Or he's uber positive when asked about any of his players.

Friendly pedant with calculator at the ready.... 10 shots on target so 5-0 not 10. You're welcome 😇

Had the same half time conversation, I expect many of us did. Football is a funny ol' game, the previous week we also performed really well and got the goals we deserved.

Great demonstration of not knowing what a strawman argument is. You claimed we were ineffective for 45 minutes of the game, I won’t add the SaintsWeb bingo nonsense you quoted. Match stats had us with 22 shots and 10 on target in your “effective 45 minutes” so simple maths in play here. Your argument has more holes than a packet of polos.

Given the stats from the game you expect 44 shots of which 20 to be on target - do you have any idea how unrealistic this is, even against teams like Rotherham. Stop digging, you’ve hit bullshit.

If one of the good chances had gone in I suspect all would be well, so I’m calling bullshit on this.

Yep it could be that, 17 from 33 too. 1 point outside the top 6.

Indeed. Why would anyone automatically choose us over Leeds?

Maybe I know more about football than you, maybe I don’t, I couldn’t give 2 shits. Maybe I like my Chai oat milk latte served at 85 degrees with a side shot of turmeric and ginger, maybe I don’t, it doesn’t fucking matter. I’m happy to be in for the long haul, if it works it could be glorious, if it doesn’t - in the grand scheme of things- it really doesn’t fucking matter. This season has been far from perfect so far but so has the last 40 odd years of supporting Saints. My opinion from what I’ve seen to date of RM is that he’s worth sticking with, personally think he’ll at least get this season and more than likely longer It’s not worth blowing a gasket over. Chill.

It’s like the last 9 days never happened. I’ve been realistic in my views. I get that we all have our own opinions and maybe my expectations are not as demanding as some but I have genuinely enjoyed a lot of the football we’ve played and been pissed off with some that has been dished up too. Patience is key here.

Whatever darling 7 points from 9 must be boiling your piss.

Oh yah, absorooney, no place for middle ground here, extreme views only.

The “hyping our manager as if he’s some miracle worker” is clearly from your curious little mind.

Yah, it's not as though you've framed your argument to suit your desire to bash the team. Results are on an upward trend, like it or not. 1 point off the play offs at the October international break. SaintsWeb Bingo; waiting on "Automatic spots is the aim" - despite many on here knowing that would be us over achieving - yes that was a statement made by a club official, I forget who, but when asked that question what is the "right" answer? Of course the aim is high FFS, using it as a way of bashing the club is pathetic.

Quantity over quality would suggest less chance of a successful outcome, overall probably not much in it.

Seemingly the thickest of fans are unable to see progression. Thank you for your honesty.

What the fuck are you on? The Arse Citeh snoozefest had the square root of feck all compared to us. I trust you're watching Coronation St tonight to draw some shit conclusions on why RM is a poor manager and his brand is not what the Rovers Return needs, RM would be serving a Vegetable Balti pie when what's needed to succeed in the the Rovers Return is Betty's Hot Pot.

You're not making sense... "have to be winning 3 on the bounce when 2 of them are at home", unless you meant to say we should be winning every game? Surely even the thickest of fans can see progress is being made following a frankly shit September (bar the last day) - can't they Alex?

Says it all. I get why there is a toxic atmosphere at times, but yesterday's game in isolation wasn't worthy of the reaction. Disappointed not to win by 3 or 4, yes, disappointed with the performance?? Definitely not. 7 points from Leeds, Stoke and Rotherham is acceptable; 1 point at home to Rotherham isn't but the performance deserved better. The 4 games prior to Leeds were not hitting the levels we should be. Feels like we are progressing to me. Time to take a breath and go again in 2 weeks.

Bet they didn't get booed off at half time

Holy crap, one day a thread might start without it ending up being about RM. Rohl seemed to do a very good job for us, Ralph definitely looked lost without him. Wednesday shot themselves by allowing Moore to leave. Good luck Danny, you're going to need it.

Battling?? 3/10

We had enough good opportunities to bury Rotherham, even the most psychotic anti-Russell Southampton "fan" would recognise that and realise that not everything is the manager's fault (or maybe they wouldn't). The game could've easily finished 3-1 to us, it didn't, booing the team was frankly pantomine and ridiculous... oh yes it was.

1 point off the play offs. I had to check but it’s true.

Excellent news.
