Reply | Truly dire experience yesterday
at 14:05 7 Apr 2024
I was reading an article the other day about pointers to who wins the Championship playoffs. Historically finishing position has a bearing: 3rd: 47%, 4th: 21%, 5th: 21%, 6th: 11%. A bigger pointer is form over the last 10 games of the regular season.
If that's the case we'd better rediscover our form soon. Yesterday it just looked like we were going through the motions. |

Can't be bothered to work it out again but, before Friday's match, if all teams continued their form over the previous 5 games until the end of the season we'd finish joint 6th on points with Norwich. Currently we've got a much better goal difference. |

To get some perspective, PL refs make around 250 (according to Sky) near instant decisions in the space of a match – all with a load of people trying to con them & a load more continually whinging in their ear.
It's calculated they make an average of 5 errors per game – so they're right 98% of the time. Pretty good I reckon. I certainly wouldn't want the job.

Over the past 5 games we've now got the worst points return in the top 9. Thankfully it comes on the back of a great run.
It does feel as though teams have sussed out how to play us at home though. Huddersfield weren't good enough to keep it up for 90 mins. Hull were. Luckily we haven't got many more teams of that calibre to play at St Mary's. |

Yet another case of IFAB having to do something to justify their existence. |

That's a relief. The last thing we need is a disruptive influence around the place. You only have to look at the reports coming out of Nice about his lack of professionalism. |

Totally agree that we all deserve a second chance. If he went off and did an “ordinary” job he'd get loads more chances but I don't want him to be feted by the media & idolised from the terraces. It sends out all the wrong messages.
High profile jobs come with responsibilities. That's part of the deal. |

Don't know about the last bit. Even with the mooted departures we'll still have a big squad.
The fact is that we have no reduce numbers/wage bill. I can't see us replacing much more than half of the likely departures – even allowing for the demands of The Championship. |

I was tempted by this until I read the small print. It's fine if you live in a country where the EFL hasn't sold TV rights. Otherwise the number of games you can watch is severely restricted.
In the Netherlands Viaplay has bought the rights to televise 180 championship games this season. A lot of those will feature Saints – probably their most attractive fixtures - and you won't be able to stream them. |

KWP was doing all that and more before Tino arrived. It was one of the few positions that you could say was settled. We ended up shoehorning KWP in on the left where he was never truly effective & then had a period of continually chopping & changing.
In terms of the overall improvement to the team Tino's impact was negligible. Like replacing Romeu with Lavia it was all about making a profit. To that end they both served their purpose. |

Burnley didn't start brilliantly. They only won one of their first 5 and 4 of their first 12 - although they did draw a lot. It wasn't until mid October that they really hit their stride. It will take Saints time to adjust. |
