Lets keep it real, people.

Time for a reality check people!

1.Is this the same board that people complained about 451 away from home?

The last 2 matches have been 442 (or perhaps 4411) and we have lost from winning positions. We can't have it all ways.

People seem to forget that our excellent away form last year was built on 451.

2.We can't get any more players in before January, so lets just trust Malky to do his best with what we've got. VT has promised us the finances to strengthen then, so lets look forward to that.

3.We are a third of the way through the season and 1 point off automatic promotion - lots of other teams want to do the same, No-one is going to give it to us.

4. Marshall had a serious off night last night on Tuesday - all keepers do this occasionally. He (hopefully) isn't going to do that very often.

5. 3 of our away losses have come from potential top 6 sides - only Tuesday's game and the Bristol city game have been bad performances (and that was before the new team had bedded in properly). 2 bad performances in 15 games is pretty good, in my opinion.

6. We have good players due back from injury at some point - it'll be like having a new team when they do.

7. Last season, Southampton won their first 10 league games - why can't we?

Come on people - let's be positive!

My god. Another sensible positive post. 2 home games to look forward to. Let's get behind the boys.
