Time for a change. Stephens is not a leader, not guaranteed a regular slot (or shouldn't be guaranteed a regular starting place) and doesn't exactly set an example with his childish actions.

I would go for Flynn Downs.

I wouldnt even have Stephens as Club Captain. This is a role that still requires leadership, shared goals, mentoring and acting as a conduit between players and management. I am not sure the players respect him in that role, after his love in relationship with Russell Martin ?

This is an ideal time to have a clean start.

Keep trying Nick , one day a manager will agree with you and bin Stephens off.

So far the professional people in football just keep picking him and nows he's captain.

Maybe Still will your man , who knows?

Maybe Still looked at the stats and saw in the last Championship season we averaged over 2 points a game when he played which was more than when he didn't.

An inconvenient truth for many.

Plus Alfie and George from the Echo say apart from Stephens and Manning the squad is a quiet bunch on the pitch.

Keep going Nick , it'll happen one day..😆

If you read the article I don't say I want Jack binned off, I actually stick up for him and point out that throughout his time here he has been a good squad player and still can be.

Stats can be looked at in several ways, if we say Jack averaged over 2 points a game in the 23 appearances he made in our promotion season in the regular league season, that looks good.

In the 23 games he played no part at all in we got 38 points an average of 1.65.

But if we take out the games where he played less than 25 mins in and played no part in affecting the result, then the average drops drastically, take out games like QPR at home when he went off early in a 2-1 win when it was 0-0 away, 3 mins as sub in a 1-0 win at QPR, 8 mins in a 2-1 win over Plymouth, 7 mins in a 4-0 win over Sheff Weds then the average points per game drops to around 1.55 per game

So that turns the stats completely around

Surely the keeper should be a vocal presence on the pitch.

Another minus point for Bazunu, I fear.

Poll: Would you be happy with Rishi Sunak as a new Saints owner?

Back in the late 1980's Tim Flowers took time to blossom because he was not a vocal presence on the pitch., hopefully Bazunu will do likewise

If my memory is right he saved us away at QPR by heading over the bar a goalbound header in injury time.

You damm him with faint praise Nick.
It almost worse than stick he gets on here...just say it mate, you bloody hate him!!!

I don't hate him, but definitely don't rate him, if that helps ?


Just out of curiosity are you related to him ?
