Thats my feeling too, however if we win then I fear Hughes stays on as manager and if we lose against United too then he’s toast surely?

Interesting reading an article about Bertrand and Cedric. The reason why they are singled out as being useless and don’t care is because they are no longer attacking full backs because (1) The cover is shocking so they have to stay back more often. (2) The players ahead of them don’t allow them to have the confidence to bomb forward as they lack the killer pass to set them free. (3) They are not really defensive defenders but more as wingbacks. Our systems is not suited for them. Bertrand would be better suited in a Manchester City format while Cedric in Barca’s according to the article.

How does a footballer perform to his best ability when the coaches don’t teach them properly and the confidence is rock bottom? Maybe a decent change is a good option as it’s not going to get better anytime soon.

It’s pretty obvious Mark Hughes can’t go on so the big question is who would you like and who you would hate at our club. Ideal option (1) Rodgers - Would be good for us and knows this league. (2) Big Sam - Wins matches and will breed confidence back to the fans and players. Worst option (1) David Moyes - Hate his football and he is so dull to listen too. (2) O’Neill - Has been and a massive backward step.

I thought Saints were unlucky today. Seeing signs that Hughes is turning it around as we scored two goals instead of our usual ones.

Probably top of the league in that one?

Think we need to give Hughes a chance to see if he can improve his .70 points a game for Saints.

First up it’s 10-30 to 12-30 on every time I’ve attended. No way we do 4 hours training and I doubt Liverpool do that many hours too unless you’re talking some weights, formations and media work included it that time. Our training is pretty lame compared to Strachan and Pottechino who had players vomiting on the hell Weds sessions.

I think you’re totally right. Hughes has been great at Stoke and just as good for Saints. I’m buzzing as a supporter of Hughes right now and I can’t wait for him to get yet another 3 points.

Come on chill out as it’s hardly life or death?

I’m sorry but Hughes has got to go. You can blame it on Reed as much as you want but when you look at the results he got at Stoke and then compare it to us nothing is going to change.

Okay we know we are crap but you can still have a laugh about it. Make us smile with a Saints joke. Little boy to Santa ‘Can I have a unicorn for Christmas.?’ Santa ‘Come on, be realistic.’ Little boy ‘Okay can you give Saints a home win today?’ Santa ‘What colour do you want the unicorn to be?’

Totally agree. Who is Shane to tell him what to do when he can't even hit the target in 50 ****ing matches.

I suppose the atmosphere would still feel the same?

I reckon Hughes is on his way too and that Reed admits he keeps making the wrong decisions.

The only changes I’ve noticed at training this week is the players are having a few 11 a side matches against some red cones. Currently the cones are 3-1 up.

And not beating a poor Newcastle team at home proves that this record is going to get worse.

Long scoring twice?!? I would take it back as it’s faulty.

Yesssss, that will be a doodle.

Hull City? Chester City? Norwich City? Which one as I’ve no idea who’s left in the cup?

City have not conceded a goal since Sept the first, Saints have not scored since I can’t remember? Certainly can see that carrying on when they play us.

Just to add. I watched them training recently and the only ones who stayed behind for extra practice was Sims, Taggert and Gallagher. The rest probably couldn’t wait to get away to the races or bookies.

Love the title and I would go as far as this. Double training!! After your morning session the players come back for two hours of speciality. Defending, forward play and fitness. The players can moan as much as they like but in the long term they will see the bigger picyure.

I’ve just seen the league table, I think Hughes has got it right. Don’t score and don’t concede any goals will see us safe. Quite exciting really knowing we will stay in the premiership for another year.

I only do that when we win. My wood burner is covered in spider web and my Red has gone off.
