The biggest priority is to sort out the board. Until they go nothing will improve.

This is as dark as I can remember, a total capitulation. Even the Dutch duo got more points than this. The summer we almost went bust was another low point but this actually feels worse. Just relentlessly depressing.

Saints 1 Brighton 3.

It was noticeable that when the MOTD pundits went through their post match comments they said nothing about us. We are an irrelevance now. Can't say I disagree TBH.

Not really bothered about him TBH. He didn't blow me away last season and I was a bit surprised that the club pushed so hard for him. If he really wants to go he needs to get his head down and show other clubs what he's about.

I can't really judge the guy given the horror show he stepped into. Whilst both managers had to deal with a board that hasn't got a clue the big difference is that RM started this season with a team high on confidence whereas Juric inherited a dispirited, disinterested bunch of bashed up players. It was mission impossible. My hope for IJ was that we go down with some dignity and our tails up ready for next season, maybe on 20 points? I'm still OK to see if he can do it.

That was a golden opportunity to get another win under our belt and generate a bit of confidence as we head to the champ. Naturally we blew it. The club needs a total overhaul starting from the top.

Hopefully this is the game that we look back at as the game where the players rediscovered their mojo. Next up is Burnley, Bournemouth and Brighton at home, got to be a good opportunity to build on this and finally put that Derby hoodoo to bed. Feels good for once.

If it's a choice between them at their peak then it's Draper all day long. If its Saints Draper vs Saints Prutton then Prutton gets the nod, only because Saints Draper was pretty anonymous.

Tickets for the post season cruise on HMS Sports Republic available now . Going (down) fast.

Signs that Juric is slowly turning them around - at least in the 2nd half. Top marks to the support who made their way up yesterday. Grey, cold, post Xmas Sunday against an in form team in a season where we have won once. Well done all those who made the effort. 👍

According to the link below this one is (no surprise) currently held by Derby. They were relegated on 29th March 2008 having played 32 games. They are joint 1st with Huddersfield who were relegated on 30 March 2019 also having played 32 games. BTW Portsmouth got relegated on 10 April 2010 after 33 games.

Well that was worse than getting stuffed playing Russball. At least back then I had the comfort of knowing that Russ was not up to it and I expected a beating. What's really galling is the lack of heart. Have the players just given up? Juric has an even bigger task than I thought and I already thought it was massive.

Looking at the numbers.... 4th to bottom are Wolves who are on track for 32 points. To get 32 points we'd need 26 points over 19 games. That's the form of a 52 point season which is currently between Spurs and Brighton. Not quite impossible but not far off. We are now in 'minor miracle' territory. TBH I'm just hoping we can rediscover our mojo and end with some degree of respectability, hopefully somewhere between 20-25 points. As for Saturday...if the players leave it all on the pitch then who knows, a draw or even nick all 3? I just want to see some real heart.

Nothing personal but bottom half of the championship is his level. He'd do an OK job down there.
