Morgan should be fit to face Wolves

Comments (54)
MORGAN Schneiderlin should be fit for Saints’ game against Championship table toppers Wolves on Saturday.
The French midfielder was forced out of the game at Bristol City through an injury picked up in training two days previously.
Schneiderlin, whose performances since signing for Saints have even seen him linked with a January move to Arsenal, will be back in the reckoning for the visit to St Mary’s of Mick McCarthy’s men.

JP will pick a better mix of experience and youth, the 2 strikers up front will shoot past the keeper rather than at him and the back 4 won't give away any soft goals or stupid penalties.

Rupert Lowe does interfere in team affairs.
Bassett was answering questions on relegation, in place of regular Stan Collymore.
When one phone-in fan asked about Southamptons chance of avoiding further relegation here is some of his comments.
Souhampton are very niave at the back, very exciting, very inexperienced.
But watching them all the other managers must be rubbing their hands together to play them.
Their manager seems to be niave as well, he hasn't come to terms with english football yet.
Too many youngsters all at the same time.
I know their chairman Rupert Lowe claim its cost cutting, but having experienced some time there with Harry Redknapp. I know he was always wanting us to play the young players.
Every week Harrys selection was picked over, every week Rupert Lowe insisted he included more youngsters, every week Harry resisted.
Whilst Harry and I were in charge that was not a problem however annoying it was. Then Rupert got two of his buddies involved, one from a non league club, one from another sport.
This was the end of Harry he walked as soon as an offer came in. I stayed for a while but could see how the wind was blowing.
Several ex Saints managers warned me not apply for Harrys job, because Rupert had always interfered in their job on the same lines.
In the end I was not offered the job, probably Rupert knew I would ignore his orders.
Thank you very much to Dave Bassett for having the courage to speak out.
To all those fans who dont understand why some supporters are boycotting SMS until Lowe goes, now you know.
The time for burying you heads in the sand over what is happen must end if we are to save our club from further disaster.
We are on a downward spiral and Lowe is in charge. Vote with your wallets and join the thousands not attending SMS until Lowe and Wilde resign for good.
If you are not attending SMS as a result of Lowes interfernce, please drop me an email stating the number of adults and children boycotting.
Lowe out, Wilde Out, JP Out.

The football played under Redknapp/Bassett was rubbish, some of the worse I have seen at either the Dell or SMS.
The football being played now is far better to watch.
So we have lost a few games, at least the 'Boys' are trying their best. Which never happened under the above two or the new scottish manager.
If you want to stay away, then do that. But stop posting things like " we are on a downward spiral" how the hell would you know, you're not there to see.
I would also like to thank the Northam End for their support against Bristol, just keeping singing like that and we will be moving up the league.

St Jez, and Satellite, and St Retford,
I was at the match and my voice is regularly heard on this site. The only unfortunate thing is that there could (with just a little bit of effort) be so many more like you and I, at the ground and on this site, making positive. I know it sometimes gets tedious listening to the same old record, but we must not give in to the minority, and we have to keep putting that positive point of view across for the sake of our club.
I agree with absolutely all you have to say, and from talking to people day to day I know most people share most of our beliefs. Of course there are moans and groans when we lose and the same thing happens over tactics and teams selections, and I include myself in that number. Jesus, these things all happened when Bates was manager, and Lawrie Mac, and Ballie, so it doesn't just happen when things are going badly wrong. This is football, and I have supported Saints for over 40 years, and believe me it has always been this way. The only difference is that those doing the moaning always find their way back to support the team they love. The game has changed - hence the speed with which managers are replaced, the foreign invasion into our game, and the clout that fans now for some reason THINK they have in the running of their club.
At the end of the day we pick the club we wish to support and we pay for that privilege. We then have the option of staying a supporter (through thick and thin) or we can push off somewhere else when the going gets tough. I personally do not think there is an in between where we hound Board members, stage protests, and continually bombard websites with distasteful emails when we go through a bad patch.
This is not me living in the dark ages - just saying it as it is.
I support my team and would not feel right doing anything that undermined the guys who pull on our shirt to play their guts out for me. As you say, these poor kids must be reading and listening to all the sick nonsense being put about and wondering what the hell is going on.
Come on the rest of you fans with decent things to say - lets hear you

I do however think that JP is being a bit naive about the best way to play teams in the CCC. We need to play 2 strikers upfront McGoldrick looks out of his depth without a mate to pass to in order to facilitate movement into the oppositions penalty area. Our midfield still seem to be slow off the mark to provide support and are playing too deep allowing the opposition to much room to get back at us. This season is going to be heart stopping stuff.
Just to conclude I am not a Lowe/Wilde supporter but what alternative is there? Come on all you negative posters how can you persuade a sugar daddy to take on Saints in their very precarious financial position? Even if Saints was sold who's to say that the new owner will not be just as interfering?
Please put the team first the supporters are worth an additional player if we are all behind team.

