5 at the back STILL. Madness. #saintsfc

Middlesborough no goals in 6 hours. Then Southampton come to town…

Yea it’s bizarre. The centre backs only have one passing option in this system because the midfielders are either dropping deep or marked. This then invites the press…

And still he hasn’t changed the system…

This 5-3-2 is killing us. No out balls, no midfield, just the same U-shaped pattern without threat. I don’t know why he has switched to this in recent games. #saintsfc

TONDA BALL #SaintsFC

On paper I’d say this England side is significantly better. In reality Australia are a better cricket team.

Verily, we cooketh.

Pretty embarrassing, this. Australia making us look like a team of schoolboys. #TheAshes 🏏

Starc is having the series of his life #TheAshes 🏏

This Ashes pitch is completely dead

Say what you want about that Smith drop, it doesn’t change the fact that our bowling has been wayyyy off today so far. #Ashes #England

Watching England bat 🥱 😴 #TheAshes

I’d like 9

Shades of the last series here. England are the better and more talented team but they let themselves down. The Aussies don’t need to play well to beat us when we throw matches away so recklessly. #ashes

The Australia one yday was even more conclusive than that and was given not out! #ashes

That is a shocking decision #ashes

Can’t give that if the one yesterday wasn’t given #ashes

Yea we are getting ourselves out. Th Aussies weren’t even trying to hit strokes and were simply blown away.

We’ve let Australia off the hook here hugely #ashes

Agreed on that!

We’re still shit but that was a gutsy performance #saintsfc

I think there was some kind of issue yesterday with Bluesky - I saw very few posts then but now I see way more from the same time.

A mercy, really.

Still has to go now for me. Even if we win the game.

This game is a carbon copy of the previous six. No innovation, no new direction.

The performance alone should tell the board all they need to know.

Snipping function 🙏🏼

This hits too hard

Even if we win this, it’s not good enough. Still is on the very edge for me now. #SaintsFC

I really don’t think the players are the issue. This is probably the best squad in the league. So many proven performers at this level.

Maybe Still needs more time but if he gets it we accept this season is just building back up and temper expectations.

He’s already on borrowed time for me. You can say the players are making mistakes but we shouldn’t even be in these positions. Defensively we’re a mess and we have no attacking threat. It’s not for a lack of good players.

Never seen a team undermine themselves so often and consistently. #saintsfc
