The Kraken

Are we talking about the same Roerslev who was on the bench for us yesterday?

I’ll be honest, I didn’t have ‘I wish we were Cray Wanderers’ on the saintsweb bingo card.

The Larin/Stewart arrangement last year worked brilliantly, but because it was out of necessity. LND needed easing back and not playing every game, Larin wasn’t fully fit and also needed rotating. It was a great arrangement but in that I would imagine is difficult to replicate. People talk about Lankshear, he was in demand and would never have agreed to a timeshare arrangement. I genuinely think the club though Mubama could do it. He wasn’t a last minute signing, he was signed mid August. And Dobbin was more an Archer swap imo. So i see it as a failure in who we recruited, rather than a lack of recognition of what we needed. Makes little difference in any case. We’re a decent striker short.

Thats just not true though, I’d it? Wellington and Manning. Stephens Wood and Abbott. Downes JWP Jander Bragg. Fellows kept out by Matsuki. The only places on pitch we don’t have competition are RB, up front and Leo, and our starting striker wasn’t playing today so can’t play the complacency card with Dobbin. we just weren’t at it from the start, Preston did a great pressing job on us and until the second half we weren’t good enough to break it.

Only a matter of time. We haven’t had a single shot.

Our press doesn’t seem to exist. Theirs by contrast is doing a great job of breaking up play and giving us no space,

Second best to absolutely everything.

Dislocated shoulder by the looks.

Doesn’t look good for Schlott

Useless start so far.

A total of 27 posters. I reckon I could get at least ten of them at a guess.

Scott Parker appointed at West Ham. That happened quickly.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cq3dj37m1kddo Decent appointment at this level. Probably just what they need.

Told you 😎

BBD potentially starting up top for Sheff Utd tonight as they have a few injuries. Sky just showed a stat, BBD hasn’t scored in the championship since April 3rd. Tonight is the night…

Quite predictably so really. Burnham hasn’t got a mandate to do anything major, so it was always going to be a bit of a plod. Nice to see a bit of common sense with it, but ultimately it’s very much carry on as before.
