Day 15 Urgent Action Needed

It is now day 15 of the transfer window and Saints supporters are now starting to get impatient !

Day 15 of the transfer window has opened with plenty of rumour but still absolutely no signings, a situation that even the most patient of Saints supporters are getting a little worried about.

With money to spend and a situation that although not quite worsening is still very much a real code red scenario, most would have thought that at least one new name would be going on the back of the shirt by now.

But perhaps the biggest issue is now the manager, once again at Watford he failed to be pro active and failed to make substitutions at the right time, the fact that we went into injury time without using our second sub was incomprehensible, if he had made that change then perhaps it would have broken the game up and the result and indeed Saints League position would be far better this morning.

But he failed to make that change and break the game up and we paid a big price, one that could cost us dearly come May, it is little tactical decisions like this that are the difference between a manager failing or succeeding and at the moment the manager appears to be out of his depth and failing badly.

Most Saints fans I have spoken to do not dislike Pellegrino, they would love him to suddenly put a run of wins together and move us up the table and start to show that he is the man for the job, but week in week out he is failing to do that and more and more I am finding it difficult to find even one Saints supporters who has the faith in him to want him to stay.

Claude Puel came in for stick around this time last year, but there were still plenty of people willing to give him time and a chance to show he was the man, Pellegrino does not seem to have any support at all amongst the fan base.

So day 15 could be crucial and a turning point in Saints history, it could not only see a new face in, but could see one going out as surely Les Reed can see that things are not right, there are clearly issues in the dressing room and when your three record signings are on the bench and only one of them actually gets on the pitch for any meaningful time, something is going wrong somewhere.
