SNSUN Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 It's possibly already too late for a new manager to save us but we need to give it a try. Maybe the players aren't good enough but with better coaching, tactics and selection I'd bloody love to see us try. Even if we win today that is my opinion. I still think with Fernandes, Ramsdale, Suga, KWP, THB, Dibling and Archer we have the makings of a decent side. They're just padded out with Championship standard players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 So Wolves player clatters Manning not allowing a quick throw in and he gets away without a yellow. If that’s not fucking awful reffing and bias I don’t know what is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is subjective and VAR shouldn’t have got involved as it’s not clear and obvious. Weak ref bowed to more experienced VAR sat near Heathrow.

Edmonton Saint Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 This passing for passing sake creates fuck all.

Pretty fair. We've been much the better team with the ball for most of this half. But... If you discount the disallowed goal (which was a very dubious VAR decision), then we've not had a shot on target despite our 73% possession.
