We have played poorly in pre season and played poorly in the League should I be happy and look forward to the future experience tells me no. Since 2008 results have been appalling so why should I feel optimistic

Yes and no commanding CB and little width

The reality is we have a poor team and possibly a poor manager but that has still to be proven. But things may change however results apart from Hearts Pre Season were poor and that has continued in the League. A couple of wins will change the situation but I just feel we should be doing better

You obviously have little idea of what you are talking about as long as you can blame Lowe everything is rosy Pardew was sacked from Charlton after failing to stop their decline and losing loads of games so far he has continued that trend with us Charlton now top of the League

It is his team he is the manager but does not appear at the moment to be up to the job. But of course that may change but only time will tell

It has not been good being a Saints Fan since 2004. I wonder how many league games we have won in that time?

Surely a realistic expectation is for the team not to be as poor as it is now. Making an excuse that the Pre-season has been lost is not valid poor tactics is probably valid

I totally agree and it is going to take a long time to get out of the relegation positions if we ever do.

I dont think many are suggesting Pardew out just commenting on his team selections and tactics although his track record at Charlton was not very good Other clubs seem to change their manager to good affect with respect to results but not us which is very disappointing

Dont know the details but there is usually a simple explanation

I think there is more chance of us getting relegated than promoted at the moment but a few home wins will change everything

Surely any company that works with companies in administration is going to make lots of money in a recession

I always think things are going to get better but they never do We have never been so low in the League table ever I would have thought even without the 10 point penalty we would be in or near the relegation places.

Apart from your Lowe and Pinnacle Phobias I agree with what you are saying. The team balance as well as the personnel is not correct

With what we have seen so far there seems little chance of us winning loads of matches I always accepted that we would not be promoted this season but I did not think there was the possibility that we would not be relegated. We are still 10 points behind other teams in the League how long is it going to take to get out of the relegation zone

I dont understand why no substitutes were used to try change the game. Last Saturday substitutes were used after we had scored I know they were warming up but surely the match had changed so the tactics should have changed as well

I think it is very easy to blame Lowe for everything but other clubs have bought in managers who have managed to turn their clubs around that said I still think the team has few players of high ability. Perhaps Wotte did not do a bad job last season after all.

Yes I had worked that out:(

Yes he is optimistic He convinced me last week that most teams in the League were rubbish so I was looking forward to Saturday only to for him to be proved right. We were rubbish . By the way how much did Dean cost

Yes I thought he may have been replaced by Wotton

Three old pros out three youngsters in then

Calm down Dell Days is one of the most optimistic posters on here he is probably joking

I agree with your sentiments I was just suggesting that we have lost six or so from the squad and need to replace them thats all

Mr Pardew maybe feeling the pressure did he not have a 12 game non winning run with Charlton before he joined he certainly will if we do not have a win shortly
