"I would say that at the start of the season we had a squad capable of avoiding relegation, but not much more, but we weren't as bad as some would make out."
Utter rubbish Nick. We did not. Maybe we should have been closer to Leicester and Ipswich but nowhere near good enough to stay up. Look at the next worst squad to the promoted clubs, Wolves, and you can see the difference. They have a striker the CL clubs will be looking to sign in the Summer ffs. |  |

Why is it utter rubbish, if you take 3 games where we threw away points and got a bad Var call
Ipswich home hold on thats 2 more points, 1 off Ipswich.
Leicester home hold on to 2-0 lead that is 3 points to us and 3 off Leicester.
Wolevs way, bad VAR call etc if we had won that game then 3 points to us and 3 off Wolves.
If that was the case then the table would now be.
Wolves 19 points
Saints 17 points
Ipswich 16 points
Leicester 14 points
Those were 3 games where things didn't go for us and easily could have, so what it shows is that, what I am saying was not "Utter Rubbish" it could easily have been the case.
If those 3 games had gone for us, then perhaps we would have picked up more points in other games, but i am not putting them into the equation.
What is "Utter Rubbish" is when people don't look at circumstances and just blindly look at League tables to give an opinion. |  |

Utter rubbish Nick. Any club in history can say if this happened, if that happened, etc they would be on 10 points more.
The reality is we have won two games since the season started in August and are on track not just to be the worst team in the PL (for the 2nd time in 3 seasons) but also the worst club in the history of the PL.
We are just very bad in all areas of the pitch. Our MF is painfully weak and has no PL quality in it and our striking options are/were laughably bad with the now departed Armstrong and Brerton and Shite Paul and the arrowless Archer. As I said just compare our squad to the next worst non promoted team in Wolves. They are light years ahead of us.
I'm not sure what you are trying to defend Nick? The owners as usual? It's a massive f'k up to have spent all the money they have and have the sub-standard squad we have.
There is no other reason for SR to be racking up their 2nd relegation in 2 PL seasons. It's laughable to try to pin it on bad luck and VAR. | |

You are right it is the reality, and you are right every club can say that they didn't get the rub of the green, otherwise they would have done this or that.
I am not defending anything other than the fact that I originally said that I thought we had a squad with a chance of staying up at the start of the season.
As I said with luck in just 3 games we would have had a fighting chance, so my claim is not utter rubbish, it just highlights that with a decision or two in our favour and perhaps a defender doing his job on 4/5 occasions we might have had a chance.
What is utter rubbish is the fact your claim that we are "on track" to be the worst Premier League team in history, at the moment we are averaging 3.33 points per game, if we keep up that average then it will give us 3.63 points which netted down to 3 is enough to give us 12 points at the end of the season and beat Derby's 11 point record low.
Lets leave it there. | |

Well I guess Juric has won 1 game in 10 so there's a chance he can win 1 more in the next 11 and we do have to play one of our fellow promotees so we could scrape 12 points.
Still, we will be relegated by 20+ points and if you really think the squad SR had assembled at the start of the season gave us a chance of staying up you are utterly deluded or know nothing about modern football. | |

So, it's Danny Rohl lined up then. Underwhelmed at best, but I suppose he can do no worse than Russel Martin, and Ivan Juric.
We had 7yrs before we returned to The Premier League following our Relegation under Arry Redcrap in 2005. ( Russel Martin's fluke Promotion last season, only 1yr after Relegation was more luck than judgement )
Given the mess we are in now, I think our return following Relegation this season, will be much longer.
Oh well, Up The Saints. Onwards and Upwards. |  | | |

We might beat Wolves.
We might beat Leicester.
Maybe Palace.
But where on earth are the goals coming from.
Onuachu isn’t even Championship standard.
Archer? No.
But then we could also get royally thumped in all three.
A Championship side with a Premier League goalkeeper. |  |

It was the questions we had wrong. |

Palace are 3rd in the form table of the last 6 games, winning 4, so f'k all chance of beating them! | |

A 7-year gap to return to the Prem would sort of fit in with Sport Republic's 10-year plan though, yes?  |  |
