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 🤣

What the actual fuck is going on. Apparently the media were told Fellows was sick and not available then comes off the bench. It's a shit show from top to bottom on and off the pitch. Listened on the radio and you could've written the script once we missed chances to go 2-1 up. Why did we not buy an experienced, gobby player to help the younger players. Why not another striker to cover a fragile Stewart. Glaring holes in the squad. Lose on Saturday and who knows where we might end up. Can't see any improvement whilst SR continue as owners. As for Still - he's just throwing names in the air and hoping it all falls right.

Seem to remember going there for an FA Cup match, late 70s? It was heaving. Lost 2-0 although I could be misremembering. Probably same score this time but let's hope for something out of the ordinary for a change.

This. There's a horrible malaise across all aspects of the club. Still can't put the ball in the net for them but it goes deeper than that. Nobody is making good decisions from the owners to the players. Horrible time. No idea how it's going to change. Lower mid table is the best we're likely to get.

Given the amount of money I've paid them, I bloody hope so.

Fair point but sadly we don't have anyone who can then do the only bit that matters.

Plus some managers are capable of coming in and lifting a team immediately. That just hasn't happened. Something is not right and we will know in the next 2-3 games if Still has any chance of turning this around. I'll accept SR not bringing a decent striker in hasn't helped but this isn't the PL and we have enough to be winning games of football in this league. If he starts getting results then back him with a striker in January and kick on - but I'm probably being wildly optimistic on that becoming a reality.

Plus lots of other clubs who aren't where they want to be by January will also be looking for strikers. I hope they still try to address it, maybe a loan is a better option. I suspect the likelihood is they'll fudge it somehow and wait until the summer given promotion is probably unrealistic by Christmas. Could be worse though. AA could get injured and we would probably struggle to stay up 😁

Unfortunately the poor guy is made of glass, it just happens to some. May be his last season for us. SR really are so incompetent it beggars belief. All I can hope is that they finally get the message and buy a decent striker in January. Actually, make that two. Not easy in January but no excuses now.

That's because your substitutions confused them in to stagnation you muppet. Keep blaming the players, great look.

When asked about his subs at Sheffield Still said it wasn't tactical, just instinct. I really wanted him to do well but it's not looking great is it.

Got to think Still planned for Stewart to be on for 75/80 mins and then take him off with us ahead. When Plan A went tits up he's just got no idea what to do.

Drop Azaz to the bench. Otherwise, let's friggin take em down. 2-1 Saints just cos we usually concede one.

Thought Azaz was still not in the game much and gives the ball away too often. Think he should be on the bench for Saturday but who replaces him or would it mean a change in shape?

It's like Championship Russball but without any ability to score a goal or even create chances. So all the bad bits but none of the good ones. It's just shit. How do we get management appointments wrong time after time.

He told me he was visiting his Mum. Lying bastard.

He's right, they didn't get pre-season with some of the new signings to prepare them but that's why you have to find a winning formula more quickly, and so far that hasn't worked. Maybe it will tomorrow but I'm still not hopeful. Also not sure about a winger on one side. Too obvious to defend against and doesn't pull the defence around enough. Feels like a long season ahead in mid-table.
