Buncha $h*t Kickers.
...and a mealy-mouthed Dixon commentating on their capabilities. Sums up the year. The club is a joke. It rewards mediocrity in administration, coaching and playing. Might just hang onto my pensioner $s until real change is implemented. It’ll be 50 odd years, next year since the one and only...

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: Buncha $h*t Kickers.
Not sure about your maths but our continuing employment of Dixon really riles me.

Why didn't the other commentators interview Ben Dixon about how he has turned us into the most inaccurate club in the competition?
And why the hell do we continue to employ this brain dead idiot?

SACK DIXON NOW
Said longs goal was a fluke - he has kicked about 4 like that that I can remember
Said dunstan was never going to kick his goal as he had no confidence
Unbearable to listen to

Re: Buncha $h*t Kickers.
When you play like we do for so many years and still retain interest we just have to get used to the Dixons and other assorted dheads being patronising, condescending, insulting, disrespectful and infuriating. Wouldn't it be good to actually improve and possibly make a finals game. Oh to dream.

Re: Buncha $h*t Kickers.
Hard decisions over the preseason
you have these players who can mark, and win the ball...but can't kick goals!!
It is crippling!! It is particularly crippling as a supporter trying to enjoy the game. The swans fans got so much more cartharsis. So frequently their players could just kick it through the big sticks.
I would say it is time to move several of these players on. Though it is very difficult. Even I like them and wish they could improve kicking..but how long should we wait?

Re: Buncha $h*t Kickers.
I honestly can’t remember any team (not just the saints) that butchers as many chances and struggles to put it through the big sticks as much as this team.ralphsmith wrote: ↑Sat 24 Aug 2019 8:52pm Hard decisions over the preseason

Re: Buncha $h*t Kickers.
No. I think Matt Finnis should give him a contract extension. Stability is good for the club and we don't want to risk any other clubs pinching himsilverhalo wrote: ↑Sat 24 Aug 2019 9:40pm Dixon is a di&*head and a total waste of space and money.....get rid of him
I could tell that Dixon wasn't getting results after a full preseason and the first 2-3 months of lats year
I mean seriously!?! How long does it take before you realise that someone is s*** at their job.

Re: Buncha $h*t Kickers.
Firstly, blame our Recruiters and secondly, our Development people - all professionally useless.
The players are being being "very" highly paid to play football. That primarily means "kicking." if they can't kick, then hire/recruit those that can - that's what they are being paid for.

Re: Buncha $h*t Kickers.
Good clubs attract good people unfortunately we struggle to do this.
Time Dixon is moved on alongwith the list manager signing mediocre players on contract extensions.
What hope have we got as a club..
MY MEMBERHIP OF 40 YEARS WILL BE ON HOLD.
JUST HAD A GUTFUL .

Re: Buncha $h*t Kickers.
Goal kicking is not rocket science.
Dixon marketed himself as the holder of mythical secrets of along-lost dark art that few others could teach.
I actually think recruiting Dixon is a big part of the problem. It elevated our goal-kicking problem so much that I reckon a lot of our players actually believe that they are poor kicks for goal. The longer we have problems, the longer he keeps his job (to a point).
Get rid of Dixon, focus on plenty of basic skills training (goal kicking as one part of that) and do some work with a psychologist to make sure you believe in yourself when kicking for goal.
