Ponty Posted 12 January, 2009 Posted 12 January, 2009 For all of Alpine's faults (if you believe he has any), none of them are wishing failure on the team.

Saints teams of all generations have been notoriously inconsistant - and not just when they were successful. Even looking back at the "potential" relegation situations in years past, we've always managed to turn it around in the second half (of the season) -even if it has run a bit close to the finish, occasionally. We have played some good football, (unfortunately seldom for more than 45 mins. at a time,) but put it all together, a few more shots ON target, a few less hitting the woodwork, and a fair deal on offsides and penalty shouts - I think we can do enough to move up the table soon, and certainly to survive.

Strange, I recall us being relegated in 2005......... I really worry about all this dangerous complaicency......

Yes, I recall 2005, but were we really that bad ...BEFORE the New Year ? Everything went downhill fast, especially after Pruttons 10 match suspension and we were really struggling at the end of the season, I don't think we were REALLY relegation-threatened up until then - were we ? It seemed like a season of two halves to me.

jjsaint Posted 12 January, 2009 Posted 12 January, 2009 Southampton, Norwich and Charlton have the worst form at the moment. This could easily be the bottom three (all big clubs!)

No. But the point is we won and that's all that counts, whether it was a fluke or not. We've had some bad luck this season and there have been games where we've played decent, pretty football but not got a result, so a 'flukey' 3 points is as good as any 3 points. It has probably been said already but everyone maons when we play well and don't get a result, now we've played badly and got a win and people are still moaning: make your f**king minds up ffs!

It seemed like a season of two halves to me. Answer: Yes. I was an ST that season and went to some of the away games. We couldn't score in a brothel under Wigley and anyone who went to Watford will never forget how awful we were. I don't like Harry at all but he was left with the tougher home games after our Stuart Gray clone of a Head Coach messed it up, with Sturrock's summer buys - V Damned, Yack-up-sson and Dennis Nilsson. Only Crouch was any good.

I want to win on Saturday and that's what counts. Doesn't matter if Donny hammer us for 89 minutes and Kelvin pulls off 20 great saves, if they score an own goal and we win 1-0 in our position I'd be blooming happy.

I'm fairly sure it was on Sky too and finished 0-0. I can barely remember except I had the mother and father of all hangovers that day.
