Plymouth vs Saints - Post Match Thoughts


exit2

Recommended Posts

We could sit here untill the end of time but the situation isn't going to change.IMO.

We have no money.

We have a manager who is trying his best with what we have got.

We have a manager who is inexperienced.

We have a playing staff that is not good enough.

We have a chairman,sorry chairmen,that are obstanate,ego orientated,and plain useless.

We have no suitors.

We are paying for past mistakes(see previous chairmen)

We are are in decline.

WE ARE NOW PAYING.

The result was obvious before a ball was kicked.

 

Of the 16 man squad:

 

Only 4 had played any more than a handful of matches at CCC level before this season.

 

Eight of them played 4 days ago against Exeter Reserves, where they scraped a 3-2 win.

 

I really do get the feeling this team was 2 fingers up to all those who complained at the AGM, and the rest of us who unhappy with the way things are at SMS.

3 points out of 21 since Reading win and that was supposed to be our turning point!!! Add to that our home form and any other Manager/Coach would have been sacked.

 

I am afraid our financial position has done for us. We will not likely go into administration but relegation is becoming more a certainty now.

That is four league defeats on the trot, no win for seven games. Can't see us getting anything against Reading. Unless the manager changes his tactics and starts making the most of the players we've got... nothing will change. Even if he does, it might already be too late.

 

Good job Forest lost.

Just getting into my time machine. I know that you should not interfere with history but this time i am.

Rupert holds his nerve and ignores the vocal minority who protest at the appointment of Glenn Hoddle in Spring 2004.

Hoddle is appointed. With his experience he is able to hold the dressing room and does not lose their respect.

We start a slow rebuild......

 

Back on 2008. OK, we have just beaten Liverpool 2-0 to go 6th in the Prmier League.

Last 16 league games ; 11 goals scored ( including 3 at Preston and 2 at Burnley, and 9 games without scoring ), 28 goals conceded ( including 5 games where we let in 3 or more ), and a wonderful, earth shattering, tally of 11 points.

 

As Jim Royle would say "Total Football - MY @RSE!!!"

It is actually nor longer serious...........it has reached the level of total farce.......

 

Farcical AGM with total discord.......

 

Farcical performances on the field........

 

Farcical utterances from the management and the poor stooge they wheel out on the OS every week to say how good things are in the camp!........

 

Farce in that there is nobody in the game that would want to manage this shower of losers.........or work for a board that is in total upheaval......

 

Farce that the bank keep supporting the club as gates dwindle and hope goes out with the tide...

 

Maybe the ManU cup game has staved off the day of administration, but it is coming soon........... Sooner the better.............it literally cannot be worse than the farce that portrays itself as Southampton Football Club today!!..............Happy 2009!!

The manager hasn't changed anything for a long long time. He persists in playing the same tactics game after game only changing faces, but its the same formation and same level of motivation each time.

 

Time for a change. But there is simply no way Lowe will back down and admit a mistake. If he does make a change then I imagine he will just shuffle the pack and appoint Wotte, Gorre or Hockaday head coach.

 

We can only hope we go so low down in the leagues that he leaves or gets brought out when we are worth less than 50p.

Usual crap from our totally inept manager and his inept players.

 

During the first half, our two wide players had apparently only got behind the Plymouth backs once and we had only one shot on goal. During the 90 minutes their goallie hardly had anything to do. What is the point of having wide players in the team if they can't be arsed to take on the backs and get behind them to put shots into the box from deep?

 

As usual, we only started to put any pressure at all on Plymouth when we were already two goals behind.

 

And just to prove how brilliant Notts Forest are, having beaten us convincingly, they were tonked 4-2 by the bottom team Doncaster, which will put them just a point behind us too as the teams above us start to open up a bit of a gap.

 

Time to start the protests in earnest at St Mary's with the Reading match. We've had over half a season now and if this half was replicated we are looking dead certs for the drop. Let's do something about it right now before it's too late. Time for Lowe to go, time for Jan to go.

But our next home game after Reading is ------ Doncaster. :(
