Issue is how do you clear out a load of salary stealers? Some of whom we only signed in January and have given new contracts to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now Martin gets a yellow card! Oh dear the wheels are starting to come off. Changing room is going to be frosty at full-time! 🤣 Alcarez pulls one back…our best player now. Can you just fuck off continually carping on about the manager. These players have been turd no matter who has been in charge. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a more inept tactical performance? Grimsby home, Wolves home, Forest home, Brentford home.....I could go on. You can change the way we play, but if you're asking awful players to implement it, then it could unravel quickly. The team that played on Friday were obviously able to pull it off in a matter of weeks, those tonight obviously cant. Further evidence that they shouldnt be anywhere near a squad pushing to return to the PL next year 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 8 August, 2023 Share Posted 8 August, 2023 Another player we need to be keeping hold of... Charly. This match has highlighted how important our jewels are to us and how poor our squad options are. Lavia aside I really hope we can do our best to keep the rest of our jewels, though I wouldn't begrudge JWP a Premier League move. But Tella, Charly, KWP, possibly ABK and maybe Sulemana... we need to try and keep those players if we can. We definitely need to focus on getting rid of the chaff.

Tonight just shows how thin the squad is on quality. We changed all 11 players so it doesn't really have a bearing on momentum or the league but my god if we are relying on any of the players who started tonight in a meaningful away this season we will be miles off promotion. It was an insult performance by a set of players who have long under performed, are in some cases taking huge wages from the club and are a mile away from even Championship standard on this showing. How we thought some of these guys could keep us in the Prem is absolutely beyond me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think anybody other than ourselves is going to give the tiniest sh*t about a team of Championship reserves losing to a L2 team. We all remember the glory years of the Markus takeover, that didn't start with Rickie in the England team. Right now we're in the Paterson, Gillett, Trotman and Saganowski phase. It's going to take time. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke SkyWalker-Peters Posted 8 August, 2023 Share Posted 8 August, 2023 I feel sorry for the fans that went, but I'm not surprised we got battered given the team. Stu, Alcaraz, Che and Amo-Ameyaw the only ones that we have seen look like 1st team quality recently. A bunch of players that aren't good, don't fit the system, have just come back from injury or are kids making one of their first senior appearances. Its not a surprise that they are performing far worse than the 1st XI were against a much better side at the weekend. Obviously Martin had to rotate the side as the league is the only important competition this season. This was never important and just an opportunity for depth players to get experience in the system. Its a shame as staying in the competition would have been valuable for the youngsters. Hopefully we put out a better team for the FA Cup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 8 August, 2023 Share Posted 8 August, 2023 So all this pointless passive possession counts for absolutely nothing if you don't have the know how, or players to turn it into goals, so what is the point of making it a key area of our tactics? I would much rather have the lions share of the goals than the lions share of possession. Sounded like we were at our woeful worst tonight, it's going to be a long hard season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted 8 August, 2023 Share Posted 8 August, 2023 Saints 72% possession 14 shots and 4 on target.

Baird of the land Posted 8 August, 2023 Share Posted 8 August, 2023 Not having extra games is hardly the end of the world(league is our focus) but definitely leaves a bad taste in the mouth that either Martin deliberately threw players under the bus or that he had such bad judgement to think that lineup was a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
