Reply		We will have 4 points at Xmas

We saw towards the end of last season that opponents in the Championship had cottoned on to how to counter ponderous Russball. There's no guarantee that Saints would be even close to promotion next time.

at 13:18 31 Oct 2024

By putting the ball in the back of the net Bree actually did lose possession. In fact he handed Stoke possession to an unmarked player as far upfield as the half way line. RM will no doubt have had a quiet word with the lad about the need to keep those possession stats going in the right direction.

Does anyone know what we should expect to see at the end of this 10 year plan? Chances are that I'll not be here to see it but it'd be nice to know.

Loads of possession and doing nothing with it. In fact Everton have had more shots.

Might as well stick Tall Paul on the bench then. It'd at least provide an emergency option in case of another fruitless afternoon in front of goal.

"Yellows" worked just fine in 1976 but in this case why not just substitute "reds" with "Saints"?

Might as well drop Baz for the remaining pre-playoff friendlies. Can't really see much point in persevering with a 'keeper that concedes so many.
If not then start looking around for a new manager to see what can be done next season in the Championship. If even the director of football has seen the shape of things to come then make the break now.

Reply		Postponement Shows Moving Away Fans Is Folly

Good grief! That's a pretty poor grasp at a straw. Moving the away fans to the place where than can have least influence is surely Rule No.1. To place them in front of the TV cameras right behind the goal was always bonkers. Yet another thing that Lowe got wrong.

It really doesn't matter. Saints will be entering the play-off lottery. Great if it ends in a triumph at Wembley but Saints don't have a good record in those life and death games.

It's almost a relief for the hope to be extinguished.

Reply		Playing out from the back
at 10:52 29 Feb 2024

In the first half last night Saints passed the ball neatly and quickly out of defence on a number of occasions which resulted in some good attacking scenarios. If we had attackers who were composed enough to actually turn those opportunities into goals then it might be possible to defend the risk/reward tactics at least some of the time.

As it is last night showed yet again that Saints run out of ideas far too often in the final third and that makes the tippy-tappy passing in defence pretty much all risk and very little reward. At the very least mix it up with some long balls in behind more often.

Leeds to win promotion as champions with a convincing win on the last day of the season? Wouldn't be surprised.

Automatic promotion is a very long shot now. Saints will now very likely stumble towards the play-offs where more disappointment lies in wait. That's my expectation anyway.

Two goals down early on in 3 games out of 4? Seems to me that the team isn't being set up properly tactically, mentally and physically.

Leeds and Ipswich have found a winning mentality. If anyone seriously thinks that last day game at Elland Rd will mean anything it'll probably only be a question of whether Leeds pip Leicester for top spot. Saints need to start planning for the play-offs and hope they don't meet Hull.

I've had a dream that Saints go there with Leeds needing a win by 5 goals to take 2nd place and are 3-0 up at half time. No idea what happens after that.

All set up for an almost fit Stewart to replace a tiring Ings late on in the play off final and score a last minute winner.

"Play-offs are the best we can hope for. That was the aim before the season started"

That's not the message I was hearing at the start of the season. I seem to remember that the owners wanted promotion and we're falling well short of that currently.
