Get the thread in early after a good transfer window, will Mason Holgate start the game and will Taylor Harwood - Bellis play any part.
We now know the squad for the next 4 months and it looks strong, good striking options, strong centre of the midfield, good options on the flanks and more importantly a strong centre of defence.
In goal if people can get past last season and a couple of mistakes in pre season, then they might just notice we have a decent keeper in the making .
Big question now is Sulemana, he could really make us a massive threat |  |

Dear god that’s bad, we’ve got the players but I think big Russ picked the wrong ones today. Deffo need Charles as a defensive mid, Mara awful. Fraser and Che should have started as well. Hopefully Holgate and Bazanu Will be dropped |
You ok hun? You finally seeing what everyone else has been saying |  |

Started bad and we never improved we’ve probably our biggest test against Leicester and changes need to be made.
Mara , Holgate and Bazunu need to be dropped.
Bazunu just doesn’t make any saves and we’ve now let in 12 goals in 5 championship games. Yes not all 12 have been his fault but another keeper may have saved 2 or 3 .
McCarthy has his faults but he’s best of a very bad bunch. |  | | |

Tippy tappy possession based football with no substance or end product. Coupled with an absolutely useless goalie who can’t anticipate fook all except when his over inflated monthly pay hits his bank account just about sums up the current crock of shite that wear our beloved red & white shirt. A totally inept, pathetic, turgid, poor and pathetic performance. Welcome to the northern Championship that means more to them then it does to SFC. The last goal sums up our embarrassment of a goal keeper. A downward header straight at the fooker. He has to be dropped and bring in Mcarthy. |  | | |

12 goals conceded in 5 league games suggests Martin can’t set up a team that knows how to defend. The fault lies with him and him alone. At this rate we will conceded over 100 goals by the end of the season. Why we can’t appoint a decent manager is beyond me. Jones Selles and now RM. |
Everyone knew his defensive record
We haven’t played any good teams yet and now we have it’s been exposed
Pick your best eleven ffs
The window is over
Start Adams Fraser etc
They were trying to flog Mara he didn’t get a move then starts!?!
Our keeper isn’t good enough which we know
Mid table at best
And Leicester must be salivating | | | |

Not sure what the plan was there and the team selection was baffling. Carved open time and again. Smallbone was atrocious and Holgate looked like he'd never played before. And then we go to a long ball team in the second half with 5ft Fraser expected to win headers.
Be interesting to see what Martin says given he basically hung his players out to dry after the league cup loss. |
Why no alcaraz either???
Why do we keep hiring managers who seem clueless where selection is concerned every week?! | | | |

Not just the best 11 but set up a team that away from home protects your back 4. To be fair to Bazunu I thought he was at fault for the one goal but when the 10 in front of you are so open it doesn’t give him much of a chance. |  |

Well, RM seems to have some blind spots too. Bazunu poor again.
Mara, poor in every Single game till He joined, starts because He played a good game in some useless friendly behind closed doors? While Charles, Adams, Alcaraz or Fraser, who all did Well in competitive games, sit in the bench. You can't make it up... | | | |

Totally agree

And why did they try flogging Mara on loan all window for him to be good enough to start the first game it shuts?? | | | |

I can’t believe when we have a corner we don’t leave anyone on the halfway line. Talk about paragraph 1 in the how to defend for beginners book! | |

Or vice versa, as quite a few times they had corners when we were loosing yet we had nobody up front meaning that whenever it got cleared nobody was there to receive it |  |

Respect to Tony Mowbray. He's a proper manager. He adjusts his tactics depending on the team he's facing and knows how to play against different styles, how to cause problems.
You won't see his team playing RM style tippy-tappy shite or melting away when they're attacked. They've got no money but because of him they can still put out a decent team. | | | |

Saints were outplayed in every department. Mara is a joke and should never play for Saints again, gave the ball away too often and played other Saints players into trouble with his poor passing.
Stadium of Light is a nice ground, easy to get to from the city centre. Good view despite being high up! (much better than Newcastle). | | | |

At least Leicester and norwich lost. Preston the new leaders . 3 points ahead of us in now 7th place, with a somewhat embarrassing minus 2 goal difference !! |  |

I'm not sure the word 'strong' could be applied to our defence. Holgate and Manning have made an already weak defence even weaker. |  |

Yeah, strange day of results. Leicester beaten at home by Hull, Norwich lost at Rotherham, Leeds draw 0-0 at home to Sheff Wednesday & we got a bloody good spanking at Sunderland of course.
No surprise we now have the worst goal difference in the whole top half of the division after today's fiasco. Where have we heard that before! It all sounds familiar.
On the plus side ; early days obviously - but we're only 3 points off the leaders Preston NE! |  |

Sorry, sick of this shite already.
No excuses, Mobray was by far the better manager today.
Who in their right mind starts Mara FFS? | | | |

i am afraid we have another egotistical blind spot manager and that means a leaky defence and catastrophic defeats due to no plan B and poor team selection
top 10 at best as was said before the season started
oh and HOW do we have THREE sh1te keepers ??? | | | |

Shocking performance today by the team. Bazunu is just not the answer he just does not move his feet, that said McCarthy is not much better. Manning out of his depth and is crap at best. Mara an absolute joke should not be given a shirt again. Bednarek just keeps gesturing rather than tackling, KWP not interested. Don’t understand why Frazier, Alcatraz and Charles were not starting today looks like we have another stubborn manager who doesn’t know his best 11. God help us gainst Leicester. |  |

At halftime Sky flashes up the expected goal stat. Saints were 0.18! Basically that’s saying to score once, saints would have needed to play for approx 480mins!
Still with all that possession it’s great to watch…. | |
