Still has been a big disappointment for me. I expected more. Yes he was dealt a poor hand in the summer but players like Fellows and Azaz are experienced Championship players who under his management look mediocre at best. His demeanour, his harping on about inheriting a hangover from last season are becoming tedious and irritating. Accepting this season is a write off in terms of promotion and we have enough about us to avoid relegation, will the Board stick with him because there no other viable options? That's the million dollar question sitting right now on Dragan's desk. He is a man with business problems mounting up, but I hope he is giving the future of Southampton his undivided attention right now because we are fast approaching critical crossroads.

Saints fans have now seen just one win (Wrexham) at home in 365 days - a whole calendar year, so no wonder some are mightily pissed off. That is a shocking record and probably unprecedented. In fact I can hardly believe it. 1 home win in a year😱

St Mary's fans have now seen just one win at home in 365 days - a whole calendar year, so no wonder some are mighty pissed off. Wood might have been frustrated but should have waited until the dressing room to vent his ire at his fellow pros.

Yep but only just. A defeat tomorrow....... My reasons? 1. Not sure there is anyone better out there who would come. 2. I think our player recruitment in the summer has dealt him a poor hand. 3. He has potential - his record says that 4. We have had far to much instability with our managers which has meant promising players like Ballard/Amo-Ameyaw fall through the net.

I remain in the "keep Still in" camp, but his press comments are beginning to grate. Harping on about last year is just grasping at straws and we won't move on until he stops mentioning it. Yes the players must shoulder a lot of the blame, but Still has chopped and changed the team so much I think half them don't know their arses from their elbows. Look at Fraser. Unexpectedly he started the season in good form only to inexplicably lose his place as Still juggled and tinkered. Now he looks back to his poor form of last season. Robinson was one of our best players in pre season and looked to fill the hole left by Dibling, but under WS has regressed. There are others who have gone backwards - Fellows, Azaz, Manning, Harwood-Bellis. Meanwhile players we let go are flourishing. Bree, Taylor, Onuachu to name but 3. At the end of the day a good manager improves players, brings them on and gets the best out of them but the exact opposite is. happening from where I am stood. I am sure there is a good manager in there with Still but we sure as hell haven't seen it yet.

I keep reading the line "we don't want to become another Watford" I get it but........but right now I would swop places with them in the league.

Neither would unite this particular fan. Both are busted flushes.

A massive No from me. He was only effective with Rohl as his number2. By the time he left he was universally hated by all the players. Zilch man management skills. It would be foolhardy to even think about it. If he was the only option I'd keep Still

Watford are currently six places above us in the League. Just saying.

Er score 6 goals in 6 games?

My point is you couldn't be bothered to watch the whole match and yet you found time to criticise those who did (who were being negative because what they were watching in the first half wasn't very good). Sorry Sue that is hypocrisy. If fans or supporters want to be negative while watching a match that surely is their business without the high and mighty preaching from someone who isn't as negative because they didn't.... probably watch the first half.

Sue you slag off "the negative posters" but then admit you didn't see the first half. Maybe criticise the views when you have seen the whole 90 minutes. Just a thought.

I think I am correct in saying after only 7 games only one player has started all 7 , namely Shea Charles. Sort of tells its own story.

Plenty of managers of ours didn't move their families over here. Ralph and Koeman are just two. If you have young kids in school its impractical. Let's judge him on his recruitment - ( I accept the jury is very much still out).

Dragan attends about 6 home games a season. He has a few issues with his company at the moment which takes up a lot of his time. I've seen a fair bit of criticism towards PP. I was invited to the Pompey game as his guest in the board room. I recently lost my wife so it was a nice gesture. I can categorically say from what I observed PP lives and breaths the club. He couldn't eat before the game, he was so nervous and afterwards he was as upset at out performance as any fan I have seen. I don't know for absolute certain he was at Hull but I recall him telling another director he was thinking of going up on the Friday. Although I don't know enough about the inner financial workings of the club I can certainly guarantee his committment and determination to making us more competitive. He is working on lots of plans, some of which are significant, to boost our revenues. I found him open, honest and a straight talker. I guess you can only speak as you find. I also spent a long time talking to Johannes Spors. Again a very articulate, intelligent and friendly man who appearted dedicated to the cause. He has a young family living in Germany but has moved here to be completely hands on. Obviously his recruitment is very much under the spotlight right now and I sensed he was feeling the pressure. Although Dragan was not there, everybody else was and one thing I came away with was they are all very committed.
