Spot on. The fans have been duped by SR. It was a coup d'etat in the first place. They're a business concern not a football one ( many of us said this at the beginning). Their three club model, reckless waste of academy talent, transfer funds and signings and poor managerial signings, are proof enough. I bet they're paying themselves off nicely ( I'd like to know how much. Presumably several million a year each). Southampton FC is first and foremost a community football club and not an extractor of wealth of punters, for it's owners. SR must know this, couldn't care and simply ignore it. They're not interested in finding and applying the correct balance as seen with Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Sunderland etc.
Thought Woods had a good game as well as the other centre-backs. Apart from that it was pretty much our standard stuff. I just can't see us us getting into the play-offs; we're just not good enough. I really think we were duped again with this manager.
He had a shocking touch; Mr Legoman trying to trap the ball.
So how did SR not recruit a proper goal-scorer and a proper goal keeper in the summer? For a supposedly professional outfit that's criminal negligence. For a mistake that huge the morons should have sacked themselves.
I didn't like the set up and team selection - too negative. We were as toothless as a goldfish. We need two up front. Portsmouth largely coped with anything we had and when we did deliver there was nobody in the middle to stick it away.
