Saint Gifford

I haven’t got a crystal ball, but holy crap. Surely this was always going to be the outcome this season with this clown. His stubborn ideas he was spouting before he took his first training session. This was only going one way, with him unfortunately.

At least I’ve got my weekend back on the 25 / 26. At least I can cut the grass, and maybe trim the hedges.

Bring on any team in the playoffs. We have the quality, just unfortunately the elephant in the room is RM. Just don’t think he has the skill set to navigate the playoffs.

Not being the doom and gloom merchant here, but that was plainly obvious before the first ball was kicked this season. Another experiment, we should have walked or certainly been top two all season.

It’s promotion under Adkins all over again. ( if we can make it 🤞) I loved Adkins for the record, but when you look back in hindsight, absolutely the right thing to do letting him go in the big league. Potchs coming in was a master class, just hope SR have the same drawer of names, and the stones to do it. Got to go up and I am believing now. But RM unfortunately IMO will be a casualty along with a few of the squad. In fairness RM has done a great job. But to stay in the prem a few quid and a flexible, willing to adapt manager.

To be fair he is a ok mid table Championship, L1 manager as most have said. I’m all for finding the next Pep, Jose, and so on and so on. But was RM ever going to be the next cool, hip, and most importantly successful manager that SR wanted. Table says it…….

Sorry RM.

I am far from a football manager, but can RM not just mix it up and rattle the opposition. We look like we go into every game with our opponents and manager, knowing exactly how we will play. What is wrong with giving the opposition a bit of possession forcing an error and causing chaos on the break. This is not F;:£ing Sunday league level. One plan like everyone on this forum says, really worry about getting through the semis let along making Wembley.

Only thing I would add, if we don’t go up, what about the kids in the academy. Haven’t heard a lot about if any of them are ready to make the step up to the First team. Im talking particularly about our U18 scholars. I would not want a team of kids next season, but just wondering if a couple in there are nuggets worth giving a go. Either attacking or defensively.

Anyone got Warnocks number for the playoffs.

Sorry, I don’t get to the ground as much as I would like. (Youngest plays at 3 pm Saturday) I enjoyed today, ( Che 🤯🤯🤯) driving back though made me realise if we are going to lift the play off trophy need RM to ramp it up. He needs a lesson in positivity. Give Cameron Hughes a call and pay for his flight, we going to need that.

Plays offs it is I guess

Tbf we are where we are, which is great with the level of coaching and choice of the last 3 managers. RM must be thinking wow Playoffs that’s exactly what I thought. We clearly had a budget to tempt RM, a typical Championship manager. As a result our current position is absolutely fair given the managers experience. Leeds , Leicester recognised the level of exposure at Premier League and what it takes to be around that environment for a manager/ Head Coach. Imo it’s no surprise to see where those two teams are at the moment and likely to finish. Exactly why we are where we are and will end up finishing. RM has done a very, very good Championship job. Fair play to him, as a Saints fan is that what I want. No….,

Just don’t bring back the Solent Waves away kit. (Mine is still wrapped up no name or number, waiting for it to be worth 1000’s) 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

He will be driving a Volkswagen then I guess. Great manager take him back in a heartbeat. Been watching a few Bunds league games and apart from the top three, the rest would struggle in the Championship. Really surprised he never got a shot back in the prem. He was on Man Utd shortlist at some point if memory serves correct, and if you believe the press. Best of luck to him

My tenner might be good after all. 😁

Agree with you. But playing against a poor Chelsea team that tbf are mid table Prem at the moment, and that’s a complement to them. Feel a bit for Potts, I bet he’s thinking what have I walked into. Can’t see him lasting much longer. Reaction to his subs said it all both the good one and and the bad one.

As an England fan obviously, never got the Sterling thing for all these years. Guess he’s made his point.

Ive had a tenner for the final top 4. 1. Leeds 2. Southampton 3. Leicester 4. Ipswich 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

Thankyou

I know it’s not PNE, but I’ve just noticed our away game at Leicester has been postponed on the 16th March with no new date. When did that happen?. I guess for TV or the magical mystery of the EFL / FA.

GD, us and Ipswich could come into play before we get to the last couple of games. Defence, Attackers ???

Knew it, RM just hasn’t got the stones. While I'm typing 3-4, but still doesn’t change my opinion.

Really good first twenty minutes 1/2 hour, but very naive. I would really fear for us in the Prem if we go up, which I still think we will either automatically or playoffs. Would need a proper DOF spending money absolutely properly, and not just wasting it.

Our once famed academy. Liverpool youngsters have been really good. But how has our academy fallen so behind. I’ll answer my own question, the club has had some mixed priorities and owners in the last few seasons.
