Where was Downes? Did he have a cold?

Juric should be sacked just for bringing him on alone. It’s clear he’s terrible and costs us a goal every game

He’s appalling. Should never play again.

Shambolic owners. It’s really poor. Little football experience. It’s either pure madness or arrogance.

I think we need a manager prepared to manage in the championship if Martin does go.

Gary Caldwell is doing a great job at Exeter. More possession based like the club want (would fit the profile of players we have) but not so ridiculous dangerous as Martin’s style. Doing well with a club that spends no money at all. Just a thought.

Playing Downes at CB. He was at fault for two goals. That was Martin’s decision. Martin and Downes did not have good days.

Sport Republic (Dragon) has invested a lot. If it wasn’t for him, I dread to think how much worse things could be. He deserves respect. The other people running the show… jury’s out

Wolves last won in the league on the 27th April. They are 2-0 up. How bad must we be…

The only thing to look forward to after a loss is Pissy Martin being wound up by Blackmore’s questions! 🤣

As fans, I think we need to appreciate how much Dragan Solak is investing into Saints. We wouldn’t be able to buy some of these players without his money. Markus undoubtably saved us from oblivion but Dragan has invested lots and we seem to take it for granted.

Sometimes it’s easy to miss things what with all the arguing! 😂

Apologies if already posted but look at the injury record for the new GK. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/justin-bijlow/verletzungen/spieler/315121

Our recruitment has been poor. £10m on Charles and similar on Stewart last year. That’s a lot of money in the championship on two players who have contributed hardly anything. We can’t keep signing injury prone or untested youngsters. Signing young players is fine but not for 10m!

I think it was stated they had *invested* 200m in the club which may not just be player transfers.

Or Stewart

I pray we get an anti Sunak chant going with the Leeds fans. I hate the thought they think he’s one of us.

They just can’t stick to a structure or plan at all can they! It’s so frustrating. The most successful clubs have a clear structure and plan. I would’ve assumed they had someone lined up but instead they can’t make up their mind about the way forward. They really don’t cover themselves in glory. Very amature.

I bet we were brave.

I bet we were brave. I’m sure Martin will let us know we were brave.

But were we brave?

I don’t understand why people are obsessed with being next to the away fans. Most grounds seem to have the away fans at the opposite end of the stadium to the most vocal home support. This is normal. What we currently have is odd.

Martin does make some baffling decisions. Mara on the wing? He looked dreadful. He just strolled around. At one point he tried to counter attack by walking. He offered Bree no real protection. Bizarre. How surprising we won with no inverted full backs (trying to turn Stephens into Stones). Who’d have thought a proper back line with proper full backs would work?

He is fantastic. His tactical explanations of the issues caused by the Stephens obsession were spot on.

Some statistics. I'm sure the club is all over this with their focus on data. Goals Prevented 20 John Ruddy -5.9 21 Asmir Begovic -6.9 22 Ryan Allsopp -8.0 23 Gavin Bazunu -10.7 save percentage 20 Seny Dieng 64.2% 21 Matija Sarkic 63.6% 22 Lee Nicholls 63% 23 Gavin Bazunu 61.9% Can anyone spot a pattern?
