Saints Fan! 🔴⚪
With Solak now taking charge I hope we have a clear direction and some better decisions on the football side of the club. In the statement he seemed to take aim at some of those failures with a promise to improve. As well as some football appointments that will come very soon... #SaintsFC 1/2

It feels like this really shows how Juric wants to play. High fullbacks getting balls into the box and making it hard to contain them. However it's harder doing it against premier league teams #SaintsFC

Is Sulemana playing for his place or for a transfer... Looking like the player we thought we was #SaintsFC
January 12, 2025 at 4:48 PM
I'm being optimistic and going 2-0 saints with a dominating performance. For us to crumble in the league next week with our confidence back to zero.... #SaintsFC

Even though it's a cup game, today feels like a big moment for Juric. Any initial optimism was knocked back after Brentford which puts pressure on a performance today. Whether it's the players not implementing his ideas, or a more fundamental issue it doesn't really matter #SaintsFC

Well this didn't age well 😬😬😬

It's a huge couple of weeks ahead now for Juric to get his ideas on the pitch and for us to see an improvement
I think today we will see another improvement in style as Juric has had more time to work with the players. Then just one cup game now for the next 12 days should give him more time to implement his ideas. Although we haven't got the results it's been an encouraging start #SaintsFC

I was always undecided about sacking Martin for quite a while. But ultimately the refusal to change when it seemed we weren't improving was the thing that swung it for me. Juric may or may not still work out, but that doesn't mean Martin should have stayed. Sometimes it just goes wrong #SaintsFC 1/2

I think we could see some surprises in the line up today based on some of Juric's comments. Could we see starts for Sulemana and Bella-Kotchap?

Will Big Les be back in the starting 11?

With Fernandes suspended it will be interesting where he goes with the front 3. Something like this? #SaintsFC

The only change I'd make for tomorrow would be Archer in place of Armstrong. Assuming everyone is fit enough to play again #SaintsFC

Good start and we should have scored 2/3 goals. But it's such an improvement we have to be delighted with that #SaintsFC

Feels like we are playing at 100mph on fast forward compared to what we are used to #SaintsFC
December 26, 2024 at 3:19 PM
Come on you Saints... #SaintsFC
December 26, 2024 at 2:52 PM
The line up is largely as expected, the surprises with big Les, Tall Paul, and Armstrong aren't that surprising. I can see Dibling working from the bench. Also good to see Lallana on the bench as he offers something different as well. It could be a big first 45 minutes for a few players #SaintsFC

At home, on boxing day. First games don't come much bigger than they do today for Juric! A good performance with lots of energy will go a long way, and maybe if we can get some sort of result it would be massive to build on #SaintsFC
December 26, 2024 at 11:21 AM
Not long to go... Will there be many surprises in our line up, or is it more about the system than changing the players? On further reflection and looking at Juric's style some more, could we see Manning and big Les start. And maybe Tall Paul leading the line #SaintsFC
I think 9 players might pick themselves for boxing day... I am not confident about Aribo and Dibling. I could see big Les getting a start after Fulham and Dibling coming off the bench. I don't think we will see anything too drastic in the line up, but maybe Juric will surprise us #SaintsFC

Really interesting listening to Juric's first press conference. It's going to take some time until we fully see his system in place. It sounds like he will be pragmatic about it, introducing new things gradually so the players aren't overwhelmed #SaintsFC 1/2
December 24, 2024 at 8:48 AM
Great point today. It wasn't the prettiest of games, but a clean sheet away from home cannot be underestimated this season. Although it felt like we were never going to win the game, it was nice to see us looking more solid and more pragmatic. Let's see what Juric can bring to that #SaintsFC
December 22, 2024 at 6:14 PM
I saw someone complaining that Juric has never had a win rate of more than 40%. I think this really shows the level of delusion amongst the modern football fan. We have had one manager in our premier league history who had a win rate of more than 40%. And that was Koeman... #SaintsFC 1/2
December 20, 2024 at 11:23 AM
Ivan Juric is the man then... #SaintsFC
December 20, 2024 at 8:24 AM
The manager search Rohls on #SaintsFC
December 20, 2024 at 7:59 AM
Sounds like we are conducting interviews today with the managers we have permission to speak to. Alfie has alluded to the 3 names in the media being in the mix, but also we are talking to more than 3 #SaintsFC
December 19, 2024 at 11:48 AM
Will we be Rohling in it by tonight? #SaintsFC
December 19, 2024 at 9:07 AM
Sky are reporting we are in talks with Rohl... Out of all the managers we are linked with this is the one that excites me the most. Maybe it's just because of the previous links with our club. But it would feel like a progressive appointment and we don't know how high his ceiling is #SaintsFC
