Precisely. Give him Preston at home today like Still had last week - do we think the result would’ve been any different? He’s clearly at this moment in time not a better manager than Still, he’s just been a lot luckier with fixtures and the fact Leo single handedly won him the game the other night. Would be utter madness to hand him the job.

The fact that we deliberately signed a very poor 3rd choice keeper that would in no way threaten Bazunu’s place in the side, says all you need to know about SR still going out of their way to give him a platform in goal for us. They’re still desperate for him to vindicate their decision to sign him , over 3 years on. It’s becoming absolutely pathetic now

Jesus wept. And people wonder why Sport Republic constantly take advantage of our fans and take the piss with their meddling and risky decision making. We are a very easily pleased fanbase , which is some of the reason we’re in this mess to be honest. Acceptance of what they’re doing. They’ve shown they do listen to fans when things do get a bit toxic , they regularly worry when fans show outwardly negative vibes to them. But By accepting mediocrity, they will continue to give us just that.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Eckert was witnessed by several supporters leaving the stadium in his car this evening , windows right down, and a smug look on his face with “it’s gonna be me” by Nsync blaring out at full blast. Make of that what you will.

Big Dame is on

At this stage does anyone actually think Bazunu is anything but a terrible keeper and a complete liability for us?

Let’s be honest we aren’t hanging on for a 2-1 here are we? We will need to score a 3rd otherwise it’ll end 2-2 at best

You say that…..

Agree, besides, saints fans only get truly angry if you’ve got a Welsh accent and act a bit hyper. You can be as shit as you like so long as you look the part, and you’ll largely get politely clapped off.

Find it interesting when reading about Valenciennes, that they’ve now spent more time in the French 3rd tier since SR bought them, than they have in their previous entire existence. I see a pattern emerging.

The other piece of info I’ve heard, is that despite what Spors has said to a fans rep about not intending to give the job to Eckert, he is apparently very keen on doing just that. Whether the other board members are as keen, is another debate

This is exactly what I’ve been told too, GON has told people that he doesn’t expect to get offered the job and has basically ruled it out.

Pretty low on ability too

Yep, he won’t be.

He said “great day on the south coast”. He played in that game and for them it was a memorable day, as it would’ve been for us if roles were reversed, what he said there is hardly a huge insult or disrespectful to saints fans is it? If he’d said “always a great day to smash the scummers” or something similar that mocks us personally, I’d agree a bit more.

The over the top hostility towards him was ridiculous in my view, yeah he was out of his depth but, for a fanbase who quietly sit on their hands and don’t protest against others far more culpable in our decline, who also preceded to politely applaud even worse performances overseen by Selles afterwards, was bizarre. The better manager of those 2, has certainly become patently obvious since then.

This alone ought to be enough to rule him out of the running of getting the job long term 🤣

Again, they’re in the premier league, I wouldn’t really want O’Neill anywhere near us in the premier league. I wonder how many clubs in the bottom 6 of the champship would turn him down, however. The two leagues are worlds apart

Mick Channon?

Because they’re in the premier league and can probably set their sights a bit higher. We are down the bottom of the championship. Not really difficult to work out.

Would be very surprised if we won this, can see a draw at best. Wednesday aren’t as bad as their position suggests. They’ve had some very decent resilient away performances: would not be surprised at a 1-1 draw, and if we’re as bad we were against Preston , we will almost certainly lose again.

I like the added touch of having Downs as captain.

He really doesn’t look 6ft 2, looks 6ft at the tallest, but then maybe the fact he’s physically not very strong makes him also look smaller and shorter than he actually is.

O’Neill isn’t joining us. Trust me

Might rename him Arnold Rimmer
