Give it to Ron

No your are right the Leicester tactics I put above were obviously spot on…leaving the whole left side unmanned great idea interesting you just pick on inverted full backs in my post and omitted rest must be right then

After a 5 nil drubbing?

Where does it say that b/s about keep the ball in my post you obviously can’t read anything that doesn’t suit your belief in him or agenda. Have another look at inverted full backs after a 5-0 drubbing! Have a look at corners, have a look at pressing leaving whole midfield with no-one in . What other club does that?

How many times in games do Leicester leave the slowest midfielder as only one back then have a cavalry charge from opposing team at goal? Or a goalkeeper chip the ball over the whole attack and midfield with no-one near defenders only opposite attackers? These tactics are nuts if you don’t have the Man City squad to play this kamikaze stuff. Defence is key yet we have conceded far too many stupid mistakes by playing this way. I like him and speaks well but all this PR b/s doesn’t wash with me football is a simple game trying to convince yourself and others you have something no one else has thought of is Grimm or Aesop fairytale stuff.

You can have all the forums you want and explanations on tactics to rival The Emporers New Clothes. If you have just been bumped 5-0 you do not play inverted full backs in centre of midfield gifting goals after 26 seconds. Leicester ran riot down the left with KWP in centre midfield. Thats not tactics it’s lunacy yet our fan base buys in to these platitudes. It’s not about lumping it forward - who to? It’s about not playing your customers and thinking all are dumb and can’t see through this bollox. Give us time……where has this worked before? Why do we think we can do something no other club has thought of before? Play best players in best positions to the best tactics not some fairy tippy tap bollox with kids, youth and prem cast offs like Fraser and Holgate.

You can tell they are having a good season by number running in Great South wearing Skate shirts normally very few other years. I am sure they appreciated getting a red shirt and a red&white striped medal ribbon 😉 after.

Come up to Eastleigh Walking Football we have a few in 80’s still playing in own session. Been playing this for about 8 years now and it’s great for mental health, camaraderie, fitness etc We also need refs:-)

The whole season is depending on whether the Loch Ness Drogba can stay fit and put the chances away Adams can’t. Leeds bought a striker that’s hit the ground running we got one who hasn’t played since January!

Blocking Sam AA who can at least offer something other than defensive cover and can go forward . Disappointing so far

West Brom look decent Swift a handful Brum not so Drameh looks a lucky escape poor so far ps maybe not

OMG that was a shocking decision for Brum he slipped and fell over

Larios got injured in training out for months

You don’t think Leeds are a decent side?

We have seen 2 wins in 21 what really are you expecting? Do you honestly think any other clubs fans would be any better?

Don’t believe anyone wants him to fail, I was very unsure about him but could see the progress at start and we finally had a game plan but that’s gone tits up. The problem now is he doesn’t seem to do the basics of football and jeopardises the reasons for those to play this mad system. Just watch KWP first 15 against Leicester it was madness leaving that space and others being drawn over. You can stick your inverted full backs up your arse Russell 4-4 fking 2 or at least 4-2-3-1 the front 4 have enough ability in this league. Change or we pay the consequences it’s simple we cannot continue to ship goals under this system. Tinker it and we will be fine. Who else would leave a massive gap between forwards and defenders with no midfield anywhere.

I know not Saints related but Lavia tore ankle ligaments at training yesterday out for a while.

Exactly my thoughts, I complained about the spine we got in THB, Charles, Downes and Stewart the only weak links now are Bazanu and McCarthy

Tella replacement fell through and went to Hull from Villa 🚨 Southampton had late interest in Aston Villa winger Jaden Philogene (21) today, but needed more time to complete a deal - he now heads to Hull City for £5m #saintsfc @J_Tanswell

Onauchu and ABK are my hopes

Or Che if rumours of him angry are true

Plus Charles

🚨 Armel Bella-Kotchap is set to join PSV Eindhoven on loan #saintsfc @DuncanCastles

You are forgetting injuries, suspension and loss of form - I’m not expecting much of Che until after international break when his head gets straight from agent noise. What If Che reverts to not hitting a cows arse like last year would you be happy with Mara who has done nothing really.

Not sure why signing Stewart?

Everton were but don’t think they can get to the 30m Leeds want
