Big gap now.
I don’t see Leicester bottling it.
Not sure about Ipswich; they have a really excellent manager. They may just last the course.
Don’t book any holiday for the end of May, peeps….. |  |

Leicester and Ipswich were my favourites for the top 2 before the season started.
Leicester are a bigish club and have history of winning things.
Ipswich had a storming end to last season and I thought they would carry that on .
As for us I thought top 10 maybe top 8 and still think that’s where we will finish. [Post edited 8 Oct 2023 10:21]

Put it this way, we won't be there with this numpty in place unless he changes his ways after yesterday's debacle |  | | |

Any manager who decides to go out and try to defend a 1-0 lead just after half time with a return to sideways back (unlike the first half) and then inevitably concedes a goal deserves the abuse-and yet he arrogantly decides to stop and argue.
As Adam Clarke rightly commented, he won't be here by the end of the season. | | | |

3 points was a must yesterday, Rotherham were there for the taking.
Teams work us out too easily and if Rotherham can the future is bleak.
Pompey look like being in this division next season,I hope Martin isn't.
We're too soft. |  | | |

That second half showing was fkn abysmal
we should have buried them within 30 minutes - was AA actually off I couldn't see from behind the goal?
Lets hope this Stewart chap can score regularly as we are desperate for that, Che can leave January happily
RM got it all wrong again, one step fwd, two steps back
If only we have got that Man City chap who chose Leicester over us [Post edited 8 Oct 2023 11:56]

Che went downhill yesterday and looked thoroughly pi55ed off and his attitude seemed to be elsewhere, but in his defence that was probably cos he didn't get any service and with the way we played 2nd half there was no way the ball would get up to him anyway!
He'll go in January if anyone would want him. Shame, he'll do well in the Championship!! | | | |

Even if Rod Stewart doesn't score many himself, if he is strong in the air then we will create more real chances. At the moment, we build up too slowly a lot of the time and that leaves with only one option - to throw a hopeful cross into a packed penalty box. Our midgets wont win many of those balls. If there is someone who can get on the end of a cross, if they knock it down or even if they just get in the way of the defence, then that will result in more good chances.
Of course if we moved the ball upfield quickly we wouldn't need to do that, but I suspect under RM we will always be reverting to type.
As for the AA "goal", it looked offside to me. | | | |

This game wasn’t just a game we had to win. This was a game we had to win big. We should have been smashing a team like Rotherham 5-0 or 6-0 to make a statement and redress our 💩 GD
At 1-0 after two minutes to not score again with 79% possession is pathetic |  | | |

Yes, but it's the possession that counts - not the goals or points. Russell Martin will be thrilled to bits that we had 79% possession. Getting 3 points is just a distraction. |  |

Assuming it will take time for RM and the squad to be ready for promotion next season if not this.
I would say a play off place this year would be an achievement. If we do reach the play offs not sure we are strong enough to go up this year.
I expect SR to be patient and also the fans. | | | |

Pat, if you honestly think that after yesterday’s debacle we have any chance of promotion under the guidance of Russell Martin then get down to your local bookie. Our odds have increased from 9/2 before a ball was kicked to 25/1 today and it’s still only the first week of October.
Alternatively, keep hold of your money and put it toward next season’s ticket in the Championship because that’s where we will be playing. | | | |

Let’s face facts we’re quarter of the way through the season and we’re 11 points out of the automatic promotion positions. I can’t see us getting either of those spots and if we carry on dropping points like we are we aren’t going to win the playoffs. Don’t forget we’re likely to lose KWP, Sulemana and Che at Christmas and there’s no guarantee Stewart will deliver. | | | |

Why are Leicester so much better run than us?
They are a similar sized club with a pretty much identical stadium and yet they have won a PL title and an FA Cup in the last decade while we have won less games of football than any other league team.
Even when we are both relegated they still end up being infinitely better at getting promoted than us. |  |

1. Better owners.
2. Better recruitment of players
3. Better choices in managers | | | |

The potential of Saints is enormous, but what have we done with all those years in the Premiership? How many years have we been the biggest club on the South Coast? Saints fans are as passionate as any other and always attend games home and away in good numbers,we deserve more than what is being served up again and again. But be warned I sense the patience is wearing very thin, that will be reflected in falling gates if the club don’t move to change results. | | | |

Alas, it is this simple.
Although 2 and 3 are inextricably linked to 1. | |
