Welington just did somthing quite good!

 

We can ditch the "we march on" 

For

"sometimes we do something that's quite good".

Might as well have a raffle every week with the prize being a Saints fan gets to manage the team for one fixture. Probably do better.

Well if it is anything like the official FM Saints data I did, then it won't help. We are shit on that. It would have been a very difficult challenge had the game come out this season.

Do you want to see us in the championship under juric? Or think there's better options? We would be a hard sell to any manager of quality

No I don't particularly. Other clubs seem to uncover diamonds when we uncover duds. Despite people saying that we have a number of good Championship quality players, I think we need a complete clearout from top to bottom.....Manager and squad. There are very few, in any, player in the current squad that I any affinity with. I hate to use the "Scar Tissue" comment that a certain recent manager was fond of using, but I think that is justified in this case. We are stuck with SR, so I just hope that Dragan is ruthless enough and that he and  Spors see what needs doing and they do it even if it takes a couple of seasons in the Championship. We HAVE to get it right this time!

Wow!

Passes to nowhere. shots into the stands. Choosing to pass than get the ball into where there are bodies near their goal. Slow, tentative and with no cohesion. A lot of going through the motions, rather than with any real desire (although that's been the case for a long time since they were turned into tactics drones).

Such a lifeless performance, from such a poor side with such poor management and coaching.

You were right on the first one.

if he was any good he’d have been long gone - even when broken

I'm not inclined to defend ABK for the sake of defending him, but how does a player who "isn't any good" end up anywhere close to selection for Germany, let alone winning two caps?

I literally would be happy to never see Amy of these players again and have a completely new team for the championship! I think it's what we need

Of all the shitty performances this season, this is right up there. We look like conceding every time Brighton have the ball. And, of course, don't look like scoring in a million years. It truly is awful.

Another game with no midfield

They are routinely able to pass the ball from their keeper/defence, through the middle, to a player man marked by a defender.

 

Juric is dreadful 

Posted

At least twice their keeper has been able to pass the ball centrally half the length of the pitch uncontested to one of their players. THATS how open our midfield is - dogshit game management.

I think it gets glamourised because it's Germany. If you look at England for example, such great players as Zat Knight, Nicky Shorey and Paul Konchesky have two caps.... It doesn't mean all that much.

Brighton Comfortably one of the worst away teams at SMS this seasons. Still good enough to score against us of course.
 

Highlight I think is kameldeen skinning his man a few times (=+ £2M-£3M to his fee) and BK getting applauded for, erm, jogging onto the pitch pass g to someone same shirt as him (=+£1m to his fee). 
Expect Brighton to score second half cos they should be 3 up so we will need two to get a draw at least imo. Unlikely.

Dreadful performance so far. Non existent midfield. All at sea in defence and powderpuff up top. Our idea of attacking play is to pass it backwards and then lump it long…. Like I get it but why do it with archer on the pitch who absolutely cannot play this way. And onuachu on the bench 🤷🏼‍♂️ boring shite.

What’s most alarming is the lack of intensity. We are nowhere near Brighton most the time. It’s not intense death metal football, it’s more like morris dancing.

Get archer off for onachu

Defence looks like it’s going to leak like a sieve. I remembered Abk being quick & doesn’t seem like that at all anymore.

You’ve got to remember, he’s playing with Aribo as a CB partner. He’s hardly match fit, let alone in the EPL. The mismanagement of the player is a joke. I don’t blame him at all.
