Yup, seen all of that when my lad was playing age group. I love the description of the kid running towards the corner flag 🤣 I coached for just one year and gave up because parents would complain if their kid got 2 less minutes on the pitch than everyone else. Wasn't worth the hassle. My son was ok but not stand out at football - ended up a very good cricket player because physical size has little to do with ability in that particular sport.

100%. The kids that were big for their age used to get all the plaudits and the scouts looking at them because they could barge their way through and score easy goals. Yet there would be a couple of smaller players on the pitch with amazing technique and vision but we're largely ignored. Never understood it.

I wondered why THB was involved then realised my dyslexia has kicked in again.

David Speedie. Cunt.

They will only do it once 🤣

Doesn't seem to matter what stage of the game we concede, we lose all self belief. Getting Romeu on the pitch can't come soon enough .

Remember the days when you always left a striker on their final defender. It would have forced them to leave one more defender back (Despite the forward being Downs). As it was, their one defender just collected with no pressure and simply recycled.

Fair play, the defence threw their bodies on the line. Baz a contradiction as always. One good save and then two howlers, one that didn't cost us. We just don't have a decent GK. Can we recall Ramsdale in January?

In the space of a minute, AA fails to hold the ball up and Manning and Robinson miss simple passes. Still wasn't great as a manager but christ we can't do the very basics.

Fucking quality, I just pissed myself laughing - as opposed to our squad who will be pissing themselves in fear.

Yes, yes and fucking yes. He'll tear a few of them a new one. Expect pants being shat all over the training ground.

Just what I was thinking. So another left field appointment incoming. It's like a nightmare we can't wake up from. Nurse!

It's a good point but none of them are 'gobby' on the pitch. None of them shout, point, encourage, get on at someone when needed. Of course being gobby with no ability isn't great either but surely we can strike a balance. Nothing feels right about the club at the moment. Nothing.

Striker yes, plus a couple of experienced players who know this league and can support the younger players on the pitch.

He's so obviously a fraud and SR need to stop being clever pricks and appoint an experienced manager, with funds in January. But who knows with them in charge.

If that's his presser, I think we'll be well beaten on Saturday. Fight back...with what? If we were as good in games as we are in training...FFS.

It's a valid point but ultimately what it indicates is that the club is rotten from top to bottom. I'll assume that surely the new players aren't the problem (But who knows).

I'd like to think this and that Saturday is just a dead rubber for him - but this is SR and I'm not sure they're that intelligent/organised/give a shit.

Jesus, the club is an absolute cluster fuck basket case. They had the chance to sort it this out in the summer. I have zero confidence SR can improve things. They couldn't sort out a load of odd socks.

Seriously starting to think the board are so shit that they don't know what good and bad decisions look like on the pitch. But four wins in what feels like a hundred years...if they can't work out that's a frightening stat, then they need to fuck off now.

Seriously? At professional level? That's just as pathetic. Woeful situation. It happens a lot in this league, he knew that and he hasn't prepared the squad accordingly. And he fucked up the subs too so there is zero reason to keep him.

He's just written his P45. Gone.

Surely he can't survive this amount of incompetence. Possibly up there with the worst substitution in football - like ever. So negative.

If things keep going the way they are we will all be able to count alot more than 4,000 holes in the stands at St. Mary's.

I'm predicting we will be 1-0 down with 10min to go and Still will send Stewart on with one good leg and a crutch, given that's a better option than DD with two good legs. We still lose. Of fuck it, who cares - certainly not the players, manager or owners as far as I can tell 🤣
