As I have always maintained, it is not about Stephens as an individual or as a player, it is about the managers fixation on him, he has played him in 5 different positions in the last few months, that in essence is why the squad has lost its confidence and fight.
Did Bazunu play last night ? did anything change in goal, everyone has their fixations
Rothwell is in and out of the side, he has scored some vital goals this season so has contributed
My only fixation is the constant chopping and changing that the manager has made in the past few months |

Had the confidence and fight knocked out of them, Brooks is a very good player, but he is good when the opposition are on the back foot, when you have to dig in and grind out results he is found a little wanting |

How many times did we get beat heavily with Le Tiss in the team, he was the icing on the case, but for the most part of his career here he was keeping us from getting relegated, not making us a decent team.
He was one of our greatest players, if he had played in our teams from 1980-84, with good players around him we might well have won the League |

This was not about possession football, that has not been played in the last 3 games, not because of the tactics, but because the players know that they cannot play it too much along the back line as Alex McCarthy is not good enough with his feet to play it.
Last night when under pressure we did not go back to the goalkeeper unless he was under no pressure so we cleared the ball a lot more.
This was about getting caught on the break and failing to mark our players |

This is the most worrying thing I have seen, so it was nothing to do with the fact that players who looked world beaters two months ago now look shells of their former selves is all down to the fact that he didn't pick Jack Stephens |

One player doesn't make a team just as one player doesn't make it a bad one, as I have always said it is not about Jack Stephens as an individual, but he has become the focus of just why we have gone to pot.
In our run we had the tightest defence in the Championship during that period, so what changed ?
Since January at some point every member of that defence has either found themselves dropped or moved position to accommodate our Captain.
The manager has ruined the continuity and confidence of our back four we are now a disorganised rabble '
I feel sorry for Jack, he is a good squad player, he should be getting the plaudits for filling in for injuries and coming on in the final third to close out games, yet he is the focus for the managers failings. |

We are still in the game though, if we can up our game a bit, perhaps we can get back in the game, yes it doesn't look like it at present, but neither did Cardiff look like they would get back in the game, or Sunderland and Watford for that matter |

Shea Charles in, strange that he didn't get on the pitch Saturday, Martin must have got the photos back from Stephens |

Are they allowing those with Northam season tickets to move seats, or are they just being left where they are |

I wonder what the changes will be in the team tonight, perhaps go a little bit more attacking and play 4 wingers |

Reply | 5 things I noticed at Cardiff
at 15:22 22 Apr 2024
1. The ground is a long walk from the city centre and very confusing to find after a beer or two.
2. Most of the people in the Brewery Quarter bars seemed to be English, lots of hen and stag nights it seemed
3. As a stadium the access and concourses were quite big
4. I haven't seen Saints win there but I saw England win at Ninian Park in 1982
5. It was remarkably easy to get a seat on the trains, |

What i should have said is that it depends on what division we are in, if we are still in the championship they might go with Lumley |

I am not disputing that he will probably miss the start of next season, whether we need a new keeper will depend on how quickly his injury heals |

The atmosphere was ok, I think for games like this we lose some of the floating supporters and so people are less likely to get a bit self concious when they are surrounded by those who just sit there |

I wouldnt disagree with that, Im not a great fan of McCarthy but he is an experienced keeper and the Championship isn't the Premier League, with Manning, yes I wouldnt disagree we need to go a little more defensive in that one |
