Ronald Koeman has spoken of the need for unity in his squad during this awful run and that rings just as true for the Saints supporters.
Saints manager Ronald Koeman has reminded his players that cannot be able to celebrate the good times together unless they have been a cohesive unit when they have had their backs against the wall.
"It’s still not worse, I like to be the manager, I am happy to work with the players.
"It’s the most difficult situation until now of course.
"Everything was going well, we had a lot of positive critics and that was the message to the players — it’s so easy when everything is going well to make dancing in front of everybody, but now we have to keep togetherness.
"That is what I expect and that is not what we showed today because that is against that message.”
Koeman knows as both a player and a manager that it is much harder to achieve your goals if not everyone is pulling together and that message should be taken on board by the supporters as well.
Some on social media seem to be losing some perspective of where we are and where we have come from, yes we are in the middle of a truly awful run, perhaps as bad as we have ever had in the top flight, but that doesn't mean that everything is bad.
Koeman is right that we need to be able to pull together in the bad times, but some see it as a time to have a pop at the club.
We have had constant progress since 2009 when Markus Liebherr took over, every year has seen an improvement on the previous season's League position, but some have forgotten that at times these previous six seasons have not all been a bed of roses, we have had our ups and downs during that time and we have come through because we all stuck together.
But for some now they cannot seem to accept that sometimes there are choppy waters, that sometimes a football team has to regroup and rebuild and come back stronger, they have forgotten just how bad we were in the first half of our first season back in the Premier League, how bad that squad initially was, but how it grew together got on the right track and finished 14th in the League.
Ironically players that are spoken about now in hushed tones after they have left, were given stick in that first season back, but they stuck together and improved and that can happen again.
Now if we could achieve that position with the squad we had three short years ago, then we are more than capable of not only matching that but improving on it.
I said at the start of the season that our goal should be a third consecutive top 10 finish and that goal remains attainable.
But some seem to want progress in terms of League position year on year out and to be blunt that was always going to be near on impossible, the reality of the Premier League is that money talks, it is good to see club's like Saints last season and Leicester this challenge, but the reality is that breaking even into the top six is hard when you look at club's like Liverpool, Spurs & Everton, giants from the past, but rarely able to break into the top four these days, but still a big hurdle for any club harbouring 5th, 6th o 7th in the league.
Saints job is to keep challenging for that top 10 position and in doing so keep improving the squad and keep improving our chances of not only a top five finish but of getting to a Cup Final and winning it.
Yes it s difficult to watch Leicester do so well when we have dropped like a stone in the past six games, but we showed against Arsenal what we can do and if we can repeat that in our next two games both at St Mary's then the world will look a rosier place.
So the message from Ronald Koeman to his players is clear and it should be the same to the supporters, the very definition of the word is that we are there to support the club and not hinder them.
