see sky sports news are saying how the fans are all behind pardew and NC is a power hungry chairman who wants to be too involved... I for one will be backing the chairman on this one.. however i do think there is a chance he is keen to be more involved that some other chairmen in england.. but this doesnt have to be a bad thing.. just hope that it dont get to the point of team picking and not being happy with the minutes played by certain players from Italy.. Lets hope the fans at the match can show thier backing for the chairman as its being covered by the panel on SSNhd.. 4-0 today..

Anyone know how to send a text to Solent from OVERSEAS?

Last season a bunch of us on here used to text but with the new number I'm not sure how you do it from overseas since they don't give out an area code anymore.

Anyway getting ready for the game - COYR Sashes

Kelvin Davis
Danny Butterfield
Aaron Martin
Jose Fonte
Dan Harding
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Dean Hammond
Morgan Schneiderlin
Jason Puncheon
David Connolly
Richard Lambert

this line up should be enough to take all 3 points today methinks!

Couple of posters on here with leg end in the name appear to be extremely jealous of others who are capable of sensible debateable comment. I personnally admire the overseas batalion on this site who support Saints in the only way they can Usually using player many then comment having viewed the match several times and in slow mo. Me I comment having seen the game live and at full speed If I do watch any kind of re-play on TV I am often surprised that what I though I saw was different to what actually happened
If you have a problem with anyone commenting on here then sod off to another site or choose just to ignore the post Or tell you what answer it in a sensible non aggressive manner

Looking forward to a good performance today - DW has chosen an interesting squad, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Martin starting and Tony Garrod as a sub - lots of pace to call on - hopefully we'll see a cracking performance now that the dust has settled from AP's sacking. 4-1 Saints today (Lambert 1, Connolly 1, Alex O-C 2) .... COYR!!!!!!!!!

Also see that Guly is on the bench, so the stories about him being Nc man and wanting him to be playing cant be true either.

If the issue was fans being from overseas why arnt you getting stick? Or the countless others on here? The answer is because that is not the problem. The problem is the tone of this guy fron NZ and the shear volume he posts. Unfortunately it got blown out of all proportion. Hopefully we can move on with a less cluttered and preachy forum. We are all fans on here at the end of the day.

I can see the game live today which is a rare treat. I get the impression that Connolly is a bit overrated. He's made a umber of mistakes today and failed to take a reasonable chance a few minutes ago.

On the other hand - Ox and Punch are looking good as is the lad Martin in defense. - Rickie looking a bit quiet again - here's something wrong there methinks!

It is getting pathetic when it doesn't matter who we play we don't look like we can win.

The defense in general has looked fairly solid but Kelv is always good for a soft goal and that is a real problem when we can't seem to score.

Ricky has some problems, Connolly is not convincing to me, Barney is suspended and Lallana is out for at least 6 weeks injured. What happened to our goal scoring ability and PLEASE let's not blame AP leaving - apart from one game Saints have only really hit their stride once this season.

i think lambert and spiderman are missing a bit in todays game.. hopefully see guly for spiderman in the second half.. wingers and fullbacks look topclass and martain really should be a top defender for us in no time. think if we continue like this then it will be no time before we are back to winning ways.. just need to get that goal in the first 15 mins i think

Many fans of the echo saints forum have been enjoying genuine meet ups for drinks, car pooling in UK and even 20 red and whites at a meet up in NZ last season.. to be repeated!

Most fans are ordinary like minded fans who get get as frustrated as anyone. The very few boo boys in here that never say a positive word and slag at people and team will never cease.. some say they are echo staff stirring

Same old Saints... All the possession and then hit on the counter.

Is there any truth in the Echo Twitter comment about a new manager coming in before the Swindon game?

If so, any decent rumours on who?

Adkins is 8/13 favourite still on Skybet, with Zola at 7/4...

Are you watching this Mr Cortese? Why don't we have a replacement for Mr Pardew lined up, I know how about Alan Pardew? Your knee jerk reaction, ill timed at best, has set the club back 12 months. Managers of his calibre are rare/unheard of in the third tier of English football. You have made a mistake unless you have Martin O'Neill up your sleeve.

You're welcome, good stream isn't it. Shame about the game though. As New Jersey Saint says, me thinks there's something terribly amiss with Rickie! I am sure if he got his game together, the whole of the team would lift!!!! Plus notes for the first half, Chamberlain and Martin look really promising, apart from them, poor showing :( I really hope the team can pick their game up in the second half. COYR's

Of course that is not a problem but when one individual posts upwards of 80 posts it starts to get anoying. This thread seems better though so hopefully he has turned over a new leaf.
Back to the game, get bart in goal for the next game and if we are talking overated players how about puncheon and hammond? Hammond just kicks it in the air and puncheon couldnt hit a barn door. We need a tactical genious to come in and tell these guys how to play.

