Mr X Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Make or break for Russy baby it's not to early to say this is a pivotal game a six pointer it you like, anything less than a win and I think the tide may turn in the good will towards him, if you can't get a single point on the board and your losing to other clubs predicted to be in the relegation mix things aren't going to end well for you. He could end up with a record even worse than Nathan Jones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a team sport at this level that can make a difference when small gains help. And my interpretation of how Russ views his team would mean ABK is not favoured over more ‘loyal’ players despite his positive attributes. Even Branfoot had to accept he was harming the team by leaving out MLT. ABK won't add goals to the team (he can hardly make it worse as only defenders have scored in 90 minutes). When he played in the prem, he was easily good enough before the shoulder injury. Put it this way, if and when RM gets the bullet, I'm confident the new manager will start him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was rank last season and with KWP not moving on and Taylor looking decent at Goodison, it’s the only game time he will get until January. I thought he’d be Danny Fox with slightly more pace but Danny was a far superior player at Champ level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago A number of people seem to think that the person to save our season is the same person who allegedly faked a dislocated shoulder because he didn't fancy a midweek game against Nottingham Forest and then got subbed off because he didn't fancy the away game as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucester Saint Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Hoping we can build on midweek - wins at Goodison are rare, pens or not - but need to get the midfield right and move the ball quicker around the pitch as Ipswich will be looking to counter-attack. If their fans jeer Flynn again it might key him up. Would a Downes-Fernandes-Lallana midfield to start be too lightweight? Question also of whether Lesley can start two games in a week.

Two decent league cup displays don’t hurt either. I thought Ryan might be better going forward with the assists at Swansea and QPR but didn’t materialise that much. Bree has looked better going forward IMHO and the humdinger at Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could end up with a record even worse than Nathan Jones. WTF?! RM managed us to a promotion, winning The Richest Game in Football™ for many fans one of the most enjoyable days following Saints they can remember. Nathan Jones wasted the World Cup window, lost 8 of 9 PL games and was sacked after just 95 days. The cup wins against Lincoln Town, Everton plus the genuinely unbelievable match against Man City must be doing a lot of heavy lifting in your head!

I love Dibling and wouldn't mind him starting. However I foresee RM wanting to "look after him" and avoid him being kicked to death by the tractor boys from minute one. He just turned 18 so maybe best to not start him every game yet though it's very tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you got it, we are struggling. 4 games in and the knives are out it’s pathetic. My opinion is that we would struggle to stay in the prem. if we did we would have had an outstanding season. That has not changed. Didn't we lose the first 4 back in the prem in 2012? And won the fifth game vs Villa.... (4-1) and started getting some momemtum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
