Bewildered

No urgency or fight and no Plan B tactically.

Either get Tella on second half for Redmond or get Jankewitz on for Redmond and move Armstrong out wide.

Players are so weak mentally and have been for a long time and unfortunately it is down to the manager and coaching staff to instill a strong mentality in the squad which they have failed to do.

Made it so easy for Newcastle to defend once they went down to 10. All too slow and too central, no attempt to pull them wide and create gaps. Redondo had zero business staying on for 90 minutes. On the other hand Newcastle showed the spirit and bottle we lack to win that, if the roles were reversed we would have been slaughtered.

All seems to be leading to us selling him in the summer for less than we paid to get him. Unfortunate, but only 12 months left on his contract come summer time, we are going to be in no position to play hardball on negotiations.

Looks like a despicable attempt by Man United/Liverpool to use the financial trouble faced by EFL teams due to covid 19 to leverage more power for the top 6. Don't be fooled by the 9 clubs nonsense since decisions would need 6 votes from 9 to pass, making it easy for the big clubs to do what they want.

Hopefully we can trick one of our options into signing for us before another club moves in.

Cross Luis off the list, off to Monaco on loan.

I'm not sure we will back him right now. Disinterested owner who has us in balance the books mode while seemingly looking for a buyer. We might get a midfielder in, but I think it will be a loan/cheap option. Ralph does seem to be showing frustration with lack of transfer activity over the last few days in interviews.

The Saints Foundation should be in for another windfall after that. Set up the team to avoid another cricket score, nothing else.

No mention of investment in the squad, just that bad players will be sold (To who? Nobody wants them).

Not a manager in the game that would get this shower of garbage playing well consistently or flourish with the awful recruitment and lack of support from ownership.

So predictable, they just seemed to turn into headless chickens the moment it went into injury time, like the pressure of staying level at HT was too much...

That's the problem with VAR, only as good as the referees who looks at it.

3-1 , penalty after ref gave bull**** handball against Yoshida

RH is doing his press conference for the Burnley game in 20 mins, maybe he will tell us if it's worth following deadline day or if we can skip straight to going nuclear.

Oof, can't say anybody has played well so far.

In news elsewhere reports in France suggest Everton agreed a fee with PSG for Idrissa Gueye, but Silva is threatening to quit if Everton go through with it.

Jardim, who they went crawling back to after Henry failed big time, doesn't like him and is desperate to get rid.

On twitter he also said we have other striker targets, though he didn't name them.
