Got to say Adams offers nothing up front, no penetration no hold up. was always bemused so many fans wanted him to stay he's never been a goalscorer. We need Armstrong up front interchanging with sulemana and edozie or Fraser. Need more threat from midfield start Alcaraz the only scoring midfielder we have. Charles isn't a CB he is 100% a CDM so play him there. The main weak link for me so far has been manning, complete liability always caught out of position no quality offered. What RM is doing with the full backs just leaves us completely wide open at the back as whoever plays CB gets pulled out wide. The passing lately has become slow and cumbersome unlike the start of the season, what's happening to our club?!?!

You have to ask yourself, what was the interview process for Martin (and Jones)
One thing we can all be certain about; Martin has only one style of play, he believes in his style of play, isn’t going to change it . and is convinced it’s everyone else’s fault it’s not working. including the fact we were relegated!
Not only is his style of play suicidal, it’s easy to play against, easy to beat and easy to read.
I can’t believe the Ipswich player actually came out and said that they knew the pass we were going to make, before we made it! And Martin won’t be embarrassed by that in the slightest.
Add to his playing out from the back, playing around with the ball at the back, we now have his bizarre tactic of pushing our backs forward and in. It’s leaving huge gaps when we lose the ball.
Manning : absolutely awful player. I hadn’t realised that Charles is more a DM, I wondered why his positional play as a CB was so bad. Add to that AA in midfield, while we have a much better attacking midfielder on the bench.
He comes out and says it doesn’t help that he’s not played the same team two weeks running.
But you absolute clown Martin, yes there has been an injury, but YOU are choosing to juggle the team and players for no reason
This is not going to go on for long .

Adams offers nothing - no goal scoring threat since he's arrived at saints, no pace, poor touch, doesn't win aerial duels, and his link up play is sub par. At least with Armstrong he would offer pace in behind and effort. Stephens isn't great but we miss his "leadership". The main issue with RM right now is thinking he can allow kwp to come into cm to make up numbers but all it does is leave the cbs to cover him and when they get dragged out wide were left wide open through the middle, it's schoolboy tactics that we playing around with the ball too deep. Keep balls fine if your higher up the pitch and keeping a bit of buzz and zip to the passing but this lot are being taught that slow lazy play is fine, it's ridiculous

I would like us to sign more than championship mediocrity tbh, the catalyst for our promotions from league 1 and championship were cortese signing prem quality ready players like fonte and proven 20+ every season striker in Lambert not a one off show pony and Hammond a midfield leader, romeu replaced Hammond but fonte and Lambert have never been replaced those three were leaders.

I think with a front 3 of tella, alcaraz and sulemana they would blow most teams away. A formidable front 3 for even prem teams pace directness etc. We need a midfield enforcer or 2 to play alongside small one. Bree is good enough for RB but if we keep tino then he's going to be playing week in/out just leaves us needing a lb though I quite like perraud, 2 center Half's and a goalkeeper. Che, bednarek et Al can all move on happily in my books
