If the Generals are fighting one another, who is fighting the opposition?

 

Having been a fan for over 45 years......please don't anyone think I am any less concerned / disappointed / angry / and thoroughly pi**ed off with the current situation. However, the facts of the matter are; we have the staff we have, the players we have and unfortunately some Board members who aren't up to it. BUT at this stage of the season we're sewn up .....no one dare suggest we should have another managerial change ....please. The majority of our squad are so young (in experience) that they are still learning and need the help of those they know, not some hard-nosed type threatening them with the relegation that seems increasingly likely - at present.

 

For the many of you who are committed fans (and maybe considerably younger than I) there is little consolation except to say that some of us have seen it all before. With the limited number of games still left Saints must turn the corner in the next month, and we cannot rely of the likes of Norwich and Plymouth (who are also in freefall ) ...volunteering to replace us in the bottom three.

 

Lord alone knows where we will be next season, but this I know those of us who suffered through the dismal years of the early 1970's, but were relegated, and those who rejoiced after the Great Escape campaign of 1998-99 will know that the only parties who matter here are the fans and the players. The Board have done their (best / worst) and the manager has his task....I have rarely seen players (especially young ones) who reacted postively to jeers, threats and sarcasm. We could all write pages of such here ..and most of it would be correct. I am fully in agreement with EVERYONE who says there are issues that the Board must take real responsibility for ..are you listening Rupert ?... but right now the ONLY issue is the next 95 mins. in the next match.

 

For goodness sake, everyone who ever called himself a fan and can walk or crawl ought to be down at SMS today and screaming themselves hoarse and helping the team get that elusive win...That's what I did along with thousands of others years ago, AND we did it STANDING UP for 2½ hours - often with rain running down our necks. My visits to SMS are far too rare these days, but I feel it an honour to go and cheer ANY Saints team - even this lot. Don't let these chances disappear, it's a long way back up from League 1 ---do all you can to preserve the little honour we have left!

 

COYR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. Everyone needs to put their differences behind them until the end of the season and pull together. If the worst happens then there will be plenty if time for recriminations, finger poining, *****ing and blaming then.

 

Divided we fall. Somehow we need to find the Dunkirk spirt but certain characters have already decided it is over and are throwing petrol on the fire.

 

There are points to play for and safety to be won. People like Wiseman should shut the f*ck up until our fate is sealed. He is just making things worse.
