Saints At Tottenham Hotspur The Verdict
at 16:04:30

poor planning leads often to poor results, when we let cedric go we knew we had no RB for this replay, and although injury to ward prowse was both sad and unlucky we disrupted a successful midfield paring and worse had no sub on bench to resolve rb problem so we then disrupted a defence that was improving. Stephens has finally learnt to play CB and was inline for player of month as proof, however flexible he is not as RB he was poor defensively. Romeo was a great player sadly not this season on subs bench a midfield replacement zero. The moment deli ali came on and spurs attacked at pace we were split open, penalty was soft but one pass and son clean thru not a cb in site.
I understand premiership survival is priority but with a home tie with Norwich what an opportunity to please us fans with cup run wasted, we played great for 70 minutes sadly a game lasts 90

Saints At Everton The Verdict
at 16:07:44

Do you remember those heady days when koeman fell out with Reid,because he said u23 s were not good enough and we needed to strengthen team but Kat with her stooge Kruger wanted different somebody elses money Reid believed he was god as bids for all his players kept the money coming in then the slide began. Kat got her way its Gao's money now Reid following a 4 yr slide finds a home in England international proving you can fool some of the people, we got Ralph and following early enthusiasm which we avoided relegation we continued with stupidity no new defenders except a 19yr old, Ralf lost what little backup in assistant manager and director of football and we are surprised . There is no quick fix apart from a influx of cash which is not going to happen, a new manager wont get our defense to be premier class because the players aren't, joshi good squad player vesta and stephens are at best championship level so we will continue to leak goals ward prowse great at dead ball can a team have a player who can only do that we are 100% going to be relegated as we are the worst team in the league,

its simple really saints only interested in youth at all levels all young inexperienced people all go getters but no experience of life so guess what in a crisis no idea what to do. W e cant survive because no one has a clue, ralph is lost who can he turn to we have an average squad which are performing badly because no leadership every player is worse this season than before our chairman wants self sufficiency in the championship that is no deal only relegation again

Saints V Manchester United The Verdict
at 16:08:43

Its amazing how we all see game differently. I thought Cedric was the worst player by far not backed up by Ward prowse who was in pass back mode again. Thought Vesterguard man of match but truthfully apart from when Boufal attacked from middle when on wing was totally in pocket of bissaka, we were totally toothless too many long balls but apart from james running cedric run ragged were very good in defense.
United also toothless in midfield thanks to pogba for another uninspiring display and Rashford having a day off.
Great result though.

Saints V Liverpool The Verdict
at 20:21:13

reality is Liverpool like united had an off day but we still could not win or draw yet again we dont work hard enough when it matters even if was offside Liverpool chased a ball to the touchline we were slow , second goal great finish why was he not taken out on half way line 3rd goal yoshi was jogging back when firmino was one on one no cover cross goal. We are still in relagation zone relying on cardiff to be worst than us
40 yrs a saints supporter now im done as a season ticket holder love new manager but no faith in board bar before game have choice larger or beer my bar had no beer that is pathetic shows complete lack of respect of supporters our club will be in relegation battle next year as we will not support manager

Saints At Arsenal The Verdict
at 20:10:32

Did anyone see stevens jogging back having lost ball in a very bad position and therein lies the problem when you are the weaker team and lets face it we cant compete with arsenal so only chance work twice as hard as them we did but only when 2 0 down. Truth is stevens is not premiership level sadly for ralph neither are yoshida or vestiguard up front we have one striker and he is injured we have not only no hope of surviving but little hope of returning whilst we believe in our management structure,ralph aside, who actually understand football. Do we have any player who could get into a premier side aside from a few maybes truthfully no, if you have philosophy of buying young talent great but it has to continue not just assume we have a black box guess what so does everyone else we(supporters) have been screwed by greedy management.

Saints At Fulham The Verdict
at 15:11:58

I hate to tell you all this there is a manger who could save us if we react before window closes Big Sam, as much like probable the majority I am no fan of his tactics he is what we need. He would get a centre back would shore up our defence.. Leaking goals is what breaks/loses confidence every saints player (probable Fulham as well) knew when we scored we would concede normal routine followed as we conceded two, then miracle we score two goals in a game but never fear our defence three involved plus two midfelders not close enough to stop cross give away a third.
So reality check big sam or relegation, remember how bad Everton were defensively when we scored four, we need a manager with premier experience a pocket book of contacts who is defensive minded and gets points any way he can it wont be pretty.
If our numbskill of a board think otherwise see you in championship which I don't believe we will get out of.

