Baird of the land Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Without onachu we have zero attacking presence. that disallowed spurs goal was a pathetic decision.

Every time I see an in-play photo of JB and THB they are rarely marking anyone and often just watching the scorer place it in the net. We're pretty poor all over the pitch but defensively were just embarrassingly bad. 4
benali-shorts Posted April 6 Posted April 6 They strike me as a particularly thick bunch of lads, even by footballer standards. 2

OttawaSaint Posted April 6 Posted April 6 1 minute ago, saints-til-i-die said: To say this is the worst moment in someone’s saints supporting history is a bit hysterical. We are in the Premier League. Other clubs would kill to be there. Smacks of total arrogance. What about clubs stuck in lower leagues like Sheffield Weds? Reading? Keep some perspective. This lot are rubbish but things could be worse as a club. We are financially sound with hope of improvement next year. It's my personal history so I can say what I like. I feel that I had more connection with all other Saints teams in those 45 years, even the relegated ones. I don't give a fuck about Sheff Wed, Boro, QPR etc. I personally feel this is my lowest ebb. That's not arrogant at all. I don't exprct success but I do demand a modicum of capability that they do indeed know what they are doing and put in the effort required. 6

AGreed - his minutes are the equivalent of playing 10 games this season - which would put him at 15 or so goals for the full season. In an utterly shit team 1

A completely new person making football decisions, so it is daft to right him off due to the decisions of others. Judge him on his own merits!

trousers Posted April 6 Posted April 6 (edited) 57 minutes ago, Matthew Le God said: Hardly controversial! We have a squad packed full of very good Championship players, who are completely out of depth in the Premier League. 20 minutes ago, Matthew Le God said: The squad will look very different. Johannes Spors has admitted he will be 'very, very busy' in the window. So are we keeping our current squad of "very good championship players" or replacing a lot of them...?

obelisk Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Nice to see Saints attacking for a bit but it might be a bit better if Dibling could take on his man or someone could try a shot or a cross. 1

Those two points you quoted of mine are not incompatible with each other. Quite a few of the best players will probably leave, opening up the need for replacements.

You just need some perspective. The relegation to league 1 was much worse. Did you have a break supporting them during that period out of interest?

Holmes_and_Watson Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Sule gets away from his man.... and the final ball is just what you'd expect. We have had more of the ball in their final third this half. But this is because Spurs have dropped off. Even then, we've not really caused too many issues for them, while being vulnerable on the counter.

You are reacting emotionally to another terrible performance. It’s dreadful I agree. The season is a shambles. The effort levels are atrocious.

Baird of the land Posted April 6 Posted April 6 What pathetic subs. Why is onachu even on the bench if he doesn’t come on when we are showing zero attacking threat 2
OttawaSaint Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Spurs must be really bad if this is all they have vs our shower.
Saint Fan CaM Posted April 6 Posted April 6 We’re saved…Smallbone on. Ah, actually, that means we’re giving up midfield.
trousers Posted April 6 Posted April 6 2 minutes ago, trousers said: Indeed, but he can still turn out to be crap whilst being "not worse" than the previous clowns The bottom line is that there's no certainty that our squad next season will be as competitive as last season. (More likely than less likely, yes, but not certain)

AlexLaw76 Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Feel sorry for Fernandes. Great player on the making. Great ball in for the free kick, no one close to it at all
