Match Day Thread Brentford vs Southampton 15:00 Saturday 4th February

[West Kent Saint]

It is too late imo, the man for the job has gone to a direct rival and had an instant impact. I don’t know of anyone out there with the experience to fix this now. Time to start planning for the Championship.

Dyche wasn’t coming to us I’d doubt.

 

[Tupac]

Bring back Poortvliet, Wotte, Wigley, Hughes, Pellegrino…. Just anyone

 

[Saintjoey]

So so envious of Dyche

 

[StJabbo1]

Oh Mr Jones
Oh what have we seen
You're a **** football manager
With a **** football team.

 

[Onionman]

Onuachu and Sulemana not warming up with the other subs at HT. Desperate double roll of the dice incoming…

Or in years to come...

It was a genius double substitution that caused the well-remembered "Miracle of the Community Stadium" when Saints went in at half time 2-0 down and came out to win 6-2 after a hat trick each from two players making their debuts for the club.

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

4-4-2 now. Onuachu and Adams up too, Sulemana and Edozie wide. JWP and Lavia central.

 

[Saintjoey]

If they’re ready and good enough to come on at half time, wtf wouldn’t you start them?

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Here’s the Nigerian Haaland!

And Kamaldeen too!

 

[Schad]

Well, we're going for it, where it is a more closely contested loss.

 

[garysfc]

Diallo, Ely, bednarek, Nathan Jones

****ing useless. Nowhere near premier league level.

Brentford are a good side but we are making them look like prime Barcelona as usual. We aren’t even in the game.

Absolutely & sorry but you can add AA in there as well.

It’s not desperate, it’s bloody common sense! 45 mins too late!

 

[Gregm1988]

Exactly what I would have asked

 

[Osvaldorama]

If they’re ready and good enough to come on at half time, wtf wouldn’t you start them?

Because Jones the enlightened one clearly sees something in Ely that no one else in world football sees

 

[LincolnSaint]

I'd rather we completely capitulate here and lose 4 or 5-0 then put in a shift and lose 2-1. SR might take action then.

They won't. The arrogant ****s will caress their computer lovingly while telling each other reassuring things.

On what single ****ing concept did they think Jones had the answers. ****ing outrageous appointment

 

[Schad]

It's too cold outside to do anything, and we're down two. If ever there was a time for noon time gin, this is it.

 

[Shandy_top_89]

Oh Nathan Jones, you’ve been here too long.

 

[Osvaldorama]

Again, will give him some credit. Taken off the worst performers. But it was so obvious that they would be

Sorry, I'm not giving him any credit. If you consistently start with inexplicable lineups, consistently go behind, and then take off the inexplicable parts of the lineup when you're a goal or two down, that really isn't a mark in your favour.

 

[timatoketchup]

I'm sure we will be hard to score against in the 2nd half though.

 

[Osvaldorama]

We had a chance!
