be poor decisions to pick up a yellow. It hasn’t cost us yet and I wonder if it’s all part of playing right on the edge as we have good cover in those areas. Bednarek on the other hand has been a breath of fresh air this season and his individual errors and rash challenges seem to be few and far between.

I find Alcaraz frustrating, he often gives the ball away. Good job I’m not managing this team as I was calling for his head just before that wonder strike. Same with Adams, useless until he got his goal. We dominated from start to finish as they came to sit behind the ball and take a counter if it came their way. It nearly worked for them too. We’ll need a bit of luck and we got it yesterday in the shape of some poor officials. This is a fantastic run. Well done Saints!

Maybe we’re finally getting the hang of this Russball thing at long last. We’ve had a couple of games now where we’ve been energetic, incisive and the players seem to have a plan. If we can keep putting these types of performances in, what’s not to love?! #We march on ..with cautious optimism!

Happy with that! Great subs by RM.

Being replaced by Nuno Espírito Santo. Would have stuck with Cooper.
