I have been supporting SFC for over 50 years and the team has never been in the position it has today. The club have not solved that in anyway as it stands today

I dont understand why we appear to be arguing because I am in agreement in what you are saying. The scouting system was stopped last season to save money in the short term. I was at St Mary's on Tuesday and we played quite well although we lacked width having grown up with Paine and Sydenham so I was suprised when we did not beat Stockport . Like you I am getting a bit nervous about Pardew and if we dont string a few results soon problems may arise

It is not for me to come up with a solution it is for the people to run the club to do that but despite Pardew's hype the club is hardly progressing Of course it may do so in time but after two seasons of rubbish I was hoping for better and a least a league win .

I think too much is being made of our preseason being screwed up. Although I would have thought ML would have had a manager lined up before taking over

OK if you are happy with three points in five games that is alright by me despite Pardew suggesting that we would take ten points from the first five games. But being in the relegation zone on merit with the squad we have surely is not good enough that is my point and it is often difficult to move on from a bad start. I am not taking umbridge I thought it was you taking umbridge

Yes but unfortunately it is results which count. If we had won five or six games more last season Markus may not have been here

Yes of course you are right but I thought that last season as well

This is a public forum where people are allowed to put across a point of view. Mine is that Pardew and the team is not performing well at the moment and he may not be the right person for the job in hand only time will tell his record at Charlton was not that good but at Reading it was. It should be possible to discuss the manager without the need to suggest that he should be sacked. With the squad we have we should not be in the relegation zone on merit

This is the most depressing post I have read this weekend. This poster is not usually that wrong in his observations

You would have thought so but when?

Yes I agree with what you are saying but even with our current squad things should be better

I dont think we will get slaughtered Pardew has a lot to prove at the Valley

So you are quite happy with results so far then I just want Pardew to do the job he is paid for and produce some results

I dont want to discuss Lowe and his Legacy the point I was trying to make is that in the past Lowe was blamed for poor results now posters will rightly or wrongly obviously be blaming the new regime and you should not be surprised by that. With no wins it is not surprising that all the posts are not positive even with no points deduction we would still be in the relegation zone

I agree but when did we last have any decent wide players Did not see many crosses coming in from the byline last Tuesday

Mid Table say 60 points need another 67 in 41 games 20 wins 7 draws 14 losses a possibility I would have thought Originally I was expecting us to get about 70 points in the whole season so be on about -2 now and clear the deficit by next week

What next season in League 2?

Perhaps so but I still think most of the dmage was done when he was not here but of course I maybe wrong. It is not a pro Lowe stance just not a true believer in all the Pardew hype and his anti referee stance which cannot be good for the future wherevery decision by the Ref is going to be argued with.

Seems a scenario I have heard before

The problem is that with the team we have our results should be better I would have thought So it must be down to something it used to be Lowe's fault so now it must be something to do with the new regime as they are running the club

I agree we have only started the season but usually teams which start with poor results continue like that which is a worry. I still think the team we have is better than the average League 1 side and we should be doing better. I fully expect to beat Colchester next week like I thought we would do better against Brentford Swindon and Stockport.

I think you maybe believing the Pardew hype which is up to you. Of course the club was not in a good shape because of the problems with money but Pardew might not be the manager you think he is Only time will tell if results improve dramatically you will of course be right . I just would like to win a couple of games thats all without excuses

Surely the current team is better than most in the Division so why are we not winning.

I just want the Saints to win some games and we are not. At the moment Pardew has failed to deliver and does not appear to be able to organise the team to score goals and defend leads similar to Redknapp Things may improve but I thought that last week and the week before etc. I am told things are going to improve but they dont

It seems a little like last season pretty football but no wins. Surely 3 points out of 15 no wins is not going to make fans be happy and positive. Every week I think we will win the next game but so far we have not and I feel with the squad we have we should be winning. We wanted a CB Striker and CM and everything would be OK WE have them and now we need more and everything will be OK well it maybe but there should be no excuses if we fail to win our next game
