Got 4-0 written all over it, may even be more, sadly

Yea we're probably going to get battered, our travelling fans are going to fawn over the opposition manager and in the background the club fail to appoint a new manager from a club two divisions below who was the assistant to Southamptons manager when he was our manager.

1 big embarrassing shitshow.

We're a basket case and its seems clear that the word as got around to any would be interested Head Coach/Manager, we're a club who doesn't know in what direction its going, we brought Watson in who has very little idea about the way we've played its totally alien to the football played by the clubs he's been at, Coleman is out of his depth its clear to see, but he's just a fall guy for Levien and will take the flack that he doesn't fully deserve. At least most if not all of us will or should know who the real culprit is in all this fiasco.

There is too much negativity so let's balance it out a little. Southampton are better than us and expect to win. Doesn't always work out that way. Look forward to seeing a good performance on the road against a well funded club. Still a long way to go and we have a few returning from injury.

The negativity is probably at a realistic level! Southampton haven't lost since September 23rd. Law of averages says they have to lose at some point, but we will have to play hell of a lot better than we have been to get anything.

We are so obviously going to lose, to the extent that we will win. (it made sense when I started writing it down, not so much now)

If Southampton hit thier straps it could get embarrassing.

2-0 to us :lol:

 

[sainthelens]

We havnt had a real tuning for long time. This could get proper ugly.
Park the bus we may scrape a draw.
We won't tho.

Hopefully Sheehan doesn't find his big boy balls and decide to try and set us up to press them like we have done to other teams this season. If we to after them they'll pass it around us like we aren't there. They have individuals miles ahead of where we were under Martin, and we won't be able to just press them into mistakes the way teams used to do for us. Our best chance is to stifle them by defending our box, we know Martin doesn't have much final 3rd creativity. Then come up with a good plan and team to hit them on the counter.

To be a decent pressing team, you need pace in your team, the tea lady has more pace than 95% of this team, sadly!
