Phone in a bomb scare?

Two players short I’m afraid with the useless non pressing Ely and Diallo and Jones picked them!!!!

Jones has obviously not researched previous games we have played at all.

I liked Jones but realise now he is clueless.

This is utter crap.. 

[hypochondriac]

There's not really an excuse for not playing Stuart Armstrong and Bella Kotchap at the very least. I can see the logic in playing Diallo so I can't really blame the manager for that decision but the rest has been bizarre.

I'd happily never see Diallo in a saints shirt again. But next week he'll be there avoiding the ball and doing nothing again.....

Agreed. He hasn't got clue what he is dojng, where to be, how to play the role. He offers no bite, no physicality, no protection. Useless as DM.

[Yorkshire Saint]

As Poyet just said, even making a tackle would be nice.

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

 

[John Boy Saint]

Got to say from my seat in the stand - you can’t pin this on Jones the application is fucking woeful from the players - simple passes are just going to no one - Brighton were beginning to look like “hang on boys this looks like a cunning trap” we’ve been that bad!

[FarehamSaintJames]

We deserve to go down.

Shambles from top to bottom.

But we all knew it, we all saw this coming. Unfortunately the muppets in the boardroom don’t.

[CB Fry]

Let the sixteen year old on. Make his day.

We're no good at football so we might as well be the Premier League version of the Make-A-Wish foundation.

[Convict Colony]

Have to say after Lincoln the other night this doesn't shock me and I'm not surprised.

Midfield was a huge issue for us v them let alone in the EPL.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Drop Bazunu.

Replace JWP as captain.

Pull off Lyanco,

Edozie is made of match sticks.

Djenepo is made of glass.

[Sheaf Saint]

Aribo and Stu on for Diallo and Djenepo.

[OttawaSaint]

I've played in pub teams thar looked more cohesive than Saints were in the first half. On a cabbage patch pitch, with big Dave still half pissed from the night before and Stevie puking on the sidelines every 10 minutes.

[bpsaint]

Here we go then come on Saints you twats. Let’s hope the god botherer has asked the big man for a miracle.

Oh yeah, I forget he's a Christian isn't he? So once we've done slagging him off for everything else, let's mock his personal beliefs. Which is actually fine tbf but if he was a Muslim you wouldn't have made a similar comment (obviously tailored toward whatever the Islamic version is).

2 and a half games and we've already turned on the manager. One of those one of the toughest grounds in Europe and the other one was an actual win. Are we STILL claiming our fans are anything other than pathetic?

Couldn't give a shit if he is a Christian, Morman or a fuckin Mooney he was the wrong appointment. 

[Saint_clark]

The season turns around here. 3-2 win incoming.

I can now see what Jones has been doing for the last 40 days, teaching us to play like Luton.  Where are his clown shoes?

Jones wont be here long enough to 'build a project'....

weird point to make

No, never at any point have I wanted either of those managers. Both will take us down, this argument is like saying, “this broken arm is terrible, I wish I had a broken leg FFS!”

[stknowle]

Nathan Jones you've been here too long (already)

[Suhari]

At least a chance.

[Sheaf Saint]

I doubt we'll be spending big in Jan. We seemingly can't even afford to print NJ onto Jones' coat.

[DT]

Edozie balloons it into row z

[Saint_clark]

Edozie playing through the middle? Could be interesting.

[OttawaSaint]

Better from Armstrong but Edozie shit himself.

With a broken leg at least I can have a decent wank!

[jabei]

Interesting to see our exceptionally strong and influential captain is escaping all criticism again. 

[CB Fry]

Edozie will never, ever, ever, ever score.

[HKsaint]

Ely passed the ball to the other side twice in a row

Based on a few games? 

[FarehamSaintJames]

Bit of composure and he scores there. Unfortunately, we don’t do composure.

[DT]

They’re passing like they’ve never met each other 

[OttawaSaint]

Did we practice all month in the light blue shirts? We seem really good at passing to players in light blue.

Ever? 

[SNSUN]

Fair play to Jones he's seen which of our players have been shit and is replacing them. Just a shame we can only use 5 subs...

[aintforever]

This manager is so out if his depth it’s scary.

I don’t think his performance today warrants him getting a cheeky hand job! 

[USaint]

Oh AMN, that’s the answer I’m sure

Not read the whole thread then?

[Saint NL]

I saw it!

I can't believe it. But it really happened.

 

Aribo was running! 😳

[OttawaSaint]

How is Lol-anco still on?

[Miltonaggro]

Think some of us may have been a bit hard on Paul Sturrock! 

[Sheaf Saint]

He's infinitely better at RB than he is in midfield.

you could make a decent size list of first team players that are too.

[DT]

What a fucking joke

[LGTL]

At least we can add ‘worse manager in the league’ to our ever growing repertoire.  

[SNSUN]

How much time did March get just then????!?!?!?!!? 

 

FFS we really are plop.

[bennyev]

How he thinks ely and Djenpo are more likely to win us a game than Armstrong and Aribo is beyond me.

Wait wait wait...I thought Ralph was bad because he DIDN'T play him?

[Suhari]

Worldie.

Anyone got Fat Sam's phone number?

[HKsaint]

Absolutely no chance! Wrong positioning
