After 3 games in Positives & Negatives? overall expectation?

Sat Aug 31, 2013 6:19 pm

After 3 games in We have looked very good at home- we have had to work extremely hard to be competitive which we can possibly do for a whole season - that does leave me wondering how will we manage when we have a bad performance, injury's or a tired squad.


3 Negatives -

1. Goals I dont think we have enough free flowing creativity going on to be prolific and alot of top half sides are going to be more likely to score than not score both home and away.
which means even if we defend well we could be more prone to drawing than winning home games
2. Away form, based on this and last season Im not going to expect a huge change depending on who comes in now and how they do... this is more than likely going to be relagation form away from home
3. Depth of squad - I dont think we have enough premiership players to deal with missfortunate circumstances such as injuries, bad performances and suspensions - this is a danger.

3. positives -
1.we have a strong battling mentality and the players and manager believe in this squad
2. we still have players coming in and also a january window
3. We have picked up some tough points and that gives us a 3 point gap on our low rivals who may end up losing/drawing to man city. So if we can go on from here on respectable form - these 2-3 points could prove crucial come may.

Overall im confident we can avoid the drop pull off more surprise and maybe even fix the goal scoring

the positive for me is last season southampton took 10 games to get to 4 points and eventually settled and stayed up. i think we are adapting quite quickly and we did not seem to tire so quickly this week
