Dr Who?

With our set of favourable fixtures this should not be the case, as long as we approach them all with the attitude that EVERY game is tough. Also can we please only play out from the back when it is appropriate to do so. I’m all for playing football, but there is a time to get rid.

Saints team and fans seemed to turn up with the mentality of expecting a win. Fans were flat, with a flat celebration for the goal. The team were even more laboured than normal, seemed like they wanted to bore the opposition into defeat. Their goal was coming as they pressured us more and more and we continued to try and play out from the back. Still unsure how their goal went it. Not a great watch that.

Looking forward to this one with the boy. Let’s hope this time it is 3 points.

Yep, us when we last got promotion to the premier league after only getting promotion from league 1 the season before. Also Norwich the season before us did the same.

Leeds have only just started to put a good run together and look good. Only a point ahead of us. I would say they were more settled. We lost 2 very key players during the first few games of the season. Ipswich remind me of us when we came up from league 1. They are very together and have a ‘team’ mentality that are settled and playing for each other. I do keep saying it will never last, but they score plenty, but also ship goals. Very entertaining to watch.

Yes but Leicester did their business and sorting out transfers very early on. We held on to players into the season and held out for the best deals, which of course is great for the money situation, but not for getting a settled team playing to the system the manager wants them to. I still think we play a little too laboured in possession and need to add a bit of zip and directness to our game. I think we are moving in the right direction for sure, but apart from Leeds at home all our wins have been by 1 goal (which does the job) but we should be taking teams apart with our team.

Was the same at Preston and that was only a draw! But you have to live the moment, or you will never celebrate!

As a football club and fans of a football club, you always want to do the best you can. This season so far I want us to go back up, and that is what it is all about, but I do not miss the premier league and I do not miss VAR. I would not mind this for a while, but then I want us to celebrate going up. It’s really strange but natural.

I saw this title and cannot get GLC out of my head, ‘Guns don’t kill people rabbits do’. Thanks.

We should give WR his first win of the season. Seems we like to kick start seasons. Saying this we did not give Preston a re-kick start. 1-1.

Well, he actually did score a goal. Great day for him.

Missed last week as was busy, but only missed a home hammering. We are back on top the table after a 0-2 away win at Watford.

Nice clean sheet! Big step.

Got this one listed. Perfect condition. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166357618648

Hi, I did list these in an area of the forum that I do not believe many enter, and I was hoping this could stay in the main forum until the end of tomorrow when the auctions end. Provably the worse time to try and get supporters to buy old Saints shirts since League 1 on minus 10 points, but all the money will be going to my Just Giving Page Collection, which was primarily set up for the great north run, which has been and gone… like these shirts! ALL the money on this page goes to MIND nationwide and not just the local MIND on my tee shirt in the photo. So if you can please bid, if only to get some kind of money for this great cause. Thanks to everyone who has donated, it means the world to me. 😊 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166338945269 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166340635523 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166340644986 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166342201774 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166342207799 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166342268464 https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/kevin-sim4?fbclid=IwAR0eOvoVbl7WHcGoFf-RjhrhI6UWo_h-TeMH-YANBfnDHTc2BoTYh1Ma3sg

These times would be more bearable if we actually won some silverware during the ‘good times’. Apart from the top 6/7 in the premier league ALL the other teams have and will again spend time In the 2nd tier or lower in the next 10 years. For me it is about grabbing these moments when you are on top of your game and getting to finals and winning trophies 🏆

I can honestly say that the people’s republic of Carlisle do not give a flying feck about Southampton, let alone be laughing at them. There are far too many past premier league teams fecking it all up in the championship. Stoke being one of them today, Norwich another yesterday. Honestly we will spend many years like all these old premier league clubs floating around this league. The teams that have done things better in recent years are those that have completely rebuilt from lower down the league pyramid including ourselves. Leicester, Norwich, Brighton, Bournemouth, Luton, Coventry (not so much), Ipswich, Brentford. I’m sure there are others. We care as we are right in the middle of the circus 🤡. I spoke to my neighbour Villa fan this morning and he did not even know how we got on. 🤷🏽

Even though I am starting to think that RM might need to be shown the exit, I do believe it is about time the board and the owners started getting stick off the crowd. After all it is them that sacked Ralph, and have since replaced him with 3 managers who were completely inept! They have also tried to buy the Man City youth team and now let RM buy players from Swansea, who sit near the bottom of the table and hardly set the championship alight last season, another club in decline. We have also sold some of our highly rated assets, that I believe if we had kept we would have been setting this league on fire on the showing against Wednesday. On top of this they have been very slow in reacting to obvious problems with the management set up, costing us time when trying to stay up last season and I can see us drifting in mid table and then changes being made when we are already cut adrift. They need to be more ruthless and decisive and make a change, because everyone else can see, or are starting to see that this manager is not right. When do they make the changes? We are already 9 points behind the leaders and that will soon be 20 if we carry on like we are. Why are the fans not protesting against the owners. They have screwed us over as a club and are draining the finances for replacements to get us back in the top flight, or at least make this season more fun and enjoyable. The time is now! Bloody do something and be proper owners and stop destroying our club!

We had pretty much close to 2k fans at Sunderland and I can tell you before kick off in this game it was very positive and upbeat. Russell Martin came over and clapped us before the teams came out, and pretty much from the 6th minute of that game at 0-2 down the great start to the season flipped on its head. They will get good support again, but it will turn, if things start to go wrong again on the pitch. We need to take the lead for sure.

Oh good. I have tickets for this one and Preston away. I might put a hold on any future ordering of tickets me thinks.

Done.

Oh there it is! 😡

Building from the back? nearly 35 minutes no shots on target from each side, is an approvement from the defence. Just need to make sure the first shot from Ipswich does not go through mr invisible

I will check out the NETFLIX series. 👍
