Even though he often plays 3-4-2-1, if I were SR I would still be looking at someone like Challinor - he's an "unproven mananger", and he's got a smaller reputation - it feels like the sort of stature we tend to go for (rather than big or established names). They got a 1-0 win over Huddersfield today, meaning Stockport leapfrog them up to 4th and only 6points off the autos... (I.e., he's once again on course to maintain his incredible record of at least finishing in playoff spaces as a manager (the bare minimum for saints)... And regardless, I would argue it's basically impossible for him to do worse than the likes of Still, Eckert, Selles, Jones, Juric at saints 🥴, or indeed any other mananger sports republic might pick. It's truly mental how much money we've spent on players and hiring/sacking shit managers that have basically achieved sod all between them and often don't even know the English game - most important job in the club is getting in a tactically good manager 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. He was getting linked to the Sunderland job the year they went up, it really is only a matter of time before he moves to a champ job (and probably to a club above us in the pyramid the way we're going under SR... Or maybe he'll be above us with Stockport in 1 year time).

Surely he just can't swallow this unacceptable shit that's being served up by SR and Eckert any longer? The entire fanbase needs to turn asap.

Feels like SR are naively holding on and things will come to a head at Fratton... We're like a robin reliant stalled on the tracks in the face of a freight train as it stands... we're going to get humbled - this team has no belief, no confidence, and is the most tactically appalling saints side I've watched. I reckon you'd be very hard pushed to find a saints fan feeling optimistic about that game as it stands... SR could have acted to save the end of the season, so the only assumption any of us could make it that they really are so incompetent as to still being supporting the intern.

Embarrassing.

It's no different to the WBA game, his tactics are to basically cede the entire pitch to the opposition, invite them to come and score, and see if we can hold on. Have we ever had a more tactically illiterate manager?

🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Just how shit are we?

Come on billy, you can do it... End our misery and send Eckert packing!!!!

Plenty of people thought he was mustard @revolution saint being a prime example who was all too ready to rip into anyone who said a cautionary word early doors... 🤣😂

The answer is so obvious, and yet it's just another example of how toddlers could set saints up better than Eckert 🤣😂

Imagine being 3-0 up Vs a lower league side and fucking it up so badly you have to bring on scienza who should be resting.

I'd take losing this if Eckert goes. Edit - Might even adopt Donny as one of my soft spot teams if they can do that for us.

There is no syndrome mate. This is literally how the f'ing tuesday of a manager wants to play. This is his tactics.

When we lose this, surely he has to go?

Commentator: "Southampton haven't shown anything since the restart" "Doncaster look like a totally different team". Obviously... We just have a shit hungry eyed German Southgate managing us. You wouldn't find more tactical illiteracy if you asked toddlers to manage saints.

Salisbury are having an entertaining afternoon at least...
