die Mannyschaft

Surprisingly, some fans like possession football, it's even coached at all levels. Hours of boring world cup, champions leaque and Premier leaque football over the years won't get fans of many clubs complaining.

I can't see another win for rest of season and that's based on Saints spending most of the game in our own half/area/6 yard box. It's possible to score goals which we have and some good ones. But that's only a small amount of the math time, rest is negative, high risk back passing. Villa 4-0 Saints. Doesn't matter who is in team or how many red cards, even if we had 12 or 13 players still be 8 players in 6 yard box for goal kick.

Boring football 70 mins a game, stupid passing to keepers who don't want the ball. How can a keeper be expected to be as skilfull on the ball as a midfielder?

0-0 best result for Saints but realistically 0-5 as we won't have the capacity to get forward, create something unpredictable and dribble past chelsea players. I can see a VAR red card also and more terrible decisions. Formation 1-6-3-1 once the game is in 10 mins.

The Brighton player who lunged st tge valley was playing with Saints players on side. It can't be off side ref flag or ref decision. The offside rule is complete nonsense. Get it back to tge 70/80s simple design making. I can't wait for Championship football.

I went.great win for Winchester city. Best chant by winch , capital of England you'll never sing that. Good facilities, grass parking bit boggy going out.

Thanks the Cardiff game. In that case he won't be playing for Saints, God forbid a player at the back passing sensibly.

On the basis that Saints don't spend much time in the opposition box no. I'm surprised we have 5 points as it is. Factor in the ref and VAR then maybe 5 more points. If anything the 6 yard box keep ball we play it's luck we haven't let in another 6 goals.

ABK has left, wasn't he sold ages ago? I don't remember him being on any of the team sheets do far this season. CFC will walk it 4-0 or rather we will walk it in our own 6 yard box and Xmas wrap the goals. Can we still get players after the Jan window on loan deals?

Oh well, we can still achieve the lowest points record. 10 points looks a long way off playing dodgy passing in 6 yard box.

That's good as going anyway to watch Winchester city. 6 pointer. Come on you Citizens!!

Draw at best. The Liverpool game highlighted the problem of passing back to a keeper who makes saves but not FC24 type skills fir outfield players. Is big Paul out, he held ball up well and dribbled passed a few players which we need.

Ramsdale, THB, Fernandes, Downes, Dibling could go in Jan window. Wouldn't put ir past Liverhampton, Man u or Arsenal bid for £40m we are a selling team and pay too much for players so books never balance.

I'll be thinking of Iron Maiden, Hallowed be Thy name, during the game. Cause at 5 o'clock, they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low Running low, yeah! Ok 5 o'clock for 3pm ko.

My son is playing at 12 KO, so even if he plays just 1st half then we try to get from Totton through Southampton's world class traffic congestion the game could be 5-0 when we get in ground. No trains again and bus last time took 1 hour to get from station to Cumberland place. So not looking forward to this match on all fronts. It won't be as good as the 4-4. Just seen video of tall Paul goals on loan, why can't we get the ball to him!

Strained back from picking ball out of net. Or possession fatigue.

Realistically he is not going to go as, a) there isn't anyone we can afford Potter, Moyes far to expensive, b) new manager won't play possession football and our players would tgen need to change style, c) we won't by any players in Jan window. The owners will want some dosh from investment and prem money provides that. December is too late for new manager and if we don't get 6-8 points soon we won't get out botyon 3 anyway.

If we accept relegation then any goals or shots are a bonus. At what stage of the season with under 10 points have teams not been able to avoid relegation. I'm guessing 10th Jan.

I'm completely board each game at St Mary's. OK last season as we had a decent amount of shots over the season. But the style and tactics dictates, stop, wait, pass then repeat until pass back to keeper. The few dribbles and runs forward we have don't end up with a shot on target. Wolves are not a top 10 team so that's our bench mark for aggressive attacking football.

How can you let a goal go in within 2 mins on a 6 pointer must win game. Saints struggle to get a few shots on target when it's 0-0.

As an older fans with 40 plus years of watching Saints I don't class possession football as real football. Tge tactic is the opposite of the purpose of having a goal and strikers. It's utterly boring and negative football. The chips before the match is more exciting. The lack of shots also. But a lot of people like this type of dross, and it's actually coached at all levels. Winchester City FC is much more entertaining at a fraction of the cost. With VAR I'm getting completely bored at St Mary's. Even Brandfoot got more wins and goals.

I'll be late getting in for this game, so go 2-1 Saints win with Everton scoring in 3 mins. We will get a late goal 96th min. Everton probably better in all positions than us so it's a case if we gave to one win at least and this is the best chance!!

Going to Saints U21 v Leipzig at Eastleigh fc instead as the trains are just useless. LCFC game on way hone bus took 1 hour to get from soton train station to Bedford place/London Rd. Let's hope Saints beat Stoke and don't do another Grimsby! I suspect it will be a changed side but at least not too many U21s as they will be at Eastleigh fc!!

City 5-5 Saints 301/1 or 1-1 20/1 Could be anything if you factor in added 9 mins 2nd half, a red card here and there, VAR, and the now usual 5 subs. I'll go for an early goal from Saints or og City, then.....

As long as there is no VAR then I'm happy. Shoukd be more goal so again more entertaining and I go to watch goals not passes or sideways football. A lot of players will move on or get sold. A chance to go to Wembley is another plus in Championship More chance to go to away games. Easier to get tickets if no season most of the time It would be ironic if RM stayed and got us promoted again. Even when Saints play well we lose or bottle it in 2nd half. Need at least 14 points by end Dec or it's relegation.
