Just got out the sea from body boarding. Not a great score and two shots out of 17 on target. Will read the thread this evening. But it seems like same old Saints. I maybe doing a miss service, but having seen the Wrexham game and Northampton games, losing to Stoke was a strong possibilty
If informed judgement made him pick that initial lineup then I'm still baffled and concerned. Hope you have a good holiday
Yeah, I am fully on the ‘if he plays 5 at the back again he might actually be a bad coach’ wagon now.
Well that's what you deserve when you can't finish your dinner. Far too shaky in defence to get away with missing chances like that.
Pretty much what I feared based on the first 3 games. As soon as we came up against a competent attacking team we will be put to bed. I’m so ****ing fed up of watching teams slice through us in 3 passes while we **** around with 50 passes with the pentetration of a softcore porn film. We aren’t relying on good football we are relying on overloading the box and crosses and that’s a whopping red flag.
Still has said that we don't have the wingers/attacking midfielders to play his preferred formation yet, which I imagine won't change until after the window is shut.
But we don’t have the players to play 5 at the back as we give all the initiative away. I am at the point where I would rather some square pegs in round holes in a better system.
Not confident about our purchasing forwards. Downs, Stewart, Archer are our recent buys. Very lightweight.
