Saints 3-2

[AGENT_CLARET]

I'm watching the B@stards game and the Hull game, the defending in this league is gash lol, we've nothing to fear next season

[Vegas Claret]

Do you honestly think it matters at this stage? If we finish rock bottom it will be because we deserve it.

some people can't cope with it

[Foshiznik]

Just switched over to the b@st@Ed’s game. Is there Covid restrictions or a lockdown in Blackburn as there is a lot of blue seats on show…

Saints are 4th, conceded 5 in the last two. We absolutely need to sign some experience but if we do that then I agree, nothing to fear at all

[Vegas Claret]

4-2 Saints

[jedi_master]

Sheffield United could win every game till the end of the season 5-0 and I wouldn’t care (well, bar against us I suppose). What does it matter anymore? We’re down and have been since before the pumpkins were being put out. Relax and look forward to next season, it cannot come quick enough. Literally no point in wallowing in misery.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

We are currently the sh!ttest team in the division with Sheff Utd winning away at the team that beat us with relative ease last week, a team that shaped like a mid table championship side, let that sink in

[Grahamjack]

Anass game stepped up a gear following his goal. Confidence is now showing and crowd up for him too.

Couple of nice tricks on show too

[spt_claret]

He won the ball back for the Hull opener too. What we’d give for a goal and an assist via a high press tackle at the moment too.

Id just take a winger who can press at the moment. One who can shoot or cross with either foot as well would be a luxury. Anyone who says Zaroury has had a fair crack this season is a liar, he had a bad game sure but who hasn't?

Funny how that works isn't it.

When its a 32000 stadium with 10000 home fans on then there will be quite a few empty seats

[Vegas Claret]

get in,Stoke have scored

Id look forward to next season more if there were positive forwards signs. As it stands I don't see many signs we can replicate last season- it's an entirely different team, might change again, and a lot of Kompanys astuteness from last season in particular use of subs has gone absent. If we start actually making a fight of it the last couple months I'll be looking forwards to it, if not, I'll be apprehensive.

[warksclaret]

McNally scores -oh dear

[Vegas Claret]

Agent McNally

[Vegas Claret]

and Millwall score now, just need Plymouth to nick it

[THEWELLERNUT70]

I'm taking about with regards to next season, anyone who thinks it'll be a walk in the park again next season imo is delusional

[Bosscat]

Bunmouth score 2-2

[blatherwickstattoos]

We won’t be walking the league with this squad .

as we are I agree we won't, I don't expect us to be like we are personally though. I would imagine at least 5 changes, we deffo need some experienced heads

[Murger]

VK has shown he’d rather sign a youngster though.

[Vegas Claret]

Bournemouth had enough chances to win 4 games

[Vegas Claret]

VK has shown he’d rather sign a youngster though.

well we don't know if that's his choice or the directive. If we don't sign some experience we won't get promoted

[evensteadiereddie]

So far.

[AGENT_CLARET]

We've got player's with championship experience, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Brownhill, Zaroury, Benson, Cullen, Muric, Beyer and Massengo

[Vegas Claret]

We've got player's with championship experience, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Brownhill, Zaroury, Benson, Cullen, Muric, Beyer and Massengo

Taylor and JBG are out of contract in the summer I think. If we keep hold of Brownhill, Berge and Cullen I would be very confident

[AGENT_CLARET]

We won’t be walking the league with this squad .

We P1SSED the league with Barnes and Jay Rod upfront, this current team will have no problem

[Vegas Claret]

huge win for Stoke. On paper that was Rovers easiest remaining fixture

[Vegas Claret]

Luton level at Palace

[HahaYeah]

Luton done it again.

[claptrappers_union]

Battling to the end, always.

'Superb ball from Townsend' they say on Radio 5

[ISpeds00]

Hiw bournemouth havent won that is beyond me

[Poulton-le-Claret]

And just like that, we are bottom of the league.

[JimmyRobbo]

Luton leveller is almost comical.
Palace rolling over and comitting the sin of thinking they'd won. Poor marking.

[HahaYeah]

Was a beast of a ball in by Townsend.

[spt_claret]

We've got player's with championship experience, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Brownhill, Zaroury, Benson, Cullen, Muric, Beyer and Massengo

Taylor out of contract
JBG out of contract might get a renewal might not
Brownhill we have a one year option no word if weve exercised it.
Zaroury, Benson, Muric all wildly out of favour, they won't be much part of our team. Muric will go, Benson probably, Zaroury maybe (I'd say probably personally)
Cullen yes.
Beyer yes but he's struggled for fitness.
Massengo yes but barely played for us, got to bed in.

I'd also say Foster and Amdouni are possible departures (which could leave us light on strikers), maybe Odobert. And Koleosho will have a huge for sale sign over his head once he's fit. Taking it far too for granted about next season.

[Vegas Claret]

Hiw bournemouth havent won that is beyond me

they had way more chances today than they did last week - that's football though

[BobSykes]

Townsend LOL

Another stroke of Kompany genius....

[Ric_C]

Bournemouth 32 shots with 70% possession

Far cry from the stats last week

Funny old game

but we also have 5 loan spaces in the Championship. We are pretty nailed on to use them all and probably with City and Chelsea

[Murger]

Massengo is not an experienced head.

[Vegas Claret]

If only we could do what sheff and Luton can

you didn't watch either game, they both got absolutely battered. Sheff Uniteds second goal is the luckiest I've seen all season. That's football, crack on to the next week.

[ISpeds00]

CORRECT - we will walk it
The archair fans havent a clue

[Murger]

And what about those of us who have season tickets?

[spt_claret]

We've seen this year what happens when you build a team around loans then don't replace them.
Bellis I'd say was adequately replaced by O'Shea
We haven't signed any like for like replacement for either Tella or Maatsen, even if both seemed overpriced at the time that's huge negligence to not find an alternative.
I don't want us reliant on loans that we can't afford to convert, again.

[NewClaret]

They should’ve won by 6.

Bloody football.

it's the cheapest way to get players though which I suspect is something we will have to do. We all know last summer was a complete disaster and this season was entirely predictable because of it (although I didn't expect us to be THIS bad). This summer will tell us if they genuinely have 'learnt'

[HahaYeah]

That's it now, tomorrows a must win.
