Was mental spending so much of our budget on a player that wasn't proven at this level who performs a role that could be done by so many others. 

Give it a rest - everyone thought he was our best player last season.

This is the most ridiculous hindsight 20/20 post I've ever seen.

I said it in the summer so accuse me of something else. 

He was our best player last season. Armstrong was our top scorer, didn't think he should have stayed either.

Manning doesn’t seem to know if he’s a CB or LB…just making a hash of it all.

[obelisk]

Dibling getting some rough treatment.

Doesn’t know whether he’s having a shit or a haircut

They are bound to target the only two genuine footballers we have - Dibling and Fernandes. Lallana is the third when fit.

I was concerned in the summer, a lot of money to spend on 25 year old who had played more in league 1 than prem. Wasn't convinced he was a good signing - at that price - and even less convinced after what I have seen so far, one of poorest players this season

Adam Armstrong is having a blinder I see.

He's our only outlet, they'll take a couple of yellows to get him out of the game.

He needs a fit Sulemana or SAA to give them something else to worry about

Don't think he's touched the ball once.

He isn't alone. Martin has clearly failed to give them any kind of structure at the back. Only saving grace is we're so bad and essentially harmless that we're lowering Brighton's standards 🤣😂

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Downes is a second yellow waiting to happen

[Saint86]

Why did we rush that free kick by our own corner flag when we were under pressure. That is just demented. It basically led straight to that wellbeck header...

Five at the back and Welbeck gets a free header. What’s the fucking point?

[whelk]

What’s Alan Smith on about, “don’t try and be too clever”?

[Lighthouse]

Christ, how long was Welbeck unmarked then?!

Russ won’t sub his buddy though - and the midfield already has all the bite of a field of 🐑. Seeing Lesley trap it 15 yards would be a laugh though.

Fair enough if you did - very prescient.

[Saint_clark]

Blimey this commentary team have got a lot of chemistry and snappy repartee.

[Saint86]

God help us if we actually score. Brighton will wake up and actually slaughter us 😂

Our defenders are soooo poor. Marking is a basic defensive trait that our players don't seem to have.

No worries, we’ll tell him to stand near Brighton's penalty spot, facing the goal and try to control it.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Another shit free kick from Manning - straight to the keeper.

Exactly this

[Gloucester Saint]

Can’t believe they have held out for nearly 30 minutes. No chance of pulling off an upset over 90 minutes.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Ah well

[Disco Stu]

Lasted longer than I thought we would.

[Saint Fan CaM]

1-0. Defensive switch off.

[saintant]

Wakey wakey!!!!!

[Farmer Saint]

Poor defending again.

Our defenders are so fucking rubbish. This is not coaching. This is players not doing their jobs properly.

Ooooo what a surprise

That did the trick 😂

[obelisk]

Well that was certainly coming for quite a while. Defending appalling.

[LGTL]

Surprised it’s taken this long. Fucking pathetic

[Saint_clark]

Stephens in the middle doing nothing for anyone.

[SouSaint]

Pathetic defending. Stephens and THB are wank. 

[saintant]

Could that be the flood gates opening?

[Saint86]

5 defenders, and we allow the Japanese winger to drift in and score an unmarked stooping header. 

 

Martin needs to go. This is beyond shocking.

[Andy Hill]

Thank God we have 4 pts - not many more will be incoming.

[Wade Garrett]

Stephens should have got his head on that.

A defensive switch off....! Surely not, I'm very, very surprised to hear that.

Nice virtue-signalling armband though.

[Lighthouse]

Sugawara is the most brainless, gormless, clueless defender we’ve had since Olivier Bernard.

[adrian lord]

What do the Board think will be the result of keeping Martin?

No other manager would pick Stephens.  So it’s on Martin.

Wankers…. Wank line up….. wanker of a manager
