St Marco

Huge win. But let's not kid ourselves that second half was shocking. The changes ****ed us.

I thought we deserved that. Yeah we had a lot of luck and stuff but we had the better chances. When you got two crap teams it was never going to be a classic. Boufal has to start now instead of Redmond.

Great free kick. Now please, please don't **** up in the last few mins.

Ings goal machine! Come on Saints, we need that winner!

Takes 5 mins to set up and take his free kick. Hits the wall....

Burley got Ipswich into 5th or something in their 1st season in the PL. Maybe we should get him in?

Must win today. Even more so that results just above us are going against us. Please no back 5 Ralph.

Ah my bad haha. Schoolboy error.

Gutted we didn't win with all the chances we had. Especially the two from Djneppo But performance wise I think they all did well. There are a lot of positives to take from it. Sure as always there were the mistakes and awful defending but a point away to Arsenal is a good result for us. The next two games are must win games though.

Edit:dumb mistake

**** penalty but well done on following it in. COYS!

defo pen

I thought we were the better team first half. First 15 mins we played some really good football. Didn't **** about as much on the ball, tried to get it forwards. Wing backs were looking for overlaps. We had a lot more players further up the pitch. Players getting their foot in creating blocks and deflections that bounced to us. Obefemi and Ings working hard up front. Some negatives for sure but in comparison to the **** we have seen recently that is a very good 45mins from us.

So we are on the edge of their box and jwp goes all the way back to our keeper....

Still the better team imo. Just need to stop the mistakes.

jwp got done there

Playing really well imo. Much quicker with the ball.

**** yeah! Ings goal machine

Going for 36 mins on the Obefemi coming off injured sweepstakes

We are total gash. I think maybe its because they are on a bad run and the natives are restless. That could take pressure off us. I am sure that feeling of optimism will change to dread once our team sheet is announced though.

Don't know why but I got a feeling we might get a win/draw from this one.

Was this the training ground that was included in the value of the assets when the club was sold? To put that into perspective Hoedt and Carillio cost more than that. Also a fact people seem to ignore is we actually posted profits when he was in charge. Without selling players. Despite this so called spending spree. Cortese on a personal level was a total ****head. But on the business and football side he was good.

In a way I agree with what you are saying. The amount of cash we are paying ex managers must be pretty high. You can't keep on going down that route. However if we are being totally honest a club in our position/stature can't go out and buy 5-6 top players a season. It just can't be done with an owner like the one we have. Plus those top players won't come here now anyway. The players we have are likely to be the ones we have for a couple of seasons. Which means the manager is going to have to find a way to get them playing better. Or more specifically make them not as easy to be beaten. You can't keep changing a manager. You need stability. But based on this season and the end to last season do you buy into his vision? Do you think the effort is there? Have you seen enough to make you think given more players the system will work and we will improve? Personally I haven't seen it and that's what worries me. I think it was Wilder who said something like "I'm not going to praise effort, effort should be expected every game. If a player isn't doing what he is asked to do he won't play. I am not going to appease the fans. Someone else is always waiting for a chance. If a player keeps giving the ball away to quality players that creates a bad situation for the rest of the team." Obviously every manager is different in how they do things. But from what I have seen from Ralph he keeps doing the same-thing, keeps making the same mistakes and isn't learning from them. That is a sign of a bad manager. We all want the club to do well, we want to win games. If Ralph is the one who deserves that stability and time to build his own team he needs to start showing some improvements. Getting beat is one thing. Getting beat 0-9 and the manner of other defeats is something else. The players are not helping him, they are letting him down. But he has the authority to drop them, to exclude them and pick someone else. They might make the same mistakes and put in the same or worse level of performance. If we are going down at least go down with a fight. Try something different rather than accept the inevitable.

So 1 point from the last 21 on offer is good going with the group of players we have?
