I think if we fail to beat Sheff Wed at home in a couple of weeks and Lumley gets man of the match for them this place will combust

I didn't hear this last night but did leave before the final whistle, did we sing sacked in the morning?

That Sheffield Wednesday team won at Fratton, I'm not totally convinced we'd beat them at St Mary’s, now that would be the massive boulder that broke the camels back

Looking at recent form and current league table I'd go as far as saying defeat here could be the end for Still. Blackburn will certainly battle and were on the verge of beating Ipswich until late abandonment recently

I read earlier we've won 4 out of last 49 league games , it's been a horrible time to be a Saints fan

Good post, sums up my thoughts entirely.

First time really noticed fans starting to turn on him with boos and singing don't know what you are doing , that seemed mostly around Downs coming on , bit harsh , those boos should be passed on by both Downs and Still to land on Spors desk for signing him in the first place

I don't know if it's his body language, press conferences or what but Still has just never seemed that bothered about being here. He spoke about wanting to move back to UK to be with his Mrs who had a serious illness , not sure working for Saints was his primary motivation

That one made me laugh , also the many arrogant posts about how poor the championship was so even our players would dominated it. Week in week out we're being shown what a well organised group of hard working players can achieve compared to our bunch of jokers. Had an in depth debate on way home last night and conclusion was there probably is little point in sacking Still. Club is such a mess, recruitment is a disaster we spent a fortune and failed to address key areas. No confidence in Spors or any of the key decision makers. Season is a write off.

Just back, been a long day for more disappointment, up for work in a 5 hours , we're getting worse aren't we , absolutely no chance this side gets near promotion

He's been brilliant for them. Must chuckle to himself when he looks at the league table Loan only until Christmas I think

Game tonight away to Aldershot is the National league cup, bit of a waste of time as a competition and not one that Saints seem to be taking seriously having lost two out of two in the group stage so far, could be of interest still for anyone who can't face watching the first team play Bristol City https://www.theshots.co.uk/match-preview-southampton-u21-nl-cup/

Betting odds currently, would say that's about right Bristol City 6/4 SAINTS win 9/5 Draw - 23/10

If the game was a Saturday there would have been thousands coming by train, unfortunately we always seem to play midweek at Bristol city with no trains home nearly all will be coach and car

Brentford looked really good tonight I thought

Ironically Manning and Stephens were the goal scorers in our only home win in the last year

It's a very German thing, happens at all the games there where the crowd loudly shout each players name , can't imagine it catching on with us

I remember that, new years eve wasn't it in the championship though I think

Any basis to this?

Game is live on sky main event , 8pm ko, sold out away end 3,414 impressive numbers for a Tuesday night , hope we get something to cheer.

I would say a draw is very likely. Watched some of their game v Oxford and wasn't impressed , I think we'll struggle against their style though, we'll lose the ball in midfield they'll hit us on counter, also have big lad up top who is a bit of a handful

I think it's fair to say we don't want Martin back, but also acknowledge Martin was a better manager than Still in this league

I think as many people as possible need to copy and paste this post and email to Saints , subject FAO Sports Republic Ps those two home wins were far from convincing.

Ha yeah Cov have scored 29 goals in 10 games, we've scored 11 🤣 We'll be lucky to score that many by the new year
