Why did Olomola return?

 

His loan was only 6 months at Yeovil. Was lots of talk of them offering him a contract for a permanent move (perhaps hinting we're letting him go at the end of the season).

 

But with Barnes going there, I'm assuming he's perhaps looking at going to a higher level.

Well the U23s were relegated last season.

The first team will be relegated this season.

 

Don’t look like we are breeding or buying success these days.

We play like robots, to Les' template no doubt. Most of the players aren't much kop either. Can't we just bin Gardos off? He's obviously nothing other than the waste of a space.

Maybe Yoshi's hammy is bad and we actually decided we needed another centre-back handy.

Pretty sure they showed Jaidi shouting from the sidelines earlier?

There seems to be a general malaise around the whole club right now....really all season.

 

Don't know what's gone wrong but things do not look good anywhere.

 

Really, really poor from the club

Our defence is a shambles. Gardos and Targett aren't even good enough for U23 division 2 level. The one bright spot is Sam McQueen who looks good enough for Les Reed to sell to Liverpool one day. The U23s have now lost 2-4 to Wolves and 1-4 to Villa in successive games. Jaidi's vague instruction, shouted from the sideline, "Do something," just about sums up how poor the coaching is at the club nowadays.

Boy, was that depressing! Where was the possession game? just gave the ball away all over the pitch, no cohesion, teamwork or balance.

This is what we are trying to sell globally!

Someone ought to tell Les that 4-2-3-1 isn't working.

 

Someone ought to tell City, and United, and Arsenal, and and and...

Nothing wrong with the formation. But the tactics the players follow and their mentalities to get into good positions? That's a problem.

He had one half of a good game didn’t he when he came on as sub at Old Trafford ?

 

He was alright in the League Cup game at Arsenal too, but that's it.

Never, ever rated him. Supposed International standard defender who can't kick a ball with both feet and ho has the turning circle of the moon.

To be fair to Gardos, I don't think he really recovered from his cruciate ligament injury.

 

Before that he wasn't exactly quick, but these days he makes Per Mertersacker look like Eusain Bolt.

How much has been spent on that academy? Very little return for the money. Same problem running through the whole club,a lack of people with any footballing nous and owners without a plan or the ability to change it.

Have been saying this was happening for about 2 years now, but the happy clappers said everything was rosy. One area that does seem to be improving though is the u18s where things have started to look up since Danny Butterfield was appointed. Needs serious surgery at the top of the Academy.

I watch a lot of the u23 games whether online on at St Mary’s and the standard has been declining gradually, not just the standard of players but the entertainment of the games, we're poor to watch at every level at the moment.

 

I also notice a big drop in the number of people that turn up for games at St Mary’s despite it being free compared to a few years ago when there was a real buzz around.

 

When saints were banging on about our academy and the “we don’t buy success we breed it” it’s worth noting the youngsters making a name for themselves at the time like Ward-Prowse, Shaw and Chambers has all been with the club since the Lowe days and the current ownership had been lucky to inherit them.

 

U18s are away to Blackpool in FA Youth cup 4th round tonight will be interesting to see how they get on.
