    The woman complaining about the ball position for the corner was the most entertaining part of that half

    I know the most important thing is obviously to get the 3 points. But if we can't even put in a half decent performance against a team as woeful as this Blackburn side then I have no confidence in us turning corner.

    There is no future with 5 at the back.

    Blackburn's safe standing section is pathetic. Covers about 200 seats. I mean, what's the point?

    So slow and lethargic. Really feels like Matsuki could be the one to inject a bit of unpredictability into our attack.

    That’s roughly the attendance of the home crowd though right?

    This is the running before walking mentality. Winning is literally all that matters today. Teams can look utterly different when confidence is fostered. Lets worry about performance once we have some wins under the belt

    The best thing which could happen here is that we go bang-bang early in the second half to take a 3-0 lead, and then give Downs a proper 30 minutes run out without any pressure to deliver.

    Alas, I'm not expecting us to do that.

    I do like an amble, often in 'Amble actually.

    Sounds like Blackburn are doing their best Saints impression up front.

    This is as bad as it gets, honestly.

    I think Still has to go.

    We are making one of the worst teams I’ve seen at this level look good

    That's the point. Playing like this, as we have all season, isn't getting us wins. We'll get the odd one because of the talent in the squad, but it will get us no where.

    A couple of wins against crap opposition aren't going to suddenly make this system work. It's dreadful.
