Top five positives about saints at the moment.

What positive things does the club have going for it at the moment?

Put them in order here.

Not in the relegation zone.

Kept a clean sheet on Saturday.

Have a some quality players.

We seem to play better away from home.

struggling....

5 pledges are imminent(ish)

Decent keeper, Cup run, Every game is important now, Lemina and the hope Pellegrino is getting the sack.

1. Cup Quarter Finalists

2. Mario Lemina

3. Sims is back from injury

4. We don't concede many

5. One of the relegation places appears to already be nailed on. (I do feel for West Brom, their fans must be pulling their hair out.)

We have a dynamic chairperson at the helm whose command of the Canadian language and pledge culture will imminently 'double digit' us.

1) Alex McCarthy

2) Lemina

3) ON PAPER, a likely trip to Wembley for the FA Cup semis

4) We are not down and out like WBA

5) our away support

what a sh*t list not going to lie, apart from number 3.

Strikers scoring for fun,

quick thinking midfield streaming forward,

pressure we apply to the opposition,

intense competition for places,

great leadership on the pitch

No idea why we are struggling for a league win.

Not in relegation zone

Better away from home with more away games left

still in Fa cup

Less injuries than Palace

Settled back 5

Some VVD cash left to help us if we get relegated

Potential cup semi

McCarthy looking decent in place of Forster

Players on loan performing well for next year

Lemina is a decent player.

1) Alex McCarthy

2) Lemina

3) ON PAPER, a likely trip to Wembley for the FA Cup semis

4) We are not down and out like WBA

5) our away support

 

 

what a sh*t list not going to lie, apart from number 3.

Not sure you can say number 3 is 'likely'; it's certainly 'possible' but our opponents have beaten B'mouth, West Ham and Man City and have the fewest goals conceded across any of the top 4 leagues. They have beaten PL opposition 3 times out of 3 this season, we have done the same 7 times out of 31, I think. If we play to win we would have a decent chance, if we play not to lose we are IMHO unlikely to win.

Still a few winnable games left if we sack the manager now

Silva/Hughes/Bilic/A.N.Other still available if we sack the manager now

Players capable of so much more under a new manager

If we get relegated we will have to sack the manager

Lemina is good.

Lemina

At last we find a keeper

Better away from home

Defence seems OK(ish)

The last few games kept going till the end

We have a nice badge.

Ummm...Lemina will probably go for quite a bit of money.

Forster has been dropped.

That's pretty much it.

The owners don't interfere

The chairman doesn't interfere

The fans don't interfere

The goalscorers don't trouble anyone

Radio Solent covers everything

Lemina is awesome

Sims looks promising

FA Cup run

Good setup (ground, facilities etc)

We have loads of money

Cup Quarter Final

Lemina

Nice pitch

The half time relay race

Those health bars they gave out Saturday

Hands on new owners with deep pockets, altruistic ambitions and a 100% attendance record

A vastly experienced yet modest director of football who knows when to act when things go pear shape

A hands on Chairman who has a deep empathy with the fans with second to none, plain speaking communication skills

An inspirational captain who, sleeves rolled up, leads from the front

The club is going places

1. Alex McCarthy

2. Mario Lemina

3. A beautiful home shirt that was 50% off recently

4. The FA Cup run

5. Only lost 1 in 10 of our last competitive games

1. We are growing

2. We are drawing lots of games and draws are as good as wins

3. We are dominating periods of matches, sometimes up to 10 minutes

4. A relegation battle is more exciting for the fans

5. There are still loads of games to go (just not quite as loads as there were a few weeks ago)

The only positive is that we have a dynamic manager who believes that the squad we have we are able to take the game to our opposition by playing a fast high intensity style of football.

1.I have an 100% away record this season.

2.Cup Quarter Final.

3.Pellegrino will be gone in 3 months.

4.I like my seats.

5.The end of season player awards dinner might be cheaper this year or at least less crowded.