4:14pm Sat 4 Sep 10

Have noticed a pattern to our games - seems like we start every game with tremendous pressure & teams get everyone back and defend to weather the storm, knowing we will run out of gas somewhere around the 10 minute mark ... then there is a long period of relatively quiet play with equally shared possession, but no real chances for either side ... then we build for an attack, which is repulsed with a break while our defense has fallen asleep and we give up a "shock' goal ...

BTW - is Lambert actually playing today? Or are we playing with 10 men ... methinks he may be the first casualty of AP's departure ... would hate to see him start behaving like Saganowski did ...

I still hold to my 4-1 prediction - hopefully DW will get them adjusted for the 2nd half ...

As another of the "overseas brigade" - in the U.S., I enjoy the comments - especially the passionate ones - of others who remain committed to Southampton, even from far away! Do us all a favor the next time you fee the urge to call anyone a moron - ask yourself if you are being a true Saints supporter - or just a moron yourself!!!!
If the issue was fans being from overseas why arnt you getting stick? Or the countless others on here? The answer is because that is not the problem. The problem is the tone of this guy fron NZ and the shear volume he posts. Unfortunately it got blown out of all proportion. Hopefully we can move on with a less cluttered and preachy forum. We are all fans on here at the end of the day.
You could always try scrolling past comments from posters you don't like...it's not rocket science...now...give it a rest...can we get on with the game please?
Of course that is not a problem but when one individual posts upwards of 80 posts it starts to get anoying. This thread seems better though so hopefully he has turned over a new leaf.
Back to the game, get bart in goal for the next game and if we are talking overated players how about puncheon and hammond? Hammond just kicks it in the air and puncheon couldnt hit a barn door. We need a tactical genious to come in and tell these guys how to play.
Agreed, would love to see Bart get a start next game and Puncheon is having (another) off game. Swap him for Guly in time to hopefully see what this guy can do - don't do an AP and leave it too late!

You sure would win hero status if you took all the negative posters away from the Echo site. I rarely post as I lose interest after a while having to scroll past all the off-topic negative posts slagging off other posters or others' ideas. Of course you can diasgree with someone else's opinion, otherwise it would be a boring forum, but ffs show a little respect to fellow fans, we all support the same team after all. I don't always agree with what Dan has to say but he does seem to show genuine respect for fellow posters. Us overseas fans rely on you guys back home to help us get a balanced view of just what is going on back at SMS. Hoping the boys can produce in the second half. Would love to see Guly come on and and get his first goal in a Saints shirt! (Huge thanks to the poster who relayed that this game could be found on p2P) COYRs!!!
I totally respect what your saying. The problem is with this guy from NZ is he tells us fans who go to the games what happened or should of happened from his darkened room on the other side of the planet. It smacks of arrogance and is rilling a lot of people.

In just a couple of short weeks or so the good ship Saintsfc has run aground. When this happens there is only one person who must carry the can and that is the captain. On Sky Sports today it was very obvious that the commentators, who must have contacts within Saintsfc, felt that NC was too involved in team matters and one quoted Dean Hammond as saying there wasn't a problem between AP and the players, contradicting what has been said elsewhere. NC just has to make a statement to clear the air and quickly resolve the managerial situation otherwise Saints are heading for another season in L1, or possibly L2.

I'm having a guess none of us on here are at the game and i've been following on BBC. Its far too early to flap - we have had the best of nearly all our games this season - as soon as we get a manager who instils confidence in the players (especially the strikers) we will soon catch up the leaders.

Anyway - if all else fails and we don't go up - we can play p*mp*y for some easy points next season.

What a horrible display ... so much for the "fortress" St. Mary's we saw last season ...

Good effort from O-C and Puncheon (although he was off target, he had energy), why we took off OC I don't know, he was the best we had on the pitch ... Lambert was disinterested at best from what I could tell.

We need to get this mess sorted out ... players are saying all of the politically correct things about being professional ... but the play is crap.

I was optimistic for our season after the Rovers win, now I'm worried about survival in L1.

Dutch Saints Fan comments that Wotte would like to return ... I'd support that - I didn't agree with his dismissal in the first place & he is currently tops in the Egyptian Pemier League with three wins and no losses!

