I get the gap is big, but it's not this big - which is why I can't see things being too different in a lower league with this bunch. Mentally most of them will never recover. Expand Maybe. I prefer to worry about that in a few months time. It's bad enough watching this shit now without imaging how much worse it will be next season. Forest are decent. That's being overlooked. I didnt feel five at the back was thew answer today. Juric is too rigid to that formation. 2

It’s the most pathetic thing in premiership football, someone needs to make a YouTube montage of it. Expand Yes... He is doing that nonstop. . He actually keeps moving forward, but his strides go to 1/10th the length. I recall seeing him do it in the first game he played for us, and my heart just sunk. 4 managers later and he is still doing it. So I thought the problem was with me. 1

Lord Duckhunter Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Archer is fucking soft as shite as well. He needs to man up. 1
Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted January 19 Posted January 19 In somewhat good news, our xG (a whopping 0.23) is only 0.05 behind Forest and we are dominating the possession stats despite the 3 goal deficit. Coyr.
Saint NL Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Even in our worst days under Martin, the players weren't as stroppy as this. They look completely fed up
Saint Fan CaM Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Honestly, Armstrong is so far from looking like a Prem player it’s unreal. 5

Even last season they were shown up in moments, heads dropping and wilting when the going gets tough. Their somewhat limited quality may squeaked them over the line last season, but you need more than that at PL level. I'd be inclined to start completely afresh and get as much $$ as we can for every single one of these players in the summer. They've shown they're all incapable at this level, some have had multiple stabs at it, so there is no point in keeping them around if our ambition is to somehow establish in the PL. 2

Make no mistake though, he also is in no way a Premier League quality player. Expand He's been obviously not good enough for the Prem since day one and I have said as much. Too slow in body and mind. Technically limited. Not dominant in the air or on the ground. He tries hard, but Championship level is about right for him. Defenders that have to chuck themselves to the floor all the time are doing so because they cant keep up.

But we didn't and are now heading back to a league where he is prolific. So it makes sense to keep him for a promotion campaign and then sell him if that is achieved as he is out of his depth in the PL.

Why sell a player capable of scoring 24 Championship goals when you are going to be playing in the Championship? The time to sell him is not this season, it is after any potential future promotion. Expand Fuck that. This lot have embarrassed us enough and don’t deserve to wear the badge of this great club, in any league. Mass clear out in the summer and rebuild. 1

Saint Fan CaM Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Big Les is putting in a better display than Downes already. KWP in the book. Manning on…lovely.
badgerx16 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Is this going to be another game in which we have zero shots on target ? The spirit of Russell Martin still haunts the club.

They are being held to account now and they don’t like it one bit.
