Have we tried our "5th best" keeper yet?

No. He's on loan to Goztepe.

[Saint NL]

What are we doing at the back? Thee are not the conditions to be bouncing balls back to the keeper 😂

So has McCarthy.

Not in the last game

[Greedyfly]

Archer is utterly toss as expected.

Both Blackmore and House are incredibly weak on Martin

11th.

 

Clown show

11th in 14.5 games. But the risk is worth it because we've scored *checks notes* zero goals from this tactic...

Trying to be the new John Stones he is not

No one will see that nuance, we will have him next season

Is that our 10th error leading to a goal this season?

Yes, and 3 errors leading to shots in this match.

Shambles 

Now for the complete collapse

Pass pass give it away

Panic panic panic

Enjoy it lads 

But but but...the process!!!

It's not possible to be brave playing any other way.

Makes it 33 chances directly from errors.

Tune in again next week for the next installment of the Rusty show!

It's only matter of time before we gift them another goal

Not much point having dedicated reporters with no access.....

[Mr X]

Hope our away fans make their feelings known today 🙏

Hopefully if we’re going to hold records they need to be virtually impossible to break

I like Adam but it's obvious that he's wary of rubbing Martin up the wrong way given the way he tiptoes around asking directly critical questions.

But they offer little critique!

which is remarkable given how terrible we are

[OttawaSaint]

I'm bored.

[whelk]

[chownie20]

Same bloody story. Better team, waste chances,  gift the opposition a goal. Becoming unbelievable.

he got quite prickly with him a few times last season when we were doing well so god knows what he’d be like now he has broken a premier league record already

True, but the shit they ask is just a waste of time

[CanadaSaint]

It doesn’t help that we don’t have a solid left side CB on the books. Oh, wait … we do but he’s got an attitude issue that’s apparently a much bigger problem than a ball-watcher who gets two red cards in twelve games.

That's more than my 6-a-side team and we're all 50+.

[die Mannyschaft]

Can Saints make the record of goals conceded by us passing, setting up the opposition to score. 9 goals setup so far and nearly another 3. Is there a stat for this?

[Mr X]

How is Martin's position not untenable??? it beggars belief!..... It buggers belief! 

[Sheaf Saint]

That was too easy for Villa. Should have been two

He should be fired for gross misconduct.

It's clearly not about the football, must be about $$$.

i agree, but they are damned if they do, and damned if they don't...........

[Sheaf Saint]

Armstrong offside.

There's a surprise.

Best in Europe at creating goals

[washsaint]

Armstrong can never seem to stay onside.

From a birght, but non-threatening, start we now look comepletely bereft of ideas and talent.  Even Dibling is playing very poorly today

[OttawaSaint]

They gift us one but AArm just strolls back in an offside position. Brave!

To be fair, dibling should have released the ball slightly earlier

Already ticked that off the Saints bingo card when he was first way offside 15 minutes ago...

[OttawaSaint]

We don't allow goals...we GIFT goals!

It's taken Martin longer than usual to stifle the natural instinct of this player but he's got there in the end...

Definitely about 💰 💰 🤑 it's like some sick experiment and Martin's been given all the torture devices! The due diligence on SR must have been appalling

Come on TayTay tell us again how the tactics are working and that this is what the players want.

[Saint Matty 76]

Not sure what I did in a previous life to deserve to watch this Armstrong Archer partnership each week

[Saint NL]

Villa fans seem on par with Everton fans for booing
