Yes DEll Days I agree with you. It is going to be a struggle this season why dont people accept it and get behind the team. We are only playing youngsters because we have to not because we want to. Its a shame we let Mills Cranie Best and Blackstock go otherwise we would be in a better position now but we can not put the clock back

I dont know what your expectations are but mine are not high. A 4 - 1 defeat away from home is not a disaster with ten men. Just be patient if we go down we go down so what it is not the end of the world

He maybe thinking why was Dexter Blackstock not playing for us. We bought BWP and sold Dexter someting wrong there.

Considering our bad luck we are not doing too badly. I was not expecting us to win

Its like a nightmare. There we were in the Premiership for over twenty five years doing Ok. FA Cup Final top six position Then whoosh we are in the Championship being run by a bunch of incompetants and nearly in Administration. Then we have a new regime which tries to address our financial situation only to fiond out our captain is injured. Then today A Player our incompents thought was no good scores within a minute. One of our new players is probably injured and out for the season Then somebody who our incompetants never let near the first team is sent off probably through lack of experience. When will it end

Another dreadful game in the saga of SFC when will it end.

The only reason we are in a poor way financially is because of the way the club was run after Lowe went. With ridiculous wages being paid. Once Lowe has sorted that out we should be able to continue as before. There must be lots of clubs running in a similar manner to us

Of course we can continue the way that we have always done. I dont want tSFC to be owned by a Russian or some dodgy Business Man it is bad enough having Rupert in charge. Look at the fans at both Newcastle anf Liverpool they dont appear to be happy

Svensson is probably not doing it to help SFC he is doing it to help himself. He is just another professional footballer (a pretty good one at that when in his prime) I also dont think it is a good idea playing Svennson on the occasional basis he is either in the team or not he should prove himself in the Reserves before he plays another first team game

I doubt if that will happen those clubs you mentioned have a very small fan base. Luton are in their situation because of financial irregularity.

Lowe Wilde etc may have done well in getting an environment for youngsters to flourish but the team lacks the ability to score goals. This was apparent in the preseason friendlies as well as competive matches this season. We are going to struggle until the team start winning , we may have a good run but the other teams in the division are probably physically stonger. I am not sure the tactics we are employing is leading to this lack of goals as playing just one up at home is rather negative and puts a lot of pressure on the lone striker

Well I would not. I did not start supporting Southampton because I wanted success I just went a long to the Dell to watch the football and enjoy the buzz when we did well. I am quite like that today although I dont see many games I do enjoy the it when we win and the lead up to the game today which we will probably lose.

Obviously you have a strong point but Cork does not look a commanding centre half to me.

No it does not that is short termism we need to build for the future.

Alpine I fully agree with your comments. I dont really want some multi millionaire to buy my football club. I want us to continue the way we have done for the past forty years where I have seen excellent football some world class footballers and have lots of exciting memories. But nowadays lots of fans just want instant success which may come with loads of money.

Yes but he is a Chelsea player I think we should be giving our players all the exposure we can and use Cork when and if our players are found to be out of their depth injured or tired.

Yes I agree but if Lancashire plays Ok he should be left in the team.

Why not James? There does seem to be a fixation to give Cork a game. I think we should be giving our youngsters a chance to develop

Burley was ultimately a failure at both Southampton and Ipswich because of his ability to spend loads of dosh on underachieving players.

Why should Cork start in front of Lancashire? Cork is only a Loanee

Relegation has had a traumatic affect on the club and possibly lots of fans have not moved on yet and fully accept we are below average Championship side and will remain in that state for sometime hopefully

I totally agree but in our relegation season we surely should have beaten Middlesboro Everton Aston Villa with a more astute manager

I know this is not the correct thread to discuss this topic but I thought the problem was there were no suitable candidates who were out of work but it was sometime ago. I did not want Hoddle back but it was probably the right shout at the time.

47% think he was although I dont Micky Channon was the best although he did miss a penalty on Boxing Day 1973 which started our decline that season

Well I whats your point then. Mine is I would have thought that Hoddle would have done a better job than Sturrock Wigley and Redknapp
