This for me, while we probably will go down and, points deductions aside, it already looks like 3 from 4 at the bottom of the table will go down, we still have 30 games left to make a genuine fist of trying to stay up, Onuachu and ABK are here at least until January… use them! We have players with some quality, we shouldn’t be rolling over and accepting relegation just yet. Sack Martin and bring someone in that can organise a defence, someone that has no preconceptions about our players or favourites and just have a bash at survival. At the very least someone may shine that, if we do go down, may have their value increased that we can make some money on them. We likely won’t have Dibling, Ramsdale, THB, Fernandes, KWP, maybe Sugawara etc next season which would be gutting. It’s only October and we’re taking about the Championship season next season - that’s too early for me, the board just need to make the right calls.

I love Saints but fuck me do they make it hard work to love them. We're just the sort of bonkers club that would go to City and play brilliantly then get totally twatted by Stoke and Everton. Please God can the board just give us a chance and sack the manager. 8 games in and I still don't think Russ even knows what his best formation is, let alone his best team. I bet he even has trouble picking what he wants from the menu at a restaurant.

There's relegation though and then there's being the laughing stock of the whole world. We'll be mentioned in the same breath as Derby County if we don't change Russ... maybe even worse. He has to go.

Board need to act tonight.

Unbelievable. And yet not Unbelievable at all. Bye Russ.

Whilst it probably won't happen, if we win this it will be one of the sweetest victories we've had in years. I refer back to the second to fifth words of that sentence.

Missed the game up until now as been at a family lunch. Look at my phone and we're 2 up. Then bang. 2-1.

Win or bust. And not the good kind of bust.

Beats a humping.

Well, best go and do some work then.

At least give us time to celebrate and then put a bet on an Arsenal win ffs

U wot m8

Answers the hope I had that Stewart would be our saviour this season. BBD, Archer, AA and a most likely disgruntled Onuachu it is then. Options. 🙄

This’ll be like the Kelvin Davis Leeds game, smashed all match and win 1-0. …He says hopefully but with resignation to a humping.

Got to 12 minutes at nil. Only another 7/8ths of the game to hold on.

IF we win today, which we won’t, but if we do, I’ll post a picture of me kissing an effigy of Russ on this forum as an apology for how I underestimated his managerial nous.

Anything less than 9 please or I might get ptsd

He's lost it. Russ has lost it. I know what tbe answer is to our winless run... play Manning against Arsenal.

"Another goal update and we're back to the Emirates" "Yes you've joined me just as Arsenal get their sixth goal, a breakaway from a Saints corner and..."

Come on Saints, at least get a second and make the last few minutes interesting...

Avatar changed to Russ. For luck or something.

Trouble is, we knew we were going down this season so do we stick with Martin hoping he'll sort it long term or make the change the manager and try to fight for the right to stay in the League. We have decent enough players we just seem to struggle to find a combination that works. Over reliance on an (admittedly talented) 18 year old will not keep us in the league. And thats 2 nil.

Switched off. Awful

Cornet close.
