I think this has been part of Nigels tactics. He's decided how many games would be acceptable to lose, maybe in conjunction with Nicola and then thought "we could either lose 8 games throughout the season OR lose them all at the start, get the crowd behind us and go the rest of the season without losing". I think it's a great plan and I expect us to go into next game with the crowd singing Nigels name and supporting the team and a comfortable victory for Saints which will lead to the rest of the season being unbeaten.
