Very true managers do not stay very long with us these days I wonder how long he will last

With good England International players Lallana Labert Jrod Clyne

Our players are pretty poor in comparison to others I have seen over the past fifty years and most of the other teams seem to in general better players with other teams having some outstanding ones so to me it pretty obvious we were on a hiding to nothing before the season started. If you disagree with me tell me who currently is a really class player even Nathan Redmond would shine in todays team

All matches are winnable if we had some decent players but we dont have many so I dont expect many points from these games

I agree but batting is still inconsistent and new bowler Baker conceeded 30 in two overs

Amazingly we won in super over

That is a possibilty of course but why would they be better with another style

Hardly Martin's fault if players are unable to pass accurately or make a telling pass with better players we would be doing a great deal better so the current ones need to improve for us to survive

But not many better ones this season

It is obvious we do not have the players to stay in the PL

They also have the best home produced players of any county club which is hardly surprising as they have so many top class club sides

Me too but only once as he was sold to Bournemouth and replaced with George Kirby such a gentleman off the pitch but quite the opposite on it I remember one time against Swansea George injured three players in quick succession and there was no one available to attend the third

Like the country SFC is fucked with the players we have there seems little chance of the club surviving long term in the PL due to awful transfer policy of the last few years. Not sure about the Academy either but with clubs like Chelsea hovering up talent here in Berkshire and in North Hampshire now what does it have of attracting top class talent

Yes I have been quite lucky to see some really good players Paul Rideout Colin Clarke Eigil Ostenstaad were other strikers who I feel were much better than any we have today

You must be joking you have no idea we have Archer and BBD as strikers I can assure your we have never had such poor ones in the last sixty years. Unlike you I have been very lucky to see good Saints Strikers like Ron Davies Martin Chivers Micky Channon Peter Osgood Phil Boyer Ted McDougal Steve Moran Keegan Alan Shearer Worthington Danny Wallace MLT Beattie Pharas and probably Lambert Mane Pelle I wont bore you with a list of creative players but I saw two world cup winning players Paine and Ball in Saints teams too

Do you not undertand the players are crap especially the forwards who have not scored one goal in six games and have not even played Liverpool Arsenal Man City or Chelsea. It is not fight we need but players with skill who can compete in the PL. Our recruitment has been poor for years and our squad is the worst we have had in the top flight since we were promoted to Div 1 in 1966 and I have seen them all.

I may have lost my WFA under Starmer's Govt but I have received an email which should help me I am Hendrick Bowen, a Solicitor here in London, United Kingdom.

Pretty stupid comment really getting a result with so much bad weather in the Midlands recently was a great outcome

No that is not going to happen

Pretty poor PL team in all honesty but probably the best we have

Must be one of the worst Saints squads I have ever seen play in the PL or Div 1

Why does he have to leave if the players are not good enough the squad is probably worse than the one in 2023 I fully expect the club to be relegated as we have no outstanding players

Why the obsession with getting rid of the manager it is clear the squad is not good enough for the PL just look at the other teams in the league they have better players. Need a few years in the Championship to regroup me thinks

I agree with what you are saying but Stephens, Smallbone, Armstrong and Aribo are OK as squad players at the moment the problem has been recruitment for the last four or five years

I have been watching Saints since 1962 and I can assure you it it is not a decent PL line up the front six are so inexperienced it is unsurprising that they have have scored zero goals
