Those two wins consisted of a backs to the wall siege against the mighty QPR and a couple of scratchy goals against bottom of the league Wednesday. I'm really not convinced but if the bloke wins the next 3 then I'll eat humble pie. Otherwise St Mary's will not be a pleasant place to be.
The number of crosses that Saints allow the opposition is something that the new manager is going to have to address. Myself, I'd go 4 at the back with the full backs told that their job is to stop bloody crosses, especially with Bazunu in goal.
We'd be better with two wide full backs, two central defenders and an extra man in midfield. Wednesday strolling into acres of space must fancy their chances.
It surely can't simply be a choice between O'Neil and Carrick can it? Neither fills me with any optimism. I think I'd even prefer another hipster gamble.
That ugly win will look better if they can get 3 points against the side at the bottom of the table this weekend. Then maybe a couple of wins can breed a little bit of confidence for the new head coach to work with.
