READER LETTER: Saints, enough is enough - go and get Sam Allardyce
Show/hide article…
ENOUGH is enough. Saints are going backwards – and what’s worse it’s with a very capable group of players.
You published my previous letter regarding Saints three weeks ago in which I gave Pellegrino the benefit of the doubt. I said Forster was a liability, Tadic hides and the tactics were inexplicable.
After more dismal performances (despite having a season ticket I would be less depressed by not going at all) I now dread going to home games.
This is a situation which should worry the board – I suspect I am not alone in thinking something has to give. We now face a substantial uphill climb after taking five points from 12 against lesser teams and scoring just six goals in seven games (not to mention the hideous no-scoring run we had to endure in the latter months of last season).
Les Reed and the board now need to take action. Pellegrino is clueless. His selections range from blind faith (Tadic, Forster, Redmond) through panic (Boufal, Holjberg, Hoedt, Yoshida) and finally to the bizarre (JWP on with three minutes remaining – or just maybe he noticed we had won a corner and had screwed up every other one).
Pellegrino has wasted an easy start. Now it gets harder and I have no idea where the next goal is coming from.
Conversely, however, I also feel that every time the opposition gets one on target it will go in. I never thought to hear myself say this but go and get Sam Allardyce before it’s too late. At least he will steady the ship because, make no mistake, we are heading for the bottom three, with our only hope that there will be three teams worse than us at the end of the season.
If not, Les, please can I have a refund on the grounds of failure to provide any value for money or even faulty goods?
