What on Earth is going on?!

[Bad Wolf]

Stephens scoring 3 in 3

JWP scores four in four

JWP scores a free kick

Saints coming from behind to win a league match away from home

MP bringing on an attacker when winning in the last few minutes

[jamesfp1]

Sack him now and get someone who can deliver this more than once in 12!

[Manuel]

Maybe MP is learning, a slow learner but still.

[sotonjoe]

Unbeaten in six and only 16 points off of sixth place.

He gets a bit more time. Obviously Liverpool is a free hit, and we tend to perform well against the bigger teams, but after that, we have a run of fixtures that is absolutely massive. I hope that this result gives both the players and the manager the confidence and belief that we can win against the teams around us.

We've scored a few from set pieces, which has been the difference.

We absolutely need "cr*p Liverpool" to turn up.

Oh god, I would love it if we smashed them. VVD/Lovren own goal would be nice.

VvD will be a monster threat from set-pieces.

Not sure he'll play. Been told to lose weight and get fit!

Stephen Hawking is an aerial threat against us.

[OttawaSaint]

Scoring from outside box too.

[Bad Wolf]

Also we've done an actual league double over someone!

No one wanted wee Gordon strachen when he first started at Southampton

[Maggie May]

Why is this worth a new thread?

[St Lej]

Pellegrino is still ****. If a good manager hadn't lost in 12 would a bad result suddenly make him a poor manager? No, much the same as one good result in a blue moon doesn't suddenly make this clown any good.

Are you ****ing kidding me?

I wanted strachan and I know lots of others who did

Sorry. Got a bit carried away with the win. Was buzzing.

[Saint_Ash]

I want us to go on a winning streak, gain lots of confidence, fly up the table and everyone starts loving MP. Also win the FA cup. Not sure this is going to happen but would be nice.

If we do all that then loving MP will follow.

 

Can’t see it myself.

That'd provably get him the sack the.

Well, a repeat of last season's "treble" is still a possibility:

 

- 8th place finish

- cup final appearance

- manager sacked

 

I suspect only one of those will happen though.

:lol:

To counteract every negative thread here?

When he first came? After failing to impress at Coventry where he was relegated and unpopular with fans? You were pleased when you heard he was our new manager? He worked out well, but he was an underwhelming choice at the time with a poor record, so I think "wanting" Strachan was quite a minority thing. The Strachan love largely came later.

[Bad Wolf]

I didn't follow football at the time but I've heard loads of people say they were baffled by Strachen's appointment at the time.

I was pleased we got Strachan at the time.

 

He’d kept Coventry up for 4 seasons in a row before they eventually got relegated. Coventry and Saints were the two teams back then who used to just about survive every season, with one of us usually finishing 17th.

 

We wanted a manager to keep us up, he’d kept a similar team up 4 times out of 5. Great appointment!

[aintforever]

I was happy with Strachan, His Coventry side got relegated because they flogged their two top scorers (think it was huckerby and McCallister or Dublin), any manager would have struggled to keep them up.

 

That said, his appointment wasn’t that well received, but unlike MP he soon won the fans over.
