Maybe we havent got enough cash for a starting full back and a striker in January. Maybe they have a target left back that wont be available until the summer. Maybe it will be significantly cheaper for a LB in the summer. There are plenty of reasons why a cheap short term cover option is better and i guess the point is none of us know the thinking of the club behind the scenes.

He is a RB who is cover for the RB. Cover is always going to be a downgrade on the first choice unless you are looking to replace the first choice RB. If you were looking to replace KWP it would cost us a bucket load of cash that is clearly needed elsewhere. If he can cover at LB then the same principles apply. Maybe he will be played at RWB if we play a back 3 and then the additional height isn’t specifically required as you will then have 3Cbs. either way it’s a really cheap option to provide “cover”. hate on the manager all you like but it least keep it as sensible criticism.

This guy is clearly cheap cover for the right back position in the short term. Not sure we need to be committing to a large chunk of cash plus wages until KWP goes. Better to replace him with in the summer when prices are more realistic and the transaction can be spread into a new financial year. Not really rocket science to be honest. he is a downgrade on who? We have no cover at RB. 🙄

Another one to add to the "hasnt got a fucking clue" list. Diallo has improved the more consistent game time he has played. Goes to show some of the players that have largely been discarded as not good enough have improved with regular minutes. Alongside Alcaraz he was responsible for the defensive side of the game, breaking up play, winning the loose ball, interceptions, tackles in the middle and did it well. Towards the end he seemed to get tired and sprayed a few loose balls but overall i thought he played well. Lets hope he maintains that form over the rest of the season.

Do you think we would stay up with the same set of players we have now and a different manager and who is that man?

Half the idiots on here would have signed Ings for 12m and paid him £150k. Well we dodged bullet there.

Nothing to do with the overall standard of players and everything on how that strategy is communicated to the players then? I dont what strategy he employs we have a pile of shyte up front this season and that wont change while you have a hole in your arse. Blame whoever and whatever you like but the facts are Adams, Armstrong, Moi, Mara, Aribo, Djneppo (plus others i haven't mentioned) are not up to standard and the best we can hope for is to scrape enough gritty wins to stay up but in reality we wont. Maybe Orsic and Alcaraz will help but equally maybe they wont. The only thig that can significantly improve our chances of staying up are signing better players. A better manager may help but who are we talking here and would they really be good enough to get Adams and armstrong scoring regularly?

What a crock of bollox.

100%. Fans complain about poor quality signings, lack of a striker, poor GK etc in one breath and then blame the manager in the next. Which is it? Che Adams needs to take much of the blame for his terrible finishing. buy the manager a fucking centre forward and a grown up keeper And then let’s see where we are.

Totally agree, Che Adams is the reason saints are going down. Fucking terrible finisher, how many really good chances has he now missed this season?

Exactly this championship attack at best. Adams is fucking garbage. Yes again scuffs a great chance. Im convinced he closes his eyes when he makes contact with the ball or maybe he needs to. a striker is an absolute must if we are to have a chance

Sincerely, congratulations on your fine naval career. Not sure what your successful CV and fine career has to do with comments about being a wet fanny for thinking off dumping a ST after so many years just because you don't agree with the transfer policy. lets be honest how many of out transfer policies have you ever agreed with? Now it seems you have shared the real reason ( the long trek from the new forest) and if that's the case then fair enough but blaming it on your perceived poor transfer policy in my opinion makes you a wet fanny. Not sure the term "wet fanny" is really classed as abuse to be fair (well not in my opinion again). Anyway enjoy your well earned retirement whatever you decide to do with it now you are giving up watching football.

The wet fannies are out in force today I see.

I have to be honest, i know very little about this player (jackson) other than the stats and a short video clip. seems everyone is judging already. All I would like to say is 95% of the fan base was judging Mad Nath on his previous club and 4 early games stating he was shit, out of his depth and clueless etc. Turns out that most have had to take a quiet moment of pause. Maybe we could try this again before we start frothing at the mouth and screaming at him. The obvious caveat to this comment is we all judged Carillo before his first game and we were spot on. funny old game football.

Oh my, I’ve only just stopped laughing after your last joke about Xg. What a crowd pleaser.

If i could be arsed I would go back through you posts and see if you made similar comments about any of Danny Ings goal where closed down the keeper and scored off the back of it. I suspect that doesn't fit your narrative though.

A bit like Gakpo did in his full debut against Brighton this weekend 😂

Yes it was dreadful against forest as bad as i can remember. Fans were rightly angry. But goals change games and if we hadn't given them a soft goal then the fans wouldn't have jumped on their backs during the game, the atmosphere woudlnt have been so toxic and their already fragile confidence smashed yet further down. Now look at Palace, one down its starting to get toxic but we get a lucky goal from a FK and the game changes for the better. I do understand our support is also effected by the levels of perceived effort during the game as well. Fans have a massive part to play in our relegation battle and i just hope we can keep the toxicity out of our support and help the club turn the corner.

Really interesting presser. I like what he has to say, what he wants to build and we are starting to see the things in the team that he thinks are important. Im fully on-board. Looking forward to going to Everton for more of the same.

He maybe be a fan but he is also a manager going public with comments on both a manager and player of another team suggesting that they are both shit. Totally unprofessional and deserved to be called out on it.

Yeah maybe a sense of solidarity and coming together of the team and manger after the crowd started boooing poor touches and long balls during the game rather than getting behind the team. isnt profession my arse. Fans treated him like shit, get personal and don’t like it when the spikey fucker gives it both barrels back. Why not just swallow your pride and accept sometime things take a little time to turn before you see green shoots. “you don’t know what your doing”, well it seems like he might do. I swear some fans want to see it all go wrong just so they don’t have to admit that maybe the judged too quickly.

But but but he is out if his depth, he doesn’t know what he is doing. early days but he is starting to in-still some fight and spirit into this side.

Agree with this. Most of the whinnying is from the fans that read selected quotes from Saints Extra on twitter and can’t even be bothered to to listen /read the entire Transcript including the actual questions asked. I actually like the fact that he has enough fight I’m him to give it back. Let’s hope he can instil that fight into the team. brighton and forest were fucking terrible but Fulham and Palace were better. Let’s hope we see improvement each game.

Each to their own I guess. I didnt think we were shit. I hope we get some better players in but I’m happy enough with the performance and hope we can take some confidence and move forward.

No pleasing some of the idiots on here.
