ally_uk Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Well, you have to hand it to Sports Republic—they’ve managed to appoint a coach as bad as, if not worse than, Martin and Jones combined... You really can’t make this up, can you? I’d seen enough of him five games ago. Baffling squad selections, a stubborn refusal to start strikers, in must win games… what an absolute twonk. 🤡 International break now—time to send him packing. Stick Rusk and Lallana in for the rest of the season, at least build some cohesion, and make sure we don’t touch that Derby record. 12
sambosa75 Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago This cunt has got to go. Wolves at home and he’s playing 5 at the back with no recognised striker up top. Clueless. Kudos to SR, another gem of a hire 👌🏻 13
woodsaint1 Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago We can all accept that the players are not good enough. The likes of ABK, Stephens, Manning, Sugawara, Downes, Smallbone, Sulemana, Onuachu and Archer are not PL level. Never mind the squad filler outside that. We're also placing so much emphasis on young, inexperienced players like Dibling, Fernandes and Les. Thats not Juric's fault. But I thought this manager would make us more solid and hard to beat. Its been the opposite - we're so easy to play against, we look so disorganised, he's tried employing man-marking for god sake. Its been a disaster and if hes still here by Monday then you wonder if SR are just taking the piss out of the fans 4
AlexLaw76 Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago (edited) To think, Juric has been on the SR radar for some time Incredible Edited 14 hours ago by AlexLaw76 2 2
S-Clarke Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago (edited) How do they keep picking terrible managers? Every club gets a manager bounce, no matter how bad they are, but we keep appointing people who can't even give us that. I appreciate that he's walked into a shit show and I do feel sorry for him in some ways, but some of this damage is self inflicted and isn't needed. - 3 CB's, we cannot play it - No strikers when we don't score goals - CM's at CB, and LB's in midfield. He doesn't need to make it more complicated than it already is, this situation called for simplicity with the incredibly limited players we have, not more nonsense. Edited 14 hours ago by S-Clarke 7
AlexLaw76 Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago It really would not surprise me one bit if Sports Republic backed Juric for next season 2 2
beatlesaint Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago The fact Fernandes wasn’t injured and the manager wanted more from him is the end for me. Wanted more from him? What about the rest of them ffs? 8

West end Saints Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago (edited) I get the different views on Martin but I liked him, and felt he was naive this season, played some decent football but wasn't good enough for this level. At the spurs game it was clear he had to go. Juric is worse. I'm sure we would still be bottom but I'm convinced Martin would have beaten the Derby points target. Juric won't. The players are not good enough. I would need convincing that any of our team would be a starter at any other team. Fernandes maybe, KWP possibly another bottom 6 side, Ramsdale. The others not close. There has been a lack of ability, effort and organisation. Juric has sucked any hope or enthusiasm out of the club. Pointless keeping him, no one would do worse. Any other coach at the club, Lallana, Stephens, I don't care but what is the point of Juric? If there was any doubt his treatment of Fernandes today was disgraceful. The only player who has looked interested, or had the ability or made an effort this season. Probably the only player every fan wants to stay. The only midfielder who has looked close to prem level this season. Taking him off at half time. Then after the game saying you didn't like how he played when the rest were shit. Currently put him level alongside Jones as someone I want to forget was ever anything to do with this club. Edited 13 hours ago by West end Saints 13

Its been a disaster and if hes still here by Monday then you wonder if SR are just taking the piss out of the fans I don't disagree but we have won what 9 games in 80 or so in the PL across two seasons. This goes way deeper than Juric. He's just the latest poor sod to be the manager. The entire club is a mess and does anyone really think the next decisions made by SR will be any better ? I still can't believe the club sat down at the start of this season and thought a forward line of Archer, BBD, AA and Tall Paul was good enough to keep us up. I don't underhand Juric not playing a striker today but look what he had to choose from ? The owners have no feel for how to a run a successful PL football club and either need to appoint someone who does or sell the club All that said we have now had two seasons in a row where all the promoted clubs have gone straight back down so it's becoming very difficult even if you have competent owners. Obviously we have stank the place out but this PL season has been the most dull I can remember 5
saintwbu Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago Are people still telling themselves it’s better than it was before? 😆 first shot on target at 60 minutes, playing against another poor side. Awful football, awful selections, statistically worse than Jones, Selles and Russell Martin - takes some doing that. 1

The sides we have put out this season have been way below PL standard, hence we have only 9 points. Confidence is shot as well so it's a pretty toxic mix. Next season we have back the likes of Edozie, Bazanu and Charles. The latter deserves a chance, but the first two are symptomatic of the poor recruitment that has got us into this position and should be sold ( if anyone is interested) 1
SaintLondon Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago The ultimate Saints move: sack Juric, hand it to Rusk till season’s end, he scrapes a draw and a win, and suddenly - Rohl’s pre-contract is binned, and Rusk gets the job full-time.

saintstowin Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Well we had 3 the last time we went down. I think we're near enough the end that anyone could do as well as Juric. If we have coaches at the club to see us across the miserable finish line just do it. Juric might not have known quite how bad we were. But he knew the challenge and sadly has not been up to it. And like others feel, it's his making it even harder with odd decisions and not learning from mistakes that means it's reached a point of time to go. 1

The starting line up was bizarre. No attackers, two right backs, a back five. Or was it six? Substituting Fernandes. And I was bloody cold. I can’t really find a way to blame Juric for that but I’m still looking. 7
CSA96 Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago I despised Jones more because he was just such a reprehensible, responsibility-shirking arsehole of a bloke. But Juric is right up there with the worst we've had. The only praise I've got for him is that he is a straight shooter in interviews - there is no other redeeming quality to the guy
hypochondriac Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Seems like a nice guy but put our reserve bloke in charge for the last few to get the three points we need to avoid utter embarrassment. 4

Pamplemousse Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago I thought he'd be a good appointment but he's gone completely nuts. The tactics are bad enough but starting without a striker is just absolutely braindead. Look at how Arsenal's season has capitulated because all their strikers are injured. Wolves had two chances and guess what, their centre forward finished them both. And then post-match he criticises our best player, the one player above everyone who has put a shift in for every game. Fuck off Juric, you're useless. 3
