Southampton Unity needed Now With Safety Assured
Those that predicted doom and gloom were disappointed after Sunday’s games saw Saints safe ahead of the last two games and the predicted Armageddon avoided, now that Saints will be in the Premier League for sure next season it is time for a new era and everyone singing from the same hymsheet.
With Leeds only able to draw with Brighton, saints can now celebrate their 10th consecutive season back in the top flight knowing that they will be playing Premier League football next season.
It is now irrevelant what has happened in the previous 36 games and to be blunt the next two games.
We now start a new era at St Mary’s with new owners and some of the financial restrictions loosened , ok we won’t be spending big money, but we can survive and prosper and move forward by fine tuning what we have done well for the past 10 years.
But we can’ achieve this if the fan base is divided and not behind the new owners, we have to give them a chance to fine tune things and show what they can do before we pass judgement.
We have to start to get a siege mentality and banish this culture of panicking every time something looks like going wrong.
We should all want success for the club, so it it not fair to say that we should start with a clean sheet and give everyone a chance.
The past is the past but the future is unwritten.
What to read next:
Stoke AwaydazeOur visit to Stoke City is on Boxing Day evening, with kick-off at 8pm, having been put back by our very good friends at Sky Sports.
Preston AwaydazeOur visit to Deepdale is on Saturday, with a 12.30pm kick off, and once again we’re live on Sky Sports. As the name Preston North End suggests, the stadium is a mile or so to the north of the town centre.
Leeds ease to comfortable win over DerbyThe game played out as most of the fans on both sides would have predicted, apart from the identity of the two goalscorers. It took a while for us to break down a stubborn Derby County defence, but once we had scored the two goals there was only going to be one way this game was going to finish.
Leeds drawn at home to Harrogate in the FA CupTonight’s draw for the third round of the FA Cup threw up several local derbies, and the most enticing of all must be our all-Yorkshire clash with Harrogate Town, with the two clubs being only 15 miles apart.
Disappointing Leeds go down at BlackburnOur defeat to Blackburn Rovers has caused plenty of moaning on social media, while Daniel Farke has blamed our hectic fixture schedule. But it was a shame the team picked the game with our biggest travelling support of the season to serve up one of their worst away performances.
Blackburn AwaydazeThis season’s trip to Blackburn Rovers is tomorrow with kick-off at 1.30, provided the pitch has dried out enough after last week’s postponement. Once again it looks like we’ll be taking the biggest away following in the Championship this season.
Farke sees room for improvement despite victoryLeeds duly went back to the top of the table with a fairly routine victory over Luton Town, but Daniel Farke thought the win should have been even more emphatic when he spoke to the BBC after the game.
Leeds fighting spirit wins through as we beat Swansea to go topLeeds were twice behind in this incredible game at Swansea City, and then seemed to have victory snatched away right at the death. But each time we fought back and our sheer determination finally secured the victory that we needed to finish the weekend on top of the Championship.
