    Oh I know, maybe I'm just overly caught up in the moment

    I agree with this. Not too surprised that we have signed another forward who has struggled to step up.

    He needs someone Iike Dave Merrington to train up.

    Looking forward to watching it again.

    First time in ages, have thought that.

    Do they have a good team these days? Don’t pay attention to international football.

    Well you’d think with the World Cup there 2026 you’d think they would try and field a decent team.
    Surely to be an international of any team you need to be half decent

    NJ's post match interview is actually very reasonable and calm.

    I do think he was put in an poor position by SR, they hired him based on data, effectively backing him to reproduce what he'd done until then. Then hung him out to dry when it wasn't right for Saints.

    He went on the very defensive and ended up having a go at the fans etc hence the backlash.


    But I agree with other sentiments above; he wasn't right for us and he'll always get flack (fairly good natured) for the way it went, but he's miles above Russell Martin for me in how I feel about him personally.

    Ballard scored six in his first three games, and hasn't scored since. We need to stop doing that one, we really do. Neither are good enough.

    Ahh didn’t realise that in fairness! He was prolific for youth teams and do think he’ll have a great pro career regardless

    He's a decent enough player around the L1 level, but no more than that. It's like harking back to Onuachu because he's top scorer in Turkey.

    Adarma will get more than both of them if we continue to play in a way that plays to his strengths.

    Yep and if we get promoted we need to ditch him immediately, like basically the entire squad
