Embarrassing

Why no zero option?

Does putting your shirt on correctly count for one point ?

The End

Worst game of the season

silverspringsaint added 17:55 - Jan 4

Embarrassing indeed! Other than perhaps Ramsdale and Dibling, no one showed up for work today. Very worrying - the lack of on field leadership and any new manager bounce. Getting worried now that we will “beat” that Derby Co. record …

As I suspected, it's becoming evident that while Martin was not the solution, he wasn't the main problem

WestSussexSaint added 18:24 - Jan 4

Shambles - waste if time and money watching that dross today.

YosemiteSaint added 18:43 - Jan 4

We don't have the personnel to compete in the EPL, and today it was made worse by the obviousness of our being in between two managerial systems. We didn't look like much of anything—save for cannon fodder.

Afraid this is it as far as staying up as we can't score and barely can defend, as for new signings who would want to be associated with us at this point.

Brentford won at a canter and didn't even need to get out of 2nd gear.
Faster, Stronger, Better Set Up, Better O

Brentford won at a canter and didn't even need to get out of 2nd gear.
Faster, Stronger, Better Set Up, Better Organised and wanted it more.

We didn't turn up for the 1st half hour, but still managed to gift them the opener with a sloppy pass and after that it was just a question of how many.

Piss poor defending throughout and nothing up front. My daughter said she could have played in goal for Brentford today and kept a clean sheet.

Sugawara off the bench to gift the opposition a goal once again FFS.

Don't know where we go from here, especially when you hear THB telling the Solent listeners that we were set up to win the game today !!

I keep thinking it can't get worse but it does! Really embarrassing today. A nearly six hour round trip and a journey home in the snow for an awful performance.

SanMarco added 23:36 - Jan 4

Embarrassing seems to be the word for the day and I can't better it for a description of that performance.

Much has been said about RM but today proves that he isn't the only culprit for this fiasco of a season. Our transfer dealings in the summer were abysmal - the ownership seems to have thought that we could survive with a second division quality squad. Until we have owners who are less clueless I would suggest we might as well stay in the second division.

The only thing we are now playing for is to avoid Derby's record and most of the players don't seem bothered about that.

Bowlercow added 06:33 - Jan 6

Well that game showed us why big Les,Onuachu Sulemana etc were not selected regularly by Martin Not one Saints player came out of it with any credit
As for our tactics.Can anyone tell me what formation we played or what plan A or B was
Ivan Juric I have found out is Italian for Nathan Jones At least under RM you could see the we were trying to play Now we just play get the ball away from me football with no interest as to where it goes or to who
