Thread | Looks like the official end of the 'Southampton Way'
at 15:51 17 Dec 2019
Saints U23's are bottom of U23 Div2. So much for Reed's diligent choosing of academy product. What does this mean? Well if we're not progressing through the ranks to the first team our only way of improvement is via Gao's financial input. Seems like he's got no money so it looks like the same squad with the same clueless manager until we're relegated.
Thanks Les, thanks RK, thanks Kat, thanks Gao.
What a f*****g useless shower of s***e the lot of 'em. |

Thread | Well done Ralph one down only two to go!
at 14:43 24 Nov 2019
Starting 11 minus Romeu plus Armstrong miles better as we all saw.
Starting 11 minus JWP plus Boufal would be MASSIVELY better.
Starting 11 minus PEH plus Anybody would be even better.
Is Ralph finally taking some advice?
If he's got the bottle to do the above we could possibly make 17th. |

Thread | Seems like RH has sorted out our problems in defending at last.
at 15:30 21 Nov 2019
He's been introducing extra 'pressing' practice. (Possibly we will have nice crisp shirts now). This is to allow us to gain the ball further up the field and then, having realised that there is no midfield advance, take on their defenders by dribbling up alleys and then lose possession again. We can then chase back because we've been caught on the break. We can vary our tactics by failing to press occasionally and booting the ball up to our two lonesome warriors, Redmond and Ings, so they can over dribble and lose possession again. RH has worked these tactics out by, cleverly, avoiding any pace or individual talent in midfield and can repeat these moves ad infinitum. He states that he's getting back to basics by concentrating on 'pressing'. I'm sure that this will prevent us from shipping another three goals against and lead to victory at the Emirates. Let's hope they don't sack RH soon as this is really fun to watch. |

Thread | RH admits defeat in the Echo and still they won't sack him.
at 13:30 13 Nov 2019
He says the players are panicking during matches and are not able to complete his tactical instructions. Although the players are below the required standard for top half of the Premiership there is no need to ship so many goals. A bit of organisation at the back plus dropping his insane obsession with three at the back and two holding midfielders could easily improve our appalling defensive record by balancing defence with attack. What he has done here at Saints is identical to his final year at Leipzig where the DOF was trying to get him to curb his obsession with pressing in order to improve the goals against stats which were accumulating. He stubbornly refused and had to step down and now we've got the same problem and Gao hasn't got the money to sack him. I think, in hindsight, Gao may come to realise that he couldn't afford not to. |

Thread | RH looks beaten in after-match interview
at 19:48 9 Nov 2019
Sack must be imminent and a relief all round by the looks of it. He was too stubborn to change. We played with RH choice team in first half. That's five at the back, two out of position wing backs, Romeu and JWP as a joke midfield and RH wondered why they were short of confidence.
Second half he fields something more like the fans choice players, Boufal (our best player) completely transformed the team and injected some much needed energy and enthusiasm which resulted in a well deserved equaliser. If RH had played the fans choice team from kick off we could have won, but he is obsessed with defending even when that persistently fails to produce a result. Any other manager could get more out of the players than what we've seen. Let's hope we've got enough in the kitty. |

Poor selections. Wrong positions. Suspect subs. Dopey Captain.
For God's sake sack him. |
