But you are biased as you dont like Lowe and some of your assumptions may not be correct. Lowe has not failed yet as we are not in administration and have not been relegated in fact we are virtually where we were before he took over and our finances are probably in a better shape

I think this one of the most realistic posts I have read today. However I think we should complement our youngsters with a couple of more experinced players by selling Dyer Lallana or Surman

Only Davis has played well this seaso followed by Surman Lallana seems to flatter to deceive as he is not making or scoring goals

We have played enough games including Pre-season to show you are a little deluded. Pretty football is not leading to goals and that is what football is all about

Yes but getting in Pulis Smith Pekhart etc has not been successful We need another strategy surely ie Physically Stronger Defensive Players An a better formation at home one up is not going to win us much at home

If he changed to 4 4 2 that would affect the Academy and Reserve Teams too as the formation is for use in all teams.

Perhaps we should be drinking in the Osbourne. The daughter's boyfriend is a Reading Season ticket holder and is giving me a lot of verbals. I am not looking forward to the game in two weeks time

No I think he is a very skillful player but he is not contributing to our team's results and he cant shoot. He may look good but it is results which count. I think if he could be sold for lots of money and we invested in a couple of strong fullbacks the team would perform better. It would perform better if we had physically stronger defenders but we cannot get them as we have no money. Yes I agree the formation is no good it is much too defensive

I think 4 2 3 1 is of no use here. If it was why are other clubs not playing it. It is only good if you have top class wingers like Paine and Sydenham

Lallana maybe skillful but he is not helping us to points and therefore I suggest he is sold and we get in some decent defenders.

Yes you are right with your comments but we need some decent defenders a RB and CB and then we could be OK. But the opposition have defenders to spare as we only have one striker up that and fact we have no decent wingers prevents us shooting in the box

It is all very good getting in promising youngsters But we need some decent defenders I have supported the new direction but it plainly is not working. So we need to sell Surman and Lallana and get in some defenders and play 4 4 2. There is no reason to keep Lallana as he is not scoring any goals

I know over the last five years I keep thinking things are going to get better but they dont. I think we must be odds on for relegation as we have hardly played any of the top teams

Nothing to do with the players then?

Was it a fluke last week?

OK These young boys are not strong enough against most Championship strikers

And replace him with whom?

I would agree but have changed a word Just hope we can pressure their keeper a lot more in the 2nd half

Yes you are right pretty awful but the BBC did find a shot on target. Seems a bit strange as I thought Davis made a few saves SOUTHAMPTONBRISTOL CITY Possession 54% 46% Shots on target 1 2 Shots off target 2 2 Corners 5 2 Fouls 7 4

Thank you for your efforts. I wish the team was as efficient as you Perhaps the secondhalf will be better.

And bad weather

Because we keep changing the team I am getting bored I dont feel very confident
