Doubt there is any substance in this. It smacks of lazy clickbait journalism.

Don't always like him as a pundit but Gary Neville talking a lot of sense in criticising lower half teams who continually try to play out from the back. He doesn't get it nor do many of us.

Wolves looking like a slightly better version of us with many of our failings evident in their play.

Assuming Wolves lose to Liverpool and Ipswich lose to Villa a win on Monday would see us leap into 15th! We can dream 🙂

Forest fans slagging off JWP already.

You just demonstrated the limited football knowledge and the mindset of those in charge of appointing a manager for Southampton FC.

Which is nonsense really because, had Aribo cleared the ball, nobody knows how the rest of the game would have panned out. You can't isolate one incident and say, had it not happened, we would have got a point.

Good chance to get into the Quarter Finals.

Thought we might have scored more than 2 goals and looked more like we could win a few games than what I've seen so far.

Out of interest who did you think we were playing?

I wonder how much of that possession is in our own half - most of it I would imagine. Propaganda football.

Which means there must be 12 managers with a win plus there are 17 managers with more points - make of that what you will.

We won't attract many managers with proven Premier League experience other than perhaps David Moyes. So this leaves us trying to unearth a Championship manager with potential or a foreign manager.

I think we could try KWP as the more attack minded player in a double pivot with Downes as the defensive partner.

We aren't likely to attract a big name with a track record in the Premier League so, for us, it has to be about judging someone's potential and looking at their values and approach to the game. Not easy to get it right of course as we know.

Absolutely. Drury drives me mad with his clearly OTT scripted monologues before games start and the way he screams a players name as they take a shot.

Plays 4-2-3-1, strict on fitness and diet and has made West Brom tough to score against - he'll do for me.

Peter Drury is such a drama queen - he's trying to claim that pile of shit will live long in the memory of anyone who watched it. Do me a fucking favour it was a complete bore in the second half.

How do you know Dibling has never played centre forward? Presumably you closely follow every B Team match? Nah, thought not - you are just making things up. Just because RM is a professional manager doesn't mean his tactics etc must be followed like a sycophant - if he was always right I think we'd have more than one point on the board from the teams we've played so far. You are quite entitled to be satisfied with this and equally, others like me are entitled to express dissatisfaction. ☺️

It's hard to argue with this to be fair.

I'm convinced Dibling is the answer and should be playing centre forward not out wide.

Yeah, I've noticed he can be inclined to do that. However, in this instance I'm prepared to give him the benefit the doubt simply because it seems hard to believe that any team would be coached to set up like that to defend a last minute corner. Maybe he needs to delegate a player to take responsibility so you'd have someone on field who'd organise things better. It did look a shambles and smacked of rank lack of professionalism.

Does this class as 'bed-wetting' or are some able to criticise while others aren't? Just saying.
