I don't always listen to these, but I thinkntis sums up how we are all feeling. St Mary's will.become very toxic soon, once again like the Preston game, if we don't sort this.out now.
The Owners have stated that we're not equipped to play in Premier lge & the players are afraid of getting promotion. It has become obvious that when TE took over & our results picked up & we got within touching distance of the play offs that everybody took there foot off the gas. Not because they thought they were good enough to get promoted but because they know they as a club & individually they are just not good enough for Premier Lge. Many of our players were part if the team that took us down & they all struggled in the Premier lge. They know that if they get promoted then they would probably get left out of the team or would be playing in a team that's likely to get hammered each week so they have decided its best to make sure that we don't get promoted. Yes they'd be on more money but only for a season & they are not exactly on bad money playing in Championship.
Does not seem to get much of a mention but i think he is part of the problem with Wood and Stephens to our slow and predictable backwards and sideways football. Think we should go with Quasie alongside THB in the middle with Jander and Bragg in front of them, with two full backs and two attacking wide players. Yesterday I was at a loss to see how Manning was of any use, seemed to be stuck on the halfway line neither helping the defence or our attack?
What a turnaround for them with an experienced manager and a squad full of experienced players oh and an injured out of form arrogant striker who is now scoring for fun It’s really not rocket science this game why do we end up with these managers who overthink it all the time Pick you best experienced 11 and don’t be dropping or subbing your best players unless injured
Five games over the Christmas period producing just three points.
Yes, I expect that this morning the players will all be happy because they have each had game time and are not over stretched.
I’m equally sure they are all looking forward to the next opportunity of obtaining three points.
Far better to have “ gone for it “ and consistently played your best team ( if you know it ) from the outside, got a couple of wins and perhaps a draw by filling in the gaps when players receive knocks and minor injuries.
Tonda. It’s a result driven business and not about being the players best friend.
Tonda Eckert: "I don't agree it was a rubbish game of football. We played a very good team that is well organised. It's not so easy to create chances after another. I think the quality of the game actually was good. We just need to be more ruthless."
Manager is clueless, players show no passion on or off the pitch.surely the players can’t be happy playing slow uninteresting football, wouldn’t it be nice to hear a honest response from the players about what has changed from managers first 5 games to his last five games Too much meddling with team selection like the past manager, first five we seemed to have a settled side with a positive approach, I have been a season ticket holder for so many years going to home and away, recently stopped going to away games and now seriously thinking of not getting a season ticket next year unless things change. It not the fact of losing but I want to be entertained
The chant by the Northam after THB (I think it wa) had ballooned a clearance in the first half. Does that really help when positive support is probably needed? I am all for moans, and to a degree the boos at the whole team at HT, but should that chants be aimed at individuals in your own team? Definitely at the opposition players but not our own
Tonda is already looking like a busted flush, why has that fast flowing attacking football stopped? That team was so wrong, I am all for shaking it up but it needs doing where it matters This 3 that back has to go, playing Slack in a back 3 just gives him more license to okay slow ponderous passes as well as wayward ones, he has to be dropped. We need a back 4 that makes us play quicker through midfield. Fellows has to play further forward those junking runs he makes are wasted when it’s across our half We missed Jander We do not have a good enough squad to pi55 about with the team we need our best 11 at all times Was Leo!injured?? I hope so otherwise there is no reason to swap him for azaz at HT. as for Azaz slow and languid and ineffective and the one time he needed to be he misses a sitter We need a striker desperately quickly And Baz I don’t love at all but that save was immense!
Thanks for all the opinions whether i agree with them or not, football would be a very boring game if we all agreed on everything.
In the main this year we have had some lively debates, but few of them have got abusive on a personal level.
We all have our favourite players and those that we love to hate, the whole fun is arguing the toss about them all.
I might not agree with them all as i say, but I defend your right to say them and indeed i give a platform for them even if I vehemently disagree, I have never taken down a post purely on disagreeing with a footballing opinion post.
So Happy 2026 dont forget to like and share this site on our Facebook page and also to all your friends, the more the merrier !!!
We need to come out the blocks today a la Charlton Leicester games and then focus and not retreat once we take the lead Quarshie back please And ideally 4 at the back but……. No excuses
The Daily Echo are reporting that we will be signing a new Goalkeeper. Hope it's true. Bayern Munich sounds like a good place to get a goalkeeper from.
