Not so sure mate, we always used to be the fall guys, always come unstuck against someone on a **** run, I don't however think we will lose, I've gone for a mistake ridden 3-3

 

[Spanish]

Anyway, good luck for the season, hope you guys can turn it around after Tuesday and get back up to where you belong, along with us!!

None of us know much about your team mate. What can we expect?

Where are you strongest/weakest?

I would say we are pretty decent all over, no real weakness, Morsy and Luongo in the center are a really decent, strong pairing, Burns and Broadhead out wide will cause you problems. Chaplin is a real goal threat and Hirst will harass your center backs all game. If we have any weakness I would say it's at right back and I'm still not sold on our backup keeper Hladky!!
You can expect us to play out from the back and we tend to take risks doing so but seem very confident and good at it. The biggest thing tho is our team spirit, it's fantastic and everyone is pulling in the same direction, if we go one or two down, we still think we can win, never know when we are beaten!!

Honestly I don’t even remember what team spirit looks like

Oh please. Before the last 2 games we showed plenty. Hence why we kept scoring late goals.

We haven’t kept a clean sheet since March and not won by more than one goal in 18 months. Plus we’ve sold everyone with a pulse. If that’s a club with good team spirit; you must have. a very different definition to me.

One of our huge problems is a massive lack of team spirit. Hopefully it grows

Sounds good mate, I'm bloody jealous.

Exactly. If we're so full of team spirit then why can't I think of even one player that would make a suitable captain? Lol

Team spirit isn't leadership. Two different things. I'm sorry, but people are losing their **** after 2 bad games. It's a bit pathetic really. Rewind a few weeks and people were thrilled about 10 points from 4 games. And all of a sudden people are predicting getting dicked at home to ****ing Ipswich? People need to get a grip.

I think that's a tad disrespectful to Ipswich tbh. They've won 5/6 matches and therefore are no mugs - remind me of us in 11/12.

If we don't play a DM again I think there's a very good chance we could lose.

I'm not saying they are. But to predict a 5-0 loss at home to Ipswich is absurd.

We haven’t beaten one team predicted to do well. Ipswich are really strong. We have real issues defending. We don’t track back. We seem to fold easily in games.

I don’t understand how you can respond like this to perfectly legitimate opinions.

Because it's a simple fix. Martin will, I think, see sense and play players in their proper positions. We still have a squad that should be finishing top 6, if not top 2. People are over-reacting.

Not on recent form it's not. Hope not of course.

You're right it is a simple fix, which makes you wonder why he's still persisting with no DM despite it being an obvious problem in our second match.

I think this match will tell us a lot about Martin and how his time here will go.

Played three good teams, conceded 4 goals, 5 goals, 4 goals.

Spirit and leadership are related, course they are. We need leaders to instill team spirit. We don't have any. Our players don't even talk to each other. Remember that free kick in the first half against Leicester? Was in a good position to put a cross in, ball was rolled from one player to another but then neither knew who was supposed to cross it, they dallied, and then Leicester stole the ball for a counter. F*cking comical.

That's just one example. Lost count how many times our players didn't call for the ball, and passes got misplaced etc.

Bury your head in the sand by all means Tom, but don't be disrespectful to the opposition, just so you can occasionally gloat 'I told you so' when we win.

Your positivity about saints at times borders on delusion lol. All of last season you were saying we will be fine, Hasenhuttl is quality, Nathan Jones is quality etc etc.

It’s like you watch a different team to me, honestly

Plus it’s just arrogant. Ipswich are a good side

Well forgive me for thinking we should be beating Ipswich at home. How silly of me.

You were also the only person in the predictions league to predict we would beat Leicester at home ……..remind me, how did that work out?
