Give it to Ron

Brooks will start has been absolute dogshit last 3 games yet gets selected i would give SAA a go.

McCarthy will drop his KWP and Manning won’t get close enough to waiter to order anything

No shit Sherlock Martin: “We started the second half so well, but then we concede a rubbish goal. I made subs to try and be even more aggressive, I thought the game was there for us. So I need to look at myself for that.” #saintsfc How is bringing on straight replacement aggression? Change shape or tactics is sticking 4-3-3 isn’t.

That’s my issue with him he just cannot or will not change tactics to the detriment of the team we just change personnel into that same position. When it works it’s great but when teams work it out with better management we get turned over.

But why was Manning brought onto the pitch it was 1 nil we weren’t getting battered then. Bree was for me our best player at that time

How can a manager or his coaching staff over the course of a season not see one of our biggest problems? We give wingers so much space, time, never stop crosses or close down opponents. I can think of loads of goals this season yet still we do nothing to stop this. Look at the second and third goals last night classic examples , Boro at home Cardiff first goal Birmingham 3rd etc etc

Was at game but why was Bree taken off injured? He was playing really well then KWP and Manning gave them all the time wide to hurt us. If that was tactical it’s nuts as it’s Leicester strength and swapping messed that up . We never tested keeper all night - Shea did ok, Smallbone good and Che battled well. THB had right go at Manning after 3rd goal allowed winger 15 yards to do what he wanted shambolic

A 10% rise works out at £23.91 a game in Championship for me Kingsland 35

Agreed we are a good catch and Cooper would be my choice if it happens but can’t see it.

Look at Brentford, Fulham, Palace Brighton, Bournemouth good example of that. No bigger clubs than us and we should be in their position had we not messed up recruitment would be.

Was Nathan Jones a credible manager? Managers will come here we are a good place to attract. Whether our owners can do that is another matter. I agree we won’t sack him and after 15m spent on sacking him and Ralph we can’t but something has to change next season we simply cannot allow teams to walk through our midfield again.

He did say he only started in 80’s. I used to queue up from 13:00 to get in the Milton and get on the wall in 60’s/70’s then moved back a bit. Milton was always loud and supported by dockers under East. When the benches came in that dampened it down. I am not against having the Northam standing but just don’t think it will work as I said we had whole end Saturday look how that turned out. The money better spent on recruiting right players on pitch,

Exactly and what was point in shoe horning Stephens in for those games when last 2 not even played a minute an admission that was wrong? We thought Stephens would be DCM yet again we went with someone proven already can’t play role Smallbone . When Aribo went off we had zero strength in midfield it was a cake walk through it. Cant blame manager for first half misses but can for subs and tactics second half again!

Agreed piss off and move loads for what 3k? our focus should be on pitch get that right the noise and support will be there. Not a crocked forward, not a wide man blocking youth like SAA, not wasted on a DCM the manager treats like shit. The most important thing is the team and we again got recruiting wrong its why we were relegated

If you want evidence it won’t work look at yesterday we had whole end good vocal support I thought yet we absolutely bottled it again. money better spent on the pitch

So a bit of realism now Eastleigh charge 20-22 pre match my ST will be £24 if it goes up 10% block 35 in Championship

Birmingham had it but didn’t seem especially loud to me and they scored 3 times! I get what they are doing but to charge us old gits that can’t stand all game extra 10-15% to pay for it rankles a bit but I’ll still pay it no doubt

…..and at away game’s Millwall apart. I have walked miles this season from coaches and trains nowhere near ground on match day Watford,QPR , Millwall was a frog march miles at least our ground is accessible not like Brighton!

Hope not as bad as last time I went to Ninian Park where we lost 1-0 and never had a shot but we had Vincent Pericard up top! New ground for me this one hoping for another Welsh result like Swansea away

Rumour of pre-season games at SMS next season our 3 clubs

Nope get that totally think we were all bit surprised given Lumley was cup goalkeeper and on bench season. TBH he was so well protected it wasn’t an issue I did think we looked forward more and like way Alex threw it out quickly keeping up our tempo

Experience allegedly

Anyone know if Downes sub was injury or just precautionary?

Let’s be honest Alex Brooker could have played in goal our defence was that good tonight. ok we didn’t score second half but I loved our desire and work rate to win it back and stop any attack. Fair play to Shea didn’t put a foot wrong, Manning was good but had freedom of left side no-one to mark but did well. Balance of team looked very good creative moved it quick 3 great goals could have been 5

We could put on Sully or Edozie, we could put another in midfield or another centre half and shore it up we don’t have to play 4-3-3
