It is difficult to argue that it has actually caused us any problem, would we have been markedly better off, points-wise, if he had played regularly from when he was recovered from his initial injury? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Wether we go up or not I feel I’ve more than had my moneys worth from my ST- already.And a large part if that is down to RM. I find it genuinely refreshing in an age of tricksters charlatans and general bullshitters to have a Manager with his emotional intelligence, self-belief and strength of character. His ability to articulate those beliefs into a football philosophy is excellent. The PB game he espouses is not new but he intelligently borrows from the best of the best out there in it whilst retaining all the traditional traits that we care about and insist upon. The result is possibly an historic undefeated run and certainly kudos and people taking notice - for the right reasons- of what’s happening here in sunny Soton. If it does not end in promotion many will write it off as failure. As would he. I, regretfully, have to concur with that but, to paraphrase one of the Romantics - it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. And Russell has given us a reason to love Saints and our football once more, so for that alone if nothing else, I’m grateful. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True not saying we should use it as a reason to beat Martin but ultimately the club agreed to sign someone that was already injured on signing and had previous injuries before that, someone at the club thought that was a good decision....

Yup that’s true and something RM and team say repeatedly. Sounds like they use that thought as a spur and constant reminder - especially matches like today. My appreciation for RM is actually twofold- first & foremost it’s the football and the points - but in addition I appreciates the ephemeral side of things that he’s brought to our club, city amd fans worldwide. You never stop supporting the team you love - but the team you love can sometimes be a source of upset anger and frustration when things go wrong. Conversely the opposite can also be true. I think RM and team have done a lot to enhance the “happiness quotient” for want of a better phrase, for Southampton supporters and it’s diaspora. I know many on here will heap scorn on me for saying so but sometimes it’s not all about the result - it’s how you play, the spirit in which you play, the attitude towards competing. And on all those counts Saints under RM get a ✅ from me. 😇 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a great shame to not go up this year, especially as if we carry on as we are the points would be good enough to go up most years. Appreciate everyone is different, but for me I didn’t expect us to be doing as well as we are (playoffs at best was what I thought) - and certainly didn’t think the atmosphere would have turned as positively as it has done. RM has to take credit for that. Let’s hope we can finish the job. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the key takeaway for me - not the football or the performance, as it was a real shocker for the majority. It was the character and balls they showed, a real never say die attitude even though they couldn't catch a break with their passing today! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
