Toomer Posted 1 November, 2014 Share Posted 1 November, 2014 A week to recharge the batteries after two tough away games and we should take all three points, I hope Pearson gets a good reception because I don't think he did a bad job for us.

eelpie Posted 1 November, 2014 Share Posted 1 November, 2014 I hope Nigel Pearson gets a good reception from Saints fans.

krissyboy31 Posted 1 November, 2014 Share Posted 1 November, 2014 Deano, if he plays should get a good reception, as should Pearson.

Dr Who? Posted 1 November, 2014 Share Posted 1 November, 2014 weird feeling on this one, saying easy 3 points for ages and now thinking, it has the perfect makings for a premier league classic slip up! But saying that, surely not 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Tony Posted 1 November, 2014 Share Posted 1 November, 2014 Another tough game, a few signs of tiredness today, hopefullt RoKo gives them a bit of rest in the week. Leicester have struggled for goals recently. It's quite incredible how well we're doing, the last few games have proved we're a cut above a lot of teams in this league. Whilst I am worried it's all a bit too good to be true what is happening right now, and convinced we're due a defeat, confidence is high and we're playing too well.

Wiggles31 Posted 1 November, 2014 Author Share Posted 1 November, 2014 I like Leicester and hope they do well this season but with all due respect to them we are firing on all cylinders and couldn't be playing a better team at home as they are not scoring and losing games. I'll give a good reception to Pearson and the opposite to that smug little skate Nugent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igsey Posted 2 November, 2014 Share Posted 2 November, 2014 Dean Hammond deserves a great reception, maybe bring out his old song (if anyone still remembers it!)? Nugent deserves everything he gets, surprised he didn't link up with Arry, I'm pretty sure there was some kind of love-in going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sort of how I remember it too, but when I looked it up turns out he only presided over 3 wins from 14 games, which even given weak team ain't exactly pulling up trees. In other news, with 76% win rate, Koeman is currently the best Southampton Manager OF ALL TIME. I mean, statistically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 2 November, 2014 Share Posted 2 November, 2014 This will be my 2nd game of the season - my first was QPR so expect something spectacular lads!

Shroppie Posted 2 November, 2014 Share Posted 2 November, 2014 I have a lot of respect for Nigel Pearson. He instilled belief in team that had none and saved us from relegation, against the odds. Didn't deserve to be pushed out. Yes, we've had technically better managers but his commitment and passion were great and he had a really good close rapport with fans.

Ooooo Mariaaan Posted 2 November, 2014 Share Posted 2 November, 2014 Pearson didn't go because of form, he went because he was on stupid money and wouldn't budge. We couldn't afford it - so he went.

Weston Saint Posted 2 November, 2014 Share Posted 2 November, 2014 I do not get all this blaming Lowe. The previous guys spent too much without a return and even though Crouch came to the rescue for a while it was too late. They gambled with our future and lost! Lowe came back in to see if he could rescue but there was no money to pay for a decent Manager like Pearson. That is why we went down the cheap route. Even then it was too late. If we had not been in the financial mess I am confident Pearson would have been engaged for a longer spell. However that is in the past. The present is beyond our wildest dreams from those dark days.