Edit: Just re read this- 1. I don't mean I've been to every away game but that Saints have won every away game I've been to this season.

1) Everyone can finally see that Les Reed is a fraud

2) Enough ‘half decent’ managers unemployed who can keep us up, should we sack MP

3) Other than Lemina and Bertrand, we have no more players Liverpool will want

4) As a fan, the championship will be more enjoyable and less expensive (hopefully)

5) We’re sh!t, but we’re not Pompey

Haven't really got the hang of this sarcasm lark have you? Also what is a "fast high institutions style of football?"

1) only defeated in 38% of our league games this season

2) one less defeat than the team in 6th place

3) scored 5 more goals than the team in 7th place

4) only 6 points off the top half of the table

5) an FA Cup semi-final beckons

6) 38 places above Pompey

7) I can't count

1) Within a sniff of an FA Cup Semi Final.

2) Decent kit.

3) No knee jerk panicking by the club.

4) Despite struggling to score goals we have still scored more than 8 other Premiership clubs.

5) We have a support base that is 100% behind the owners, the Board and the team (now that, Batman, is sarcasm)

1. Any league win would feel like winning a cup final

2. We still have things to play for and the end of the season promises excitement

3. Top of the net spend profit table

4. Steve Davis isn't playing

5. Shane Long doesn't start

4. Steve Davis isn't playing

Good job he is not as snooker and football are two total different sports.

Manager is likely to be sacked at some stage, thats a big positive.

It

Can

Only

Get

Better

It

Can

Only

Get

Better

Only 3 home games till the torture stops

The manager will get sacked when we get relegated

Les Reed will have to explain to the fans why

we are in the Championship

Les Reed will hopefully retire after securing relegation

We must have a shot on target a keeper

finds hard to save (it won't be from Shane Long)

We will try to win games when we

get a new manager

Cup quarter final

We don't get spanked often

Forster no longer in goal

Mario

I didn't renew my season ticket

Positives

1) We got rid of Puel

2) We got rid of Eric Black

3) We got rid of Gardos

4) We got tid of Rodriguez

5) We haven't sold Bertrand and Lemina yet

Negatives

1) We replaced Puel with Pellegrino

2) We replaced Black with Kelvin Davis

3) We replaced Gardos with Bednarek

4) We replaced Rodriguez with Carrillo

5) We will do

Still in the cup

Charlie Austin may be coming back ?

More Sat 3pm kickoffs next season?

Cheaper prices next season?

Next manager will be a step up

McCarthy

Sims

Lemina

We have a club

Still in premier

Not in the relegation zone.

Kept a clean sheet on Saturday.

Have a some quality players.

We seem to play better away from home.

struggling....

5. each game hastens the day when the cancerous board and Les Reed surely have to go.

1) Within a sniff of an FA Cup Semi Final.

2) Decent kit.

3) No knee jerk panicking by the club.

4) Despite struggling to score goals we have still scored more than 8 other Premiership clubs.

5) We have a support base that is 100% behind the owners, the Board and the team (now that, Batman, is sarcasm)

co-sign.

1) We aren't West Brom

2) We are still in the FA cup

3) We are playing Wigan instead of Man City in the FA cup

4) Lemina

5) Forster has been dropped

Cup semi coming up

Last day escape coming up

Lemina

Vvd is gone

Away form is decent

Things can only get better

Cup Quarter final

Got some good attacking options, (But need 2 up front to score some bloody goals)

At least we aren't losing games

As said above, Lamina

We will retain the net spend trophy again

Targett is getting rave reviews at Fulham so will be perfect for us in the championship next season, When we sell Bertrand for £25m next season and don't need to buy a replacement

Reed is going well at Norwich so when we sell Lemina we will have a ready made replacement for him too

With the above 2 and 3 we are guaranteed the Net spend trophy next year too.

When we go down most of the knobhead, premier league fans we've got will disappear
