We have let them back into this and instilled belief in their team by sitting back and getting to this stage without scoring again. First few mins we were all over them, so clearly capable. We've been told to sit back.

Yep we have no mental fortitude at all.

Save Bazunu. Rotherhams game plan has worked.

Lets hope we don't lose.. Could easily.

Saw it coming to be fair. We'll squander the points. No excuse.

Saints being Saints, they'll let Rotherham back into it.. At least we made some attacking changes.

It'll take a Rotherham goal for us to attack. We seem to have been told to just keep the ball and not try to score. A return of Russball

Total dominance. But nothing much to show for it so far..

The Armstrong of last season would never had tried the chip. Great to see him confident again and scoring goals.

Got to be looking to follow this up with a winning run. 3 in the next 4 and the season is back on track. The much critised Adam Armstrong on 7 goals for the season already. He has found his level.

I was there last time we went 3-0 up at half time to Leeds. We lost 4-3 if memory serves..

I fear sacking him will make no difference. The rot is still well and truly set in, and it's deeper than the manager. They'll just appoint another idiot.

I don't expect us to get relegated. But I do expect us to lose the next game heavily against Leeds (Piroe Hat Trick) which will make it 5 defeats. At some point that has to stop, or I'll have to change my expectations.

RM hasn't been unable to arrest the slide since the 5-0. He put out a better team today, with players in their positions. But even that hasn't been enough. Honestly most of the time the players look like they can't be arsed. How did we actually win 3 games?

Bring back Ralph! I reckon he could do it if he was willing.

The new players have come into a disjointed team who were already low on confidence. With the right manager, improvement is possible. But RM doesn't seem to be the motivational kind, who can inject energy and belief. To shake off the cobwebs of last year and get us looking forwards and upwards. He's utterly boring to listen to most of the time. None of the players have brought into his ideas; and why should they? He's a nobody manager with no record of success anywhere.

Basically, despite some improvements, today could easily have been 3 or 4-1 and yet another thrashing. And still could be. Need a manager who can inject some belief in the team not send them to sleep.

Yes like what we've seen from Leeds and Leicester.

Probably, yes. 3-1 or something.

He's made 1.5 appearances. Still too early to place him in the same category as AMN.

Whenever we score, I expect us to concede shortly afterward. Whenever the opposition score, I fully expect them to go on and get a second right away. Ah, to be a Saints fan...

We've done ok. But lost concentration for a moment and we're punished. The danger now is we mentally crumble second half. It doesn't take much.

Imagine if we had a manager who just played players in their correct position. We seem to go from one lunatic to the next.

True. What I was getting at was they are notorious for not taking the right action. They sacked Ralph and replaced him with 2 crap managers. If they sack RM eventually, they'll probably appoint someone managing a midtable League One side!

Players clearly demotivated. Some of the suffering Premier league hangover. The rest probably wondering why RM was appointed in the first place. Bored of listening to him drone on... Need to do something to inject some drive and enthusiasm and organisation into the team. Boro to get their first win next game.
