Saint Fan CaM

You see I don't see that as negative...it's wanting something good from our team. That's naturally positive in my book mate.

Probably. Heard he liked good 'screw'. Lol

OMB!!! Wotton is off!!! Ffs at last... now stay off forever.

Not heard Lamberts name once in commentary for ... Well the whole of the 2nd half actually!!!

Subs needed urgently now!!!

FFS - Davis saves the day again. Swansea taking **** out of Saints - can this really get any worse? How many outfield players does AP need to replace???

LOL!!!

Paterson nearly gets sent off with a terrible high challenge.

Another Swindon corner - another repeat of Saturday. Loads of opposition corners.

Ah ok - sorry, I think everyones nerves are exposed somewhat with this bollix.

Yeah, there's always some retard blaming the fans for rubbish football.

That was not a criticism of Lambert - as I said, it is down to the midfield and the non-existent service to him.

So where's all the f-ing goals that Lambert was supposed to score?! There are simply too many sh1te players left from the Dutch twerps. Especially at CB and midfield. I only hope AP tells Wotton to buck off because if he remains in the team after tonight I think I will lose faith in AP. Sort it out.

If AP does not sort out the midfield and CB positions quite quickly IMO there is a real chance that Lambert will go 'off the boil' as he will sink to the level of the team supplying him. In fact, there are a number of decent players over the last few years that have seen their performances go dramatically downhill because they have been mixed in with a mis-managed squad of utter poop - (e.g. Lallana). This is not about winning this league and a rapid rise to the Prem - this is about really sorting out the squad so it can SURVIVE this season, play some decent football and then fight its way upwards. At this rate though, we will be lucky to survive L1 such is the state of this demoralised team.

Funny how a dose of reality seems to have sunk in now it's been shown how much work has to be done to repair the squad. Now just a week after being happy clappy, we're starting to see some discontent - but will ML's cheque book be coming out to sort it all out? I wonder if all those that were saying good riddance to Surman now realise what a miss he is now in midfield. In terms of the team picked, I think the worst thing AP can do right now is swap the team around and play the lads out of position. If Melis was brought in for a reason, then play him and bed the lad into the side. Take Wotton out now - he is a spoiler, but he is spoiling our whole effort more than the oppositions by not playing decent football. Replace him with Schneiderlin or Gillet perhaps. At least one experienced and decent CB is required urgently as a permanent fixture in the squad. Anyway, onto the OP - we're still quite some way from being able to confidently beat ANY team in this league IMO. As someone rightly said in another thread, this squad has yet to find its level which is possibly L2. Major surgery before tomorrow will not happen, so I am thinking 1-1 or possibly 2-1 to Swindon.

Football is simple really. Pass to players on your own team- keep possession. Wotton does not do this. He is IMO 50% of the problem. The other 50% is shared by the CB's and wingers we do not have...so I guess that means AP also for not sorting out the mess.

Sorry no. We need a playmaker CM to get service to our strikers (who we have enough of. Agree we need to sort out both CB positions & right wing probably needs to be better.

Not winning the next two games would be very poor tbh. Not right to get worried yet, but too many defeats will see the squad lose self-belief.

Get down negative men and move on. Those two are the past - leave 'em there.

Yeah, been in an exec box several times...mixed with, let's say, certain influential people at the club. It's always nice somehow to get back with the rabble and sit in MY seat with me flask and sarnies (not prawn BTW). I actually think my view half-way up the Kingsland in row W on the centre-line is better than the Exec Boxes TBH.

I've said it before - I'll say it again. We need a decent strong, attack-minded, midfield general - a box to box type player to partner Schneiderlin and who can replace Wotton (who is nowhere near the level we need to get out of this division, let alone compete in the CCC). Add to that a good solid experienced CB and providing Rasiak stays then we're sorted. If Rasiak and Saga go then we need another striker - a Billy Sharp type player with some pace to run at defenders. So in short... AM ; CB ; ST .......done. Luxury signing - a left or right winger that can consistently get to the by-line. The tall black lad playing with Millwall on the left would be a great addition - he was fast and had good presence.

Not another moaner - blimey can't the club get anything right? Did you have a problem with the call centre? If not, what's the problem?

2-2 nailed on - they have a good goal scorer in the mould of Lambert - at CB we're not all there yet on set-pieces.

How do you change the positions of your players? I can't seem to find that option anywhere?!?

Well a check of the date of posting might help explain and anyway, I don't consider that post to be particularly negative as such - just a discussion and a chance to compare. Unfortunately, there are some knuckle draggers who like to pick a fight rather have a sensible debate.
