Tone deaf Saints players 05:11 - Apr 16 with 2210 views | Ripleys_revenge | On the back of one of the most spineless performances by a Saints team that I can ever remember against West Brom (and there have been numerous candidates for that award this season), why do players think this sort of article helps the cause in any way? Sometimes I wish our lads would shut the f@ck up heading into a big game, not use the opportunity to grab a few more seconds of publicity. When I read articles like this I don't get the sense the players are at all hurt by the performances they (collectively) put in on Monday. Instead, here Redmond is giving interviews about how he played Bugsy Malone in the school play when he was a kid. Who on earth advises these players?? Tone-deaf springs to mind... https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/19232324.redmond-ready-return-big-stage-wemble | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Interesting that he said that the difference now from the previous semi-final is that they have a clear ethos of how they want to play. I think this is at the heart of many of our poor performances. If another team manages to stifle Saints 'in how we want to play', then we lose. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

There are only so many ways of saying the lads are sick as parrots etc. At times like this the media also look for “human interest” stories to add something to the games. I wouldn’t blame the players for producing this guff. Blame the people who lap it up. If there was no market for it it wouldn’t appear. | ![](/images/avatars/21649.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Spot on Dorset, Ralph talks about automatism, which you could interpret as not thinking, not adapting to changing situations. I think there's a naivety about Ralph, to play this way you need the quality of Man City. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
