When will our inevitable points deduction for tapping up this less than successful manager be assessed....

We need to get to 40 points asap with the home games coming up against the top 5 and wolves we need to take points away. But wonder will they will come from. As others have said we are desperate for a leader. This team us too soft.

I wouldn't worry about 40 points. It won't take that many to stay up this season. 35 should do it this year.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

No leaders on the pitch. We haven’t a proper captain for beards.

Also WTF do they do on the training pitch all week? They look like a team of complete strangers.

The FA are pissing themselves, they think we have been punished enough already.

Yet another rubbish performance,we lacked passion,creativity and ability. I expected more from Silva than this. He is o bviously not setting the team to go out and play with any of those 3 things. Yes you would hope that quality players could do those but if he can’t motivate them then he should go.
I know all the arguments about needing to have stability but it appears that he isn’t capable as his coaching during the week is not improving the teams performance.

 

[T LEAFE]

Worst performance of the season.

Till next week

Big Sam just texted Do you miss me yet?

Those players were a disgrace to the shirt yet again today.

There were about a dozen times where a loose ball dropped and a Southampton player simply wanted to win it more. I don't like questioning effort, because it's probably more the mentality that's the root cause. But there were so many players who could have tried so much harder at certain points of the game. They are a disgraceful bunch of players. Not worthy to play for the club.

 

[BlueShark]

Well that's cheered me up no end!

Sorry mate lol

I wish I could offer some light in the current darkness, but I just don't see any positives at the moment.

Hardly going to be punished now, we have evidence that it doesn't take an "unwarranted approach from another Premier league club" to have Silva getting things wrong.

Marco Silva clearly has not got what it takes, we are worse now than the start of the season. We have regressed quite alarmingly... We need a proven manager but we can`t attract the big names because we are a mid table team. No idea what the answer is but I cant wait till we get to 40 points. Not convinced Silva is the right guy. Just my opinion and TBH I don`t know what people see to suggest any different.......

 

[donny]

Millwall be licking their lips at the though of our soft bunch of mercenaries.

We need a Howard K moment like Stoke in the Facup to galvanise this squad we have.It's the only hope we have left this season.We need to sweat blood to go all out for this competition.Whether Silva and the players we have can do this is highly questionable.

 

[Jreverton1]

Sorry, this one's on me. I put Digne in my fantasy football team for the first time this season. I apologise.

Yet Southampton seem to have found a passionate and tactically aware chap.
Can't believe they are more attractive or paying more than us.
