Tim Southampton Rover

@Herbie6590 I originally wrote how many points off top we were....so maybe I do belong in an asylum!

Let's hope the win kicks off a great run of results. Time to be positive. 15 points off play offs....a win here and we're basically going for promotion 🤣 Back in the real world, anything but a loss is a good result against a fellow struggler.

Yes. As they have a really bad owner and at the time had a load of players who had talent but gave zero effort. A bit similar to us - we have a bad owner but players with arguably no talent that gave effort. 😂

Forgot to add - Hassenhuttl A big no for me. Again, at Southampton I believe his assistants were the key to his success. When they went, so did his form and job. I could be wrong but I think they're all in management work elsewhere now. Edit: Danny Rohl was one of the assistants. He's now at Rangers and was linked to us when at Wednesday a year or so ago I think.

I've watched pretty much all the Saints games, what with living down here, and even more pre-match/post-match content with Will Still. He's actually said multiple times that he doesn't really have a preferred style. He just tries to win games with the players he has and if they suit a certain style then he'll go with it. I'm sure he also spoke about wanting to change the way Southampton played but was restricted to the personal he had so couldn't. I guess a bit like V.Ismael saying the same with our lot (maybe a common excuse when you're losing? 😂). Personally, putting Saints results aside, I actually really liked him as a person. He comes across brilliant in interviews and doesn't shy away from performances from the team and his own. It's quite refreshing. Maybe that's what helped his demise - the players probably heard a lot of reality checks that they're not used to. Would I like him at Blackburn? Probably yes - I think he could be a good fit for us....however, throwing him into a relegation scrap is probably not the right time for him or for us.

Considering our position, our form, our season, I couldn't care less if we played worse than that. We needed those 3 points. If we play the same against Norwich and win the game. Bring it on. Finally, I don't care what people say about Lewis Miller. I bloody love him. Cantwell, as captain, could learn a lot from him. He may not have the best technical ability but he gives 100% no matter what. I know that if he's playing, we will have at least 1 player who will be fighting for us fans to win that game. I just hope the other players look towards him to see the effort he puts in and tries to mirror that.

Coleman?! Ismael - all is forgiven! Please come back.

I thought Nyambe had the potential to be good enough. Personally, I thought he suited playing on the right side of a back three - a bit like Miller for us. He had the physical attributes, the energy, sadly not any attacking ability, which for a right back or right wing back - that's now part of the job. Whether players want to stay or not, too many times we've seen the club put in half arsed attempts to try and keep a valuable player, which I'm convinced is to try to keep fans on their side rather than to actually want to keep the player. I appreciate when a big club comes in, it's hard to compete financially, but when players end up going to another club in the same division, you need to question why. Travis, Batth, Weimann being recent examples. Had we offered Dolan a bigger, deserved wage, I'm convinced he would have signed way before finding a move to Spain. Tronstad is another player that i'm sure would have re-signed after he won the player of the year last season if he was offered more money. He'll be leaving on a free and we'll struggle to replace him.

Anyone but Rooney. I've seen planks of wood more intelligent than him.

It will be a bit awkward for Venkys when quite a few of the Derby Rovers team, that wasn't considered good enough for Championship football, makes it into the Premier League 😂 Eustace + staff Batth Sanderson Travis Weimann Brereton Diaz Szmodics Nyambe We've now seen that a bit of extra money, ambition, and trust does go a long way. It's even more awkward that deep down we probably like their players a lot more than our own! 🤣

I wouldn't want Phil Jones as manager but I wouldn't be against him being part of the coaching team. He seems very driven, switched on, and knows the club inside out.

It will be an awkward situation when we have too many players and not enough places available. Who is going to pick the 25 man squad? These would be cracking episodes if it was about Harchester United on the tv show Dream Team, not an unprofessional football club.

Sad to say but I can't see any of our current team having the balls to do that 🤣

Just trying to get into the mind of Rudy on who I think he'll choose. The obvious will be: Previous Managerial Experience in England Good with Data Likes integrating youth players An up and coming coach that will work with us in Champ or L1 Can Speak English Can Speak French (i'm serious, I think that would be a deciding factor 😂) My guess, and it's not who I want (before anyone moans) is that I think Rudy will appoint Will Still as the new manager.

Why do we need Zidane when we have Tim Sherwood Damien Johnson?
