2-1 Saints in by heart but head is undecided, especially if those nasty watford boys can kick the ball in the air or take a long throw in

now something the Trust could promote rather than spouting of in the Echo

because imo without hold heads, which both Bale and Walcott had, we will ruin his long term career. I am all for playing young players but the current fad of building them up to be world beaters is not helping them , expectation levels are increased and then deflated.Crowds drop off and the mood round the city becomes even more depressed. We just are playing to many at once and watching their performances at the back they are poorly coached in the art of defending

Hope not , lets let his career develop rather than just play him because he may be better than James

yes but ordinary businesses trade and have dealings with their customers every day, and whose heads does rupert bang together. Your statement adds to my thoughts that he has always stuck his nose into areas he is no expert in

i hope everyone going has a great time, i worked in Boston many years ago for a couple of months and watched the Patriots at Foxboro. The day long experience with my American friends was great, although watching the game live from a distance is quite difficult.

lets hope he is given time to develop in his job

Strategies have i missed something?

Sorry just cannot get exited by the fact that Simon Gillett is back. That will add a few thousand to the gate Stop talking a good game and start winning a few is the only way forward.

I have always wondered what a chairman/ceo of a football club actually does day to day. We trade about once a fortnight for 9 months, have department heads for the football, and commercial side of the business. Turnover is , what £6/7m now, we just seen top heavy imo it is not a full time job

Agree about the winning bit. I watch lots of youth football and the problem is WE are like lots of Tyro league sides pass the ball well, lots of clever flicks etc, problem is the nasty big boys kick the ball in the air, tackle and stop the fancy dans. You need skill and strength , one alone is not enough. In the previous season we had no skill now we have no strength

common ground we should work for the UN

Only comparing him with Crouch, imo the vast majority want all PAST CHAIRMAN gone for good

Nick I appreciate what you are trying to say but it is also insulting the intelligence of waviering fans, they only have to look at the results, turn on the radio or read the papers to know that we are playing sterile , non productive losing football. Me i will be at SMS saturday but unless we string a few wins together, irrespective of the style, i will be surrounded by more empty seats than full ones

Disagree, the vast majority did not want Lowe back but that is not the reason the crowds are low. That is down to sterile losing football. Crowds will return if we string together a few wins

will we see the like again ? 55 next year , will it be in my lifetime

NO just beating Aldershot reserves is nothing to get exited about. The next thing someone will be telling us what great players we have in reserve, all we are doing is building them up for a fall.

how old is your son , Matt

big deal

ruperts reaching for his gun

if you follow the Profs logic we should be all happy in the Wessex League if we had 11 home grown kids

you need a leader both on and of the pitch who people , those who do not go, repect and relate to oh dear

the interesting thing with the price argument is at what price do you get people to come and watch us lose home games. unless we start winning i am not convinced price is a major factor

JUST the government buying another lame duck

Spain cleaning Hoddles boots ?
