I hope any ground improvements go well. For us Saints fans I want St. Marys to embrace the heart that was at the Dell. We are all feeling down at the present but Saints are our club and the fans are the life and soul of it. The Dell to me was like a family.It was a funny old place with its ammonia filled loos,and what felt like sawdust falling on you when you stood under the West stand and above stamped their feet.The Terraces could tell some stories,but what about those games and those players? We had to move to improve and now our stadium is better. The old faces are still there with the young. Forget the failings of the Manager and Owners,they will come and go. The Loyal fans will still be there because they are the soul of the club. I'm proud of being a Saints fan,my most memorable moment was in 76,winning the FA Cup with my best mate sobbing and making my shoulder wet at the final whistle at Wembley. To the players ,win or lose tomorrow,just give it your best effort. I have my brick in the wall at St Marys, its not going anywhere . If things dont go our way just sing this loud and clear
Play Onuachu in the box with Archer or Armstrong alongside him,put balls up to them at every opportunity and see if it works. Will that happen of course it wont,not with this manager.
I really don’t get this downer on Onuachu, he’s never had a run in the team,mostly it’s been a few minutes in the second half and then he isn’t given the ball in the box.I’m not saying he is the answer but to keep deriding him won’t help us or him.
I suggest that atmosphere would change if We hadn't lost 12 of our 15 games. We didn't have a manager who refuses to change his tactics that don't work. We didn't have owners who gave Martin a 3 year contract. We didn't have so many happy clappers who seem to be happy at losing. We didn't have so many fans that want to sing about Pompey even tho they are not even in our division. If we could score more goals. If we could buy some decent players in January with a new manager. I don't think Sports Republic have under invested but have wasted what they have and now seem too embarrassed to do anything about it.
They may be prepared to give Martin more time but they wont have any of mine. They are going to leave it till its too late,if they haven't already. Ridiculous,not in the slightest bit interested now.
To play out from the back in the Premiership you have to have very good players to do it. Once you lose the ball most Premiership clubs have the quality players to punish you. Never been a fan of passing out from the back(particularly the way we do) because when you lose the ball your opponent has the ball close to your goal. What I don't get about Martin is he cannot see its not working,we have played 15 games and lost 12. Communication is certainly not one of Martins(if any) strong points. Whats the latest on Stewart and Tall Paul et etc? He plays players out of position,team selection is erratic and his substitutions even more so. The straw that broke the Camels back has been his criticism of fans wanting the ball forward rather than sideways. The owners letting this drag on need to have a good look at themselves because the fans had had enough.
