Must be good 0-0 half time against the reserves of the worst team in the conference.

I doesn't matter what the fans do. You can cheer until the cows come home but until the idiots who pick the team, put out a balanced team playing with width we will only pick up the odd point or three. Which won't be enough. If the prat in charge doesn't change his so called self styled sophisticated approach and apply simple common sense it won't matter. We might as well grow potatoes on the wings.

Maybe if you sang- 4-4-2 you twotte- he might get the message.

FFS they didn't play 4-4-2. They played a narrow diamond in midfield. 4-1-2-1-2, that's why nobody picked up the winger who was able to stick a ball from wide behind our two centre backs for the goal and why we can't get to the byeline. Schneiderlin's and Euell's shots that hit the post were because the goal was packed with defenders and anything hit left would have probably been blocked, how many times has that happened this year. Until they play a proper wide 4-4-2 we won't win a game unless we are just lucky.

Probably the best ever captain would be Alf Ramsey, first class footballer, England and Spurs regular, as a manager won the 2nd and 1st division championships in successive years, won the world cup as England manager in 1966, nobody else comes close as a leader.

Just take your ticket to the ticket office and ask for a refund as you are not going anymore.

the coaches have been crap all season, I don't know where we get our tic tacs from but no other team anywhere seems to employ them. Why don't we score, because we don't create clearcut chances, don't get to the byeline, can't shoot, launch crosses that wouldn't trouble an incompetent centre half, play players that have an inflated ego and no end product.

Old it might be but I get the point.

Probably less than that. Years ago the council wanted to build a municipal stadium behind the new docks. This fell through because the club demanded sole use, or they wouldn't support it. The idea was abandoned.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear we are in melt down. A Saints fan was found dead in the street, wearing a Saints shirt, The Police dressed him in stockings, suspenders and a mini skirt to save him from embarrassment. That just about says it all.

It's not so much a miracle worker with money, it's to get shot of the idiot that keeps thinking up revolutionary concepts that anyone but him can see are bound to fail, causing the fans to be alienated. But his and our worst problem is his personality, he is devisive and a lot of supporters just don't want him.

First things first, get rid of the clowns. The shareholdings are the problem and I don't see administration as part of the solution. I like your thinking.

I'd have to play golf if I did that.

Even with all the positive support we can't win. So what difference does it make. Maybe if there was plenty of ructions in the ground the players might be too timid to dare to play badly and pull their fingers out. I don't like it but just a thought.

I've just recognised the error of my ways. Wotte is absolutely brilliant. Play every body in the centre of the pitch, then belt the ball up to two midgets, bugger me why didn't I see it. Bloody hell Man Utd, Barcelona and Spain must surely adopt this super system if they are going to win anything.

Just like the newly launched car I'll probably buy, I can wait until the desperate deals arrive. I'll wait, and if everybody does the same the price will have to drop.

I knew Sam well. He is a golf partner of Ian White's at Stoneham. I haven't seen either of them for a while. It was John Harris who reminded me that you played for Swaythling. My son is mates with Barry Joslin's son. John is friendly with Ray Sheehan. I knew Roger Sherwood well, he was an big awkward bugger to play against. Kevin Kelly taught my sons.

Didn't you play for Swaythling after the Dell?

I see you are utilising the experienced players. Surman has to be on the left, BWP is a natural option on the right, they both have to be told to get to the byeline. I bet you scratched your head a bit over the back four. Schneiderlin needs the wide players absolutely wide to get the best out of his passing. I'm not sure about Euell with Saganowski, still what have we got to lose, I did think of him playing right back. The trouble is, there are still problems, would Skacel be better wide left with Surman Left back. I'm not sure how good Liptak is, he'd be a real gamble, it would be easier if I had seen him play. Apart from Saganowski, Saijs and Perry none of the outfield players has a bolted down position.

Two wide players on each side was fundamental for his system to work. It was impossible to get to the byeline and made the fullback as the only player on the right isolated and vulnerable, hence we scored few and leaked lots of goals.

And mostly 20yds inside the touchline which was the critical thing, has to be naturally footed players to get to the byeline effectively. Lallana was given a free role on the right, therefore never played there, all the players except Holmes came inside. At the moment Skacel/Surman LM wide the other at full back and BWP/McLaggon at Wide RM are the only options.

The problem really started when we lost Holmes at QPR. Up to then we had wide options, which meant the passing game worked. Once we stopped playing with width, the players would look for a wide option, not find one, and either have to run with the ball, or pass short inside to an already crowded midfield. Once the Dutch prat ignored his fundamental requirement of two wide players, that effectively finished the experiment. It also made us easy to predict and counterattack. Sadly we are still doing it, and unless they cop on quickly, it won't matter who we play or how we play, we will be relegated. It is fundamental to play the full width not two thirds of the pitch. Lallana is one of our big problems and needs to be left out, he has no idea how a football team works, and it seems neither do the coaches and most of the players.

There was an element of that, but the players themselves stopped the pass and move football, they stopped letting the ball do the work and started to run with the ball and nobody running without it. We became very static, narrow, no penetration and defensively naive. The rest is history.

The experiment failed in September, after some brilliant football early on. We then stopped the passing game and the players started playing like 18 year old British footballers. Not picking the available costly pros and mixing the team was the failure to realise the experiment had ended. Irrespective who was in the team we weren't playing pass and move anymore. Lowe is a bloody banker, and not a very bright one FFS. Look at the mess the world is in because of them and their inability to recognise they are wrong. SLH/SFC reflect that.

The road is open until 1650, only closed after the final whistle.
