The under-achievement has to stop now, the team/club HAVE to match their support!! Sorry rant over, just that Southampton Football Club's best and most deserving asset is it's diehard fans.

Just that I can hear 19,000 odd of you giving great support and the team screwing up - like it has for 5 years. It has to stop - No more excuses or sub-standard showings. To be fair Tim the team didn't screw up. Their is room for improvement with our wide players and Lalllana in particular but we also still have Mclaggon to come back in who is a very bright prospect. OUr back 4 looked good but for one defensive lapse that they were made to pay and we should have been 3-1 up at half time. Not only that Pardew has I think made a very eloquent and reassuring assessment of our situation and provided we accept mid table safety is our aim this season in readiness for an assualt on the automatic promotion places next season there was much to enjoy today and many positives. Hearing Pardew clearly identify the weaknes and hold the individuals concerned to account and give them the challenge of upping their game it feels pretty good to be a fan tonight if I am honest and certainly not downbeat, very positive in fact.

BTW I would estimate that 3,000 of that 19,000 were a very strong Brentford contingent so given we have 11,300 ST holders the support perhaps wasn't as great as it could have been.

saint1977 Posted 22 August, 2009 Share Posted 22 August, 2009 You have to admit there was certainly signs of improvement. Well, it was a 5.5/10 performance from a 2/10 at Swindon. Still won't keep us up though. AP is buying well which gives me hope - Harding, Trotman were 8/10 for me and Hammond was nice and tidy and we missed Murty, James and Thomson were so bad it was untrue. AP now needs to locate two wingers with pace and a striker with pace asap and we might turn the corner. Get the academy lads out on loan and that includes Lallana and replace them with adults.

With respect. I was at the game today,so entitled to comment on the game. I have been to every home and most away games in the last few seasons(and endured some crap performances along the way),and the team is heading in the right direction IMO. It might only be f***ing Brentford,but a lot of people think they are one of the better teams in this league. You have to put things in perspective.

SFC Forever Posted 22 August, 2009 Share Posted 22 August, 2009 Silly season is back but I am left thinking about how close we were to beating Burnley at the end of last season. Had we won and the next game done the same we could have been relegated through the points deductions leaving us a level playing field. Burnley beating Utd started this line of thought and now I guess I can wait for the ridicule to begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, what I'm saying is Brentford are nothing with less than zero resources, no money, horrible support and no future...whereas Saints have bank, you and 20k plus diehard fans that are witnessing football two league lower than their support deserves. So well done to the little-barely-more-than-pub team Brentford, but we must close crap like that out...especially after taking a second half lead.

dubai_phil Posted 23 August, 2009 Share Posted 23 August, 2009 Adding to the debate, I'm not happy at our start, but I did expect it. We had a bunch of kids who were taught to play PL style football - they were never going to hack it in this league from the off. We played two of the 'more fancied" TEAMS in the league. We had players who probably had never seen SMS before yesterday on the pitch We played a team still in the bubble of promotion, they ALL punch above their weight for a while - heck, how many games did we used to lose at the Dell against newly promoted sides? Burnley this year anyone? So, no not happy, yes it needs to be turned around REALLY quickly, yes I think it\s quite clear AP understands this and has told us so, yes I do think it will turn around, and finally, no I never believed for one minute we would get to a playoff place and nothing I have heard so far changes that. But then AP & NC & ML all but told us that when they bought the club, so why the total panic? Most medication to cure most diseases takes time to work. The time for the quick jab was 3 years ago, but we kept changing Doctors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 23 August, 2009 Share Posted 23 August, 2009 BTW I would estimate that 3,000 of that 19,000 were a very strong Brentford contingent so given we have 11,300 ST holders the support perhaps wasn't as great as it could have been. Serious question now. Why breakdown the figures of support into ST/NonST holders? Surely all supporters who attend are valued? Now, if we are getting really pedantic, what about any ST holders who didn't attend? Surely their non attendance (despite the obvious financial support) is not as great as it could have been? We're all supporters just with differing levels of ability (for whatever reasons) to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TijuanaTim Posted 23 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 23 August, 2009 They brought loads yesterday and were louder than Saints for pretty much the whole game. That's all well and good - in FACT great for Saints 3,000-2,000 or whatever at about 25 quid a pop FOR SOUTHAMPTON. At home they struggle to get 7k and last season (and historically) they get barely 5,000 so they have some of the worst support in English football and (despite their occassional over-achieving) should be dispatched easily by the likes of us.
