11 points out of the last 30. Not great!
Quote from: villadelph on January 27, 2021, 08:19:05 PMIt baffles me how that approach to football can be "successful" in a league like this. It's not like they're even building a firm foundation and seeking to improve with a 2-year plan. They're just a stubborn, shithouse club that employs dinosaurs. Its a shame their tactics yield results, because quite frankly its League 1 crap. That said, we should be ashamed and embarrassed. We could have and should have put 5 in the bag tonight. There's no excuse for letting a club like Burnley score 3 goals, its hard to believe we have so many clean sheets after tonight's lackluster performance. I think we should mix it up for Southampton.. I wasn't impressed with Barkley, Traore still needs to discover the importance his role defensively and Mings really needs to have a good look at himself. This one hurts - and I hope its a wake up call. Their football is shite. Game after game they rely on Pope to save them. They're fucking shocking.

However you know they play for and practise set pieces, you know they cross early without even looking and just hope for a nod down. It's like Wimbledon of old to a degree along with the fouling.
hard to be overly critical as we're on track for a miles better season
