As bad as we've been the reaction in here has been embarrassing. Yes we've been dreadful, yes we lack quality, yes we look a favourite to go down. But the new manager hasn't even had three ****ing matches yet and people wanna write him off already? It's particularly laughable to see people doing it who gave other posters **** for not giving Ralph enough time (after 3 years on the job). Slagging the manager off in first home league game and booing team off is beyond pathetic and frankly we don't deserve any success. Come on Saints ffs.
I'm gutted that for the first time in years I would agree with @LincolnSaint during a match, he doesn't post!
I don’t think SR are necessarily ‘cheap’ though. In fact, I don’t think they are. But I do think there’s potentially an arrogance here.
Without Lavia we just look vulnerable. Crazy given his age. Never understand Stu not starting. Diallo so bad. Hating the aimless long balls with an isolated Che. what's the point.
Yeah it was an underwhelming appointment for sure though I understand the reasons we made it (even if I disagree). He certainly ain't gonna succeed if the fans don't get behind him though.
Lyanco. I can’t remember what it was called, but in the early computer, football games, there was one where a player would just take off and run in a random direction, often away from the ball. Lyanco reminds me of that game. Absolutely no positional discipline.
One goal for us will change things I think. BHA are not that good, we're making them look good. But there needs to be a superb turn round to get this game back.
Problem was that the honeymoon period was for six weeks whilst no games were played. We had our new manager bounce on a training camp in Spain
Jones needs to hit the ground running, and so far we've had a **** win against a league one team and a diabolical half of PL football. The signs really aren't too promising, considering most fans are underwhelmed as it is.
I’m not saying he’s the problem either, but in the 6 weeks or so that he has had the players’ undivided attention, they are completely uncoordinated. Playing like strangers.
Want to like this comment. I just can’t for the life of me understand how a decent manager watches videos of all our players, and then picks Lyanco over ABK, Djenepo over Stuie, Diallo over anyone, and so on. I fully expect Jones to make mistakes. It’s how he reacts to them is how I will judge him. If he sticks with the same players, I give up.
But he needs to give the fans something positive as well. Its almost he sat down and thought how do I really piss off the fans from day one. Buzarre
