Thread | Ivan's first Press Conference.
at 15:51 23 Dec 2024
Just watched Ivan's first Press Conference & yes he does speak good English which helps us to at least understand him.
Despite being asked a few daft questions I think he handled it very well & my first impression is that he'll improve us, that is all we ask.

Thread | Looks like it's Carlos Corberan
at 15:25 19 Dec 2024
If the rumours are true then it looks like our new manager will be Carlos Corberan.
I personally don't know much about him apart from the fact that he's done well at WBA.
Apparently he's considering an offer that's on the table from us.
Let's get it done & look forward to some improvement from the Russell Martin era. |

Thread | Every Monday I expect to see the news that RM has sacked.
at 14:07 9 Dec 2024
For months now I have been expecting
( wanting) to see an announcement that RM has been sacked.
I am now convinced & resigned to the fact that SR have no intention of sacking him or replacing him.
This reinforces my opinion that SR have settled for relegation & are now preparing for another season in the Championship.
They can then benefit from the Parachute payment & sell off our best players to rake in a few more million in transfer fees.
I actually enjoyed our season in the Championship so am not to concerned about going down again.
But this just typifies the apathy that has been created by SR + RM over the last 12 months.

Thread | Destined to make history by being worst ever team in Premier Lge.
at 08:17 9 Dec 2024
Unless we improve dramatically then we will go down in history as the worst ever Premier Lge team.
Let's look at the facts.
1) we have the worst owners in the lge.
2) we have the worst Manager / Coach in the lge.
3) with Ramsdale out we have the worst goalkeepers in the lge.
4)we have the worst defence in the lge.
5) we have the worst midfield in the lge.
6) we have by far the worst attack in the lge.
Individually not all are the worst players in the lge but collectively as a team we are the worst.
The only thing going for the club at the moment is that us fans have stuck with them.
There's no way that we can be considered as the worst fans in the lge.
We deserve better from our club than we are getting right now. |

Thread | THB defending RM's insistence on playing Tippy Tappy out from the back.
at 09:45 6 Dec 2024
Taylor Harwood Bellis has gone public with comments saying that the style they are playing is what they the players want.
He backs RM's insistence on playing tippy tappy out from the back because as footballers that what they want.
Come off it THB , footballers want to win matches & this ridiculous method of possession football doesn't win matches for us (it might for some teams but not us).
If he is happy to continue losing matches & inevitably getting relegated then we're doomed.
Or is he just saying this to appease RM.

Thread | Slack Jack should get the sack.
at 20:32 4 Dec 2024
Disgraceful behaviour from Slack Jack.
Alright it wasn't a sending off offence, but what an idiotic thing to do.
He's not just useless he's stupid too.
2nd sending off in a couple of months he is not a good example & should immediately have the Captaincy taken away from him. |

Thread | No Tall Paul against Chelsea.
at 18:25 4 Dec 2024
Tall Paul not even on the bench tonight against Chelsea.
Perhaps the rumour that RM is not allowed to risk him getting injured because the club intend to sell him in January is correct.
That would confirm that SR prioritise profit over results.

Thread | Not every tackle is a foul ! ! ! .
at 14:43 30 Nov 2024
Football really has become a non contact sport.
Not every tackle or contact should be penalised as a foul.
The games gone soft.
So many stoppages during the games nowadays are ruining the enjoyment.
I think refs now are looking / expecting a foul when most times they are not.
It must be so frustrating now to be a Premier lge player ( albeit very well paid).
It's certainly painful for us fans to watch.

Thread | THB + FD +TD suspended for Chelsea + Bednarek injured.

After the bookings tonight Harwood Bellis + Downes + Dibling all suspended for next match against Chelsea.
Plus Bednarek + McCarthy injured.
Shall just give the points to Chelsea to avoid more injuries or suspensions.

Thread | We are being linked with signing new players.
at 09:40 28 Nov 2024
If you can believe all the gossip we are being linked with the signing of new players in the transfer window.
What is the point.
99% certain that we'll be assured of relegation by then & back in Championship next season.
Panic buys in January will not help us survive, the damage has already been done.
We've played 12 games so have 26 games left. We'd need to get 32 - 36 more points to avoid the drop. Mathematically needing nearly 1.1/2 points per game to survive .
Even those with the most vivid imagination can't see that happening.

Thread | Tall Paul's injury down to lack of game time.
at 11:58 25 Nov 2024
I thought Tall Paul was excellent & gave us a new different dimension to our game.
He looked totally committed, good attitude & held the ball up brilliantly.
He also showed parts to his game that were unexpected, the ability to get past defenders & cause problems.
What about the one mazy run he did after winning the ball.
His injury is down to his lack of game time.
He'd only played 63 minutes in total this season. You cannot expect any player to come into a game of this magnitude without the necessary preparation.
No amount of training prepares you for the pace & intensity of the Premier lge.
I blame RM, he's never given Tall Paul enough game time or opportunities to prove himself.
Tall Paul certainly made a massive statement yesterday & if fit he should start every game.
Hope his injury is not too serious, he deserves a chance. |

Thread | RM not very good at Maths either.
at 09:13 24 Nov 2024
Apparently RM has said that he is confident that his team can get a result against Liverpool & get themselves off the bottom of the lge.
Does he never look at the lge table, unless the FA feel sorry for us & give us 5 points in the very unlikely event of us beating Liverpool then we we are marooned at the bottom & will most likely be there for the rest of the season. [Post edited 24 Nov 9:14]

Thread | Such sad news about legendary Dave Watson
at 09:12 18 Nov 2024
Before the England game started yesterday they did a feature on Dave Watson who is now suffering Dementia.
How sad to see him as he is now, I'll always remember him as a giant in the game.
At the time he was probably the best centre back in the game.
We were lucky enough to see him play for us albeit at the end of his memorable career.
Best wishes Dave & thanks for the memories. |

Thread | Shea Charles captained his National side last night
at 12:31 16 Nov 2024
It would appear that Shea Charles is impressing in his loan spell at Sheff Wed.
It looks inevitable that we'll recall him in January ( assuming we have that option).
What's the chances of his goalkeeping brother who's also impressing for club & country joining him at St Mary's. |

Thread | This team is worse than than the one that got relegated 2 years ago.
at 11:43 10 Nov 2024
Individually we have a worse bunch of players now than when we got relegated 2 years ago.
The board have stated that they still support the Manager, how can they say that considering where we are in the lge & the insipid performances we are delivering.
If they genuinely believe in this Manager then we are in real trouble, if they stick with him we will end up in Division one. |

Thread | RM has made the comment we do not have enough wide men to provide service to Arc
at 12:02 8 Nov 2024
RM has recently stated that we do not have enough quality from our wide men to provide a decent service to Archer.
He's having to utilise Manning in that role.
Another example of very poor selection of players brought in.
We signed both Cornet & Diaz who neither are genuinely wide players.
We also got Fraser who is just no longer good enough or fit enough for Premier football.
We'd have been better off keeping Edozie & giving Sam Amo game time.
Both are genuine wide men with the ability to take defenders on & get behind them.
Alright both are young & a bit erratic but I think both are better options than we are struggling with at present.
