Brighton's sucess was built around a system of play and good recruitment...and patience.
They were more sensible than us as they focused on defence and pragmatism and survived their first couple of seasons before stepping up the pace .
Dunk..Academy
Macallister.. 12.5m
Caicado....3m
Grob..3m
Mitoma..3m
Lallana..free
Wellbeck..free .
Cucarella ..15m
It can be done cheaply and wisely but you need clever/ lucky recruitment and stability. |

I wouldn't say we need to spend that much.
Maybe a few 30m players would help but for a club like ours it's about clever/lucky recruitment imo.
Clearly our recruitment has been pretty woeful apart from the odd success and we were too loyal to some of the (at best) Championship standard performers.
I'm as fed up as everyone else at our terrible start and likely relegation.
But a part of me wants to believe a long term plan and system of play which I personally don't mind when it works over season by season grit it out struggle for survival.
Maybe the owners and manager have tried to run before they can walk at this level and we should have been more pragmatic this season to survive first and foremost and then we could have attracted better quality players to build the team to suit the club and managers vision..ie Brightons way. |

I often wonder how both the Prince of Wales and the Chapel Arms survive apart from the once a fortnight home game to fill their boots.
These areas are pretty ethnically diverse and I can't imagine the local population are big pub goers anymore.
Good luck to the Engineer Arms , hopefully it survives and prospers. |

It was crab football at its worst .
Stoke occasionally counterattacked .
All very predictable.
Classic EFL cup night tbh. |

Since the Internet began to dominate people's lives there has been an absolute explosion in people who have stopped believing in reality as we know it.
Imo it's either an understandable blip as our brains are struggling to cope with information overload or it really is the sign of a species on a path to extinction. |

I thought we barely pressed them all afternoon .
If you cant see any of his attributes well what about the blatant penalty we should of had due to his physical presence causing the Leicester defender to panic .
What about the through ball to Sulemana ?
No one would claim he's a world beater but it's not like we have a wealth of attacking talent is it? |

Same as my lad and myself tbh.
Going to watch Eastleigh is less street inducing and more of a old school football experience.
Yesterday was me done with this manager.
Clueless subs, absolutely no idea how to defend, sticking to his principles where clearly we just hand the momentum to opposition by giving the ball away in both defence and midfield...suicide football. |

It's baffled me that we spent about 18m on Tall Paul and virtually never played him.
Lots of fan wrote him off based on his few cameo appearances.
Classic Saints recruitment really.
Maybe he'll be not much cop but surely he deserves a run of games so we can find out. |
