Reply | How do we play 10 mins extra time
at 20:41 20 Oct 2024
It is a minimum of 7 mins. There are loads of examples where extra minutes are added by the ref. If he believes there has been time wasting, even if he doesn’t warn people, he may not agree with the minimum added time by his own calculations. But who knows? |

We were already on the rack, and if Fraser had not given the pen, Vardy would most likely have scored. We just collapse once we concede a goal. And you don’t need to “be brave” to pass the ball around effectively. The man is a fraud. |

He did not interfere with the goalkeeper, he was moving away as the shot was made, and he was not unsighting the keeper. There are plenty of precedents to that already this season. I thought the offside decision was harsh and wrong. VAR showed that to be the case. |

Thread | Same mistake, over and over
at 08:26 20 Oct 2024
Yet again, nobody between the pen spot and edge of the area at a corner. This is a shocking occurrence that has been repeated in several games, and been punished by conceding a goals. Why don’t we do this? It is basics. Am I just out of date or something? |

I was amazed when I heard that we were 2-0 up. But as i predicted a couple of days ago, Leicester have got some fight in them, and sadly, we do not. Surely time for a new manager now? His approach, tactics and substitutions are weak. |

Reply | How Will Russell Martin Be Seen By Saints Fans After Today
at 11:25 19 Oct 2024
“We must remain true to our character.”
What that actually means, is we must remain true to the style of play I believe in. Unless he means that defensive mistakes (that we never learn from) are part of the deal. Or maybe having less shots and shots on target with 60% possession, whilst our competitors exceed our efforts with half the possession.
At least he is not saying’”It’ll be OK, we’ll come good.” Or is he? What exactly are his goals for this club? |

“ there really are a fair few that seem to have a love in with this boring, turgid brand of football. I personally would rather see us lose by a hatful of goals but at least try to take on the opposition…..”
Absolutely this. |

Anything less than a win will be a dire result. Right now, I’d take a scrappy 1-0. However, Leicester have too much character to not give it a real go, and their record against us favours them, not us.
I don’t see even a scrappy 1-0, sadly. |

Reply | Is Carsley The Man For England ?
at 15:19 13 Oct 2024
Wes have had a couple of non English managers, and for the most part, fans were happy with them. At least Carsley comes from the British Isles and grew up in Birmingham. |

405 minutes is three and a half games. I would say that is tantamount to cameo appearances. Mind you, it is much more than Stewart. |

Apart from the bit about p1ssing off (how we would have jumped at that), he said much the same here. He is driving his career in a steadily downwards direction. |

And his football knowledge and opinions are not off kilter either. It is the rest of his beliefs that are weird, but you can’t knock a man for standing by his beliefs. Oh, but you can. |

Reply | Has our defence got weaker or is Ramsdale just not that good?
at 19:00 7 Oct 2024
So based on 7 games in total, and only 2 for McCarthy, you are prepared to conclude that Ramsdale is not a good keeper. (If you are using the McCarthy stats, and we know he is far from “good”). Your post really did make me laugh out loud. |

SR know we have a squad good enough to get promotion next year, and a manager that will most likely do it for them. When you have a large portion of fans saying they prefer it in the Championship (I just cannot get my head around that), why would they change? The numbers will pan out better no doubt. |

Tired? After 58 minutes?
In the same way that we (nor most teams) could not maintain a high press for 90 minutes, RH never came up with a sensible alternative. Selles did at least try another way, but to little effect. It would have been hard for anyone following the NJ disaster and inheriting a demoralized squad.
Possession football once used to be the means to take a breather. We can’t do that very well at present, and our last ditch defending style is what it is, next to chaotic. |

I don’t have a beef if players are earning their chance through performances in training. It is just when RM says that the squad are still learning (after more than a year), then to change so many personnel makes that more difficult. He is beginning to sound as convincing as Nathan Jones. |

Exactly, that is what football managers have always had to do. |