Just back from the match left at 86 mins should have left at the 2nd goal. They were clueless. One thing is not in doubt and that is Wilkins will not last too much longer. I hope he can explain why he took off the only two players up front that were playing well was he loading the midfield to keep the score down. I have never been a Puncheon fan but the quicker we off load him the better he is dreadful.

Thought on what I saw: Rochdale's 2 goals came from a shocker by Kelvin and a cross from Jose.. both huge errors...
Cheers to all from all over for coming in I love sharing with the fans even at 2am-4am our time.
Good cause for the fans from the game to have a go today but still like to praise spirit of young oxo and but for the slip ups at the back (growlers) and for the lack of timing of Conners and lack of accuracy of Punch this could have gone the other way.
Disappointed to see Rickie stand flat footed outside the area watching but spotted a couple of flicks and nice head ons is he still carrying thigh damage some one further up said he looked like saga.. maybe??

Perhaps the problem is the new manager?N.C. is a very dogmatic type of person and is perhaps self opinionated and considers himself above the likes of AP.

5:29pm Sat 4 Sep 10

**** performance as per usual, I wasn't Pardew's greatest fan however I didn't want him to get the sack, Liebherr obviously had faith in him as the second he passed away Cortese sent him packing. I did disagree however with Pardew's choice of tactics (long balls and crosses) that the opposition seem to win every single time, it's a joke. We got 4 of 5 passes together in the 90th minute then as soon as we launched it off the floor we lost it, Puncheon doing the majority of useless long balls as usual. Pardew also had a serious problem with motivating the team we'd either go 4-0 up and score no more or let one goal in at an early stage and fail to threaten for the rest of the game. We need to build on the possesion we have, we work hard and pass the ball around and then we waste it all by launching it up the pitch. Zola would be a good replacement because of the type of football he'd bring and the players he'd attract however he had problems motivating the players at West Ham, I think he may get the job though due to Cortese links with Italian football. O' Neil would obviously be the perfect choice however I don't see a quality manager like that coming to a club with a power crazy chairman who; signs his own player's, puts pressure on the manager on who should play and how long they should be on the oitch and is always trying to steal the limelight. I mean he was angry that Do Prado didn't play more than 5 minutes the other day even though he joined the day before and had never even trained with the team. I'm grateful for everything he has done for the club but a chairman should not be involved in first team affairs that's the manager's job and if I was a decent manager I wouldn't work under him that's why we will prob end up with somebody rubbish like the bournemouth or scunthorpe manager, even zola is highly inexperienced, he has only managed West Ham and he did a disastrous job.

Trying very hard not to, but I'm starting to feel a bit of a panic coming on. The season has started exactly the opposite of what I was expecting. I know it's early days but it feels like another disasterous season is in the offing. Didn't go today, listened to Solent, almost worse than being there because your imagination takes over. Certainly sounded like the team has collapsed. No apparent cohesive play, players completely lacking in confidence. I remember when we felt that teams didn't want to come here, now it is more likely they can't wait. This situation must be turned around very quickly, meaning in the next 2 or 3 games at the latest. NC must get his s**t together, get a decent manager in to hit the ground running and turn the season around by the end of the month. Being a bit cheeky, if the powers that be haven't got a manager in mind, ask Dave Merrington to fill the caretaker role, he spends his entire commentary saying what should be happening on the pitch, perhaps he could make a difference in the meantime 8)

Well if the rumour about Pardew is correct and the senior players wanted him out, how are they repaying the club? This is bad.
Heard on BBC radio that the real reason for Pardew dismissal, has more to do with Cortese deciding who to buy and who should play.
NC and AP had a text arguement, the result of which is AP's departure.
We need a new quality manager ASAP. If this is not possible why doesn't Cortese do the job, but then who would he blame if things went wrong. Cortese has a two problems his ego and the inability to run a football club.
God help us.

