It's mad and I don't really blame Downs for this, it's all on Spors and his recruitment team

Media outlets still rubbing it in, laughing stock , by the time we play Preston it will be a year since Everton at home, one home win since then in 12 months, no wonder fans have had enough

Not looking good 😕

Feels like for that to happen we need to nick a few 1-0 wins , the 3 CB approach at home to teams like Swansea just doesn't make sense to me but perhaps Still is going for clean sheet safety first approach on the basis we're not capable of scoring goals I guess that makes sense. Don't concede then always have a chance

Official attendance of 27,256 but i'd say less that 27k in ground with season ticket no-shows, 4000 empty seats, fans starting to vote with their feet (and wallets) Warning to Sports Republic, apathy is building They're just lucky we have so many season ticket holders

It's a proper bogey ground for us. Wasn't it where we ended our 25 games unbeaten run under Martin? I'm afraid Mr Still's magnificent 4 game unbeaten run will probably go the same way. I've said the same thing in every build up thread, just can't see where the goals will come from, draw at best

Swansea were poor and there for the taking, we did not need three centre backs Crowd around me have had enough, players looked a bit dejected when boos rang out , fans expect better they should know that

Of course it's not all Still's fault, but 3 centre backs against Swansea sitting deep in a home match, he's a coward of a manager. Please please please Northam end banner next game just say "SPORTS REPUBLIC FUCK OFF YOU BUNCH OF CUNTS"

Yeah the propaganda (on here mostly) about how good our players are is over at least, regardless of manager I'm not having the bollocks about what a good squad we have any more

Got to go Sports Republic need to start receiving some proper abuse as well , should be scared to show their faces at St Mary’s

To be fair he's a young inexperienced manager, he probably is out of his depth, whether he can learn to swim in the choppy waters of the championship is TBC

Yeah bottom half championship, early kick off, ticket prices are too high - particularly for kids. Away corner holding just over 3000 will have about 900 in it leaving big 2k empty which is amplified by us having 1000 unsold either side of away fans as well. Probably be our lowest league attendance for a long time, 27k probably

All group games have Cat 1 to 4, it's pricing based on where the seat is so cat 4 in the corners, cat 1 half way line etc

"In the league" We won 5-0 with this team on boxing day 2023

Playing Swansea always reminds me of one of the greatest tv shows of all time

We're due a win then although i remember a good win for us there in 2003 league cup, bogey ground

Sounds like Quarshie might miss this game with an injury

And a 1-1 draw

We called him Iain Dowie Football Genius

Depending where you're travelling from it's probably still better to go direct to Waterloo on diverted train, as once there you can head to Waterloo East / London Bridge / Charlton, early ko so might as well drink cheap cans on the train, then pubs after. Going to Paddington you'd only have to head back towards Waterloo on the tube.

I met him once when he was working for sky, seemed a top bloke and spoke fondly about his days playing for Saints, always a shame to see things like this

Tickets already on sale https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/southampton-u21-vs-real-madrid-u21

It's kids half term so I'm going to take mine along, would be interested to know if teams are allowed to field some overage players like they can in PL2, would like to see Saints give a run out to a couple.of players who need minutes, Real Madrid might bring over Vini jr and Mbappe who apparently have always wanted to play at St Mary's
