Bournemouth 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Bad Wolf]

Christ imagine if Baz had conceded that...

[Guest]

2-0, route one, knock down, lay off.

Simple as that Russ. Take note.

[Saint NL]

Relegation looms.

This is pitiful.

[adrian lord]

Sack him. 

[AlexLaw76]

Another goal where it started with nothing up top. They run at us and score

be lucky not to ship 4 or 5 here with this set up.

but hey, Martin is the man… right?

[6ft8saint]

This is awful I could see the goal coming from change over

Helps if they are set up to actually stand a chance first.

[obelisk]

This is hopeless from Saints. Showing no intent at all. Completely outclassed by Bournemouth.

[Sheaf Saint]

Seven defenders in the box and not one of them marking the guy on the penalty spot.

Fucking clueless.

But they could do better if we set up properly. Total mess today. Surely RM's last game in charge.

As said, calling it. 
if you think he will be here by Xmas, good for you. I disagree

Expand  

I don't think he will be either. Never said he would be. But I'm not calling for it as our team is just not good enough. 

[Suhari]

2-0

That's what happens when you play with pace and intent.

That was a decent goal all round, and showed everything that Russball doesn't.

RM is, once again, showing that he's out of his depth.

Managers just not good enough 

[Wiggles31]

At least this means Martin will be gone. Worst performance of the season so far which says a lot. 

[RedArmy]

At least we’ve got 5 goal shy attackers on the bench. 

[IronCitySaint]

Wow, we are awesome

[benali-shorts]

the squad is terrible, but the set up is bizarre.

[Baird of the land]

Quick football 2, crab football zero

Suagawara appalling tonight

It would be quicker to name the players who are doing ok. Downes, and…..

[Saint Fan CaM]

Bum fluff out of sight by half-time. That’s it for me - Russ is out of his depth massively. Get the phoney out of the club.

[AllyD]

Painful losing 2-0 against this crap!

I admire him for stick to a principle. However he is not Pep who tbf is making a couple of errors himself.

Nothing against our team, but we are not world class Champions League winners. 
 

Please can we play the Saints way, oh dear just conceded goodnight…,,

 

Expand  

why? It didnt work in the championship and so it was never going to work at premier league level

In a formation with a striker and two wingers, not with Fernandes playing as one of two weird false 9 roles alongside Dibling. 

Expand  

This. I love how people take things totally out of context on here. They aren't playing in midfield.

That may be, but the players are Championship players so we've not got a chance. 

[Patches O Houlihan]

Football sucks arse on nights like these. Spawny cheating fucking Bompy 

[die Mannyschaft]

Oh well game over.

[Saint86]

And now a deflection. We ain't playing well, but we're getting bent over. And all of that from fernandes recieving a two handed push right in front of Oliver and nothing being given.

Taylor has been ok. Fernandes has found some space on occasion. 

We are utterly appalling. 

[Luke SkyWalker-Peters]

Would be great if he had a German international defender to bring into this squad. Ideally one that is physically dominant and can play with the ball too. Hyphenated name always a plus.

Martin needs to get over his issues with ABK because we need him desperately.

[Wiggles31]

Even if we somehow won this 3-2 I’d still sack him. Dibling up front is ridiculous. We’ve been dreadful and playing out from the back is creating nothing. Fuming.

It's deflected about five yards in front of him you dumb cunt

So easy.

 

Martin OUT!

 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Looking forward to Gio's spin on this and defending Martin after this shite

That does not mean we stick with Martin and effectively give up. I doh t the owners gambled in nothing with the 6th biggest net spend in the country 

sooner Martin goes, the better

[Harry_SFC]

Yeah, cheers Russ but goodbye. Absolutely bizarre set up. 

[CB Fry]

We've moved from him "sticking rigidly to his principles come what may" to putting the team through a random selection and formation generator and sticking on any old shit out there.

 

[CanadaSaint]

Martin’s a dead man walking. Done by a long ball from the keeper, and a one touch layoff. The very things that this utter fuckwit detests.

[sydney_saint]

I miss the days when we would concede 9 

[Saint NL]

Arsenal might be thinking about that 9-0 record for next week 😳

[badgerx16]

When we concede the third we will be bottom of the table.

[DrSuess1979]

Midfield is non existent

You'd hope so but he's got his charity game at St. Mary's mid October. Makes things a little more complex.

[Suhari]

Players heads dropping.

This could get much worse.

[Sir Ralph]

Martin must go - obsessed with a style that isn’t working

[Saint Scott]

I have backed Martin to date, but we will not get beyond 10 points if he stays. Pull the trigger now and we may stand a chance of turning things around.

[CSA96]

30 minutes without a shot (on or off target) now

Yes let’s pay 2 managers and end up with the same result at the end of the season.