If we had one for dan and his lackies that would be great. He can post his preachings and all his minions look up to him. If your willing to set it up for them mate sure you would win hero status with the rest of us.
Why do you pretend to be speaking for anyone other than yourself?. MONG
I'm speaking for the non-lackies hence why you don't agree. Moron.
It always amazes me how we are supposedly all committed Saints fans - yet some like you constantly feel the need to call your fellow fans "morons." As another of the "overseas brigade" - in the U.S., I enjoy the comments - especially the passionate ones - of others who remain committed to Southampton, even from far away! Do us all a favor the next time you fee the urge to call anyone a moron - ask yourself if you are being a true Saints supporter - or just a moron yourself!!!!
If the issue was fans being from overseas why arnt you getting stick? Or the countless others on here? The answer is because that is not the problem. The problem is the tone of this guy fron NZ and the shear volume he posts. Unfortunately it got blown out of all proportion. Hopefully we can move on with a less cluttered and preachy forum. We are all fans on here at the end of the day.
You could always try scrolling past comments from posters you don't like...it's not rocket science...now...give it a rest...can we get on with the game please?
Of course that is not a problem but when one individual posts upwards of 80 posts it starts to get anoying. This thread seems better though so hopefully he has turned over a new leaf. Back to the game, get bart in goal for the next game and if we are talking overated players how about puncheon and hammond? Hammond just kicks it in the air and puncheon couldnt hit a barn door. We need a tactical genious to come in and tell these guys how to play.
Agreed, would love to see Bart get a start next game and Puncheon is having (another) off game. Swap him for Guly in time to hopefully see what this guy can do - don't do an AP and leave it too late!
Totally agree. Wilkins must of listened as he is on. Am listening to talk sport and Bobby Gould just said "guly do prado who the hell is he?" "Play's up top but comes short and doesnt look like he wants the ball" The same impression I got of him, not good.
I saw enough to convince me he wasn't any good in the 5 minutes at Bristol Rovers. Was told off by loads for jumping the gun. I know enough about football to see that Guly has got nothing to offer us. Would rather see an U18 in the side making the same mistakes!

Disagree. NC is a planner and I very much doubt he would have saked AP unless he really had to as if NC had planned it a replacement would have walked in the next day. I stand here hat in hand ready to eat it if I'm wrong. The fact it was so rushed and replacement not ready makes me think he had no choice and was left with no alternative.

A comment by the BBC is far better than the rubbish of gossip on a messageboard which is used to support NC decision to get of a good manager. As I said before AP enjoyed fantastic support a couple weeks ago and now some seem happy that his gone based on this rubbish gossip.

Cortese has not one single supporter at the club, in the city or in the media. He is a control freak. This club will go no where until he is sacked by the Liebherr family.

Put your hands up and admit you were wrong? What based on a home defeat? So if we had of won today would you be wrong?

I am not saying you are wrong or those in the opposing camp but anyone who is so reactionary should have their opinion ignored. Why don't you let him make his move and the you have the full picture - then and only then form your conclusion.

What the heck's going on? Last year, we all thought that dark times were behind us, with a rich new owner and bright future. All the behind the scenes nonsense of Lowe's era was gone. Or so we thought. Now this season's disintegrating before it's even five league games old thanks to some alleged stupid nonsense between Cortese and Pardew and because whatever else can go wrong is going wrong.
I hope Cortese pulls a rabbit out of the hat next week and appoints someone who can get the best of out this sorry bunch of players and then Saints can live up to the pre-season hype because, at the moment, we are the laughing stock of League 1 and that's disappointing. If the BBC are right and someone with a 'wow factor' is hired then I hope he can get the players to get their act together.
We may as well let the Little Cherries enjoy themselves as, soon they'll be put back in their box.

Show some appreciation and stop thinking we have a god given right to win ever game.

We have a team very short of confidence and once a new man is installed things will turn around.

NC did not make Lambert play ****.
NC did not make Puncheon sky every shot he has.
NC did not injure our new players.

He did however sack Pardew and we should stick by him untill we know the reason... you don't know and i don't know.
He could have been doing anything, legal illegal , moral,unmoral..

the real frustration is that we are getting behind already. Still hopeful that if we can get a manager in this week, then we should be able to kick on. Three quarters of this division is utter dross. If the poxy little cherries can hold their own then a quick turn in fortunes and we'll steam up the table.

Dreadful performance today.
I feel it would have been the same outcome with AP in charge.So many times last season teams put the whole team behind the ball and sneak a goal on the break.Same as this season,Plymouth,Orie
nt and now Rochdale.The substitutions were a bit strange,I would have kept AOC on and as Punch was having an offday would have replaced him with Fish or Dickson.RL is either not fit or the events of the the last couple of weeks have hit him hard,he will come good,I'm sure.
We need a manager with the knowledge to break the teams down.
When we have had the luck to score an early goal we seem to go on and win handsomely.
All the bo11ox in the press about NC interfering with 1st team affairs is probably just made up because NC has upset the press.
I reckon in the next few days a very high profile manager will be announced,and most likeley one thats not been mentioned in the press before.Remember what a surprise it was when AP was announced.
Come the end of September all will be rosey again,new manager,banging goals in for fun and in the top 6,trust me.

to be fair to us, every team coming to St Marys will be stick 11 behind the ball and catch us on the break. We've just had very little luck in front of goal.

