doddisalegend Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 I was reading the Saints villa match report in the mail when I saw these lines which I thought were interesting This could be another dreary December for Southampton, who were held to a 1-1 draw here against rock-bottom Aston Villa when they really should have scored several chances. In recent seasons they have found the festive month a dismal one. Last year, they lost their first four and in each of the three years before that they won only once. It would seem December isn't a good month for saints anyone know why? Do we just get a lot of tough fixtures? Last season there was talk about some of the new players not being used to the English winter schedule but it looks like we were struggling even back when we had our British core. Looking at the up coming fixtures I can't really argue with the sentiments in the mail.
Bobbyboy Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 Presumably because West Quay is just so good for Christmas shopping and the players can't keep their minds on the game as a result.
Pilchards Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 Because we don't let the players take a drop of the strong stuff, if I was Koeman I would bring a crate of the finest Dutch beer and ask them to have a good **** up.

beatlesaint Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 It's strange, doesn't seem to matter who plays and who the manager is. But different to when I was a boy and Lawrie was manager, we were always great in December, I think he won manager of the month a couple of times too !
St Lej Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 We weren't that bad last year. 20 Dec beat Everton 3-0 26 Dec beat Palace 3-1 29 Dec drew with Chelsea 1-1 Then new yrs day beat Arsenal 2-0. Actually bloody good!
derry Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 The transfer window is close and the agents are talking to clubs to try and make money. You would have thought that would have brought on great performances except it might cause injuries.
Whitey Grandad Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 The transfer window is close and the agents are talking to clubs to try and make money. You would have thought that would have brought on great performances except it might cause injuries. Good point. Could it be that we have a higher proportion of players who want a move away in January than other clubs.
Batman Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 Good point. Could it be that we have a higher proportion of players who want a move away in January than other clubs. just cant have. seemingly highest number of players wanting out in the summer, then jan and then the summer again what the hell is wrong?
Whitey Grandad Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 just cant have. seemingly highest number of players wanting out in the summer, then jan and then the summer again what the hell is wrong? Money/greed or just covering their arses and keeping their options open. It's just a theory.
Batman Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 Money/greed or just covering their arses and keeping their options open. It's just a theory. that has to be the same for all middling clubs with their players. I simply cannot be our player wanted.
whelk Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 that has to be the same for all middling clubs with their players. I simply cannot be our player wanted. Why if wanted would they not be playing well? Only time Adebayor plays
Whitey Grandad Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 Why if wanted would they not be playing well? Only time Adebayor plays Theory 2: They're really, really happy at the club and are doing their best not to get a transfer.
Jonnyboy Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 Because we as fans are soft south coast woofters who struggle to get behind the team when it's grey and cold and we've got runny noses.
aussiesaint20 Posted 7 December, 2015 Posted 7 December, 2015 It's more a mid-November until late-December thing. 9th November 2013: Saints win. Followed by: LLLDDL W (26th Dec) 8th November 2014: Saints win. Followed by: DLLLLL W(20th Dec) 7th November 2015: Saints win. Followed by: LLLD..
