I don’t think anyone can save us now. We are on 14 defeats already, half of those are down to NJ. We are just two losses away from matching our own 16 from last season. Burnley went down with 17, Leeds scraped safety despite having 18. The worrying thing is we will lose a lot more to come. We can all see it, even the board. The NJ experiment has been an avoidable disaster.

Managers don’t need to implement a style. Just get them playing like they’re competent footballers and we might have a chance. This is something NJ cannot do.

The experiment hasn’t worked. He’s had months here now and we are regressing further and further. He’s garbage. May as well tempt Hodgson out of retirement.

Oh well.

I’m no NJ fan but, if there’s a grain of truth in this, the players don’t really like anyone, do they?

Not all teams will have the Dyche effect 😎

We have to win or we are down. I have a horrible feeling Everton will sneak a win against Arsenal.

Do the players look as if they’re playing for NJ? Does anyone appear to care about playing for Saints? I can’t remember the last time I saw any passion from a Saints squad, apart from a slight glimmer against a dreadful Everton side. No one seemed fired-up for a cup semi across both legs against Newcastle. The same happened against Leicester in the FA Cup semi under Ralph. We seem inherently stagnant, leading to an unsurprising bottom place position.

£15m each for players with only Championship experience - I’d say so. It’s only £5m below the figure being quoted that we are going in with for a new striker expected to save our season.

It’s clear how difficult it is to buy a top class striker. Ankersen can’t be to blame for the previous ownership spending huge cash on Adams and Armstrong. If they were decent finishers at this level then we wouldn’t be in as much mess as we are now.

Clubs can’t be tracking our dealings before jumping in at the last minute to gazump us, surely? It all just seems like bluster to create drama across social media on deadline day for us fans to lap up for the next 24 hours. I just don’t see the Vitinha/Onuachu deals happening.

Danny?

I agree with that. Unfortunately for me, our dreadful form over the past year suggests we don’t have much hope of getting out of this. NJ hasn’t convinced me he will.

I’ve not given up. It’s too early to do so. But the situation is worse than it looks on the table. We desperately need wins and didn’t get them from a run of favourable fixtures. The teams above us won’t keep losing. We can’t rely on luck, we simply have to start winning more games. To be honest, I can’t see us doubling our current win tally unless we buy a good quality striker.

There’s no doubt they would as they’re superior to NJ. I’m not the biggest fan of Jones but our performances have improved over the past few weeks. It’s clear to everyone we are just one good striker away from being a decent side. A goal scorer would’ve buried Che’s chance against Newcastle. We could have won against Villa with a good striker. it’s a travesty why we haven’t signed anyone.

We would have ended up with Ched Spence.

James Bree. Could he fondue a job for us?

I think we’ll draw this for an unwelcome replay. The Saints way.

Hopefully he’ll be like Telfer was for Strachan.

Poor old Franny in between two ex-Toon players. Biased.

I’m switching the commentary off. Insufferable.

Why does it feel like our players are trying not to slip over?

“Janny B, Janny B, Janny B, oh Janny B, he’s not Andre Wisdom, He’s Janny B”

NJ is calling him Janny B apparently.

Kleber Chala.
