Sulemane injured so not available for Newcastle
at 13:56 23 Jan 2025

At Ivan Juric's press conference he's said that Kalmadeen Sulemane has a hamstring problem so is not available for Saturdays match against Newcastle.
Apparently he's had Hammy problems before so the club have to be careful with him.
Hamstring injuries are much more of a problem with quick players, it's the sprinting that does the damage.
Such a shame, just when Kalmadeen was starting to show us what he's capable of.
Ivan also mentioned that the squad were not as physically or mentally fit as they needed to be (blame RM for that).
So they have been doing extra work in training to prepare for games.
I must say that I do like Ivan, I think he has a really good understanding of the game.
Given time & I think he'd do a good job for us, BUT, will he get that time or will the club ditch him when we drop into Championship.

Thanks for reminding us just how magical Matt Le Tiss was.
In all my years of watching football I've never seen a more talented player than Le God.(sadly overlooked by our National team)
And most of us had the pleasure of watching him perform the outrageous.

At least Tall Paul has scored a hat trick which more than any other player we have at the club (excusing Tyler's Academy goals).

Saints Defender Yet To Agree January Move Although Club's Agree Terms

Overstocked with not very good full backs.
A couple of decent ones would help.

Is Ramsdale the keeper he was or is he simply behind an utterly pathetic defence
at 19:05 21 Jan 2025

2 of the goals against Forest were the fault of the defence not Ramsdale.
Our defenders kept backing off the oncoming forwards inviting them to shoot, & they were 2 very well struck shots that most keepers would have struggled to keep out.
The 3rd goal came about because Chris Woods was left unmarked in the box & he did what does best & scored with a good header, Ramsdale had no chance.
Our defenders were very guilty of not taking responsibility, Harwood Bellis is very guilty of leaving the opposition unmarked because he panics & does not have faith in our other defenders to do their job, he just doubles up instead of picking out an opponent to mark. He's done that on far too many occasions this season.

New signing ?

Hope it's not the same Medic examining him that examined Ross Stewart.

Loan space freed up

There's absolutely no point in bringing in any more loan players, just bring back the ones we've got out on loan & give some of the Academy lads a chance.

Rohl and Shea Charles

Shea Charles is a better player than Downes who's just a liability.

Can't believe we went to so much trouble & spent so much money on Downes.
He's a liability, so erratic & lacking in discipline.
Oh how we miss Oriel Romeu.

Sulemena on the bench
at 13:13 19 Jan 2025

Strange team selection.
Sulemane left out after being MOM on Thursday.
Reminiscent of RM's decision making.
I can only assume that he's fatigued
( knackered) & being rested.
Or is he being sold so not being risked getting injured.

I only suggested Manning to man Mark Diallo because I couldn't think of anyone else in our Squad that could do it.
You're right Mannings lack of pace might have been a problem but he is a trier & would have stuck to the task.
Last night Diallo was the only threat from Man U.
The rest of them looked pretty ordinary & disinterested.

You're absolutely right, KWP's defensive limitations were exposed again.
He just is not good enough to deal with players like Diallo & we should have brought on Manning to man Mark Diallo.
Once players like Diallo get on the ball they are unplayable so you have to stop their supply at source by man marking you reduce the chances of him getting the ball.

We all know that our current players aren't good enough to play in Premier & so do they.
But I do blame RM for the lazy unfit mentality that he has instilled into these players.
I will not start to criticise Ivan Juric, he's inherited a dispirited group of players but at least he's identified some glaring problems & is dealing with it best he can.
He is concentrating on getting players fitter both physically & mentally ( eg. Sulemane & & Bree who both have improved under IJ).
But I would say that his unnecessary substitutions hurt us against United, I think he's still giving lots of players game time to assess them.
I think that he is a massive upgrade on RM.

We won't be favourites to come straight back up this time.

I wish I had your optimism Nick.
It's total supposition as who will stay & who will go.
I personally think it'll be more difficult to come straight back up this time.
You've got be be one of the best three teams in Championship to get Promoted & I just don't think we will be.
It's a matter of opinion & only time will tell.

at 14:58 12 Jan 2025

2 years ago when relegated to Championship we were bookies favourites to come straight back up.
I'd be very surprised if we are regarded as favourites to come back up 25/26 season.
I just think the club in general is in a worse place now than we were then.
Weaker squad, lower moral & have got used to losing.
But same owners that is the problem.

VILLA WINGER PHILOGENE SIGNING FOR £21 MILLION!!!!!!
at 10:53 9 Jan 2025

I suppose you could say that Fernández is a replacement for Alcarez but they are slightly different players.
I forgot that we'd lost Stuey Armstrong, that is a big miss, sometimes you don't appreciate someone until you haven't got them.
We should have attempted to keep David Brookes he's can be a match winner (as he was for Bournemouth last weekend).
Instead we chose Ryan Fraser because he was free.

You're right, we got rid of better players than we brought in.
Adams replaced by Archer
Edozie replaced by Cornet.
Charles replaced by Big Les ( I can never spell his name).
Alcarez not replaced.
Not surprising that we're in this dire situation.
