[OttawaSaint]

Can we have Rusty back please. 😆 

[Sunglasses Ron]

This could end up being truly horrible.

[HKsaint]

ABK injured?

JURIC OUT - bloody clown.  This 5 at the back with 3 full backs is disgraceful.

WTF is he hoping for?  Bring back Martin over this clown.

Hold on there fella. Let's not get ourselves too carried away.

No, he is on the bench

If Smallbone gets a yellow I’ll celebrate - it will mean he’s actually tried to put a fucking tackle in!

Then again, no.

Does any one know how to access the BBC Radio Solent commentary when you aren't in Hampshire? Tried BBC Sounds, Freeview 714 & 715 none of them work. 

Any help much appreciated - I have walls to paint and am masochistic enough to want to listen to the sounds of a hot knife through butter while I do it

You have to pay to listen online. It's about £5 a month. Most people will say that's a mugging but I find it easier to cope just listening only instead of watching it live sometimes.

We are so far short of the required level.

Juric is starting to become guilty of the same stubbornness Martin showed.

Rusk did better in his games than either Martin or Juric.

He's on the bench so you'd assume not. 

[Tanlee]

Our central 2 midfielders are so dynamic, we are safely in the league 1 playoffs with these 2 

[RedArmy]

I bet we aren’t this shit on FM.

[Patrick Bateman]

Useless cunts.

[Saint NL]

What are the lyrics to this song by the Bournemouth fans? 😂😂😂

Hes fucking useless. 
 

Sacking Martin was the right call but yet again they’ve replaced him with someone even fucking worse. 
 

I detest sports republic with every fibre of my being. Utter fucking pricks 

[adrian lord]

Sports Republic. 

[Jonnyboy]

KWP couldve done a better block there.

Give him the job for the rest of the season. They really played for him. 

[BotleySaint]

We had a great break there. Why is nobody willing to smash it?

[Saint NL]

That's the problem, right there.

We get a decent chance, it doesn't go in and everyone stops. Bournemouth easily bring the ball away....

Save the game before the match, and if you don't get the result you want reload and try again.

Bit mean, mate. I was only asking a question

[Sheaf Saint]

The Bournemouth fans are singing "You're fucking shit" and all I can do is agree with them.

This is where we are now. This is what the useless fuckers at SR have done to our club.

We are worst team in the league shit on FM.

[OttawaSaint]

I know we are limited, low confidence etc.

But this is truly dreadful. It's hard to imagine this team beating a non league team at the moment.

We’ll never know. Bloody decent of SI to omit this year’s game to spare us the pain of having to play as us.

[LGTL]

Dear o dear. Bournemouth. Fucking Bournemouth. Sports Republic should be utterly crucified. 

[aintforever]

That midfield with Tall Paul up front is just suicide.

Fucking clueless manager.

[Matthew Le God]

You will, cos I told you. Comfortably worst team in the league in the database.

[obelisk]

We look totally clueless.

[BotleySaint]

To be fair, they are 5th.

We'd likely lose anyway but it's the manner of the goals we concede and how we look wide open with every attack that's the problem.

[Saint_clark]

Onuachu works his ass off to win the ball, hold it up and lay it off under pressure from 3 players. 

Gets to Smallbone and he immediately boots it through to the Bournemouth defence. Fuck off. 

[SNSUN]

If we pick a manager for next season that plays 3 CBs I think I’ll do a dirty protest outside the ground.

Cos Russell trained them not to for so long that they don't even know it's an option.

I bet Russ is laughing his head off.....while Lucy noshes his head off.

[redkeith]

I don't mind the 3 centre backs so much. 

It is playing without a defensive midfield that does my head. It only works in a fantasy football team, not on actual grass.

We may as well go W M formation , it is that outdated.

More than that, but not enough to stay up as the Championship level players pull it down overall.

1 Ramsdale

2 Walker-Peters

3 Welington

4 Bednarek

5 Fernandes

6 Sulemana

Plus on the bench

7 Bella-Kotchap

8 Gronbaek

9 Dibling

 

Imagine actually believing that 🤣

The formation isn't the issue. The issue is player quality for the level we are playing. 3 CBs would be fine in the Championship. 

[ally_uk]

Should of got Moyes.... We need a experienced head to steady the ship.

What a shit show! 

Get this Harry Potter looking Twonk out!

Don't be daft. Moyes would never come to a team bottom and adrift.

[aintforever]

What’s the fucking point in Gronbaek if he’s not as good as Smallbone?

[RedArmy]

You will, cos I told you.

Have you? Must have missed that one. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Have to say, I’ve been ok with Juric - let’s face it, he came here knowing it was already a shit show. But his selections and persistence with five at the back are just so sub-standard that you have to question his competence for next season whether he gets new players or not.

Moyes did not want a relegation battle. He joined Everton and overlooked that due to his history with them.

Stream died. I'll just have to use my imagination for the spirited comeback.

Just stop, you’re embarrassing yourself.
