Saint86

He has a place. Its as a wide man on central midfield playmaker. His crossing and dead ball delivery is superb, and he is actually a player that gets his head up to make a pass. He isn't a shining light at anything else, but at those two elements he is very very good. But in previous years we had progressive managers that focused on player movement and a target man up front. Since then we've been static (and no surprise the goals have dried up). Verses Newcastle we looked so much sharper with him and gabbi both playing... yet these are two players that will hardly get a look in under our current playstyle. I would be starting JWP and have Gabbi and Ings up front. Every game. And change our style to be more attacking with more players in the final 3rd... Fits the style of all 3 players. It really is laughable how bad we are at the moment, we are playing so far within ourselves it hurts.

Makes a mockery of the club. Reed out.

Very clearly states that you are picking them at their peak playing for saints.

1.) Our defence is poor, so clearly one of Toby or VVD for me. I think I would actually pick Toby as he martialed the defence superbly and has more about his all round game than athleticism. He also never lost interest with saints. 2.) Our midfield and attack are not generating enough goals. Queue the greatest player to ever feature in the red and white - Le Tissier 3.) Mane - Utterly unplayable on his day, and for me one of the best wingers in world football. 4.) No. 4 is a tough one with so many to chose from. But the best of the rest is between Channon, Lambert, and Keegan. - Given our current strikeforce issues, I think I would pick Channon.

What we need is passing creativity in the midfield, someone who can place a cross, pass or set piece into the right area. Then what we need is a striker who can get on the end of it. Unfortunately Hughes doesn't rate or recognise Gabbi and JWP, and despite them coming on an instantly making us more threatening vs Newcastle, it will be another month before we see them on the pitch together again

Reporting as they have all died now. Terrible.

Was a total bar-steward to Le Tissier but I wish him a speedy recovery. The chap making bad taste karma jokes.... Sick.

89Min - JWP hits a cracking diagonal cross field ball in behind the defence. Gabbi does spins on the ball and beats the man, feeds the wide man. Wide man wips in a cross with long given all the time to shoot from the D - hits it wide. Southampton's best move on the match. And you just know JWP and Gabbi will have to wait another 6games to be on the pitch together at the same time again...

You're annoyed if we're relegated because you don't get to Tottenham's home ground?

All streams have stopped?

Hard to argue with this 77. I see no prospect of things changing under this management, instead it will just be more of the same until we go down. If by some fluke we have a good season it just means our assets can be sold off for more. It really is depressing. I am glad that the fan base is realising now on mass exactly how we are run and where the blame lies. I expect us to have a fall from grace at least as bad as last time, yet strangely I don't fear it as we've been down that road before and i actually want us to get to rock bottom as quickly as possible so we can clear out the serpents at the top and move forward again, hopefully with a young team of academy players, attacking football, and an owner that cares. I have no interest currently in paying anymore money into the board or the owner's pockets, and I know more and more fans who feel the same.

As fans, need to start protesting against the board and the ownership. It is key to not turn on the players however. Unfortunately we should also enjoy the times that we have now... there are some dark days ahead.

The UK is unavoidably in for some painful years now. The whole process has been dreadfully mismanaged and undermined by remain supporters who could never back it fully, let alone negotiate it. This all but ensures a bad compromise deal that nobody wanted, and has led to two years of a hamstrung economy, as well as multiple key domestic issues being ignored and an almost certain chance of JC government before summer 2019. Which by they way is the thing that everyone should be worried about.... A far left socialist party that will bankrupt the country, actively pursue policies that will damage the job market, and look to limit press freedoms, democracy and racial tolerance. Brexit is small fry against the backdrop of a JC/JM premiership.

Its easy to say that when we're ****e, and have a board that don't care about anything but their back pockets.... But I bet you didn't say that under Adkins, Poch or Koeman... In fact, I bet you didn't say that under Cortese before these current charlatans came in... The problem at this club is the board. I would take relegation and administration if it was the only way to get rid of them and start again... I despise what they have done to a club that was pushing to be an established European qualification contender.

It was obvious the summer Cortese went. But many fans didn't, or didn't want to see it.

Redmond and Danny did okay as well... Certainly tried.

Next home game is on the 27th and follows the Bompey humiliation to come. Surely time to organise a fan protest at the board - And it needs to be at the board only. Anything else will create a toxic atmosphere and damage the team. And ffs, stop paying these charlatans money.

Our board will wait until there are less than 10games left.

My priorities in this order: 1. Replace Les Reed 2. Replace RK 3. Replace Gao (unless he actually shows us a reason for why he is here...) 4. Get a good manager who plays solid but attacking football with a good tempo that involves the academy.

Its not Hughes fault ffs. The board must love **** like this, they do a crap job and the fans blame the manager every single time. Nothing will change with this board. The fans need to wake up!

Pointless calling for his head. The clowns in charge will just continue to **** it up.

New poll? The fans have been incredibly tolerant so far... but at some point everyone needs to acknowledge that continued neutrality/support is only extending the stay of Les Reed and this board. There are some dark days ahead to clear them out and correct the damage, but it looks like it needs to happen sadly.

Yup. Just remember that when you give money to the club you are extending the stay of Les and this Board. That may be okay for some, but at some point the fans need to turn.

Not sure he should win anyway. People moaning about fans voting for their bigger clubs, but that is all some will be doing for Hoj. For me, his was a cracker when he hit it. But I saw that sturridge goal live and he had zero right to even hit it, and for a split second it doesn't even look like a shot... I can't stand Sturridge, but that was a great goal.
