We’ve played 4 games of a 38 game season, in the first three of which we were loyal to last season’s players.
We lost two games by the odd goal, and silly mistakes. We were punished at Brentford for mistakes too.
Today we were the better team for 30 minutes. And, for me,we didnt look like a bad team at all.
We messed up the pen and then got sucker punched twice.
Our subs didn’t improve us.
This talk of sacking RM or of when we’re going to relegated is ridiculous.
Thank God it’s RM motivating the team rather than this message board.
There are 34 four games still to play. Thirty four. FFS. |  |

I’ve always firmly believed that good coaches improve players by creating good team organisation and spirit. I remember Clough and Taylor’s work at Derby and Nottingham Forest.
Yes I know times have changed , but the rules are still the same, more or less.
I can’t see that our coaching and management ,at this time, are up to it, at this level.
I always remember Saints as being a very astute football club in transfer dealings, we very rarely signed duds. Nowadays it seems we rarely get value for money but seem to sign players who fail or who never get the opportunity to prove their worth. Recruitment has been poor and youth development stifled. | | | |

Agreed, an hysterical reaction to what was always going to be a season that would likely end in relegation. |
Maybe if he didn't come across as so intransigent and bloody-minded he might get more sympathy? Playing Stephens and tippy tappy doesn't help. The glaring example of Burnley last season should be a salutory lesson for him - but Martin knows best and everyone else is wrong. |  |

Last year Bednarek and Bellis formed the central defensive partnership we've been looking for for a long time. They can do the same this season, particularly with big Les sitting in front of them.
KWP, Sugawara, Dibbling and Ferdandes (a level up on Alcarez) all look good going forward and should be able to create chances for our strikers.
Downes and Lallana can perhaps make up a solid midfield.
And Archer and Armstrong should both be able to finish inside the area, with Diaz or Stewart maybe becoming the big No.9 we haven't had for a while.
And I am due a visit to the opticians, as it happens - thanks for the reminder... |
Downes and Lallana can make up a solid midfield! Maybe in another galaxy but not in the frenzy of a Premier League game. We need a double pivot of Downes and Big Les to protect the back four. | | | |
