New manager bounce going great then.

We had it during the World Cup 

[saintant]

Midfield totally awol.

[JRM]

There is absolutely no character or fight in this Saints team, so easy to play against. 

I upset a few people suggesting Baz wasn't ready earlier in the season, he just isn't a top flight goalkeeper 

[Saint_clark]

I know we wanted a keeper who could play the ball like an outfield player but he genuinely looks like an outfield player that's had to go in goal.

[redkeith]

If the guy who does the half time playlist is reading this , can I suggest Joy Divison - A New Dawn Fades.

We are worse than we were under Ralph . Don’t know why we picked a Championship manager.

[Saint NL]

Lovely atmosphere at the ground...

Maybe the players need a bit of fear to kick start them playing 

[SNSUN]

If we go out in January and sign more "talented youngsters" I will despair of this club. That model works if we are a stable Premier League club. We are not. We need experience and we need it now.

 

Some of the passing from us in this game has been shit. Half hearted running about. It's embarrassing.

[hypochondriac]

Should have appointed Dyche tbh till the summer. 

[RedArmy]

There’s a reason he was playing for the skates last season, he is fucking shite. 

We need a new keeper the second the window opens or we are going down. 

[saintant]

Making them look like prime Barcelona.

I rest my case.

not totally his fault for the goal as the Bazunu touch fucked him, but I agree. Limited at best.

 

[Suhari]

We're really missing Oriel in the middle.

[Master Bates]

I want McCarthy on goal

[HKsaint]

We look like a bunch of headless chicken. Are League one playing like this?

Jones at Stoke deja vu

Yeah I'd say 50/50 however since Bazunu is responsible for everything and Perrued can do no wrong ever, I'll give Bazunu the benefit of the doubt.

[OttawaSaint]

I'd have preferred Aled Jones...

And a striker, and an AM. Oh, and a DM.

Wonder how deep SRs pockets are?

NJ was a joke of an appointment. Already were seeing exactly what I expected. A manger out of his depth. He's had no impact at all and looks more clueless than Ralph.

[Saint_clark]

What happened to that other keeper we signed? Liz or something?

[Bad Wolf]

Could someone please advise how Jones could have prevented this? What's he actually supposed to do here?

But Sport Republic did spreadsheets and scouting on him and everything.

They know better than us.

How are Goztpe doing today ?

As someone was watches a lot of Luton games I can tell you that this is fairly standard. 

[Edmonton Saint]

I guess our new manager bounce lasted for the first minute, because we looked quite good for a minute. Since then… horrific.

[OttawaSaint]

The fucking prick probably told them to just go out and play like the Argies. 

Team were tuning him out and though he said play like I got you from Argos...

Fear of what? They still get paid tens of thousands every week no matter what.

[Suhari]

Moi frustrated there, quiet rightly. Noone else pressing.

At least some of what we have in those positions are championship level.
This clown isn’t even that good. We are fucked with him in goal, he couldn’t catch Covid in China at the moment. 

[Suhari]

Lots of booing at half time.

I thought he'd been working with them since November? Or was that a different manager?

[adrian lord]

Utterly impotent. 

[stknowle]

We be are being utterly schooled. An absolutely horrendous watch. Merry Xmas!!!

We are missing a middle.

[nta786]

What fu**ing metrics did this guy succeed in to make it worthwhile hiring him?

Confidence is shot, I thought we were down after the Everton home game to be fair, but this is just sealing my opinion. 
 

 

[OttawaSaint]

About 10x worse than Ralph, that takes some doing. 

[Saint NL]

Boooooooooooooooooo

[AlexLaw76]

everything about the club, on and off the pitch, deserves relegation

Not take the fuckin job for a start

[benjii]

Tactically we're all over the place.

Jones out. Seriously. 

 

[Chez]

watch Diallo's play during that last chance for Brighton just before half time. Fucking embarrassing defensive midfield play. Pathetic. The whole half was horrible, but his play there has got me fuming. Lightweight....grrr aghhhhhhhhh, Fuck offfff.

[niceandfriendly]

Give the team a chance FFS

[Disco Stu]

No DM means we concede all control of midfield and this is the result. Combined with piss poor keeping and awful finishers and there's no saving this team.

[saintant]

Totally wrong team selection.  Long time since I've seen us so outplayed by Brighton. Doesn't bode well.

[Saint NL]

They're even playing Fat Boy Slim at half time 

Everything is Brighton today

[BotleySaint]

Brighton are a decent side these days. But we've got nothing at all to offer at this level.

We look mid to lower league 1 quality.

I work with a Lincoln fan who made the trip last week, and he said he has seen plenty of better sides in League 1.

If this bunch played against our 2010/11 promotion team they would get annihilated.

[Isla Wight]

Awful. Glad I didn’t go today 

[Streaky]

Who is gonna want to sign for us. Certainly nobody with talent. We are a club on the decline and have been since koeman left.
