Charlie Wayman

Leicester have been a class above for the past few seasons and as far as one can tell still are this year. They will see this as one of their easier fixtures especially as they know exactly how to deal with Martin's style of play. I cannot see what has changed sufficiently since our last encounter to feel any optimism about this one. 0-2 or 0-3

It's hard to believe that SR will be content with another relegation and even harder for them to see any way back for Saints if they do go down. If these players cannot avoid relegation and the few good ones then jump ship, the rump will be even less able to challenge for promotion whatever reinforcements can be brought in to shore up the team. SR might very well have reasoned that swapping managers now and hoping for a dramatic turnaound in fortunes is far more risky than simply selling up while Saints are still a Premier League club, taking the hit associated with the future uncertainty of the club's status and leaving it to somebody else to clear up the mess. Lets face it, they will be very well aware that their manager recruitment track record here has been appalling so their appetite for another change could be low, whereas a new buyer (if one can be found) might have their own man lined up or strongly in mind so effectively can do their dirty work for them.

Gobbledegook! Where is the improvement in terms of results and points on the board if as you exclaim, he is learning?

Meaningless drivel! The man has lost the plot.

Are you sure?

What you have to remember is that Nathan Jones and Russell Martin were realistic targets.

Truth is this was a total mismatch and the outcome was certain even when we surprised even ourselves and nicked a goal. It was a miracle that we reached HT without conceding. The only bright spot for me was the well taken goal by Archer that bodes well for his future. Given decent service he could prove doubters wrong. Good to see KWP back and living up to his reputation. He is a class player and one of very few in our squad who deserves to be at this level. Heaven knows why Martin felt the need to sideline him for a couple of matches. Don't hold your breath that the penny has dropped though.

Say, from whence You owe this strange intelligence? or why Upon this blasted heath you stop our way With such prophetic greeting

Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' the milk of human kindness.

Very odd point of view.

Don't worry there's a huge pool of talented League 1 managers from which he can choose.

Nice work if you can get it.

Obviously you didn't see Charlie Wayman or Eric Day. Call yourself a Saints fan?

One small step first please.

Why has it taken this long?

Where is the joy of promotion? Not much evidence of it on here.

What does AI say?

If only, if only. Mistakes must be ironed out. If your coaching staff can't sort it @RM then fire a few and add some new. Don't let "my mates" culture hamstring your ambitions.

A few people implying this will be a formality, a walk in the park... One thing our history has taught us surely is "never underestimate the opposition"

Sadly there is very little left in Bournemouth to make it worth the trouble of going there especially if the beach and fish & chips are of scant interest.

Don't they have larger goals in Italy?

That is a serious question? It's the Italian league so roughly equivalent to the Championship here. Why is that strange?

Of course he is. Amazing that KWP's non appeance for one game provides the signal for the baying mob to turn on him.

pathetic morons?
