Which would you rather have happen to day? - a tough, battling 2-1 win, with no bad defensive error... and a nice goal that comes from playing Russball style from the back - evidence that seems strong enough for RM to stay in the job for the coming weeks. - a crushing 3-0 loss with at least one goal coming from defensive error at the back, and the final straw for RM so that he's sacked in the morning? Reply 👍for the first and 👎 to the second. I'm v curious to know. Or, what's more likely, a crushing 3-0 loss and RM to stay in job for the coming weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downs has been very average but comes straight back in. This is one of the problems with RM he sticks with his favs and if others dare have a good game they are instantly dropped! Yep, been one of the few who has actually been consistently decent, and also one of the few who can actually play the "system"* reasonably effectively, receiving the ball in tight spaces and playing on the half-turn. So let's drop him. (* By which I mean "guaranteed defeat process") 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintant Posted Saturday at 14:38 Share Posted Saturday at 14:38 Not sure I actually care about today's result. Expecting another defeat but they're hurting less and less as I seem to be building up a sort of immune system brought on by continually losing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling about it the way one might feel about an impending colonic irrigation appointment. Not expecting to enjoy it in any way, but morbidly curious to see just how awful what gets produced will be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(* By which I mean "guaranteed defeat process") Because Russell is unable to set up a team to be solid his default position is to pack the side with defenders as though this will somehow magically solve the problem. It doesn't and it means players like Aribo get left out because of the extra defenders so not only are we still poor at keeping goals out but we also sacrifice a bit of creativity. It's utter madness but it carries on week after week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced he's so vain that he will only try something that's not being tried just in case it works so he gets the plaudits. It's all, about him, it's never been about Saints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
