Match Day Thread Saints vs Swansea, Saturday 18th Oct, 12:30

It currently feels rather, err, ambitious to be looking at the top two
Swansea are just above us though, so I agree we need to win this, get into that mid-table mosh-pit, and start to build a bit of confidence in Will and the team

Match Day. Welshing.

 

I think Glen can be a bit hit and miss sometimes with his writing, but this one is absolutely spot on for me. One of his best.

Yep I agree with most of that too. Still far too early to be wanting Still out imo and it's not all his fault either but 'underwhelming' is definitely the word of the season so far.

Let's hope that changes today.

 

Whilst I agree it's too early to want him out, if we don't see any progress today then you have to wonder if it will ever come.

I've never expected him to hit the ground running, but if he can't deliver at least 1 strong performance after 10 games, with one of the strongest squads in the league, then he is more than likely out of his depth.

I'd almost be happier if we played really well but got an unlucky draw, rather than another crap performance but get a lucky win like against Wrexham.

 

2-1 saints win. Its going to click somewhat today.

 

Didn’t realise Adam Idah plays for Swansea now. Doesn’t he always score against us or am I getting him mixed up with (many) other players?

 

I won't get a cob on because we'll get a pen and Adarma will cyg-net it.

 

A mute point.

 

Agreed mate. I said after the Hull game that I was more concerned with performances than results for time being but I guess what I'm really looking for now is some evidence of his adaptability we were told about.

If we spend the 3 games this week constantly recycling the ball wide and putting floaty crosses into the box to midgets then I think my 'unconvinced so far' might turn into 'unconvinced full stop'.

I do think we really need a win today though, regardless of how it comes. I'm pretty confident we will too though another draw really won't surprise me.

 

Dodos?

 

I definitely agree with the point about Still seeing the same things as me. It's probably the thing I like about him most - I know that we've both been watching the same game.

That might sound pretty, well, basic, but as we all know, we've had managers in the past who seem to have been watching a totally different match.

 

Yeah, he's not performative at all, which is good (and refreshing).

 

I have complete confidence that we might manage a win today. Equally confident that we might not.

 

I don’t mind if we don’t overwhelm them, I’d just like us to whelm.

 

Oh Jesus christ, this is going to be utterly cringe

 

Baby steps

 

Can't stand this ****e. Reckon I'll boo it.

 

Insurance bet placed btw.