We're suffering for the fact that there are so many little teams in this division who treat this as their cup final. Only that numpty Howe came here thinking he could win and we won comfortably.

Excellent post. Why have so many footie fans become so reactionary recently? Why can people not realise there is nothing wrong with holding fire and waiting to see what happens? We don't have form a conclusion as to whether Cortese is a wan ker or a god, based on nothing but guess work. Yes I am worried - losing Pardew was bad news regardless of the reasons why, yes Cortese might be an ego trippin tosser but until we discover what happens in the near future it is pointless and pathetic to presume anything. Can we just grow up please and wait for the facts

the third hardest man in sholing says...
6:53pm Sat 4 Sep 10

For a team thats meant to be favourites to go up we were utterly inept and complety devoid of ideas in the attacking third.3 games at home and 1 goal is just not enough for a lowly side let alone a promotion chasing one like us.13 players out and 4 in ...3 of them full backs.With Lallana injured we lacked spark,with Barney suspended we lack bite and sharpness.Lambert is clearly not right..a shadow of himself.Connolly gets pushed off the ball too easily and seems to end up playing in the wrong position,he needs to be on the end of things not trying to win headers and holding the ball up.We had no strikers or wingers on the bench which is an absolute joke for a club who are meant to be going for promotion.Alex O is a good young prospect but i feel he needs to be brought through on the bench.Punch should have started on the right with Dickson on the left.Shneiderlin and Hammond are too similar,and i`d start with guly in Schneiderlin`s place who for me continues to flatter to deceive,for a player who`s meant to be talented he never ever dominates games,he rarely gets forward and scores or makes something happen its just sideways passes and he really hasnt progressed for me.There`s no point moaning about AP now,im as annoyed and baffled by the decision as all the other sane fans but its now done and dusted,Cortese has lost so much of the support and theres a real negative atmospere around the club which has happened in just 7 days.He now has to act quickly and bring in the right man to get this gloom lifted and hopefully we can move on.I just cant believe we`ve just lost to Rochdale.

Surely if all these rumours about Pardew were right then the players would be behind Cortese's decision and would want to go out there and prove the fans wrong. What I saw today was 11 players that looked completely uninterested and lacking any confidence. None of it makes any sense and I truly believe that Cortese needs to say something. I'm behind Cortese 100% but I think he needs to break his silence on the matter.

What's going on? RL cant head control or shoot, is he unfit,ill or just not interested? without him there is no bite to the atack. The whole team seems to lack motivation and direction. If rumours are half true about drinking & hankypanky fair enough, dont expect club report on that! But please Mr Cortese get us a strong manager who knows the lower league culture & hopefully can get us out of this mess. It will be no time before we are 10 points adrift again, but no panic get the right man & 2 players too.Code words unit-rest they sure did today!!!!

I expect pardew is laughing his head off at this, as well as the rest of the teams in our league. Wilkins is a good youth coach, but an awful manager. This needs sorting quickly.

Chipster says...
7:10pm Sat 4 Sep 10

In a word the game was dire, like watching a slow death! The players had no desire or passion, and apart from a couple no idea where the goal was!
Lambert looked like he needs a good workoput in the gym, Puncheon needs to work on the basics, like how to pass although he was not alone in that department!
I felt sorry and a little agrieved to see Chamberlain substituted, he was at times our best player for christs sake!
All we did was hoof the ball upfield with no cohesion or intent. The sooner Napoleon appoints a new manager the better, I just hope we get someone in who has the mettle to kick a few backsides or we will be in danger of relegation instead of promotion.
Just when you think things can only get better we and up shooting ourselves in the arse!............ :o(

Very sad day for Saints. Mr Cortese needs to concentrate on the corporate affairs of the club and distance himself from football management. He needs to appoint a knowledgable director of football who understands the English game who can properly assess the suitablility of the new manager, Aperson who will assist the new man in the team building requirements of the club and maintain a liason betweeen the Team Manager and Board of Directors. Such a person would be able to make detailed analysis of continuing requirements. ( An example of a similar situation is at Watford who employs Graham Taylor in a similar role). Like many egocentric people Mr Cortese needs a calming experienced person to guide and advise him through the present difficult period he is experiencing with the press, television comentators and most importantly with the Club fans. As usual the fans will support the team through good times and bad. Carry on in the present vein and he will lose the goodwill created by the Mr Markus Liebherr and there will be a gradual decline in the clubs fortunes. Money does cure all I'm afraid.

