Toadhall Saint

We've started well ............ get in !!!!!!!

1200 Saints in attendance and being noisy! C'mon!!

Yep.

Prat

Nothing unusual in football - a lot of managers give the more promising youngsters an early experience of match days. I think Sir Alex did the same with Beckham all those years ago.

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

Yep GS they did. Now tell me what league are they in?

Mid table

Probably the first time I've agreed with you 19C.

Start him!

Another update.

Good for you TDD - as to the result - a draw.

Mind you - you only have to read the book Scally - sounds like it was the same guy who wrote the book.

There were quite a few empty seats visible on MOTD in the Fratton end by the corner flag. Great fans - Pah we **** 'em!

Tea on screen moment!

That'll be about right.

IMHO - Just to put the brakes on our whistle stop tour down the divisions is a bloody sign of progress! The goals from open play will come just as the not letting in of XYZ amount of goals has come.

His whole demeanour just tells you how good he is. People like ML "employ" these people because they know if they want to remain successful they must surround themselves with the best. Not too much different than successful football managers - just a different product. IMHO the club we support is set for good things if for no other reason than the fact that NC & ML do not fail.

There is sanity in this world.

Sorry but I've read some malicious **** on here but that takes the biscuit. From a manager that says he feels that some of the younger players are complacent to losing the dressing room and the football has deteriorated oh and he's under pressure from above! All in one post! Jesus H Christ.

They are in denial - a common psychiatric prognosis suffered by that lot down the road - along with an inferiority complex.

It'd be like your computer getting an STD.

Its called being professional!

My point is - what comments & to which players? Now if there were comments directed at an individual or two that go beyond what has been made public then I would likely agree with you but beyond complacency & attitude there's not a lot.

Not sure what you mean - I haven't seen his actual comments only that some players were complacent and he let them know that wasn't acceptable. Its about bloody time we had a manager that lets the players know what he expects. If said players are worth anything then they will respond in the right way if not then fook off!
