I have just noticed valery is in too lol. We really do have a dreadful squad. At least McCarthy is back but no doubt only because its the cup
People are worried about the midfield, when our back four is Valery Stephens Bednarek Danso. F*ck me that is gonna get ripped apart.
Admittedly not no, especially with Smallbone injuree. Shows we shouldn't have let Reed or Lemina go without a replacement.
So funny seeing people complain at Ralph's selections each week... If you have a 23 man squad that (we can all agree) mainly consists of sh*te, when you pick 18 of them for a matchday - most of them will be, that's right you guessed it, SH*TE!
Not so much Ralph's selection, more an insight on our recruitment policy that he has so little options.
I've moaned a fair bit over the last few days, but come on, give that selection a chance. I'm actually happy with most of that. Some lads playing for the futures right there. This will not be like Friday, no matter how formidable Citys line up is. Come On Saints.......
Its the same f*cking squad he inherited last season plus additions. We were the 7th best team in the country from Dec to May.
My main gripe is the lack of midfield options ... letting Reed and Lemina go with no replacement is crazy.
Looking at our lineup, I'll say we put on a surprisingly decent show and lose 3-0. Like, we're going to get beaten soundly, but actually a little less badly than people would have expected even if we weren't coming off a 9-0 loss.
As far as I'm concerned, it is impossible for tonight to be any worse than Friday so I'm completely relaxed about the game.
Most people would have said losing 9-0 at home to Leicester was impossible. So maybe we should avoid tempting fate.