Today amply demonstrated that last seasons failings still continue.We have a squad of players of weak mentality.That is why the mantra often repeated by Saints fans that we have the best squad has always been drivel.
Pardews ridiculous moaning about the negativity at St Marys has given the players all the excuses they need not to perform.That was sheer stupidty on Pardews behalf.It was his job to ensure that the mental attitude of the players was right under all circumstances to the best of his ability.
The long ball is still vastly overused.Teams continue to walk through and around our midfield at will.
Our defense continues to concede goals easily.With Lambert off form and Barnard suspended,we are screwed for scoring.Especially with the lack of creativity from midfield.
Those who thought all we needed was a couple of players should now be aware of their delusions.
This is Pardews team,and it is no way near good enough for promotion.Who is responsible for the lack of new players is anyones guess.
One thing is for sure,the last thing we needed after getting rid of Lowe,was to replace him with another idiot.We will do nothing while Cortese is in charge.

Today there were several sponsors asking why they are bothering. If you ban the press then you effectively prevent coverage of the logos the very sponsors are paying to expose.

Interesting that Cortese had to have a body guard infront and behind him to and from his seat.

Several more staff recounting stories of his de motivational skills today, just more of the same.

Still you keep the faith in him, I will juat keep the faith in the Saints.

Time for a reality check.
Who was the last good/successful manager you had and how many duds since then?
Plenty of big clubs in League 1 and even League 2, nobody is owed promotion and all this talk of teams raising their game as if that is unfair look like lack of preparation.

Do you want a 'WOW' name or someone who knows what is needed to get out of League 1.

garbage... total garbage and non-sense.
Have you no idea what happens when a team loses its leader?
To say that they should be able to simply get on with it is ridiculous.
Have a look at the difference a new manager makes to any team and its obvious.
Everything rises or falls on leadership I dont care how good the players are. This has been an explosion at the worst time, and I can only hope there were major moral or personality issues cause the timing was terrible.
At least if it was personal or moral then we could see that timing doesnt matter and get on with it. But dont assume everything should click together nicely simply cause they are professionals- they are also people!
Get the new and right manager and then watch.
Your argument is weak- I can remember us dis-assemble teams like Norwhich, Charlton and even leeds last year so to assume that all of a sudden our players suck is simply nonsense.

Well put Seedhouse.... NC must pay for this with his JOB!! I don't blame the team, they are de-motivated, unstable and doing the best under difficult circumstances. Wonder if these NC brown-nosers will still be celebrating his achievements at the end of the season???

One manager of the highest calibre required as soon as possible.
Need someone to sort out rickie as he looked like he could not be bothered (a la Saga!).
Came away from the game today thinking that we have loads of tallent in the team but nothing apart from young Alex OC on display today.
I keep tring to think of the positives but there were very few of them.
I thought that those singing about AP need string up as they needs their heads looking at, the misguided fools.
Things can only get better and now looking forward to NC appointing a manager who can sort this lot out.
Keep the faith.

Well at least the manager and the team were all on the same wavelength today - totally clueless.

Every team coming here now absorbs 15 minutes of pressure straight from the kick off, sorts themselves out and then beats us with a breakaway or two or three (Plymouth,Swindon,Ro
chdale). And still we don't how how to deal with it!!

Lambert is contributing nothing. Has anyone ever looked less interested? Puncheon is a master in stepovers and beating the same man 14 times but cannot pass straight or hit a barn door when he shoots. Schneiderlin is a one trick pony (40 yd crossfield pass).

The only bright spark today was OC who got taken off for his efforts!!He is the only guy in the team with any pace for gods sake. We take so long to build an attack it is no wonder that the opposition always seems to have 10 men behind the ball.

The team looks completely flat - no spirit or inspiration - Something is badly wrong behind the scenes.

Your argument makes my point Joelster.
Yes,we did well against the bigger teams.But look how we did against a lot of the little teams.Got poor mentality written all over it.
Todays performance is not the clincher.Look at the performances against Plymouth and Orient and how we fell away after they scored.
These players are weak,especailly when things do not go well.Never a chance of automatic promotion with this bunch.

A lot of comments in the vein that we need a good manager in asap to sort things out. Totally agree, but just want to make the point that the players we've got are, I'm assuming not all brain dead. What I mean is they should all know what is neccessary on the pitch without having it shouted at them for 90 minutes during a match from the sidelines. Sure we need a manager for a campaign but 11 professionals should be able to put a decent performance together for a game or two. It worked when I was at school in the 70's, we knew what to do even if the skill was lacking! Perhaps we don't have a team good enough. Sorry if this makes no sense but I am half cut.

