SFC Forever

If Mark said that then Bednarek must have shown him something.

I don't particularly wish to drop that far to find out thank you.

The way we stopped our youngsters coming through is not how we were supposed to operate. It beggars belief that maybe all of the youngsters were not regarded as up to it. If that was the case why have they not hunted and brought more in? Like many I see our club now in much the same light as I did when Lowe was in charge.

Whereas last time we nose dived it was down to us nearly going under before Markus rescued us. This time we only have the management to hold to count. I know we had management issues last time as well but there wasn't any money available. This time we had the opportunity to buy players in to rescue us and didn't.

Such is the feeling of fans in most danger of the drop

He is not a brave player as we have seen on numerous occasions when he has ducked out of a challenge. We need players that will compete no matter what League we end up in.

Scrote

-- Our previous coaches?

Reed has removed several members of staff like Dodd who were doing a good job. He is an insignificant little scrote that has been fooling so many as to his knowledge and talents. To hear that we do not contact our loanies as well as all of the other problems he has caused is unforgivable.

Even if we were to lose our status against them it would be the results throughout the season did the nasty not just them.

Obviously he didn't know how to use it.

And if worst does happen playing like we did today will get us a lot of points in the Championship.

The team tried. They fought hard and very nearly got something from the game. The fact that they didn't was because they are not good enough when pitched against one of the top Premier League sides. Yes we have weaknesses but today WE HAD A TEAM THAT PLAYED FOR EACH OTHER. For that I am grateful. Stephens joined us as a rb not a cb. McQueen began life as a striker and I believe could be a left midfield but has not let us down as lb when used. Stephens might be better as rb. All thoughts running around as I look for answers to our weaknesses though Stephens 3 day ban sorts out one line of thought.

Damn

Nerves are jangling.

Bloody hell that was one for the books.

Look at the chances Sterling blew yesterday.

Only problem there is who do we play that can get physical?

Yoshida to play and be captain for me.

Right now I don't give a damn about the Southampton Way or any other way.Pity we don't have some in mould of Docker, Steele, etc. Maybe a modern version of them, and some defenders that know how to defend. Crikey I can see McGrath turning in his grave at the sh*te we are playing in our team.

Sad thing is that a couple of those players might well have stopped their slide down to League 1. The money mad world is destroying the game.

Whatever happens please let us do most of our buying well before the pre-season begins.

Baffles me how he got a job at all

If we can get more than £10m for Austin we will be doing well. We don't have any really valuable players left to sell. Whoever we sell we will be looking lower leagues for replacement or old ready for retirement has beens shades of last time we were in this mess.

Given the state of our team we are taking for granted that those mentioned will be interested in a side dropping quickly into the Championship and dread the thought lower.
