Match Day Thread Saturday 22nd February 2025, St Mary's Stadium, Southampton v Brighton, 3pm

Their track record shows unequivocally that they are appalling at recruiting managers and players. Why are you so confident that it will all be OK in the summer? How many more chances will you give them?

 

Smallbone trying to make it 4

 

Thank christ I can watch the rugby in a minute!

 

You missed out several ‘reallys’.

 

Because the people who have the appalling record of recruiting managers and players aren’t recruiting our managers or players any longer.

 

How can Uncle Albert not get into this team? Looked good in his cameo.

 

TBF the one difference this time is Spors so for me, this next appointment is the last chance and if they (he) doesn't get that right I'm definitely joining your gang (as a cheerleader too!)

 

4-0

 

Ground emptying out, don’t blame them.
4-0

 

Fair point and very valid.

It’s still filed under the “wait and see” folder for me.

Since they took us on, we have got worse and worse. It doesn’t look good tbh.

 

Well if you don't recruit anyone (as per the Jan window) and keep the same ****e manager then it's not much different really us it?

Genuine question, what would it take for you to actually turn on SR?

 

Oh of course it’s wait and see, but Spors has a good record, so it at least makes sense.

 

I don't think this is an understatement but I truly believe that we are going to break Derby's point record. It's amazing but we're actually worse now than when we were under RM which is a colossal achievement from Juric ( who must surely go at the end of the season ? )

 

Eh? Why would you waste money in January or waste money sacking a manager when it’s going to make zero difference to this season. Spors only started this month anyway.

I’d turn on SR if they stop giving a ****, stop changing things that aren’t working, and stop spending money.

 

Trouble is leaving early doesn’t help me! Bus times etc!! We are toothless.

 

My main concern with Spors; will he have a free reign to do what he wants, or will he be working under parameters set by his overlords at SR?

It's all well and good saying there's new people in charge, bur he's still an employee of said clowns (who, lest we forget, are still part of SR)

 

Most likely. I personally don't care about points totals. I just want to see the players motivated and trying their hardest. Under this clown they are not. He's making things worse and needs to go before it's unfixable.

 

We do love a second half capitulation.

 

Gronbeak coming on. What's the point?