My point is Lowe is the negative factor which is destroying our club.
He has made bad choices as Chairman which has got us relegated, split the fan base and created an enviroment where we are forced to play our youth team to balance the books.
My feelings about the football played under previous managers or the players bought into the club are not in my observations.
My point is 100% Lowes interference with footballing matters and his decisions have got us where we are today.

I read on the saints trust website that our friends down the road are likely to have new owners (south african) with even more money. That will widen the gap further between us and make me even more depressed!
Isn't this the area where Lowe is supposed to be an expert? Much better he comes up with something there than spending his time messing with the team!

Of course it's depressing to come on here and read about Lowe-although I have to say that's not half as depressing as thinking that he has any input into team matters.

SIMPLE, you must be, the Saints are part of a PLc. Accounts are Audited every 6 months. I have a copy of every Financial Statement issued, nowhere, does it show that Lowe 'lined' his pockets in any year of being Chairman.
However, they do show that some players were paid more than he received.
You and a few others on this site should be more careful with printing false imformation. Because there is a court case where Directors of a Club are suing supporters, as far away as the USA for such reasons.
If you have proof that Lowe has 'lined' his pockets with the PLc's money, let us see it in writing on this site. If you have not and its just your loose tougue, BEWARE!!

At the time of posting, 28 contributions have been posted on this page today. 18 of them have been positive, 10 have been negative, of which SEVEN have been posted by just TWO, I repeat TWO regular self acclaimed supporters who advocate that fans should show their support for the club by staying away from matches.
I'll leave it to you to judge the strength of the opposing argument.

Good Evening all, it's me again. I have a proposal for all Saints fans - including the anti-Lowe's like me who vowed never to spend whilst he was at the helm...please read on.
I was awoken by a dream at 2am this morning which liberated a couple of hours before work for thought!
My first thought was that IF every fan currently attending SMS was to persuade a friend to go with them the attendance would be virtually to capacity. This will never happen!
My second thought then was to demonstrate to the Lowe, the board and potential investor what Saints are all about. I am proposing the fans unite - the Lowe Luvvies and Anti-Lowe's for one home match per month for the rest of the season. Cost may prohibit this being done every home game - but once a month seems fair. For their part the club open every part of the ground and the fans fill the stadium, get behind the team for 90 minutes - not one moan or groan - just 90mins of songs, chants and encouragement.
The next home game those real fans turn up again...15,000. The statement being "It's our club - we want it back". The following month the same thing...Mr Lowe if you go we will keep coming, but this is your last chance.
I would hope that this promoted 2-things:
1) An intimidating atmosphere for the away side.
2) Give our lads a boost and confidence to win.
The knock on from this will be the Board (and main share holders) will see Mr Lowe for what he is and get him out. Mr Lowe in his turn will allow investment on terms agreeable to the shareholders...not just him.
This will then put the club in a position to understand the true fans base, and the affect of the "Never again with Lowe in charge" factor. Some estimate nearly 1,000 - others a sum more. I'm not saying it's the other 15,000 - but if you want a club to be proud of you need to fight for it.
This message needs to driven home on every forum, in The Echo, and other froms of press. The Saints Trust should do something - but why do I in the tiny market town in the East Riding Of Yorkshire try to come up with ideas. It needs organising - we can make it count.
This post is dedicated to Derek and Kate...I've not turned the corner yet, but I think getting people in and generating that sort of atmosphere may get people going back, and maybe enjoying it again.
So UTS, Denzil et al (who is al?) what about it? Show the board SMS has the fan base to support a once great club, and get the financial backing we desire - and finally show them that the Lowe factor is a MAJOR factor

I have been criticised for being "holier than thou" but that person could not find it in themself to come back and tell me why. I have also been called "condescending" and again - no facts came forward to back it up.
If my beliefs, views, and opinions hurt or upset people - I am sorry, but please tell me why.
I have never slagged anyone off on this site, been aggressive, or resorted to name calling. Except for UTS that is, who confounds me with his irrational comments.
It is so good to have real proof that the good comments by far outweigh the bad, and that most of the bad (as I have already suggested) come from only a couple of people in the main.
All I want to do is support my team and try to give an honest and fair assessment of what they try and do for us supporters when they pull on the red and white. I have also said so many times that I am not a Lowe fan, but I feel that what goes on in the Boardroom at the moment is secondary.
Every fan has the right to go or stay away from matches, and they also have a right to like or dislike anyone at the club. From where I am standing, the thought of letting some obsessive mindset over our Chairman, ultimately wreck our club by having a portion of the fan base missing from matches is sheer lunacy.
It is ovious that the problem is so deeply engrained in the brains of SOME supporters that they will indeeed stay away all the time Lowe and Wilde are here. Their choice, and to my mind their loss.
However, I am positive there are so many fans who do not have such a deep seated hatred, and you are the fans who can make a difference. Lets see all of you start posting messages of support on this site to make the margin between the good message and bad message much much bigger. You can do it and you can also start dragging yourself back to SMS. It won't always be pretty and for sure we will lose matches, but you lot hold the key. You could just mean the difference beteen the relegation these protesters seem to want with a vengeance, and staying up
Go for it. The lads deserve it and you know it makes sense.

