2-0 chelsea followed by doom and gloom and the Hughes out threads lighting up.... Business and usual..

Saints fans need to do a West ham and show some fight, down tools and get these clowns out the whole board needs to go. They are incompetent picketing the money robbing us fans blind.....

Fans need to vote with feet, stop buying merchandise down tools and make a stand. Saints fans are weak minded time to put foot down. Kruegar and Reed need to go. Break the bank get Mitchell back, Secondly get in a manager who can setup a defence properly.... Get the team organised instill a bit of fight and make the team hard to beat. Way I see it we do not have the greatest creative attacking options. So we need to Get men behind the ball compact the back and make it hard for opponents to break is down and play counter attacking methology. Right now our defence is a shambles no leadership, disorganized, it's like we are scared... Cannot deal with opponents applying pressure. The manager currently is making stupid decisions.... Why no Yoshida?. Why continue to play Austin? He is knackered after 20 minutes and offers nothing.... It's about time we give Sam G some games. Why are we holding on to so many average players that have been average for two seasons and hoping that they will suddenly flourish and become at a minimum consistent? Face reality least half of this team we have currently should of been sold. I would rather watch a team of young up and coming championship players with a combination of our own younger players than the spineless, passionless, rubbish we get served up on a weekly basis.. What happened to pride to wear the colours? What happened to the heart? Giving it your all? The mentality of this team is wrong full of egos and weak minded players. Some of these players need a reality check look in the mirror because they are not as good as they think they are or have been told. I am baffled at how some of our players can be considered premiership standard? Can we recall Boufal? Technically he is our best player I just wish he had the right attitude because a creative player like him with the right mentality is what we are crying out for. As for Hughes get rid he isn't the man to take us forwards we need somebody young and progressive with fire.

Disconnect I agree with everything you have said including player sales. Never rated Austin he is bang average, unfit offers nothing. Davis, Fraser, Long,Hoedt, are a few I would flog. As many have mentioned I would be going for highly rated, English championship talent and buying up the best of the best.

Mark Hughes has been given the push: You have been brought in by the puppets to make changes and finish minimum mid table at least, What would you change about Southampton FC? be realistic obviously. Formation Playing Style? Overall team mentality i.e attack the opposition play exciting football? Would you field and develop Youth players? Would you immediately sell players that you think do not cut the mustard. If so who would make the cut don't say the whole team haha What players would you sign immediately that could make a impact obviously keep things realistic no stupid Ronaldo signings. How would you scouting for future players would you change the existing model and setup? What other changes would you bring to the table compared to how things are currently being ran. Let's get a quality discussion going as I love to hear your viewpoints.

^ few spelling mistakes been on the grog. But you get the picture.

Don't date him, mind you we have a squad full of average players, With no spine, passion of guts the funny thing is people think we are capable of a top 8 finish... What planet are they on? An illusive Owner Two Clowns overseeing matters who rightfully should of been sacked but obviously have pulled wool other owners eyes. How they are both still here is criminal and is killing this club. A manager who is a dinosaur, makes stupid substitutes, Had a whole preseason and immediately drops a ineffective play style and formation, Clearly hasn't got a clue about the best way to set this team up, Then fields weak players and continues to field ineffective players... Long, Hoedt.. Scouting System that has gone backwards..... A Squad that is full of wet towels, no fight, no passion, no heart a bunch of bottlers.... Average players stealing a living in this league... So yeah that sums it up, it's not just Hughes the core of Southampton FC is rotten don't be surprised if we go down... I wouldn't be writings on the wall maybe it would be the same up call the owner needs....

Should of been sacked last season.... The guy is a joke taking this club backwards.....

Could be many factors, Poor manager instruction, poor coaching setup or the players we have currently are just average? How many managers have we had with this current spine of team? Maybe Managers are not getting the best out of these players because the players themselves are just not up to pushing forwards. Look at our team who inspires you? who has passion? guts? leaders? players with a bit of desire and fight? dress it up all you want lads we have a team full of pansies. Where are the Rickie Lamberts? week in week out giving it 100%....... I have been saying it for two seasons now this squad is rubbish. I have been laughed at, ridiculed for my views call me a negative nancy I prefer being realistic we have a club with no clear direction. An illusive Owner who hasn't come forwards and given us a vision. We have two donkeys who should of been fired. Our scouting setup is all wrong we are chancing going for players that have been missing in the past and have gambled on the fact they will come good... Of our recent signings who has been prolific? To many average players starting weekly again call me negative but I would of sold the likes of Austin, Ward Prowse, Davis, Long, Redmond I don't rate any of them they are either to lightweight, to inconsistent, or have no end product. Why are we wasting our time holding on to average players in a hope they will come good? get rid keep moving forwards! That's the problem with this current crop of players they are gutless. Soon as the opposition score they bury heads in sand and give up somebody needs to instill some fight and passion in these boys.

