Saint Billy

I see the game changer has come on.

I'm not going to lose sleep over Brighton talking to RM, in fact I hope it has legs. Let them enjoy turgid football for a change and us find someone who wants to get the ball in the back of the net in under 100 passes.

Plan A and B look very similar. After the 25 run plan A was sussed, plan B was very similar but involved dropping the best players, plan C surely must be to drop plan A and B and come up with plan D.

I'm guessing you mean Ted MacDougall🤣🤣

As long as we have won the possession stats everything is ok in RM's book

There seems to be an inherent lack of killer instinct with saints and I am going back long long before RM took over as manager. There seems to be an inbuilt mechanism to show lots of promise but to inevitably disappoint. It's a bit like supporting England.

Pass of the season.

Today really was inevitable. It's not just the hope that kills you but it is also the expectation of watching the same old game plan time and time again that was sussed by our opponents long ago.

Does XG take into account a shit defence in front of the goalkeeper?

What a player Rothwell is😁

A must win game. Sort out the sloppy kamikaze defending and we will win, ignore it and we will struggle.

Plenty of time for us to....... concede another one.

Jesus, I give up.

Were Mara and Sulemana wearing boots provided by Benny Hill?. FFS it looked like it as their finishing was beyond bad and almost comical. Fecking pro's, they are stealing a living, and don't get me started on Benny Hill's sidekick Smallbone. Confidence now knocked down another notch when with a strong lineup Liverpool were there for the taking. Well done RM.

3-0, time to switch channels and watch a re run of the clangers.

I think it's even more insulting to Liverpool that we have put out a weakened side with 8 changes thinking that it's enough to beat a weakened Liverpool side.

I'll probably switch channels once we are 3 nil down.

Need this game like a hole in the head.

This and I would have given Fraser an 8.

As another poster alluded too, I've witnessed so many defeats since early 60's that I've become punch drunk and almost numb to it but there is one that did get me in a uncontrollable frenzy. I think it was 2007 in the second leg playoffs against Derby. We lost the first leg at home 1-2 but got it back to 4-4 at Derby second leg. It goes to penalties and in his wisdom George Burley decides to give Leon Best, young and inexperienced, the task of taking the first penalty. I was apoplectic even before he took it knowing that the poor kid will miss. My anger was not with Best but with Burley for putting that that sort of pressure on him. We lost on penalties 4-3 and I still maintain that Burley lost us that game. I remember being in a stinking mood for a couple of days and family avoiding me at all costs.

If you are going to rotate squad don't put a weaker lineup against a side in form. That starting lineup was so wrong especially considering Hull's away record. What really fecks me off is this continual desire to have Bazuna play the ball out near and around our own box whilst being high pressed by opposition. The amount of goals we have conceded doing this is a joke and yet every game it continues. I put that result squarely at the feet of RM. He has done really well this season but needs to wise up as the better teams are sussing him out.

Brooks and Fraser on the bench, pure madness.

Quick stand outs for me from last night. Stuey Armstrong's chase back and perfect tackle, saving a good goalscoring chance. Yet another Fraser goal, what a player he is turning out to be, please sign him. Brooks goal, he looks class, please sign him. Bazuna's wonder save, almost up there with Gordon Banks back in the day. Perfect response to crap display and result to Bristol City.

Phew, great result eventually but not good for anyone suffering from IBS.

Weird how after just a couple of minutes you could see we were off our game. I suppose the run had to come to a stop at some point but a big concern is how vulnerable we looked.
