I invite people to list memories of all the individual, calamitous happenings during SISU's tenure, no matter how trivial. Some of them are so ridiculous, you couldn't make them up! i'll start.... Onye Igwe (director): I think that we need to address how fat the club mascot is, it sends the...

Very good player for us. Our biggest attacking threat and our 'x factor'. However, after getting into our first team at 17 yr old, fans got complacent and he soon worked out that he was too good for us and almost stopped trying and waited for a move to another club (had already attracted many...

I have to say that I am very surprised you haven't included Willis?! In my opinion the best defender on the park yesterday and probably so far this year....

I went to many Saints games in L1. They certainly were not getting 20k. When they were flying towards promotion from the championship diehard fans sang to the others 'where were you when we were shit?!'

Burge Clarke Willis Reda Haynes O'brien Thomas Fleck Swanson/Couli Nouble Jackson

We would have 20k home fans in L1if we were taken over by a billionaire and had Lallana, Schneiderlin, Fonte, Lambert, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Puncheon in the squad!!! Saints got a fresh start. Until we do, you cannot make comparison

Biggest problem is having no width whatsoever in the opposition's attacking third. Too easy to defend against and means every pass out wide is either sideways or backwards. We aren't creating chances! When Fleck (as a decent passer of the ball, with good vision) looks up, he has no forward pass...

Not gonna waste my time on individual ratings. Whole team were rudderless and frankly, an embarrassment. Only Willis and Haynes were anywhere near satisfactory. Formation is clearly dire, we never got any width whatsoever in the attacking third. A common theme this season. SP must start...

I really like Pressley, as do most of the fans. However, he needs to address the system we use, as it is not picking us up a satisfactory points tally. There are some good players in our squad, but in my opinion too many square pegs in round holes. Swanson, O'brien and Coulibaly are wide...

This 5-3-2 formation will cost him his job. I guess we will see how stubborn he is if this rotten brand of football and poor results continues and he sticks with the 5-3-2. We clearly don't have the players to utilise it affectively.... No threat going forward whatsoever, yet still not solid...

:slap:

That is too easy to defend against. Both wingbacks need to be able to attack, if this system is to be successful, only using one side for attack is too easy for teams to nullify. If teams mark Haynes tightly, like two games ago, we are forced (scarily) to use Clarke as our "attacking...

Let's hope so.....

I agree he is good in centre mid, but in a 3-5-2 your wingbacks make or break the system. I think he would be very influential there....

:laugh:

I think our biggest problem is; SP bought players in the summer to play 4-4-2, hence why we have wide players (Swanson, O'Brien and Coulibaly) playing centrally or not at all. We have Jordan Clarke (a decent defender) being asked to play an attacking role, which in my opinion is beyond his...

O'brien played right wingback and right back at Barnsley before. Great engine natural wide player, tough tackler, good cross. Surely a more attacking choice?! If we play 3-5-2, I'd like to see this until Red a gets back: --------------------Burge-------------------...

We need attacking wide players. Plan B should be 442 Allsop/Burge Clarke Willis Johnson Pugh O'brien Thomas Fleck Swanson/Couli Noble Jackson I know we conceded a lot last season with a back four, but: - Christie was a poor defender, Clarke better - Webster too slow to play in a 4 -...

Agreed, makes getting rid of Baker, a goal getting midfielder who can play centrally, a very strange one! Our strikers have looked uninspiring...

Clock is ticking....
