I really like our new manager. He looks miserable as f*ck. There isn’t much to smile about; is this the worst season in Saints history?
Relegation from championship to League One was still with 45 points.
Relegation from the top division was never this bad. [Post edited 2 Jan 23:18]

Is this recent, or are you talking about the last few years in general?
If it’s recent, i’ve just checked his X posts since 30th December and they aren’t inciting race hate at all.
His political posts include
- those covering up r*pe gangs should be arrested
- Being annoyed Jess Phillips rejected a possible report into r*pe gangs.
And… that’s it. Why would you be annoyed at this? Or is he living rent free in your head to the point where you’re hallucinating into seeing unreal MLT social media posts. |

Even in the Itchen, and i'm sure in other sections within English football, the total dedicated vocalists were usually few anyways - 20 at most in the top few rows (out of around 700). The mass are reactionary as you say. The key to getting a better atmosphere comes in these dedicated vocalists finding eachother; similar to "SaintsAwayBlocks" a few years ago, finding a designated section.
The Northam is an impressive end, but it needs guidance. Sporadic support is limited support in such a large end. [Post edited 27 Dec 2024 14:56]

Onuachu's play created many of our chances. Bowen scored a simple tap in, despite barely threatening us throughout. Even our attackers would've scored that chance. |

Substitutes are a world away from the starting XI, both in terms of ability and style of play. By swapping our full backs, especially with Bree coming on for Sugawarra, the play returned to a pass round the back style.
Aribo, Sule and Bree all slowed down our play in this regard considerably.
Only change i’d make is Archer in for AA. Onuachu was excellent, as was KWP. [Post edited 26 Dec 2024 19:54]

Yet here you are, having gone to the game, still moaning at my comment. I’ll stick with my option and say what I like, thanks. |

Support the f*cking team FFS. Get them up, not down. Absolute morons. [Post edited 22 Dec 2024 15:17]

No midfield rhythm.
I also don’t think I can take much more of KWP on the wrong side, cutting onto his right, under every manager. |

Not sure how this game will end up, but this random bloke, Simon Rusk, could easily have got us more points than Martin this season. |

We already look more aggressive, akin to the second half vs Liverpool. Still not convinced by the Aribo-Downes midfield. Looking positive. |

Very happy with this appointment. The players have long been treated as buddies with Russell Martin in charge. Juric looks like a nutter; but he is a manager, not a friend, who seemingly takes no prisoners. Get them working and see what happens. [Post edited 20 Dec 2024 21:35]

Excellent! No to constant passing. Bring us the one they call Moyes.
The long throws and crosses into the box were a joy to behold yesterday. Is a fitter team, giving it their all, lobbing it into the box too much to ask for? Quick counter attack is our best way of getting results. [Post edited 19 Dec 2024 17:38]

It also highlighted our priorities. Certain players - Brereton Diaz, in only a short stint - showed they weren’t very good. These “shitters” need to be replaced by players who may actually do something. Long balls, especially with a goalkeeper like Ramsdale, can be effective; however, a more compact midfield is needed if the ball is given away. Downes-Aribo is a death sentence.
Downes especially put in a lazy, selfish performance. Barely putting in a shift and fouling all over the place, even when the ball was nowhere near. He may be sad his best mate Lego has gone. I take it number 26 isn’t very good, as any significant central midfielder should walk into this side; a must in January.
Onuachu is poor but offers strength through opposition paranoia. Him and Archer should lead the line. Danger men like Dibling, and even Sulemana (who I thought was decent coming on) should be given freedom. Someone should tell Dibling to keep his head up.
In defence, Taylor needs to be given another go with Sugawarra on the other side. Wood was excellent. Stability at the back, quick counters in attack. This should be our plan going forward. [Post edited 19 Dec 2024 13:20]

Good second half. Most enjoyment of the season. I just hope SR sees the light and doesn’t appoint another possession manager. There’s life in the crowd and players. A possession-led appointment could zap this away. |
