Saints take on Norwich City at St Mary's this afternoon, but their biggest opponent is going to be their own fans if social media comments are a measure.
Is Saints season a disaster ? some would have you believe that it is, however a 2-0 win against Norwich will put us up to 9th and only two points off the top 4 as well as being above the likes of Chelsea & Spurs.
Of course that is a fine line and we need to beat Norwich, but we are a good side playing badly not a bad side playing to par.
We are also a side with injury problems and that has meant that we have struggled to get any sort of rhythm going.
Some seem to ave forgot that last season had similar patches and that we overcame those and marched on to our best season in three decades.
So Saints fans need to be behind their team from the off this afternoon, we need the solidarity that we have always had over the years in the face of adversity, close ranks and stick together and triumph.
We surely will triumph if we do this, some need a reality check and ealise that football is about a season not a bad patch or two, perhaps it wont hit the heights of last season, perhaps it will but it wont if we as supporters are part of the problem and not the solution.
Saints can go out ths afternoon and get their first three points of the season and things will seem a lot better, Ronald Koeman has the experience to get us through this.
