A disgrace if we do that.

We need a second

However bad we are, we still need to win today. But, we are in a strange place and it is obvious.

Austin, against the run of play.

Yes !!!!! Austun

Gallagher scores for Brum

Yep, looks like an implosion. Time for a change as something has gone very badly wrong.

Hoddle knows how to manage.

If we lose today, we MUST try and get Hoddle in.

We are in BIG trouble !!

Have to say that we look like a poor side at the moment.

I would have put our strongest team out today. Wham 1 up already against Newcastle

Ok lets get a win.

Any sort of win will do, but of course a win in style will help boost morale which is sorely needed.

Fascinating point in the clubs history. Lose tomorrow and I think we will go down and have to go through a major rebuild over five years before returning to the Premier League. Part of the inevitable cycle. If we win, we may scramble to safety and then will have to have a major overhaul in the summer. We live in interesting times.

This won't happen, RK is in the same situation as Hoddle in 2004. A vocal minority will kick up a fuss putting their petty vendettas before the good of the club.

Sounds like a very good definition of complacency myself.

Never underestimate the opposition. Saints should know that. Over the years we have been written off by the likes of Manure and Scousehampton, but delivered bloody noses, especially in the 80's and 90's. Arrogance and complacency are two of our worst enemies and they have crept into this club like a stealthy intruder. I warned of this but was ignored or ridiculed.

Thanks, but you will get a lot of abuse for this. Many people have been talking about complacency setting in over the last two years, I would say longer. Alpine has also warned about this, especially the summer transfer dealings.

Watch what happens at Newcastle !

Normally reactions like Alehouse vindicate the strength of my arguments. In other words Alehouse cannot deny what I said so he reacts in a nonsensical way.

Lots of people singing my tune.

Agree with that, which is why complacency could be the worst enemy. We should have a relegation strategy at the start of each season as the inevitable will happen as I have been warning.

'Sleepwalking to relegation' that's my line.

Not quite. That did happen in 2004 when Luggy was appointed over Hoddle.
