Golac's Cunning Stunts

Just after that a Brom player skied a chance over the bar and the chant then was "go back to sleep". Can't beat good British football banter

I'll be more convinced if he addresses our inability to keep a clean sheet. Is it one this season so far? Clean sheets / conceding a lot fewer goals will be the key to this season and is clearly the area that needs improvement

If he is half as good as Funners was then we’ve got a good one

We scored 2 at Preston, one was a piece of skill from KWP, one was Bazza assisted. Our attackers in that game were dismal, so I'm not "relaxed" about it at all?

Narcissistic, but without the real world results or talent to back it up. Just like Mad Nate. Jose was the same as you say, but had the talent to back it up.

being as we never win 5-4 or draw 0-0, you are going to be disappointed

Not going to insult you by asking if you have actually watched the games this season. I presume you have. On the whole, our football is dull and predictable. We are 5th because we are in a league which is a whole world removed from PL quality. Doesn't take much to do well. Look at Leics / Ipswich. We have scraped numerous results in the last minute. We have not dominated many teams (oddly enough, we did dominate Leeds). Worst of all, we have kept only 1 clean sheet all season, which is just not acceptable. I followed the Ipswich game in midweek. They went 1-0 up and you just knew that was game over. We literally need to score 3 just to start believing we can get a draw. There's a short window where we have a massive financial advantage over other teams in the league. We are wasting it.

Yeah but only West Ham and Saints fans would boo after drawing at home to Rotherham 🙂

And we won't be with him managing us. But to go along with your argument... let's say he somehow managed to get us promoted. Do you really think he'd be sacked then? Of course he wouldn't. And then we would literally be getting raped every game in the Prem. Forget 9-0...we're talking more embarrassing than that.

he isn't. and in any case, he most certainly is not the man to manage a team in the PL. They would be ripped apart

i'd say its both. The system doesn't favour a central striker and the people we've tried there have been shit

russell martin is not going to get us promoted is he?

Surely you know its a Rangers song? The official version is from a hymn I think, but the one sung on the terraces isn't too complimentary to the Pope

No way. Lallana was a key player, consistently good, a mainstay of the side, 13 goals from midfield that year too

To be fair, this lot could play together for 4 years and still wouldn’t be half as good as that team

instrumental in their goal. Has played well

why?

as an aside, i'm watching copenhagen v bayern. elyounoussi playing, who i just discovered scored in the last champs league game for them

I get you. However, it was refreshing to see a supposedly limited set of players doing simple things well and the result being something greater than the sum of the parts if you get what I mean.

It’s a shame because I think on the whole winning teams keep winning and losing teams keep losing. After the first 4 games I really thought if we got a couple more wins that would be it - we’d be winning more than not. That’s where Leicester are now. They will go up automatically. can understand fans being fucked off when we are losing so so easily. The window where we have financial advantage in this league is short. We really need not to waste it. As an aside, I was in Bristol this weekend and went to rovers v Wigan. It was very enjoyable. Lively crowd, Rovers have a solid team and it was enjoyable football to watch. I’d be happy with that as a saints fan - players who want to do their best, enjoyable football, and a laugh on a Saturday afternoon. pps Wigan we’re awful. I had a bit of empathy for their travelling fans

Has anybody told Leicester they are supposed to be in a transitional year?

I mean, it's like saying we were unlucky because the oppo went down to 10 men. Who would say such a thing 🙂

anyone starting to think we need another league one on minus 10 before we get the reset the club obviously needs?

But surely a good manager is absolutely crucial to turning round a losing mentality and installing a winning one? So, for example, a manager comes in, sees that morale is low, and initially sets up the team to be hard to beat? stop leaking goals, do the fundamentals correctly etc? Not implement some apparently genius system that only the liikes of Man City can actuallyimplement?

I think the managers and systems we have employed have played a large part in our demise. However, would be more than interested in your thoughts on this... what do you think the problems are?
