9 points by February is basically safe I think, so I'll relax for the rest of the season now. Cheers tall Paul you delightful giant.
That comment was when he first came on & I felt correct but yes, he seemed to “catch up” (?) & was ok.
How are we only 8pts from safety. I say only 8, when we have only achieved 9pts all season but really? We should be completely out of reach.
I've got a six year old son. At the start of the season he decided he wanted to watch some Saints games on TV or a stream with me. After a few games he said something like "They do too many passes Daddy." and I laughed and explained the manager tells them what to do and he wanted them to pass a lot. As we kept losing he lost interest in watching. I told him when Russell Martin was sacked and said we might get better now in the hope he might watch with me again but no. Anyway, I've just told him we won today and he jumped in the air and shouted "Yes!" followed by "That's probably because they got rid of their stupid manager Daddy."
I said a few days ago that the "efforts" of this season's promoted three were even worse than last season's. And none of them even made it to 30 points! Luton were outside the bottom three, with more points than any of us three, at this stage last season. The only reason why last season's relegation battle wasn't wrapped up early was because Everton and Forest's points deductions. And this season, it's because of Wolves. Any team with 17 points from 24 points deserves to be bottom, not outside the relegation zone altogther!
We've actually now got 3 home games in a row, starting with Burnley in the FA Cup. There is an opportunity to gain some momentum.
