It is not very important if we win enough matches to stay up. No need to put pressure on Fans and players alike in 1969-70 we finished 19th with 29 points 6 wins 17 draws

Ealham gets a wicket Always does looks so simple to bat against him

Euell is injured Skacel has been injured Stern John has played but not very well So we are in the mire

Why?

Yes I agree a struggle ahead

Well it is going to be a long hard season for some posters as the team continues to struggle. I must admit I have accepted where we are and now hope for the best it is no good getting upset . Saints Fans expectations are probably too high and have been so for sometime

What better players?

Yes some will be sold but I cannot see many will be going as none of them appear to be outstanding if they were we would not be in the position we are now.

Well I should calm down and let other more reasonable people post their comments without belittling their contributions. Perhaps other people are sick to death of seeing numerous threads from attention-seeking negative and unrealistic so called fans

That is the whole point of a forum putting accross other ideas. Posting Comments like that proves that you are not objective and everything has to be Anti Lowe.

I dont understand why most of the fans are up in arms about the current situation. It is quite obvious with a team of youngsters the Club is going to struggle for points in the Championship and maybe indeed be relegated. There was very little chance in the side being successful this season and probably next season too. The reason we are in this position is purely financial so why cant the fans get behind the team and support them in the quest to finish at least 21st in the Championship with out demanding the board and the coaching staff to leave. We are supposed to be supporters it cannot be ideal being a player reading this forum

It is strange a month ago Fans were worried that McGoldrick would be sold in the transfer window.

Surely the situation we find ourselves in was predictable before the season started we were going to struggle and maybe get relegated so I am not surprised where we are now. But most fans did not accept this fact - I could not believe the results of the pre season poll on where we would finish in the league Although dire our situation does not mean automatic relegation or administration is a foregone conclusion. We were unable to afford experienced players or coaching staff. We will just have to wait and see what happens the only way results are going to improve long term is if the financial situation improves either by investment or further sales and cutbacks.

According to the BBC we have not had a shot in the first forty mins

We could be in League 1 for Years

Well that could keep us out of Administration

Doing Ok in the Premiership whilst we slip into League 1

There are some really bitter people on here who have little idea of the problems running a second rate Football Club like Southampton . Just get used to the idea we are going to struggle for sometime

Well I have accepted that it is going to be a struggle to stay up but I am looking forward to the rest of the season. However our do not feel that our luck is in with injuries and penalty decisions going against us but fully expect that to change soon.

No not working for me either

So with 4000 less season ticket holders Barnsley being the visitors and us doing badly it is really not surprising the gates have dropped significantly.

How many season tickets wer sold last season and how many this season?

The defence will have done well but the attack would have done badly. According to the BBC we have had only two shots in the first half

Nottingham Forest If you had said if Barnsley win today as Nottingham Forest get a better result than Saints will Saints be bottom . The answer to that is Yes

It is not a simple question as it depends on other factors