Pretty much in a agreement with that Steve except i think Alex O was ok but he still has lots to learn,just cant believe that this is meant to be a promotion push when last season we had Ants and Papa to come in to the side and now we have to rely on a just turned 17 year old.2 loan players in quick please Mr Cortese.

Cheers to all from all over for coming in I love sharing with the fans even at 2am-4am our time. Good cause for the fans from the game to have a go today but still like to praise spirit of young oxo and but for the slip ups at the back (growlers) and for the lack of timing of Conners and lack of accuracy of Punch this could have gone the other way. Disappointed to see Rickie stand flat footed outside the area watching but spotted a couple of flicks and nice head ons is he still carrying thigh damage some one further up said he looked like saga.. maybe?? Keen to hear from the game.. but off to bed.. Good Morning from NZ KTF!! ps: Howe just said he is focussed on Bournemouth not interested.
The managers report there from dan in his darkened room on the other side of the planet. Manager in his mind only. Someone get a lawyer and nurse out to comit him soon.
Very constructive and positive post "Legend". I am astounded by your knowledge but, if I may be so bold, can you post about football please instead of attacking a fellow Saints fan...that is assuming you are a Saints fan of course.

Poor game today, felt we should have beaten Roch quite easily. Dean Wilkins is probably a fine coach but doesn't seem to be cutting it as a manager.

For a team thats meant to be favourites to go up we were utterly inept and complety devoid of ideas in the attacking third.3 games at home and 1 goal is just not enough for a lowly side let alone a promotion chasing one like us.13 players out and 4 in ...3 of them full backs.With Lallana injured we lacked spark,with Barney suspended we lack bite and sharpness.Lambert is clearly not right..a shadow of himself.Connolly gets pushed off the ball too easily and seems to end up playing in the wrong position,he needs to be on the end of things not trying to win headers and holding the ball up.We had no strikers or wingers on the bench which is an absolute joke for a club who are meant to be going for promotion.Alex O is a good young prospect but i feel he needs to be brought through on the bench.Punch should have started on the right with Dickson on the left.Shneiderlin and Hammond are too similar,and i`d start with guly in Schneiderlin`s place who for me continues to flatter to deceive,for a player who`s meant to be talented he never ever dominates games,he rarely gets forward and scores or makes something happen its just sideways passes and he really hasnt progressed for me.There`s no point moaning about AP now,im as annoyed and baffled by the decision as all the other sane fans but its now done and dusted,Cortese has lost so much of the support and theres a real negative atmospere around the club which has happened in just 7 days.He now has to act quickly and bring in the right man to get this gloom lifted and hopefully we can move on.I just cant believe we`ve just lost to Rochdale.
Spot on. Couldn't agree more!

Strongly disagree.

How can you call Pardew a Premier league quality manager??? He's not even had a year an a half experience in it, he left WH cos they had the worst run in 70 years which ultimately led to them getting relegated, and when he took over at Charlton he was there to watch them get relegated! Please tell me how you came up with Pardew being a Premiership manager!

Do you honestly think Nicola Cortese would sack the manager at this time of the season without having a replacement ready?? NO. (he should have done it end of last season in my view!)

Every team coming here now absorbs 15 minutes of pressure straight from the kick off, sorts themselves out and then beats us with a breakaway or two or three (Plymouth,Swindon,Ro

chdale). And still we don't how how to deal with it!!

Lambert is contributing nothing. Has anyone ever looked less interested? Puncheon is a master in stepovers and beating the same man 14 times but cannot pass straight or hit a barn door when he shoots. Schneiderlin is a one trick pony (40 yd crossfield pass).

The only bright spark today was OC who got taken off for his efforts!!He is the only guy in the team with any pace for gods sake. We take so long to build an attack it is no wonder that the opposition always seems to have 10 men behind the ball.

The team looks completely flat - no spirit or inspiration - Something is badly wrong behind the scenes.

Funnily enough although it's supposed to be a carvery they were offering pasta in a basil sauce or tomato sauce as an alternative for those that wanted it. I took my lad and a mate of his who's mum is Italian, he said it was very good but not as good as his mums.
Ha - did it include anything from Lecce perhaps, will the bars be stocking Perroni soon? keep us updated Seedboy
I've not seen so many stewards around the directors box since the dying days of the Lowe era. Trouble for Il Duce is they are all Saints fans and think he's a twatt as well.

