Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Exactly. Just remind me of NJ, which sends a shiver down my spine. At least WS doesn't seem to be as deluded as NJ was. I don't understand why the board didn't get a manager with experience. It's another gamble and is no doubt based on making money, in that if WS is a success and a big club comes in for him then there'll be a payout.

I think it's slowly becoming clear that SR has taken the cheap option and it's going to backfire, again. I'm not saying he should be sacked, just that I've seen nothing from him that makes me think he's a 'master tactician' and 'one of Europe's best young coaches'. Just disappointed that Saints didn't go and get a manager with some Championship experience.

I think anyone would have been better than this bag of wind. He's all talk.

Still waiting for the so called 'Tactical genius' to show up. If he's one of Europe's top tacticians then football is f*cked. We'd have been better just appointing a manager with experience at this level. Pretty confident that Dyche or Wilder would have us top 6 at this point. From what I've seen so far we'll be lucky to finish in the top half of the table. To add insult to injury, they've spent about £40m and we look no better.

What happened to Will Still being one of the top tacticians in Europe? I'm yet to see any evidence. 🙄

We're getting fuck all today, which is exactly what we deserve based on the performance so far. Same old Saints. Still shit!

6/10. We replaced the players we sold with reasonable replacements but I don't think we've addressed the glaring issues. We needed a keeper, a CB and a striker and didn't sign any of them. Well, we signed a keeper who's worse than what we already have, which is quite some achievement! That signing makes no sense at all! Maybe, Still feels that all these attacking midfielders are going to provide the goals so didn't see the need for a striker? Why he hasn't addressed our defensive issues is a mystery. We've been throwing away the lead in games for years. It should have been the first thing that was addressed and I don't think it has been. We won't finish top 6!

Bring Charlie Taylor on for Edwards and go to 4 at the back. Get Fraser or Armstrong on in place of BBD.

Fuck me, we're so shit! We're gonna need an experienced striker. Downes is never going to be the solution. Just get Romeu and Ings in. They're the sort of thing that's needed at this level.

As predicted. Getting beaten by the only team I hate as much as P****y. This is a new all time low for me. 😡

Been saying for weeks that we don't have the players required and don't look anywhere near ready. This sums it up. There's no way we'll beat those Welsh c**ts next week.

We've got rid of loads! We're a week away from the start of the season and we haven't exactly set the world on fire with new signings, infact, this summer feels just like last summer in that we haven't bought what's needed, again!

"We have a good Championship squad". Yeah, if you're expecting a mid-table finish. That's not a squad capable of a top 6 finish! Our squad is bang-average. It's lacking a sold rock of a midfielder. An experienced CB. A creative midfielder and a winger. I'm not conviced we'got what's needed up front either. There's a complete lack of experience across the entire squad. You need a few old wise heads who've been around a bit. I'd rather see Nathan Wood staring ahead of Stephens, but Jack seems to know where the bodies are buried and somehow that gets him in the starting 11 every week, despite him being a complete liability.

1. That's a team that's got mid-table written all over it. 2. Have you seen Bazunu's pre-season performances?

I genuinely hope they prove me wrong but I don't see Archer or Stewart scoring more than 10 or 12 goals.
