I thought we were shite got lucky with a draw.

I'd put a cheeky one in for Liam Delap if Adams goes

Amad Diallo was a name we were linked to. Could we go back in for him? Or is he injured

Considering the strength of our squad anything other than promotion this season is a catastrophe. Dress it up all you want " We need time " What so we can float around this league and lose further assets in the Summer.....

Get rid....

I don't think we are going up this season.....

Anyone got a working stream? Cheers lads

The man needs to take accountability and ownership and say that the system / style of play just isn't working. Put the ego to the side and drop this possession based tika-taka at the back which will ship us goals time and time again. Either go back to a more basic / traditional approach and eliminate this whole need to dominate possession. We are not Man City! and never will be in the same class. We are fielding a midfield of similar players such as Smallbone and Downes. Where is the directness the creativity and driving runs into the box? Oh that's right we have a player called Alcaraz who is one of the best players in the squad technique wise left out in the cold. The insistence and stubbornness to continue to play this possession based Man City model will ultimately cost us a chance of promotion. The southampton fans have already worked out it is ineffective. Swansea fans previously knew it was ineffective. So it clearly doesn't work and isn't going to be the key to us achieving promotion. So what is the actual point of playing this way? Am I missing something here ? If Russell lacks the capability to switch things up and doesn't understand that our current setup can be undone easily by the opposition pressing... Then I'm sorry but the man is out of depth and needs to go. I would actually give him until the international break if we are serious about any chance of Premiership football next season then we need to be more reactive! Unless Sports Republic are happy for us to just float around the championship to develop a "project" and heal the " scar tissue " Or whatever nonsense their mouth pieces / puppets will spout. I've seen enough already lads

Selling Romeu Selling Tella

The reality is Sports Republic haven't got a facking clue how to run a football club. Since they have purchased Southampton F.C it has been a sucession of stupid decisions, appointments and misery. Where has the identity of our club gone? The pride, passion and excitement. It's like we are just a empty vessel on a steady course to the lower leagues. Somebody needs to grow a set and take some accountability because right now we are rudderless and free falling...

You look at Boro they showed grit, determination and steel. In comparison we just looked clueless... We need someone to instill a bit of passion and pride. The football we are playing is boring to watch 😴 KWP, Adam Armstrong Edoize and Stuart Armstrong are the ones who looked interested and did something today rest can jog on.....

Seen enough of this clown 🤡 Get Allardyce in least he would set the team up properly and actually field players in correct positions... We might even get a clean sheet once in a while 🤣

We lost before a ball was even kicked.... That lineup seriously what the actual fack! What is it with last couple of managers trying to be clever and playing players out of position! It's not rocket science you slick hair tit! Charles as a defensive mid from the start... and actually field the CBs.... Jesus facking wept!

Some of the decision making is baffling. All that talent sold and we bring in a couple of loans and a sprinkling of youth..... We get rid of Perraud, I'm sorry but he is a way better player than Manning.. We are relying on the likes of Smallbone and even offered him a 3 year deal.... Watch how many times he is bypassed in a game it's ridiculous. For a laugh before games I try and select a team and I'm like well where is the height? Where is the tough tackling midfielders? This has been the same story for a couple of seasons now... All we have is a team of lightweight midgets.... The over reliance on youth is killing us it's insanity. Get the chequeook out ASAP and bring in two experienced destroy / leader type players You know sort old skool no messing about straight in and whack! A couple of Romeus is what we need desperately...

We are so lightweight in midfield Need one or two signings but like proper no nonsense experience destroyer Romeu types...

Fack me I thought Rasmus was about unveil our new manager. A Chatgpt Avatar 🤣🤣

Someone get on the blower to Allardyce. Least we wouldn't be facking about pretending we are Man City trying to play Tiki-taka at every given opportunity... Least he would get the defence organised and actually set the team up with some form of shape and cohesion. That's what we need a manager who can actually organise a team. Not these hipster / big heads thinking they are the next Guardiola's and have the tactical gifts and philosophies to dazzle.. For it to become soon apparent that these melons couldn't manage a hot drink on a cold day let alone a facking football team chasing promotion.... Get someone in with a bit of heart and bollacks and who isn't going to mess around being soft and pals with the players. We need someone who isn't afraid to cut loose with the hairdryer treatment when we suffer a battering.... Someone who will really shake things up and fire a rocket up the arses of the players and even the board members.... Otherwise league 1 incoming

Is it Sports Republic pulling the strings and telling the managers to play a specific way? Why the inability to be more flexible in terms of tactical setup and reaction to the game in progress. I'd rather have Ralph back than this clown....

The whole club needs a wake up call and reality check. We are not as good as we think we are. The Russell football philosophy of being clever and keeping possession at the back will ultimately be our undoing. Shipped 16 goals in the space of a couple of games.... Burnley shipped 30 odd in promotion season.... 🤣 Today from the get go was abysmal our midfield was powder puff. As for the defence where is the organisation and shape? When a centre back receives the ball I'm thinking just hoof it forwards don't mess about with it! You look at Leicester and pay attention the amount of times they carved us open on the counter with 1-2 passes was ridiculous.... Where is the urgency ? Flexibility to switch up tactics to become more resilent ..... I saw neither I will give him 5 more games if he keeps serving up this kamikaze shite get rid.....

Jesus wept! Least give him a few more games...

I don't get it? Do they think the vaccines were unsafe or experimental? Where does such skewered logic come from?

The man is as mad as badgers! Has obviously spending alot of time round David Ickes gaff.. Some of the stuff he says absolute melon!

All this passing it at the back nonsense and keeping possession I think time and time again will be our downfall this season. Will be like groundhog day watching the defence playing table tennis to then play to midfield and be countered with one splitting long ball 🤣🤣🤣 I can understand fhe philosophy if we are City...

Agreed surely the most logical step would be to build cohesion and consistency with player positions. This chopping around and being clever etc has never worked.

I've had time to process: Why do our managers continuously try and be clever and play players out of position. Conclusion it never has worked stop doing it. Bazunu is a liability said it last season has wrists like weetabix can't save toffee.... Why we didn't strengthen the GK with experience is beyond me. Holgate why did we sign him? Can somebody anwser that ? I'm sorry but just looked totally out of depth and useless. Manning ? Is this lad capable of tackling ? I'd rather of kept Perraud. This fancy play it out from the back nonsense might work with the likes of City but for us it's gonna seriously bite us in the ass. Opposition will counter with ease. We need to go back to basics and play Charles and Downes as def mids. Adams up top Bellis and Bednerek is Kotchap still here ? Looking at it now our centre back options are pretty crap If Kotchap is off...
