  1. sorry meant 4 from 36 points
  2. Lets keep RH because we cannot attract anyone better! Are you sure, a recent record of 4 out of 48point and that includes one win against the worst side in the PL, listen to yourselves I think anyone we chose could match that and probably better it I believe that our supporters are shot away like the manager, no ideas and to late to see need for a change. Why believe what is not working will work with no obvious proof it will. In fact the opposite is the case the evidence since the beginning of the year is that a change is required. I like RH but I liked people who worked for me but if they were not doing the job and there was no sign of improvement I got rid of them. So it not about liking people it about results The players are not that bad just give them a system of play where they can compete, move the ball quicker and stop passing back and whoever is manager you will see an improvement. Failing that we will be in the Championship this year or the next and RH system won’t work there. We want a manager who can use the players he has to form a team, and not a manager who plays a system that he does not have the players for.
  3. I think we played Ok but did not make many goal scoring opportunities for our forwards. We pass the ball to slowly between our centre backs and Romeu and JWP allowing the opposing side time to regroup in front of us. I think a change is required at home we need to break up Romeu and JWP they are both DM's its OK to play them at away matches but at home we need a more attacking option to break down the opponents defence any thoughts ( do we have such a player ?)
  4. poor performance , we need to play with 3 attacking midfielders at home and drop hoj or JWP having them in an away team is great but they offer no support to our attack at home .Until RH sees this we will struggle at home.
  5. Sorry did not understand only English international but you could add Rod and Danny Wallace (we have had some great players over the years) Sad that most teams are made up of imported players now I would like to see established players from Championship given a chance
  6. The problem is with picking a Saints best of all time (and England) is that you pick from players your have seen play in your lifetime I would pick Terry Paine the only other player I had seen who could matched him in skill playing for Saints was Channon I would also pick Ron Davies the best CF we ever had , scored goals for fun with his head no centre half or defence ever stop him. To support this he was also League top goal scorer three years in a row with a team fighting constant relegation battles. An opinion, but I wish we had the team from the late sixties now, almost unbeatable at home guts determination and no little skill with a great manager in Ted Bates they put this lot to shame. Downside they were awful away from home
  7. Cretinule it was not meant for you the English professor
  8. Puel style of football was rubbish it failed to excite the fans and we would have been relegated sooner or later under him look at his record since leaving not set the world on fire has he yet he been at decent clubs. Maybe you should look in a mirror before judging other supporters there's a lot of richard heads about. Same old excuse English is not his first language i bet it did not hinder his contract negotiate but it does seem to stop him communicating with his players what has he got to say about marking players defending is not about standing in a zone and doing nothing its about taking responsibility .Having our three tallest CB stood on the edge of the 6 yard box is not defending its taking them out of the game .Please with your superior knowledge explain why he does it. Why can he not explain to his players what are they meant to do there ( i have no clue), other than it not his first language which is the same for most prem footballers and managers yet other clubs seem to communicate OK .
  9. RH in the ECHO “It is in the moment not nice but this is also part of this job. It is not always nice, it is not always winning games, it is not always celebrating with the fans. It’s sometimes being out there and a little bit disappointed about what happens at the moment. “Still this is my job to hold the head up and try to find the right decisions.” Please a LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED and NOT ALWAYS WINNING GAMES (just one every now and then would be nice) After reading this sack him NOW PLEASE
  10. every player is under performing in our squad why? maybe poor leadership and tactics from RH I can understand why the player take all the blame their not very good , but even a poor 2nd division team can play well against PL teams when the structure and leadership set by the manager gives them the belief they can win or at least compete. When was the last time you thought we could win or compete in a match (not for a long time) whether RH is a good or bad manager is no longer important .The fact is he is not doing it here the players and fans have no faith in him and by his body language he has no faith in himself. If he does not move on or is sacked what is going to change to give us at least some hope of staying up or just improving our chances of winning a game . So to all you who wish him to stay I said good luck and relegation here we come without any sign of a fight (just blame the players ) all you have to look forward to is an empty St Marysand more strange decision when slecting our team is that what you all really want.
  11. as usual the same old suspect stating its not as bad as it seem . Rubbish every team needs leaders and structure poor players in a well organised system look good , good players in a poor system look poor. RH is not capable of setting out a system that allows our limited squad a chance to compete and stay compact in a game. He has had more than enough time to show his management ability and I am afraid it not looking good. What are you all expecting is going to happen we lost 9-0 the worse defeat in Premier history against Leicester not Liverpool ,Man U or City .A decent manager should be able to setup a side to defend and attack and compete if you do not want more of the Friday night experience man up and face the facts , unless drastic changes are made soon we are in for a long disappointing season. Stop fantasising things will get better (WHY SHOULD THEY) if no changes are made maybe .Concentrate on a balance team with a system that allows the players to compete we will not beat the better teams but may win a few against equal quality sides. Stop defending as a priority as we do not have the quality of player to achieve a shut out and lets scores some goals for a change and get us supporters some cheer
  12. I posted this after the Wolves A good performance against a poor team we should have won Our problem is that the team had 8 defensive players and only 2 attackers , they try hard but have no support from midfield, they are not good in the air so have limited chance of scoring against even a poor defence. RH is a limited coach who does not seem capable of seizing the opportunities that present themselves in the game. Poor and late substitutions more often having no impact on the game in reality making us poorer rather than better. Maybe our players are not up to much but give them a chance of winning with decent tactics . Our defence will always leak goals so the priority of the team should be to score to negate our poor defence, I do not think RH is capable of putting out an attacking team thats why our home form is so poor and we play better away from home until this is sorted we will always be a team in fear of relegation. I believe we have average players that are mid table at best but please give them a fighting chance by putting out a balanced team. RH must go his decision week after week of having 3 centre backs who stand in the box not marking or tracking anyone is mind blowing his choice of midfielders who cannot score run or make any sort of chance in a match is sackable on its own.He picks the team he decides the tactics or lack of . He is responsible for this shameful defeat I accept the players are to, but even a well setup 2nd division /non-league team defends better than us . Structure in a team is more important than the players available the manager is responsible for that RH has not shown any management skills this season if he stays we are relegated.

  14. Jinx there is no jinx just poor player selection no energy or creativity in the team RH Midfield too defensive minded to slow going forward to support our front line Hoj and JWP just not up to premier standard midfielders no pace no skill not really any good RH start being attacking minded with team selection or leave I suggest 442 lets at least give the players a chance of some sort of result
  15. The man's becoming a liability costing us 6 points with the Bournemouth game Not changing the formation until the 78 minute surely there is no excuse for such poor management.