Been saying it for two seasons this squad is average... We have no players with grit, leadership, passion or balls. We continue to field average players such as Redmond, Long, Ward Prowse, Austin. When have they actually been consistent? produced goals or assists on a regular basis? dress it up oh say something stupid like oh Prowse is good at free kicks...... Yes but in an average season what are these players bringing to the table? Other teams have moved forwards we have stuck still, We needed to clear out the dross and inject some much needed pace and creativity in the setup. I Seriously wouldn't be shock if we go down this season, The writing has been on the wall for ages our squad is not up to par. Fans who think we are capable of finishing in the top half need a reality check because most of these players couldn't finish there dinner....

Absolute toilet! Wouldn't be surprised if we go down don't rate Hughes

8-0 they will smash us can't see our setup keeping out the attacking talent they have....

Who would I like us to be like? The team we used to be not afraid to play youth and give them a chance and playing exciting attacking football. When we finished 6th why didn't we push on? Tie Good key players down? Manager? Bring in 2 or 3 quality additions... How did it go so wrong? We froze got scared? Or just settled I would of gone right this is our chance to press on!

Because football is fixed, You have the top elite clubs for a reason.. To many big earners behind the scenes.. If you want to upset the balance you also require money and alot of it..... The whole Leicester thing was fixed I would put money on it... The underdog tipping the balance to make it seem like any team could potentially stand a chance.... Just think about it logically the sheer amount of money in football.... Are you telling me it isn't corrupt? Wakey wakey people....

3-0 palace reckon we are going to get tonked......

They get loaned out because they are toilet! not good enough for the first team...... Which is a bit mad considering half of our firs team are no up to par either...... Squad oveerall is average problem is other clubs have progressed we have stood still signing has beens and so called talent that flopped at previous clubs.....

Somebody has overdone it on the chocolate liqueurs, have a snickers and pipe down for duck sakes!..... acting like a right Diva

You really think he would of gone to saints? Behave...... Reality check boys we are relegation fodder currently.

Why are players regressing? coaching? manager? tactics?

It may cost £300 Million but the team is pretty damm average. We are playing in the Premier league what do you need to win games of football? goals and assists.... Charlie Austin, Long, Stephens, Ward Prowse, Hoijberg, Redmond, Fraser F, Ward Prowse, Hoedt, We have average players some who have been here more than one season and have produced nothing..... This team still needs major surgery fans expect a top 10 finish? need a reality check this squad is pants....

Him and Stephens should of both been sold.... Dress it up how you want both are not up to the standard we require at this level. It's players like this are holding back real team progression. Costly mistakes means less points.

It's the squad which needs major surgery.... Charlie Austin, Shane Long, Redmond..... Will these players get you goals? What about assists? We sold our most creative player to Ajax.... Just properly look at our squad problem is fans have unrealistic expectations .... Our team is pretty poor to many big standard average players like Stephens, Ward Prowse, Long, Davis...

The problem is the team and has been for 2 seasons, No spine no leaders on the pitch the over reliance on players who quite frankly are bang average or are not up to this level how can the board not get this? You need goals to win games so let's see who we have up top... Charlie Austin after 20 minutes he is like a cart horse, Shane Long runs around but offers no threat in fact the man couldn't finish dinner let alone a football. Should of been upgraded and sold ages ago.... Gabba technically our best player on a different level to what we have currently. The constant clever runs etc, it's a shame we do not have anyone capable of playing with him or are willing to give him some games..... Ings jury is still out give me 10 games at least.... But what do you need to create goals? Creative players.... Oh we have just sold our best player in this area to Ajax.... Who else can assist at a level that will keep us in the league let alone mid table...... What about threats? Redmond the next Henry what has he done for two seasons? Sims a player not afraid to run and take people on let's loan him out..... What A stupid baffling decision that is..... Hoijberg average.... Ward Prowse overrated no final end product.... I'm not going to even start with the defence that is a shambles... Jack stephens.... So yeah give Hughes some credit look at the toilet he has to work with! Fans want mid table get in the real world this team is lower league at best...

If we don't get at least 3 points then I'm sorry but changes sooner rather than later...

Bring Mitchell and the don
