Graffito

Appears he may have been taking more of his company's money than he should have, money which ultimately may cost creditors should the company go under.

Not so bad when it's not your money.

We're always better under floodlights, the dimmer the better.

Seems he's not even capable of getting onto the treatment table let alone the bench.

I seem to remember Channon being called Daisy but I defer to your greater knowledge of all things Saints. Anyway I think you're missing the point. I remember a young Alan Shearer being given stick by some Saints fans away at Highfield Rd one time and he giving it right. But we're talking here about two exceptional characters. Not all players react to criticism in the way that Channon and Shearer did. For a team low on confidence, abuse from the fans (and I'm not saying it happens much at SMS) is not the kind of support it needs. Nor has it anything to do with which cars the players drive. One final observation, it seems to me there are several posters on here that are pretty thin skinned when it comes to criticism but apparently it's ok to give stick to the team they support.

So we can all be better supporters then by giving the players huge amounts of abuse.

I know what you mean but only the manager is in a position to know, if he's any good, whether a bollo*king or an arm round the shoulder is what's required for each individual. I'm bound to say that I've heard little mass criticism of players at SMS this season but if it does happen I can't see how it will achieve what we all want which is wins.

The criticism has to be constructive and it won't be constructive coming from the stands. Apply your approach to your own place of work and consider whether it would produce better or worse results.

We always lose there but nine of us going anyway, just for the hell of it.

That's the kind of thing an 8 year old would say.

"History repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce".

James deserves a chance in his proper position, he has put in some fantastic balls this season and we could really benefit from these if he was to play in a more advanced position. It's worth a try. He is a good crosser. A great ball in for Saganowski's goal against Norwich. I'd like to see him get further forward before crossing. If we're going to play narrower in midfield, that's a possibility from fullback.

Unbelievable. If he turns out to be inadequate blame those that brought him not the lad himself.

I am giving him a break. I don't expect him to understand the politics. Results on the pitch are all that count.

He can talk as much drivel as he likes if he keeps us up.

It matters very much who signs the players. A manager that doesn't sign players has responsibility without control. If Lowe's doing it, well....we've no chance.

He's been nowhere for long. Looks like we've got a right one here.

Yes it matters. What's your point?

I'm sure scoring a goal for Southampton at SMS would be appreciated much more than scoring a goal for Swansea at FP. Why's he out on loan?

I would like to think so but it would be one desperate b*stard given the fix we're in.

When the heat's on Chairmen they tend to sack the manager. I think Lowe could sack JP without undermining his strategy. The strategy is not dependent on JP being Head Coach. A replacement Head Coach would not bring a radical change of direction because of the financial restraints. Lowe hasn't sacked JP probably because the club can't attract a decent replacement.

"Right now, as I sit here, Jan has my full support" Hardly a ringing endorsement. What support will he offer when he's standing up, or having a tom tit? The risk of not changing the manager is greater than the risk of changing the manager even if we might get another one of Lowe's dopey appointments.

Good critique. I agree with pretty much all of this.

Keep 'em coming.

He lacks pace.
