Then we need a manager that will stand up to him and kick him in his wacky bollocks.

It's possible. Anything is possible with SR. Maybe not appointing Sammy Saint but other than that. I just want a manager who seems to know you need players that score more goals than they let in. And then show them how to it.

Every time I see an in-play photo of JB and THB they are rarely marking anyone and often just watching the scorer place it in the net. We're pretty poor all over the pitch but defensively were just embarrassingly bad.

When was the earliest confirmed relegation in the PL? Can we win that one too?

I'm not sure if it's the inevitability or the inevitability. Utter cluster fuck of a season.

It was the same against Brentford. Yes they've got some decent players but we made them look like world beaters. I've stopped guessing what might happen in the summer but I'm not exactly brimming with optimism.

Yup, in the Championship next season 😀

Wash, rinse, repeat. They create 10 gilt edged chances but only take 5. We do almost nothing of consequence except for a late strike when there's only three minutes left and Palace are half asleep. Long way of saying 5-1 to them.

I reckon he knows he's out the door at the end of the season. That decision about Stephens had all the hallmarks of "I'm just going to take the piss now whilst earning very nicely doing it thanks"

Only way we're getting points is if the opposition go down to nine and the ref gives us two penalties at 0-0 in the 90th and 91st minutes. That way, we'd probably keep it down to 2-2.

Exactly this. And if we'd done this earlier we could well have had a few more results under our belt.

It seems we've been poor at scoring from corners for a few years. Quality of delivery? Surely it's not that hard to work out a few moves to improve us.

Liverpool 3-0 up at half time. They take their foot off the gas second half and still win 7-0.

I reckon he's just taking the piss now.

I'm performing at a comedy show tonight - oh the irony. 5-0 to Chelsea thanks to Ramsdale pulling off several top class saves and preventing anything worse.

Maybe, but the players have clearly given up, they're just taking a wage. I can't see anything changing with a new manager now.

Never going to be much of a challenge for the opposition when they're playing against 11 deckchairs.

Score prediction of: Saints something, Brighton a lot more. Holy crap.

Can't see us holding on to him sadly.

Not only are most of the players not good enough but they're on the beach by February. Look at the strength, pace and power in the established PL teams. We're so far off that. Will SR learn? I really don't know but history suggests not.

I've just reached for the big incontinence pants...gonna need them with this line up.

TBH Gloucester, I'd make him stand in the centre circle with a microphone in his hand and apologise to all Saints fans.

Even if we had sacked RM after the away fixture I'm not sure we would have survived, the players are so poor. Juric seems unsure how to get the best out of what little talent there is but I'm happier he's in charge. Never in a million years did I think I'd be watching a Saints team play half a season knowing we are down. Terrible indictment of SR and their mis management of our special club .

Good post and agree with pretty much all of it. Especially the lack of power and psychality, feels like that's been lacking for a few years. It was pretty evident in the opening game against Forest that the established teams were a step above us in every department. Next season has to be last chance saloon for SR, whose grades across the last three seasons are E, B minus (Should have been A) and a big fat F.