Saints At Manchester City The Verdict
at 09:52:46

Ok so we sack manager, but who chooses replacement, presumeable Reid and his cohorts who with the exception of Koeman (who Reid and rest of management fell out with, Koeman also said none of academy good enough as none first team guess hes right) Ward Prowse was in Koemans first team squad.
Reids not done a good job last three selections uninspiring at best, transfers poor in the main and no academy hopefuls what is point of replacing manager with the same recruitment team.
We need a serious shake up this is third poor year and if we survive (which will only be because three below us are as bad and may perform worse) nothing changes but team manager we will have 4 bad years. Something has to rattle chairmans cage maybe relegation would if not and he remains aloof/uninvolved there is no hope.
I have two season tickets for sale if anyones interested.

Saints Survey Ill Timed And Innapropriate
at 21:57:02

What i found staggering about survey has any member of marketing ever tried the pre/half time product and services. I believe they must have system designed not only to have the cheapest products to ensure greatest markup but also they must be inedible or undrinkable but since you cant go elsewhere like it or lump it oh and to add insult we will make you wait as long as possible by ensuring staff are untrained unmotivated (no bonus system) and poorly paid. At half time unless you leave game 10 mins before end of first half cannot get served until second half starts and its been like that for 5+ years all of which until last 2 years not a problem as we were watching good football now we have football at same standard as service(and dont blame staff) ie crap.
In any good management system senior management visit the shop floor talk to people at sharp end ours obviously don't presume this applies to training ground since it appears performance on pitch has no bearing on selection, cedric, hoed and redmond despite glaring errors and poor performance start every week. Long bless him works hard but cant score but we pick him as a lone striker or bring him on when losing and need a goal.
i believe our only chance is to be relegated and maybe our owner may realise how poor his management is, three poor managers( i include hughes - based on stats), Stoke had worst goals againts when he was sacked and look at us now )a scouting team responsible for huge outlay( by our standards) half of which are on loan and some people still believe there is no crisis how bad does it have to get!
apologise for lengh of rant

Saints Fans Need To Get Behind The Team And Stop The Hysteria
at 13:45:48

It is difficult to not be depressed as a season ticket holder when we are traate so disrespectfully. After last season woeful football tol new one would change but I still wonder how bad you have to play to be dropped( hoed giving away 4 goals , same for cedric and shane need i say more). Then there is hospitality we have a bright red carpet cost ? yet first home game two tills on bar and food counter unmanned one bar closed as was hot dog stand. So even though we sell the worst overpriced food/drink products( hot dogs are cheapest available and wine is actually undrinkable) which i have ordered as by the time you are served no time to drink pint. This has gone on for years but when team is playing well can be ignored but watching a bad performance just adds insult to injury, and you tell me get behind team why they sure don't care about supporters. i renewed in hope but fear same again as last 2 years.

Saints V Leicester City The Verdict
at 13:48:16

Does our manager ever look at opposition, we were playing againts two giant centre backs and yet insist on crossing to our 5ft 10 strikers play Elyounnousi wide when as Redman proved with our goal neither CBs liked being run at. Last week ignore pace of wilcott and paid. Should have played Long wide as cant hit barn door but would work hard and let Ely run at defence as no. 10 role.How bad do you have to play before manager changes it cedric was in trouble all second half before goal cockup always bombing forward to no effect( poor crossing ) and was constantly exposed in defence.We are in relegation battle and am not confident we are better than other three candidates.

Saints V Watford The Verdict
at 12:39:03

We were playing well sometimes pressing high up the pitch with both Boufal and Tadic tracking back, Cedric has taken a battering and yet our manager changes to 532. taking off boufal. Firstly when somethings working why change, but if you are going to change one assumes it has been practiced in training and everyone knows their new role. Clearly not true stevens from looking comfortable became spare and was totally confused, Cedric had protection from winger tracking back suddenly is two on one, and when we do get the ball everyone looking wide where no one is. We survived appalling tactical change by Watfords incompetence, over hitting several crosses and even with three centre backs there are two unmarked guys on back post which thankfully missed the target. This is not premier experience but basic coaching technique I am seriously worried we are not one of the three worst teams in prem in terms of squad, but playing as we do we will go down. Please board change something .manager or tactics,
