Totton Saint

Where do we go after this horror show.

Don't worry Downes will come on and liven things up.

His crosses are too floaty with no pace.

That we are not the only club using a back five, whether it be home or away.

Man U employed a back 5 last night.

It is not worth posting on here anymore IMO albeit the match did have an end to end feel about it for neutrals.

I would not mind loosing so much if they played entertaing football. That's why we go to matches or watch remotely - to be entertained. So who is to blame for the timid fare served up. A real enigma that's for sure.

With the benefit of hindsight we might as well as kept BBD rather than spend good money on Fellows

ask stills

I would rather have Downes than Fellows.

thanks

Where has Smallbone gone please?

Have you seen our league position!? Could be better come satourdy

Nice chance for me to get able to put faces to some of the new names by me able to watch on Sky. I know Wood though - he seems good.

makes one wonder why stills has left it so long to bring in these changes.

Who created the chance?

Keep the progress posts up please. Got no streams at home

Archer was asked two games to play an impossible role and got dropped next match for his pains. He should play tonight IMO

Have we learned nothing from the Pompey game?

Yes, I was almost certain it was a league up game but did not like to be too cocksure. Thanks for giving me the date of the game. I was living in Winchester at the time but at Totton in the late fifties.

No mention of John McGrath yet, The man mountain of a player. Gabrial and Fisher were his partners in crime. I was behind the goal when Fisher sustained a broken leg courtesy of the onrushing Arsenal goalie. The best Saints game I remember was when Ball played a blinder in the mud at the Dell (in a cup round?) as did Rodrigues. I think it was v Man City. Shannon was playing for `Man City and missed a sitter or two.

Nice to read all the reminiscings above that my thread has prompted.

Why can't the players be told to go out and play spontaneously, like we did for our school teams. Tactics are ruining the game for the paying public. Did Le Tissier need coaching or tactics. No, he played off the cuff.

I remember Terry Paine and John Sydenham. What a character O'brian was!!

Hello, As it turned out the environment was far from intimidating. It was a real anticlimax and an utter damp squib. Especialy after Sky's over the top before the game build up of the supposed rivalry between the two clubs
