badgerx16 Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Pellegrino was straight down the tunnel, could it have been win or bust for him from the board? Then why pick that starting 11 ?
Pamplemousse Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 What was the response at the final whistle? Boos
Saints foreva Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Failed to beat Huddersfield, Brighton, Newcastle, Burnley, Swansea and Watford at home. We are going down. We ****ing scrapped that draw.
Suhari Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 That was a truly dismal selection. Thought it might be April 1st. He has to go now. An awful manager. I cannot conceive of how anyone can consider him good enough. Get rid, or we are down.
Rich102 Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Until now I've thought we should keep MP because it's clear there's a lot wrong with the club aside from the manager. That was wrong. I still think the problems run much deeper, but it's clear he's the source of where we are now. He clearly has no confidence in the players, but in that case he's utterly worthless as a manager. If you don't think you can coach our best XI to beat Brighton at home, then you've no business being a coach of a PL team.
mrfahaji Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 A draw at home to Brighton isn't good enough, especially given the other results. How many more times do we say "it'll be ok as long as we win the next one" - we never do! Pellegrino manages scared. He's been afraid to go for other teams since he arrived. It's why we don't look too bad against the better sides but don't look any better against the weaker ones. I only saw the second half. It wasn't terrible, but hardly good either. I really thought we would win today, despite our clueless manager. I had less optimism when I saw the line up but still hoped we'd have enough about us. Even at 0-1 I still thought we could. But that second half was limp, and tells me that we are going down. Also, on first impressions it doesn't look like £19m gets you much nowadays. At least Pellegrino has a friend now though.
hasper57saint Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Pathetic.Incompetent?inept? Tactless. Taxi......?
Jack Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Needs to be sacked but there’s more chance of us signing Lionel Messi tonight
Wrensup Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 I know it’s walking away from a boat load of cash, but my god where is his integrity! Just resign and say you tried. Maybe we won’t think of you as such a gutless manager in years to come.
hackedoff Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Two posts by me from yesterday. 1 He will start with one striker and we will fail to win. 2 Why do people join the board and manager and believe things will miraculously come good.
lordswoodsaints Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Pathetic game, pathetic show in the transfer market and I think we have probably left changing the manager about a month late even if he goes tonight. Even if we get a new manager, he’s still got the same players to work with and they are not going to become relegation fighters overnight.
Ohio Saint Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Does his change in sub tactics indicate he was under pressure to win that one or else? Jebus, I hope so!!!
Mr X Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Pellegrino was straight down the tunnel, could it have been win or bust for him from the board? please if there is a god!
geoffnut Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Four league wins all season and the manager stays. I expect to see him gone in the morning, some hope!
Tom Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Sack the idiot and get Ralph on a plane to Newcastle and rim Rafa
Pamplemousse Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Four league wins all season and the manager stays. I expect to see him gone in the morning, some hope! I'm hoping tonight personally
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 The most negative team selection for a home game in 55 years of my watching cost us 3 points. I despair.
Saint in Paradise Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 The players aren't giving up. They aren't getting stuffed every week. We're in games, they just look utterly bemused, frustrated, lacking organisation and belief. That is all down to Pellegrino. So why on earth don't they ignore Pellegrino then and play like they know what to do even though he doesn't??? Surely there is someone in the team who will stand up and show enough is enough or are they all as thick as Pellegrino???
Vancouver Saint Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Longest winless streak in all four divisions. What other worst records is this hopelessly out-of-his-depth manager going to have to break before he gets fired? Every other team gained ground on us today except West Brom who are saving it for us.
THINWHITEDUKE Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 F*cking awful, clueless, inept team selection, Is he Ali Dia in disguise?
Micky Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 He is clearly not going to get sacked whether we like it or not so lets use our energy in supporting the team.. I`m off to WBA Saturday to shout myself hoarse, what else can we do but support?Are there any tickets left, I might join you, don't think we've got too many prem games left, best make the most of if while we're here...!

niceandfriendly Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 but Pellegrino is a now funny. Then why aren't I laughing? This is depressing
smithy Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 It feels like it did when we tried the Dutch experiment. I really feel like we are done this season. After last year this hurts more than anything. I fear we're done.

Saint Pete Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Imagine if they did sack him now. I'd mostly be delighted and relieved. But then I'd think...you sacked him...on transfer deadline day after spending £19mn on his striker?!And it will probably take Les a further 6 weeks before appointing a successor!

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 We are down. Honestly, have we given up already...? You may be right but i will not give up on us until its over...
captainchris Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 It feels like it did when we tried the Dutch experiment. I really feel like we are done this season. After last year this hurts more than anything. I fear we're done. Let’s get something straight here. Portvliet had a load of 18 year olds to pick from and we played some good football with them considering... This guy has a squad of internationals and highly expensive experienced players capable of finishing top ten. You cannot this dummy with that Management team. This guy is clearly clueless but the buck stops with his employers you have to say.
Winnersaint Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 We are down. Ahh keep the faith! Still Jan! Just.

Suhari Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Steven Davis interview. How many times will players waffle about what we have to try to do? He sounds like a very unhappy captain.
Pamplemousse Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 I don't think we will sack him tonight or tomorrow, but if we lose to West Brom then SURELY that has to be it for him, SURELY. Even Les Reed will have to admit he has got this one spectacularly wrong.
Vancouver Saint Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 They all stay above us with one less game and easier fixtures and more home games than us in the run-up...
badgerx16 Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 We are down. It will come down to having to beat Man City in the final game, where they are playing their reserves to save their main players for the ECL final.

corky morris Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 That starting 11 was a total shambles. Complete ineptitude from the whole management of Southampton Football Club. No wins in 12, none, zilch, nada, bugger all...................................& he is still in a job!!!
scotty Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 It will come down to having to beat Man City in the final game, where they are playing their reserves to save their main players for the ECL final. Depressingly, right now that actually sounds like an optimistic scenario.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Better than a loss. But we won't sack MP after a draw. Tepid & Timid.
Cabrone Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Been following SFC since Lawrie Mac and he's the worst. Worse than Wigley, Gray, Portaloo and What?, Redkanpp etc and even the dreaded Branfoot. Infact he's so bad I'm starting to wonder if this is some kind of malicious act to get him sacked and off with the loot. It's beyond bad and it's going to relegate us. His selections are utterly mad, 1 up front at home to BHA and the 1 is a player that never scores. Guaranteed no goals, mental stuff. Meanwhile we have a load of attacking players on the bench. More mental stuff. I'm really starting to wonder about the guy's motives - no one is that bad.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Steven Davis interview. How many times will players waffle about what we have to try to do? He sounds like a very unhappy captain. I suspect he is and so he should be...
captainchris Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Agreed. I wasn't comparing the squads at all, just the incompetence. You are not agreeing then! Portvliet is a far superior Manager to this imposter.
doddisalegend Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Terrible stuff again I don't think changing the manger would even help now I think the damage has been done. We are blunt up front and weak all over the pitch we have no leaders in the team and seemingly the club has no idea that we are in a relegation battle..
stknowle Posted 31 January, 2018 Posted 31 January, 2018 Is Pellegrino Ali Dia in Disguise??? I’ve come to the conclusion that he is just a bit thick. Surely it was obvious that if ever there was a fixture to go balls out for a win, go all out attack and get the fans on side this was it. Not having a target man to convert our crosses has been used as a reason to defend him - if he had one we wouldn’t be in this position. Well he’s got one now, one apparently selected by him. So what does he do, he plays Shane non goal scorer Long as our lone front man in a defensive set up at home against Brighton like we are playing Man City away.
