As I was saying….
Wait.
WHAT?
CONSOLATION!!!
Told you Djenepo and Mara were the answer.
And straight away we give away a penalty
Penalty to City.
Jesus fucking Christ.
1-4.
Pretty sure Bazunu dived before the ref had even blown his whistle.
3 of our players have phoned it in and are down injured.
I’m rapidly discovering how @Polski_Filip feels. I’m watching a kosher channel on Now TV, not an iffy stream, and I’m still several minutes behind the comments here.
OK, call me mad… but. We have a very young side that does show signs of what it can be, but lacks experience and in some cases direction. Sadly i think some of the better young players will leave on relegation, but if we would see the side in a couple of years…?
Going to a back 5.
why we are not protecting anything
Oh but we are. Our fragile mental state and an already shit goal difference.
Sure, there’s an argument for putting the 7 foot centre forward on and throwing caution to the wind but this is not the Saints way.
and that is just the fans
I still don’t see any sort of meaningful identity. This is still conservative Ralph-ball.
The high press had to be played at 100mph to be effective and the ball wins in final third was how we scored a lot of our goals. Without that we are nothing. We can’t even counter attack very well anymore because we have no clinical finishers.
Remember when we used to start fast and fade? Now we’re just all fade.
I think any players worth keeping will go and I fear for a young inexperienced side in the championship. Especially one who are pathetic at defending crosses and set pieces. The Championship is a physically demanding and relentless league and fixture list. We are too meek, mild and naive. Zero nasty bastards or hard men.
Do I have any faith in Rasmus Ankerson buying the right players for the “6th best league in the world” (his words)? Fuck no.
We have an outside chance of keeping Livramento given he has been crocked for an entire year.
I think we will struggle in the Championship.
Fvcking result
BiL bought the Burgers & Beers and we got an earlier Tram / Bus combo to get to watch 30m extra golf!
I don’t think most fans realise the scale of the overhaul required this summer to compete in the EFL.
This is a worry.
We have Tall Paul.
We will be fine
