Channon's Sideburns Posted 20 January, 2009 Share Posted 20 January, 2009 Interesting to listen to Dave Hockaday at the family day - he seemed really excited with the new set-up, and pleased as punch that the kids were setting the pace for the "established players." He seemed to have nothing but admiration for Jan's approach, and his only frustration was that (at that time) they hadn't converted all the good play into a league win. He made no bones about the fact that he had left Watford due to a disagreement over style of play with the manager - if that had been the case this summer, I'm sure he would have been off. Hmmm....history repeating...???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brmbrm Posted 20 January, 2009 Share Posted 20 January, 2009 How times change. Is sadism this extreme legal, Stanley? Dragging this muck up has embarrassed so many "upstanding" people whose reputations are now in tatters. You have humiliated them. the thing i find most peculiar is that you seem to get some sort of perverse pleasure in humiliating the feeble-minded. And so do I! Lowe out. JP out. COYR. NO RETURN UNTIL LOWE GOES. NO SURRENDER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 January, 2009 Share Posted 20 January, 2009 Hmmm ... interesting reading. Perhaps somebody could explain to me what has happened since then, it seems to have been downhill all the way. I didn't go to the West Ham match so perhaps I wasn't blinded by the style over the substance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 20 January, 2009 Share Posted 20 January, 2009 I thought he was going to do so well after the Derby game, probably the best and most enjoyable Southampton performance i've seen in the CCC. The next game in the cup against Birmingham was more of the same and we even brought in a few fringe players (Cork, Thomas, Wotton and Bart) Sadly the writing was on the wall not long after, the following game against Blackpool was the total opposite we where just embarassing trying to defend against a more direct team. I still think if we went back to a similar side to the Derby game and someone can install a bit of confidence we can avoid relegation, just seems Jan has lost the dressing room and the bad home results have drained all confidence. Lowe and Jan's handling of the more experienced players haven't helped things at all either. I guess a lot of teams have worked out how to play against us, which just shows up the manager as not being able to change things when we need to.

NickG Posted 20 January, 2009 Share Posted 20 January, 2009 pretty much my thoughts; as one of the more positive/optimistic posters I was willing to see some good in Jan and the work he has tried to do. Think he is a decent guy, and maybe with a couple of lucky home wins to break the poor streak and take the pressure off he could have done better. As I walked into the ground yesterday and heard the team I felt we would do ok. Sure we didn't have players of yester-year, or even Rasiak, John etc but we had; very good keeper decent pairing at CB a signed LB who although I wasn't expecting great things was at least a LB Saga back We came off a away win and had a real chance to move on. What I saw was, yet again the team starting very well and then after failing to get an early goal looking under pressure and increasingly panicing. This can only get worse with each game we fail to win at home. I am not keen on continual management changes. Nor changing without being able to get someone better in (why I wanted GB to stay). However, my concern is the team have got into a rut and needs a significant change to reignite them and the supporters. A change in boardroom is looking very very unlikely. The only other changes that could do this would be a big name signing -not going to happen. Or a new manager. Without going over old arguments of Jan v NP, whether he should have been appointed etc, but we have all seen loads of good managers being sacked as their team gets into a rut then go onto get success elsewhere -sometimes it needs that kick. I know teams have been relegated, stuck with managers to then do well - and I do admire this way of working. But yesterday, seeing two players whistling to the bench then shrugging their shoulders as they didn't know what to do, I have changed my mind.

alpine_saint Posted 20 January, 2009 Share Posted 20 January, 2009 pretty much my thoughts; Maybe in future you should refrain from co.ck-swinging after a few 20min periods of pretty tippy-tappy triangles that dont lead to goals or results, followed by a freak win.............
