Well a win certainly puts a different perspective on things. Eckert has a better record than any of the 13 other Saints' managers since Nigel Adkins:

Why don’t we have a statue of Er Arnfield FFS?
Five Southern Leagues and one Western Football League Division 1A.
You’ll never sing that! |  |

Eckert's win percentage is even better than his now.
Eckert has the best win percentage of any Saints' manager in our entire history in the Football League and the best since 1897 in our Southern League days.

Saints' historian, 'Fizhugh Fella', co-author of the best book on Saints history, just posted this on Saintsweb:
"Hopefully this is considered worthy of a new thread. With help from Keith Fray who has digitalised all Southampton's results since 1885 in preperation of the forthcoming Official History book, I have checked to see if Saints have ever overturned a three goal deficit to win a competitive football match. The answer is never have we managed it - either home or away.
We have come back from being 3-0 down at home to draw 3-3 a few times, eg Liverpool (Pahars), West Ham (Paine) and Forest in the Cup (1963) but never won a three goal comeback and certainly not away. What is it about our manager? Never before have we scored 5 goals away in a either half of a game and yet we did it at Charlton under his stewardship.
Two records in one season." [Post edited 11 Feb 11:30]

Probably of a similar tone to when they haven’t bothered to show up.
Did you enjoy your trip to Leicester last night? I can’t be sure. | | | |

Brilliant 👍
We won, the rest is icing and marzipan. | | | |

Maybe he is. We've never had a manager who's started this well before, especially with a team that had only won 4 of its previous 50 games. | |

Problem we'll have will be keeping him.
If he continues to impress then it won't be long before he's head hunted by a bigger club. | | | |

I just hope we can keep hold of him. He is clearly headed for the top: from the moment he took over as interim you could see he had something about him.
He (and his team) have totally transformed the club from a depressing mess into a cohesive 'all for one, one for all' mentality and they fight like hell for each other.
I think we have too much to do to get promoted this season (after the awful start under Still) but we can feel pride in our team again. It's a pity about our start becuase, as today showed, we could hold our own in the Prem now there is a sense of belief. | | | |

You say that from the moment he took over….he had something about him.
I noticed that too. | | | |

Why did I ever doubt it? He is an absolutely brilliant manager. Teams like Saints don't usually get managers this good.

Totally agree. He's calm, cool, collected, smart, tactically astute. He is doing an outstanding job and deserves to take us all.the way. | |
