The one 2nd Half Highlight In the normal scheme of things, when you go to Carrow Road in the Championship, you are going to one of the teams up near the top of the division who will be challenging for promotion. Norwich have always been one of the yo-yo teams before Leicester on ourselves got in on the act but they are parachute payment free now and having made a succession of bad decisions over the past couple of seasons are languishing in 23rd place, even lower than Portsmouth.

Russell Martin Will Not Be Managing Either Team Today In the normal scheme of things, when you go to Carrow Road in the Championship, you are going to one of the teams up near the top of the division who will be challenging for promotion. Norwich have always been one of the yo-yo teams before Leicester on ourselves got in on the act but they are parachute payment free now and having made a succession of bad decisions over the past couple of seasons are languishing in 23rd place, even lower than Portsmouth.

As First Halves Go, That Was Alright Leicester City under the lights at St Mary’s. What could possibly go wrong? Before Leicester fans start crowing too much about previous victories against us, they would do well to remember that they have been in the same division as us for the last four years as both clubs have gone down, up and then down again and now find themselves with expectations of competing near the top of the Championship this season.

"Which One of Us is Doing This Thing Then?" November international break is tranditionally a managers graveyard but Saints couldn't even give the Will Still project until then before pulling the trigger. Even the best intentioned 'long-term project' will hit the rocks if the results are poor and the expectations are high in the short term, especially when the fans have had enough of losing over a long period and turn on the board in a very public way in a home game.

Behold the Messiah This evening‘s game against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road has taken on new significance with Saints decision to part company with Will Still on Sunday evening. It’s funny really. He was always going to get sacked once “Sport Republic go out of our club”, rang round St Mary’s on Saturday, because Sport Republic were always going to do something as a result of being the brunt of all the criticism.

Jhonny Viafara.... he's had worse days Like this one... When I looked at the two games we had coming up this week, away trips to Sheffield United and Derby, I set a target four points and was of course expecting the Sheffield United game to be the more difficult one, despite The Blades being lower in the League table. The target has been revised though because having won at Bramall Lane, we don’t want to waste that by dropping points today.
