People like me? You mean people who don't agree with you?
Again, if you reel your neck in and take time to read my post you will see I'm not happy with what SR have done, in fact if you read previous posts I've been critical of SR who have been as poor if not poorer than Chairman Gao.
What I’m saying is it’s ridiculous to be baying for a manager’s head withing 6 games of the start of the season. At that rate we could go through 7 managers in a season |

Agreed it's not a great start to the season but we're only 6 games in. People calling for the manager’s head after 6 games or less need to get a serious grip.
Booing subs coming on and cheering when players are being subbed does not help the team - getting behind the team when things are going badly does help.
So, let’s get behind the team like the majority of fans and give Still a chance. He’s had a load of new players within the last 2-3 weeks and has had little time to work with them so let’s get a reality check.
Look at the real issue we have which is the lack of a striker and it doesn’t matter who is in charge as we’ve seen before if you don’t have a striker you don’t win games.
Look at our recruitment of strikers since Pelle left and you see where the real problem lies.
2016/17 – Gabbiadini (6 goals; 0 assists), Austin (1g;0a), Rodriguez (5g;3a) and Long (4g;1a)
2017/18 – Gabbiadini (5g;0a), Austin (7g;1a), Long (2g;1a) & Obafemi (0g;0a)
2018/19 – Ings(8g;3a), Carrillo (0g;1a), Gabbiadini (1g;0a), Austin (8g;0a), Long(5g;1a) & Obafemi (1g;1a)
2019/20 – Ings (24g;2a), Adams (4g;2a), Long (2g;2a) & Obafemi (4g;3a)
2020/21 – Ings (12:4), Adams (9g;5a), Long (0g;0a) & Obafemi (0g;0a)
2021/22 – Broja (8g;0a), Armstrong (2g;2a), Adams (8g;3a), Long (1g;0a) & Obafemi (0g;0a)
2022/23 – Armstrong (2g;1a), Adams (10g;3a), Onuachu (0g;0a) & Mara (2g;3a)
2023/24 – Stewart (0g;0a), Armstrong (24g;13a), Adams (0g;0a), Onuachu (0g;0a) & Mara (6g;2a)
2024/25 – Stewart (1g;0a), Armstrong (3g;2a), Onuachu (4g;1a), Archer (5g;0a) & Breteton-Diaz (0g;0a)
Apart from Ings in 2019/20 and Armstrong in 2023/24 we have had no players score more than 12 in a season and the above includes cup goals. In 10 years only Ings, Adams and Armstrong have got into double figures.
Our transfer spend over those 10 years = £656m

Are you still here?
As I say, Saints obsessed.
Bet you've really got Saints pyjamas and have wet dreams every night thinking what it would be like to be a Saints fan
No scurry along back to the shallow end of the gene pool |

It has to happen sooner than that. Unfortunately managers do not get that amount of time. If teams don't perform the way that fans want situations get toxic very quickly
I think Still will come good but he doesn't have two seasons to do it |

1. So you only joined our site 7 odd years ago because of Saints fans obsessed with Pompey. Do you not see the irony??
2. I think choosing a name that is only relevant for a year is stupid. You actually go on to explain the stupidity of your choice without realising it
3. Duh!!! I think that's probably the target of all 92 league clubs. You say last weekend wasn't your cup final but you're on here straight away afterwards crowing on because you took a point. Deluded |

Things we learnt from the derby game
1. 130 years is still a Saints obsessed c***
2. It takes some stupid Skate from the shallow end of the gene pool to come up with a name that needs updating every year
3. Saints goal for the season is getting promoted. Pompey's goal for the season is beating us and they've already failed with a free hit |

So what you're saying is if he really wanted a striker he would refuse to answer the question when asked by the press??? |

I agree with Grumps.
Yes we spent £50m in the window but about £39m of that was on players who made their debut on Saturday or the game before and Still had little time to work with them
I agree I'd like to have seen a striker come in and probably a couple go out but it's not always easy to get the right player
After 5 games we're 15th on equal points with Ipswich who have spent more than us and we have 4 points less that we had after 8 games in the 2023-24 promotion season.
You say the manager appears to have no idea as to how he wants the team to play let alone what his best team is. Well probably 6 of his preferred starting 11 have only just come through the door so it’s understandable.
I think Still has got to be given a chance to work with the new players. There's a big job to do after last season's debacle but I am optimistic. As you say though we are all entitled to our opinions |

He's most likely saying that because he didn't get one. He's not going to come out and criticise his new employers for not getting him a striker |

As I say, it's 5 games into a 46 game season for a new manager with a new squad.
I guarantee the bed wetters will be solidly behind Still if he goes on a winning run. Fickle fans |
