Dark Munster Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 That goal cost us £2m. Add in £19m wasted on the clown's joke Monaco player and the overall cock up this season of not sacking him months earlier, hopefully all of that and finishing 17th will be the straw that will get Bunsen and Beaker sacked.

geoffnut Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 The clear out starts now, let's not have another season like that. Always thought the ref would add on sufficient extra time for Man City to get their 100 points, but they are easily the best Premier league side.

Pamplemousse Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Oh and how badly did the commentators want City to score? I just think they were trying to keep the neutral from switching over, bit of a rubbish final day for Sky Sports. Man City 100 points was the only thing riding on the game.

Minsk Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Good performance. Deserved a point, but the least bothered I've ever been about losing to a last minute goal. At least it gave City the ton. Hughes has done a great job to turn our performances around. Deserves to be given the job full time, which I hope will be done and dusted within a week. Short transfer window this summer and a World Cup thrown in to boot. Let's get our business done early and give Sparky a good preseason to have them up and running from the get-go next season.

saint1977 Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Relief, didn’t think the ten goal swing was likely, but just glad to get this season done having endured an even worse manager than Branfoot in Pellegrino. Hughes has saved Kreuger, Reed and Wilson, making our summers rather more pleasurable as a result. Enjoy tonight and then hard work starts tomorrow in terms of buying the 4-5 first players needed and offloading the likes of Boufal and Forster, although latter might be hard to shift with his wages. With the WC, and an earlier close to the window, business needs to be direct and brisk this summer. CB with leadership and presence in the air is first, Rogic as Davis replacement etc the second, pacy forward eg Promes next and then strong striker. Full back replacements if Bertrand or Cedric go on top. Squad is too big so bit of a clear out needed and only sign first team certs only, too many fringe players. Only really Romeu has actually started a majority of games. Hughes seemingly has them training properly now for English football so expect that to change next term with better core fitness. Would also like to see the new regime setting out some vision, Hughes staying, Reed stepping out of first team matters bar transfers which should be a collaborative process. Besides, academy gone stale so Les’s focus needs to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Glad that’s all over with. Been horrible for the past few months having this spectre of relegation hanging over us and the horrible anxiety that goes with it. Looking forward to the next 3 months not having to worry about Saints, and hopefully having an enjoyable summer which sees Krueger and Reed shown the door, Hughes signed up for a couple of years at least, and some decent transfer dealings. Shame we couldn’t hold on for the point, but a reminder of course how poor our defence is and that we need to keep the fitness up until that final whistle.

John B Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 So fcking annoyed about this result. To play that well and get done by the long ball in the 93rd minute if unforgivable. So often this season hard work is just thrown away. Literally seconds left. We matched them in that game, really should have scored but you just knew we wouldn't. Didn't help we carried Redmond for an hour or more. What is wrong with him? Absolutely brilliant at Everton and useless at Swansea and today. Lost the ball every time he got it. Thought Stephens and Hoedt played well, Hojberg and Romeu excellent. But we need a leader in the centre of defence with them to stop this pathetic ****e happening at the end. I suppose this season didn't deserve to end any other way. Relieved we'd stayed up. Relegation with a squad this expensive and experienced when the competition is so, so poor would be ridiculous. Let's move on and start afresh. I assume Hughes will get the job. Probably fair enough but 2 wins in 8 and the amount of points we've thrown away still concerns me. Great post totally agree Although we have stayed up I feel little has changed - few goals and concede late Hughes has done what he came for and thanks for that but not sure he will be here in the long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 Survival is worth every penny of what I'd have gained from the insurance bet, but it's a shame we couldn't hold out for the point, finishing us above Huddersfield and gaining us and extra couple of million quid. Whenever we go into a season, we look for 3 teams worse than us, but I would never have predicted it would be the three that have finished below us. Still, as Dalek so often says, look for 17th and the rest is a bonus. Too close for comfort though. Keep Hughes, start the rebuilding next week (not in bloody July) and we might actually not be in the same crap we were this season. As for today, we were the better team at times, it's a shame we couldn't nick it. Hoedt is growing in stature and could be a big player for us next year. My MOTM. Shame we switched off at the end though. I lay the blame for the cruddy season about 80% at Pellegrino's door and 20% at Reed and co. Pellegrino was out of his depth and never should have been chosen, not least being able to sign a player who can barely kick a ball for our record signing. Hughes is much better and I hope he signs the contract. Oh, and that will royally annoy the Stoke fans too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
