We lost 4 in a row towards the start of last season, including a 5-0 capitulation at Sunderland followed by a 4-1 home demolition by Leicester. Many fans were wetting themselves and crying for his head then, much like they are now, some even suggesting we were in danger of getting relegated.
I've been going to Saints games for nearly 40 years and can count on one hand how many seasons we've had that can be deemed successful. We're never going to get anywhere if fans want every manager we get sacked all the time because they think they know best. We've had around 20 managers in the last 20 years ffs which is a massive contributing factor why we end up stuck with so many players the next man doesn't want, plus endless managerial compensation payouts. |

How many managers in the last 20 years have we had that a large proportion of fans haven't wanted sacked at one point or another? I can only think of Adkins and Koeman, which suggests that unrealistic expectations are more of an issue.
Even though the constant fannying around with it at the back is ridiculously stupid, to want the bloke that got us promoted the season before sacked, after just 3 games, is bonkers. We were always going to struggle this season, no matter who is in charge. |

If you ignore the amount of middle aged blokes there were squeezed into those hideous pink kits, the rest of the ground looked like it was full of theatre goers. No-one stood, no-one sang, it appeared completely dead.
No matter how hideous it was in the abomination that is the Wall, I think it’ll be a case of sucking it up and dealing with it...for this season at least. |

Spot on. I like to talk about these issues and get differing opinions, but it's very hard to in today's world without instantly getting a label stuck on you or having to debate with someone who thinks they're morally superior. [Post edited 2 Aug 15:12]

I can't see how encouraging more babies or immigration can possibly be a good thing on an island that's already over-populated and has a completely inadequate infrastructure. |

Dibbling played majority of the game and did well. Was always looking to drive forward with the ball and go past people. One of the few positives. |

Not wanting to be left out of this thread I’ve just looked into my own season ticket and to my horror, I am also registered as Mx, yet my 17 year old is a Mr.
This is fvcking outrageous and I’ll be demanding a public apology from the club for misgendering my pronouns  |

Centre Back is the last position we need strengthening in. |

People are definitely being overly optimistic, which I don’t blame them for. There’s a feel good factor at SFC now along with the possibility the momentum from last season continues.
How we start is crucial for me as our first 6 games are all winnable, so if we get a healthy points return on those, I can see a togetherness and resilience building to carry us through. However, the Premier League is very unforgiving, so it’s probably more realistic to expect us to revert to type with some horror show performances and a total capitulation. |

Exactly. Some managers are just so stubborn; blindly sticking to their methods and preferred personnel even when everything points to changing things up.
Much like Rusty got lucky with Bazunu getting injured towards the end of last season which forced him to play McCarthy and therefore drastically reduced the amount of fvcking around with it at the back. If Bazunu wouldn't have got injured, we wouldn't have got promoted imo. [Post edited 1 Jul 15:39]
