I haven't seen any evidence we're good enough to get out of it. Selles got his bounce against Chelsea and even though we were much improved in that game from the Jones era, we were still fortunate to win against a side in very poor form. We were then woeful in our losses at relegation rivals Leeds and at home to League 2 Grimsby, then more than a little lucky to somehow scrape a win at home to a struggling Leicester side who dominated the game and should have scored 4. We can't score goals, even when we come up against sides that are out of form or struggling for confidence themselves. Yes we need a decent striker, but as we create very little opportunities anyway and still look like we're going to concede in every game, the problems are a lot deeper than that. Of course we can still get out of it on paper, but unless there's some divine intervention, it aint gonna happen. | |

It's not dull when you're doing well. Ask Brighton fans. The Championship is even more dull when you're doing badly. Ask Birmingham fans. They'd love to swap places with them but Brighton fans wouldn't give up their place in the Premier League for the world. They are having the time of their lives. Most Championship clubs' fans would love to be in the Premier League. After a few years down there, the club stagnates and the fans drift away, as has happened at Birmingham and Reading.

But the process took so long, Brentford were already closing down any options for JWP. But, I am no coach, but there again, I wouldn’t have started Diallo in the first place either. | | | |

I felt the decision to bring in Elyonoussi and Diallo flattened the atmosphere and the buzz that had built up before the game. This was a terrible error in my opinion. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Your comment doesn't make sense Nick. When we are doing poorly I am critical. When we are doing well I am not. You, however, were nothing but critical throughout the period when the club was the most successful it had been since the the early 80s. | |

That’s about it. Enjoy finishing in the top half before the vultures circle and take all your best players. It won’t be long before both clubs start struggling. The Premier League is a cartel. Some of those elite clubs are state owned. Add to that the win at all costs cheating, the plastic glory seekers and the drooling bias of the media then it’s become an overpriced bore fest. I won’t cry when we go down. | |

I was critical of the way one individual who was an employee and not the owner was running the club, not of the club or the team . Success on the pitch does not mean a club is well run, as many have found out in the past including the likes of Manchester United, Portsmouth, Liverpool and quite a few more | |

Incorrect. You were VERY critical of the team. Any player not doing well who was signed during that regime you were quick to be critical of. De Ridder, Mayuka, Forren, etc. Success on the pitch? I've forgotten what that feels like tbh Nick. What other factors do you use to judge a club? And if you are going to say finances then please remember that every year Cortese was in charge the club posted healthy profits at companies house. Something that is very much NOT the case today. I can't wait to see what the accounts look like after we have spent £130m+ this season on an utterly useless bunch of never-will-bes... (even if we don't go down lol). | |

Well done for dropping to the floor to buy time ? , I`d rather lose honestly than win with all the kind of play acting on show last night. | | | |

Every one of the pundets say Southampton are going down. The same as any fans from ther clubs that phone up any radio show all say Southampton are going down. Read any clubs forum from any league and they all say Southampton are going down. We are. | | | |

And there's the conundrum. If we go into the Championship the fans will want promotion back to the PL and if we don’t get it there will be the same fan discontent as we have now. Football is broken | | | |
