So only two of our new players in the starting team says a lot about our recruitment

Why do you think Rohl was a candidate in 2025 when he was not given the job in 2023 I

I do not want to see Saints in the PL apart from a few years about ten years ago we have been absolutely dreadful

I agree but nobody like that is currently going to come to St Mary's at the moment you have to be realistic we are not a club on the up

There dozen does not include caretaker managers I think your eight includes a couple

All successful managersv need successful strikers Man City are doing better now that Haaland Even Russell did OK when Adams and Armstrong were regularly scoring Still has little chance of success with our current strikers

I think they have had over a dozen managers since 2020

The club wants to make money on transfer deals I am not really sure it is driven by results on the pitch

I have been watching and following the Saints fpr over sixty five years and have seen four promotions to the top Division and I just think it is unlikely that we will get promoted this season and if we did we would be awful in the PL I always hope that we will do well and at the moment hope we can finish a high as possible in the League this season and we will probably finished a great deal higher than we are now SR seem to want to buy young and inexperienced players who hopefully can be sold at a profit and the squad has hardly played together and has not gelled in anway I know they have bought a couple of relatively expensive Championship players but as yet they have not proved to have enhanced the team hopefully they will but we do not have a fully fit set of strikers to score the goals. We have a young manager with no experience of English Football in a very competive league. There do not seem to be any stand out players so he has been chopping and changing until recently. In the last week or so results have been better we drew with the league leaders beat Sheff Utd away and drew with an average Derby County I feel that SR have got us into a bad situation with their strategy recruitment of players and coaches which will have to live with especially as we have so little fire power with our strikers We could get another head coach and get a few better results but I just cannot see how SR are going to lead us to the PL where the standard is so much better than when we were relatively competetive there with teams like Bournemouth and Crystal Palace being really good,

Can anybody really believe that Will Still will ever lead a competive Saints team in the PL

Well it was at least we had a few decent players but apart from Macca there are not any We have a few adequate players but no where near enough to get us promoted but apart from Coventry and Leicester there are not many teams who I can say are possibly going to get promoted either Why Still was selected to be manager beggars belief

According to the BBC If there is to be a winner, it's not looking likely to be Saints, they haven't mustered a shot on target in the second half.

Half the points were won when Tilak was playing without him we would be relegated so he is my player of the season

I agree with your sentiments but he probably has contract to play four day cricket with us

He is definetely in my Hampshire Team of best players I have seen replacing Derek Shackleton
