    Reading last nights tirades got me thinking. How many of us on here are glass half empty types and who is glass half full. I like to think I lean more towards the Adkins outlook on things although some days it's more difficult than others! What about you?

    I am neither. I believe what I see in front of me and since our away game at Bristol we have lost our way and something needs to be done about how we play.

    If we carry on as we have been playing then we can forget even a plyoff place.

    I am not not knocking Nigel but I am suggesting he does he job which is to sort out what is wrong and get the players motivated again.

    As it stands we are complete crap at home and away. I have been saying for a long time teams have sussed us out and stop us playing yet we still continue in the same way.

    I'm normally very positive but the team needs to wake up ffs.
    I love Southampton FC and always will,no matter what.

    Well earlier in the season when we were topping the table and had won umpteen games in a row at home, it was pretty much running over. Now it's half full, not half empty, but you can see the trend it is taking, much like the team.

    I always follow a routine after poor results. I get dissapointed and in a mood imeadiatly afterwards and tend to dissagree with everything everyone says, i.e if my dad says oh saints will turn it around I will give a negative resoponse and vice versa.The next day I cheer up and look forward to the next match I start to forget how poor we were and start convincing myself we will win convincingly this optimism continues then we loose and the cycle starts again!

    Most of us think we're half full types whereas others think we're half empty. It's hard to be optimistic at the moment not because we're pessimistic but more because we are realistic.
