Should be all in for Mark Robins. The next out the door needs to be Spors. What a legacy, this awful appointment, a new deal for Stephens and Damian Downs.

Getting beyond a joke now. Still is useless and needs to go. Sports Republic are worse. Any fan still buying merchandise, tickets and using the fanzone are paying into their coffers. Sport Republic needs to be completely boycotted, we are a pointless player trading company.

For a start the fans still bothering to go could boycott all merchandise, not spend at the fan zone and don’t buy anything in the concourse. Only way these wankers Sports Republic will learn.

No chance of the second part, of the final paragraph, was still weak fans clapping them off today. The first part of your final paragraph is spot on.

On the way home now. Still’s decision to sub off Scienza on 68 mins is the worst substitution I have seen made since watching saints in 1994. Absolute joke, no doubt now we are in a relegation dog fight.

I’ve got 2 travel and 2 tickets to this. Please someone take them off me, open to any offer. Not an easy sell I accept, I just can’t be bothered to go.

Reality is that is what it takes to actually get some change. Our fans passive nature doesn't help. Dare say there were more clapping them off yesterday? Fans need to start acting, stop spending money at the silly fan zone, have a pop at the players/manager/Spors, and stop spending money on the club. Until that happens nothing will change.

I remember a 0-3 win at Ashton Gate in an early league cup round game. Must have been around 2002? Anyway, it wont be a 0-3 away win tomorrow. Draw at best.

The only way to get through to Sports Republic is to hit them in their wallet. After the shitshow they have overseen I can’t believe hoards of people are still queuing to spend £7 a pint in the fanzone. It should be completely boycotted. Support the local pubs ffs. All I can see they have produced is some fancy technology to reduce queues for an over priced sausage roll at half time. Well if performances don’t improve there won’t be any half time queues, performances like this will lead to 20k attendances over winter. Solak needs to have Spors in a meeting first thing, justifying what he saw in Downs. A £7m striker not getting off the bench (rightly cause he is utter shite) in a game like that shows how bad a job Spors has done. The performance was better, but Still has some serious questions to answer yesterday. How can he persist with 5 at the back for 97 mins against probably the worst side I’ve seen us play at SMS? Fellows is also a good player, he brings him on at rwb, therefore spending his whole cameo with his back to goal. Why is Aribo not on the bench ahead of the aforementioned retard Downs?

Here are some stats for you. 2 home wins since the play off final. 4 wins in almost 50 games 1 win in 9.

Yet another game where Still would have had to turn his laptop off before saving. Fellows was our best player first half mid week, Scienza was today, yet he hooked both. I dare say Scienza will be dropped against Swansea. Surely when you have supposedly better players the tactics should be to attack at all times? He persists with 5 at the back which is negative and to make matters worse gives Downs minutes. I can only assume he has a preference for a big centre forward to lump it up too, in which case we would be better getting Nathan Jones back. As I said last weekend, stop talking about promotion if we put a run together, it’s embarrassing with the current set up.

Seems overly positive on here to me? I’m still reading posts on automatics if we put a run together, saints are marching on and lots of encouragement to take. Honestly the thread really doesn’t read as if we’ve just thrown a lead away at home to Middlesbrough. Is that our bar now? Yes Still made some good calls on throwing the two idiots out at centre back from Hull, but any of us could have called that. He then proceeded to lose that good will by taking Fellows off at a key time in the game, when he was getting us up the pitch.

Wood is by far our best centre back. Damian Downs is the worst player I have seen in a Saints shirt in some time. Ekitike is thick as shit.

By far the worse derby match I have seen both on and off the pitch, and that includes when we lost 4-1 at home. Stadium layout clearly doesn’t work and that proves it. Ironically the last game we had with the old layout (West Brom) was by far the best atmosphere I have seen generated at SMS. The bubble completely ruins the game, just more overkill from the state. Fortunately we aren’t going up and costing of policing such overkill won’t be allowed in the seasons to come. Utter shite, no different to playing Blackburn or Preston. Ive read through all 33 pages on here, best point I’ve seen made was the link to Russel Martin. Yes, he is utter shite but he had a style and had his side implementing it on day 1 at Sheffield Wed. Still is utter wank, 7 games in and no clear tactic at all, monotone as fuck and looking out of his depth. Put it this way, I’d swap him for the man the other side of the M27, but he wouldn’t come. That’s where we are now.

My first memory of this lot is as a 4 year old boy, innocently wearing saints shorts, and having a grown Pompey fan shout abuse at me. My first Saints Pompey game they abused the minutes silence for Mr Southampton before a ball was kicked. My first trip to Fratton in 2011 saw a coin whistle past my temple when they equalised late on. This lot are the pits. We have to win, and win well.

I still think the squad is too big and difficult to manage for Still based on numbers. I would certainly like to see Edozie and Aribo leave in the coming days. It is also a shame we have so many loans out, it would be great to have shifted them completely. What I do like is the fact we have not used the loan market that much for players in. We were handicapped a lot last summer by being forced to make THB perm and then anofher big outlay on Downes just to get back to where we were when we beat Leeds.,

Bazunu roeserlev. Jack. Thb Manning Downes. Charles dibling Fernandes Robinson Stewart That is our best team for me by a clear distance and what I would play. Keep that as a starting 11 and it’s HMS piss the league.

Don’t forget the not playing basketball in his own penalty box. That’s another tick in favour of replacing Sugawara.

Best thing about this is Sugawara won’t be used anymore. One of the worse I’ve seen in years. 94 games for Brentford in the Prem, looks a good option to me.

Positives and negatives for Still here. He’s realised Downs and Sugawara are useless, but he’s persisting with Arma as a lone striker and not playing Manning. Assume Stewart is injured again as opposed to an illness?

You must be on the wind up? It was a pathetic miss. In fact, he was so inept he didn’t even miss it. Between you defending Downes there and someone else questioning why fans don’t rate Sugawara I think some Saints fans have had too much sun.

Well more entertainment in 1 game than the entirety of last season, a great end result and nice to see some decent celebrations at St Mary’s coming from us for a change. I’d happily win the league and refuse the prize of Premier league football. I am not a fan of 3 at the back, especially at home to inferior opposition, also my understanding of this system is the fullbacks provide width and overlap etc. With the exception of Manning they didn’t, Sugawara is a complete joke, and always has been. Massive moment from Baz at 0-1 and nice to see some redemption for Stephens, credit to Still who wasn’t afraid to make changes and showed adaptability.

No chance of getting one as a Pompey fan unless you’ve had purchase history.

I’ve had a season ticket for years but due to work need to look more at the membership option this year. If I was to go down the route of a member should that pretty much guarantee a ticket for the home games I am available for?

So the worse season we’ve ever endured is finally coming to an end. For those of you still attending, please, please please don’t embarrass us further by applauding the cretins on a lap of honour. The stadium needs to be empty for it, and better still the players should be getting some serious abuse. As should Sport Republic. On that subject, when is the next fan forum?
