J-owl

At this point, would you accept a takeover from Super Hans? Probably worth a go. Don’t remember a Peep Show episode where he gets Palace kicked out of the Europa League.

I live in Southampton and I’m going to their match tonight. I’ve been practising loudly saying that Röhl is a terrible manager and 0-4 flattered Wednesday last season.

***disclaimer*** I’m not comparing them to £20m Omari Hutchinson But, I wonder if Danny will bed them in like McKenna did with Hutchinson at Ipswich. Was expecting him to be more involved there than he was at the start, mainly coming on as a sub, then second half of the season he was their best player. Seemed to take him some time to settle into their system. With Lowe/Windass/Gass/Musaba we for once have the luxury of being able to be patient with bright young players

It’s widely viewed by Saints fans that they went downhill when Röhl left which was before Ralph was sacked so he wasn’t really part of the group that got sacked

Used to play football with a guy who had a Lekaj shirt, still find it funny to this day

Röhl and all the staff came into Bierkeller. After about 20 mins, Vaulks and Pato arrived, then they sort of drifted in 1 by 1 for the next hour Powell was having a superb time

Our league status is in his hands - clean sheet next week and nothing else matters!

It’s kind of frustrating that it’s taken this long to effectively revert back to the midfield 3 that we all knew was solid and arguably too good for League 1 last season (not blaming Röhl, blaming someone else…) Obviously new players can improve a team (possibly Momo at some point) but fitness aside I think we would have been much better off starting the season with the BBV trio and focused our efforts on, say, LBs and STs!

Walked round and clapped the fans at the end

I’m not saying I’m convinced about Jones, but I live in Southampton and having seen them a fair bit last year can confirm that they were an absolute car crash before and after Jones too - not just when he was there. I don’t think anyone would have achieved much with that team. Aware he was bad at Stoke too but I wouldn’t say the Saints stint proves a huge amount. The press conferences weren’t a good look though.

Personally my favourite of our ‘weird investors’ will always be Azerbaijan Land of Fire man. He actually made it onto the shirts.

Ah

If Dawson had been a new signing in January and performed how he has, no one would be calling for us to sign a new number one We just need a backup

I love how he gives the goalkeeper a little shove every time he passes him He’s such a handful, can’t be fun to mark at all

He’s not first choice over MJ/RJ, but he’s come in off the back of no competitive games and contributed. Always hate 2pm Saturday because it’s the weekly “who’s not in the squad that we didn’t know about” moment (James, Byers, Iorfa, Flint etc at various points). Last week and arguably yesterday that spot was filled in by Brown both times and he’s come in and contributed to the only goals we’ve scored and 2 clean sheets. Automatically a hard job coming in but when people are effectively disappointed that James or whoever is missing I think it makes it even harder. Well done JB!
