And yet.....
We still have a squad which is more than capable of finishing in the top 2 this season.
As saintwizzler has regularly said, one of Dyche, Cooper or Rohl would have done.
Though Cooper is now at Brondby, it seems increasingly difficult to disagree.
Dyche would have us defending properly, and that is the base from which to build. |

I think the thing that Nick and I disagree on most regularly is the multi-club ownership.
For the life of me, I cannot see how it benefits Saints.
Nick says it is the future and the way that most top clubs do things nowadays.
I would be a lot less critical of Sport Republic if they weren't devoting time and money to Goztepe and Valenciennes.
Ironically enough, it seems Juan scored for Goztepe a couple of days ago.... |

In fairness, you don't have to worry about being banned by the Club.
As the editor and owner of this site, Nick is in a very different situation, and given past events has every reason to be concerned about this happening to him.
I regularly disagree with Nick on all matters Saints, but he has given us this platform for many a year to debate stuff, and I will always respect him for that. |

Downs also doesn't look to me like he can head the ball.
A number of times yesterday half-decent crosses were played in from the wing and given Downs' height, you thought they would be ideal for him.
But he kept on completely mistiming his leaps into the air.
He just doesn't look suited to English football to me, I fear. |

I'm not sure he did.
And then I have separately read that Spors wouldn't let him sign another striker in the final week of the window.... |

My big red flag yesterday was when the ball was going out of play for a corner to us and he needlessly fouled their guy on the goal-line. Free-kick to Hull.
Totally brainless, the sort of thing you would expect from a 6 year-old. |

I was worried that the signings we made were going to create a problem for Robinson.
Utter madness that we didn’t go for a striker instead of overloading with wingers. |

Football is 95% about basics.
Make yourself tough to beat
Be fit
Be well-organised
Mark opponents at set-pieces
Win your tackles
Take your chances in front of goal.
We focus on all the other non-essential stuff. |

Wolves will be fine.
They have a very good manager, who they have just given a new contract to.
Bold step that, mind..... |

Is he now?
Would be a great shout. Just what we need.
As might be Patrick Bamford up front.
Not that Spors would dream of signing either of them. |

I don't recall much about the playing careers of Tommy Tuchel or Tommy Frank, in truth.
Or the likes of Mourinho or Wenger, going further back.
It's just how the game is nowadays. The nerds have taken over, |

That muppet Brent spent much of the first couple of months of the season two years ago harping on about "scar tissue" from the season before.
It's just what managers do. |

Do they have any strikers we should be taking off their hands?
It's all one happy collective group of clubs after all..... |

Agreed.
Our play is still too slow and ponderous without enough movement off the ball to give our defenders an option with the ball.
I think a lot of this will be solved when the ultimate Martin clone Downes is removed from the team, which must surely be imminent.
We should have a much more balanced midfield when he is dropped for Jander, who I think will link the play much better. |

He will run rings round Starmer today behind closed doors, and then we will be back as you were, with peace in Ukraine and the Middle East no nearer. |