OK let's pick the game for December 2008 & Jan 2009 for the "sell-out" crowd.
WE must write to the club requesting all the ground is made available for these games on the premise we are going to fill the stadium. This "filling of the stadium" is to help the finances, help the team and demonstrate we can unite behind an ideal...and this ideal is to get rid of Rupert Lowe. I know Xmas is coming - but £24 is £6 week - a packet of fags or two pints...so there is no excuse.
The more unfashionable the team the better.
We must get the message across via the press and TV. Nick Illingsworth for all his faults seems to get interviews and in print - so what about it Saints Trust?

I secretly think your tongue is so far into your cheek you look almost pornographic.
Anyway, I am up for it, but you were already aware of that fact.
I think the increase (irresppective of results) should be gradual so as not to alarm the club and the stewards. As for having the whole gound - do you really think you would have to go on bended knee to the Lowe fellow? If gates were to sneak up, and advance tickets for a particular match were substancial the whole ground would be available. If you guys hate Lowe and are incensed that he has shut parts of the ground - force him to re-open them by filling the bloody stadium. It's a no brainer isn't it?
I think we give everybody a chance to get used to being back there, and it should therefore be the last match of the year. It would be so good to have a sellout game as we watch Reading's championship hopes take a dent.
Yep - the eternal optomist, but you cannot deny there is a an upturn in the amount of positive thoughts this site is attracting.
You can have whatever glory you wish to extract from this, and you know I will keep the faith. The hope is that you can restore some of yours - genuinely.
Come on you upbeat supporters - where are your positive thoughts. Lets kick this pessimism and gloom out or our club. We are better than this, and history proves we used to have bloody good supporters who appreciated good football, and accepted that although we are basically a small club we could never be knocked for our support of the men/boys in red and white.
So what are you going to do about the dissent you keep hearing, and how strong are your feelings for the once great club of yours. It needs your help boys, or else it will slide into obscurity. Complacency is not an option

They may be youngsters but they still cost us money which could be put to work elsewhere.

The Arsenal Academy proved last night against Wigan what youngsters can achieve. But that's the Arsenal displaying the crown jewels. Sadly Rupert you are trying to emulate them working with what Gerald Ratner described as 'crap'.
What you have in your shop window Rupert nobody is buying. Falling attendances are testament to that.

Thank you for your email.
We cannot currently agree to open the corners of the ground, as the costs we are saving by keeping them closed simply cannot be ignored. By opening even the blocks 1-3, this would increase Police costs for the game, and this is something we need to keep down. In an ideal world, we would love to make a “gesture” and open them, however, given the clubs well publicised financial situation, this is something we cannot do.
Rather than directing your efforts to the Sheffield Wednesday fixture, you may have read that we have cut prices for the Nottingham Forest game (20th December) to £15 and £5 across the ground. We are hopeful that this reduced price, rather than the opening of corners, will encourage some fans to return as we try and compete with the Christmas £. At the same time, should enough people buy tickets for this game, we will be forced to open the corners to accommodate the extra supporters.
I am sorry I cannot be fully supportive, but I do hope you can see we are trying to the best of our current abilities
So I will hold out until we sell out for the Firest game the weekend before Christmas - a normally poorly attended game due to the festivities - and hope the Itchen North opens.
So if we get the tickets sold for the Sheff Wednesday game - and they open the corners can we transfer there? I'll ask!

We are better than this, and history proves we used to have bloody good supporters who appreciated good football, and accepted that although we are basically a small club we could never be knocked for our support of the men/boys in red and white.
So what are you going to do about the dissent you keep hearing, and how strong are your feelings for the once great club of yours. It needs your help boys, or else it will slide into obscurity. Complacency is not an option

Whilst there at maybe they would also like to contact Stuart Gray, Steve Wigley and even Mr Sturrock ! On Lowe intefering with team affairs.
No need to contact 'Patsy Porto' as we all know he is just a Lowe puppet.
