    Worst I've seen us play since the last time we played Spurs.

    Nice to see the gutless wonders are back after a brief break in midweek.

    Players don't look f*cking bothered in the slightest. Usually defend them but it is so clear today they aren't trying.

    Instead of tackling, just giving needless fouls. Lazy passes to nowhere. Archer doesn't press, make runs. Must have touched it three times all half.

    Sulemana has forgotten how to run and doesnt even bother to try to take on a player. Archer is just a shadow.

    SR’s inspired decision to spend the forward budget on two players from the worst side in the PL last season really worked a treat didn’t it.

    Top recruitment professionals at our club.

    When you buy the front line from a team that was relegated the season before. What do you expect?


    As Einstein once said.
    A sign of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result

    I can forgive them on BBD. It was a relatively low transfer fee and he did alright for a few months in the PL last season. (It just turned out to be a disaster.)

    But I never understood signing Archer. Always seemed a bad move.

    Had very low expectations but that first 40 minutes was disgusting.

    After a positive performance against a team under pressure we change shape, play too deep and passively and have no way of holding the ball up.

    I liked it at the time, not knowing much about him. But he absolutely looks like a finisher who doesn’t do anything else, which is never going to work in a **** side as nobody is going to create anything for him with any regularity

    I’d expect him to score 15+ if he is here next year when we are a more dominant side, but yeah not the option for this season

    Pathetic. I seriously don’t give a **** if I never see any of these players in a saints shirt again. Don’t track runners, weak in all challenges, basically, none of them give a ****.
    And there is no way I can watch this **** next season if Juric stays in charge.

    And as I live very near Derby I am being constantly reminded about it by Derby fans. It means a lot to them!

    We're making Spuds look like Real Madrid, god knows what they work they do defensively on the training pitch, absolutely shambolic display.

    Hopefully the silver lining of getting our fate sealed now is that Juric can be sacked before training on Tuesday and Simon Rusk getting seven free hits in an attempt to find 2pts