They seemed relieved that I was with the kids and so not drinking heavily. I've had a few warnings over the years but the best was when Mandaric put in a formal complaint following my chanting "Mandaric's a *****r". I wrote back and said why pick on me when 5000 others were doing the same thing?. They wrote back and said "Yes, but they weren't sat 3 seats away from him..."

Every team coming here now absorbs 15 minutes of pressure straight from the kick off, sorts themselves out and then beats us with a breakaway or two or three (Plymouth,Swindon,Ro chdale). And still we don't how how to deal with it!! Lambert is contributing nothing. Has anyone ever looked less interested? Puncheon is a master in stepovers and beating the same man 14 times but cannot pass straight or hit a barn door when he shoots. Schneiderlin is a one trick pony (40 yd crossfield pass). The only bright spark today was OC who got taken off for his efforts!!He is the only guy in the team with any pace for gods sake. We take so long to build an attack it is no wonder that the opposition always seems to have 10 men behind the ball. The team looks completely flat - no spirit or inspiration - Something is badly wrong behind the scenes. 606 on 5 Live tonight - the panel and all Saints fans phoning in critisicing one man only - NC!! Make of that what you want.
stop blaming the players... no leader- no results... adn stop calling for nicolas head- WE DONT KNOW THE FASTS!
Would seem you've drunk as much as me chap, CHEERS!!!

You are correct realtalk. they should give us a break. Unlike most posters, I actually train a (junior) team, referee every winter, and I am treasurer of a decent local local mob. I am interested in football, and take an active part in getting youth teams organised and motivated. I came onto this site to see what is on, and I have been sorely disappointed by the piles of hot air being expounded by football thugs masquerading as fans. Sure I now take the P... but it is just my way of scorning the fat pubwallers who have never tried, never been, just got big bellies, bigger gobs and who dream about this dead-end bunch of loser called sfc. I have TRIED to support sfc in the 8 years I have lived here, but they are victims of the big business boys, and will always be losers.

We are all sorry you feel that way Jasper. Your love of grassroots football is to be commended...but since you do not support SFC...let alone care for them...I see no reason why you should waste your precious evenings on here....is it just boredom or what?

Tell you what nipper, if you think the way football is discussed has changed since 30-40 years ago, have a chat with your elder male relatives and prepare to be surprised

It started yesterday, having a dig at Dan from NZ, then anyone who stuck up for him, and has continued today sadly. I wish we could just get back to football matters and have a bit of a laugh, oh well..........
as most of us regulars know.....everybody's input is essential,that's what stimulates debate....couple that with some humour and mickey taking and it's all good fun !.....then you get the likes of (you know who)and it becomes personal.....well i for one will always stand up to these pratts,sorry but i can't help myself !
Hey Slugger, you post nothing but positive or constructive comments on this site. Dont get drawn in by these negative postings. I know they name you directly, but remember one thing. The majority of us know what you are about, and your brother. You are passionate about Saints and are fun too boot! Just ignore these wum, they dont gain any respect by name calling and p^"s taking, do as they say, ignore them and they will go away.
cheers saintjon.....sometim es i feel alone in taking on these fools and am concious of peeing others off......but why should they get away with it without challenge ???i'll always do it and that's why i'm a target..........fcuk off wums,you aint welcome !!!
Do you not realise mate that every time you respond to their wind ups they will want to come on here more and more.Normally i just scroll on by and look out for football related posts but just lately it`s turned into a real namby pamby bitchfest on here where every thread is being polluted by girliemen hoping for the last word...it`s all a bit pathetic really,just ignore the wums,and talk about football.

Spot on. Couldn't agree more!
Agree with all above. Our midfield take so long to get the ball forward, it just lets the other team shore up their defence. Wilkins stated we played good football in the middle of the park but did'nt do it in the two penalty areas. How many goals do you see scored from the middle of the park?. He then goes and takes off the only player that was actually running at their defence. We have a team at the moment that are to occupied looking at the bookie's odds and think they are better than any other team in this division. We need an army boot camp type manager to bring these players into focus and we need him now.We have the same chairman as last year and most of the same players and yet, no one, as far as i can remember was calling for him to leave. He is not a stupid man otherwise MARKUS would not have trusted him so much. There must of been a very good reason why he sacked A. PARDEW, but we will never know.It is my opinion that the anger and hurt we are all feeling should be directed at the players. They are the ones that cross that white line not N. C.
