In the relegation zone even without the points deduction!!

It just goes to show the depth or our predicament. I don't need to say that it's imperative the negative points are wiped out as soon as possible (and 'as soon as possible' is nearly up) but the team aren't exactly helping on this front. :x

I still think we will be ok. AP will still be trying to add strength to our squad as he knows we have no cover and we still are not strong enough.

According to various websites today Pardew is now saying he knows we cannot afford to sign anyone else unless Rasiak and/or Saga go!

It's very difficult to accurately assess this early, Mike.

To put it into perspective ...

Saints hit the post and went very close at the death against Millwall

Similar story against Brentford

If ...

Saints had managed to pinch both games, we would be 8th on a level playing field.

Plus ...

Saints are improving.

Looking slightly better now....

Wouldn't it be nice to see our points in the plusside after Carlisle.

Him indoors says forget the first 6 matches and we are heading for top two. With or without deduction.
