  1. Sorry can’t help it if your reading skills are lacking. I take it as a part time fan, not supporter, you’ll be leaving the site soonest. lol
  2. Ah a newbie to supporting the Saints. Gotta learn to roll with the punches little man. Ha ha
  3. Admin Should we win on Saturday will you be removing all the faux Saints supporter trolls who have slated NJ on here from before he joined the club. Now the team have begun to perform, you can already hear the screech of burnt rubber as they perform U turns. You can easily identify them as they are so embarrassed they continue to refer to anything but NJs continued progress in the role by either giving large about the Forest game or how they 'would love to be proved wrong'. We even have some getting tearful that NJ does answer back when he gets abused. Win or lose on Saturday, it does show every club has its contingent of plastic fans, no matter the length of time they purport to have supported us.
  4. Whatever age, certainly seems more educated than your idiotic rant. Get a grip.
  5. If so called fans are going to moan that we won, that we were lucky and that Jones should still go then they should start looking for another team. It's early days and who can predict but that was a better performance, not great, but a definite improvement. COYR
  6. I fully accept NJ start has not been the most impressive (understatement) but I firmly believe we need to give him a fair chance, the term fair being subjective of course and will differ for each of us. Some on here didn't want him in the first place, some have given up on him and others, perhaps we are few, are prepared to allow him some time. I wholeheartedly agree Wednesday nights performance was abysmal, I can't recall so much long ball, to the point I started to get a stiff neck. Why do I say give him time? The club seem to be supportive, we are recruiting players, indeed if you believe some of the posts on here, even some back room staff. Why when you have players coming in, presumably based on NJs requirements, would you then jettison him before he has had a chance to implement his ideas using these new additions. Its not as though we were high flying under RH (who I would have had stay. Get rid now and we would likely have another incoming manager cast their rule over these new arrivals and if unsatisfied then potentially go on another recruitment drive to fulfil his requirements? All precious time lost in my opinion. My view is we see what he does in these next two cup matches and then scrutinise the team set and performance against the Toffee's. If by that time it remains hoofing it up to our diminutive 'strikers' and I use the term strikers loosely, then perhaps we will have to accept he is not the man for us and make a quick panic buy for a manager in the mould of a Dyche. I hope of course that we will start to see the development of a cohesive team and a manager with a discernible way or style of playing - We can but hope!
  7. I thought we saw signs of improvement today, some nice pass and move as well as more fight and vigour. Pleased to see JWP score (his second not first lol) as can't do any harm to his confidence or that the team. Each individual made mistakes, but then doesn't every team, it's just at the moment it seems so called fans latch on to these and pillory the player not very support-ish if you ask me! As for NJ, it's early days, I have no idea if he is the right appointment but what is done is done. As the saying goes - Roma (sic) wasn't built in a day. Clearly things today were better than against Brighton and I suspect he is learning with every game who can hack it and who can't. Albeit I accept that we may run out of time before he knows his final 11, has them is bedded in and working as a functioning unit. The upcoming window will be crucial, be it loanees or contracted players we clearly need a striker (preferably two) and a more experienced, natural leader to assist both on the pitch and in the dressing room. Extras in midfield would be a bonus but the need is clear - striker, striker, striker. One query I do have for NJ is why S Armstrong isn't starting as it seems to me that today his introduction was one of the defining moments that signalled a notable improvement. Perhaps his fitness is an issue, if not then for me it is a quandary. To those on here who are already calling for NJs sacking, give some thought to his situation. He knew there were 'issues' as did we and the club hierarchy. He has inherited those players and like Ralph is no doubt questioning who is up for the relegation battle, who is there only for the money along with this are disillusioned after having been sold the fantasy of Saints being a shop window.. Keep the faith for if we jettison NJ, no one will be coming to us as we'll be adopting the 'Watford way' in respect of management appointments. We have the games, we just need one or two players and supporters who support.
  8. We'll same old same old. Really poor response to what was an important game, a notable lack of positivity, pitiful mind set all round. NO not the saints team, but the usual moaning so called fans on this forum. As soon as we scored you could hear the collective bed wetters groaning that we might just get a win with Ralph and the team taking some credit. So if your not pleased with tonights performance, and in some cases I'm sure the outcome, can I suggest you don't just stop supporting Saints, but instead stop watching football. Instead why not try doing something you might actually enjoy in your spare time.
  9. Another words Saints didn't deserve anything from the game and the draw was all down 1. The weather 2. Bamford being subbed. Jeez, accept we had a reasonable and certainly as good a first half as Leeds, then came back strongly and deserved the result. I wonder why so many of you bother following us, as you don't seem to want to offer praise when it is deserved.
  10. It never ceases to amaze how many of our so called 'fans' want us to lose, if it gives them ability to criticise Ralph. It clearly irritated some of the posters that we came back from a 2 goal deficit, you can almost hear them groaning as our goals went it. Reading some of the comments here, you have ask if either these so called fans didn't go to the game, are so myopic they can't see some positive signs or they are so embittered with Ralph anything he does will never be good enough. We should (steel helmet at the ready for incoming) accept that he has new players, they need bedding in and that started in earnest today. It will take time before we and Ralph see the first 11, but today was a step in the right direction. If nothing else ask your self how often we come back from 2 behind? Enough said.
  11. Yes like so many I blame the manager for seemingly being unable to choose the right players and yet I also blame some of our players for a lack of desire and frankly a lack of skill. The latter I don't blame them but our recruitment staff as if you haven't got it, you haven't got it and certainly the likes of Cedric & Romeu haven't got it. Anyone who references back to last year as regards Romeu, note this season he's poor and thats being charitable. They are unable to pass the ball to each other when under pressure, couldn't score in a Derby Rd brothel and have more chance of the lottery at this rate than at the likes of WB. Play the youngsters, your guaranteed as least some commitment, some pride and perhaps some results that favour us.
  12. Right - Solution to our woes Bench the following for the next three games:- Tadic, Cedric, Davis, Romeu, Hoedt,. Start with Sims, Hesketh, McQueen and any other youngster who is on the edge of the 1st team. At least with youngsters you will get players who want to aspire to the first team. Currently we have a number of regulars who either aspire to keep their wages or go to a supposed 'bigger club'.
  13. I presume this is your first season, wait until you have been supporting Saints for some years then you may understand.
  14. Good solid performance, with no one letting us down. Nice to see a change in keeper, might benefit Forster to have a break and relieve some of the pressure he has been under. As for those expressing the view players now seem to be 'playing for the manager', thats an interesting interpretation. Another might be, 'the club has a war chest to spend, numerous players being linked with us and my place might now be in danger, I'd better put in a shift'. I hope that latter version is not the case but call me Mr Cynical, it seems strange some players actually stepped up today
  15. I certainly endorse your second point about the treatment of Puel. I would caveat your first by saying if this debacle tonight leads to a reassessment and positive change by the manager and/or club then it may be beneficial to have suffered such an humiliation.
