Great word incombency - don't see it enough

I wasn't sticking up for him ability wise just took issue with the word "poisonous" which is just wrong.

This is a good post apart from alleging Jack Stephens "is poisonous to team harmony". The bloke absolutely bleeds red and white these days (see his reaction to the goals v QPR). Eckert has won two games vs very average opponents, but you only have to look at Sheffield's goal last Saturday to see how muddled the thinking still is. Baz played it short, there were a couple more short passes until we passed ourselves into a tight situation which resulted in Manning (I think it was) hoofing it diagonally upfield where it went straight to the guy who then ran on and scored. it was utter suicidal Russell Martin type moronic garbage. (By the way I see there are two saddoes voting for Martin on here - WTF).

So the least worst option has suddenly become the Mesiah? My God we are really up that creek without rowing implements.

When Lowe was looking to save a few bob (wouldn't let Moyes bring in his back room staff) he went for Stuart Gray which was pretty short lived and then, of course, having not learned his lesson that promoting from within rarely works, went for Steve Wigley. Again it soon imploded. I think it was Liverpool who went down the Shankley, Paisley, Fagan route who first convinced the football world promoting from within works. We are no Liverpool.

Juric about to be sacked by Atalanta - just saying.

Maybe he's got more interesting things to do today?

I once spent some time with Rasmus at Staplewood and he came across as a decent bloke, friendly and committed to the club. Yes he screwed up appointing Jones but more for the fact Jones was not right for us (obviously he is right for some clubs (Luton and Charlton), so maybe RA just hadn't been here long enough at that stage to understand our DNA? Just speaking as I find. He might have a say or a veto on the next appointment but the person with the main responsibility is Spors

A mate of mine is very friendly with TM. As of yesterday morning he had not been approached..

Even if a miracle takes place and we make the play offs and win, do you really think we won't endure another miserable season in the PL? We are better off building sensibly and regrouping this season. Getting rid of the problem people and consolidating the foundations.

That proves 17% of our fans are imbeciles

Still has been a big disappointment for me. I expected more. Yes he was dealt a poor hand in the summer but players like Fellows and Azaz are experienced Championship players who under his management look mediocre at best. His demeanour, his harping on about inheriting a hangover from last season are becoming tedious and irritating. Accepting this season is a write off in terms of promotion and we have enough about us to avoid relegation, will the Board stick with him because there no other viable options? That's the million dollar question sitting right now on Dragan's desk. He is a man with business problems mounting up, but I hope he is giving the future of Southampton his undivided attention right now because we are fast approaching critical crossroads.

Saints fans have now seen just one win (Wrexham) at home in 365 days - a whole calendar year, so no wonder some are mightily pissed off. That is a shocking record and probably unprecedented. In fact I can hardly believe it. 1 home win in a year😱

St Mary's fans have now seen just one win at home in 365 days - a whole calendar year, so no wonder some are mighty pissed off. Wood might have been frustrated but should have waited until the dressing room to vent his ire at his fellow pros.

Yep but only just. A defeat tomorrow....... My reasons? 1. Not sure there is anyone better out there who would come. 2. I think our player recruitment in the summer has dealt him a poor hand. 3. He has potential - his record says that 4. We have had far to much instability with our managers which has meant promising players like Ballard/Amo-Ameyaw fall through the net.

I remain in the "keep Still in" camp, but his press comments are beginning to grate. Harping on about last year is just grasping at straws and we won't move on until he stops mentioning it. Yes the players must shoulder a lot of the blame, but Still has chopped and changed the team so much I think half them don't know their arses from their elbows. Look at Fraser. Unexpectedly he started the season in good form only to inexplicably lose his place as Still juggled and tinkered. Now he looks back to his poor form of last season. Robinson was one of our best players in pre season and looked to fill the hole left by Dibling, but under WS has regressed. There are others who have gone backwards - Fellows, Azaz, Manning, Harwood-Bellis. Meanwhile players we let go are flourishing. Bree, Taylor, Onuachu to name but 3. At the end of the day a good manager improves players, brings them on and gets the best out of them but the exact opposite is. happening from where I am stood. I am sure there is a good manager in there with Still but we sure as hell haven't seen it yet.

I keep reading the line "we don't want to become another Watford" I get it but........but right now I would swop places with them in the league.

Neither would unite this particular fan. Both are busted flushes.

A massive No from me. He was only effective with Rohl as his number2. By the time he left he was universally hated by all the players. Zilch man management skills. It would be foolhardy to even think about it. If he was the only option I'd keep Still

Watford are currently six places above us in the League. Just saying.

Er score 6 goals in 6 games?

My point is you couldn't be bothered to watch the whole match and yet you found time to criticise those who did (who were being negative because what they were watching in the first half wasn't very good). Sorry Sue that is hypocrisy. If fans or supporters want to be negative while watching a match that surely is their business without the high and mighty preaching from someone who isn't as negative because they didn't.... probably watch the first half.

Sue you slag off "the negative posters" but then admit you didn't see the first half. Maybe criticise the views when you have seen the whole 90 minutes. Just a thought.

I think I am correct in saying after only 7 games only one player has started all 7 , namely Shea Charles. Sort of tells its own story.

Plenty of managers of ours didn't move their families over here. Ralph and Koeman are just two. If you have young kids in school its impractical. Let's judge him on his recruitment - ( I accept the jury is very much still out).
