Still's appointment is 'innovative'
I've just spoken to some Southampton fans who are already in the ground and have heard the confirmation that Will Still will be their new words came up in conversation a few times, "innovative" and "patience".Their overall happiness at the appointment comes from the feeling he has been innovative in his previous management role in France, and his tactical thinking and player acquisition skills could be a good some of those I spoke to are urging fellow Saints fans to be patient with him, and give him the time to rebuild and get the club back to the Premier fan said he'd be happy with a consolidation season in the Championship before going may be a minority view. But, there is a desire for him to have time and not to panic if they're not chasing for promotion from the start of next season.

Saints 'can pull off the great escape' or 'playing for their future in the Championship'?
We asked for your views on St Johnstone's 2-1 win against Ross County. Here's what some of you said: Ellie: One of the most stressful matches I have sat through as a Saints fan (especially the VAR check, one of a slim amount to go our way this season) but a well deserved win - Elliot Watt and Josh McPake were outstanding. Let's hope we can take this form through to the end of the season as our job is far from done. Jimmy: We had numerous chances to score, reason being we didn't. Could be 'match rustiness'? The chance County had, they took well and deserved it. We didn't let our heads down, we knew what we had to do. We did get lucky with the disallowed County goal. Defence frailties are still there, but I still have faith in the players we have. Hopefully, we can get a defender that's fit enough for the run in. Robin: It's always the hope that gets you! A good performance, but without someone taking these clear chances it is just prolonging the life support. It is not nice wanting Dundee to win a game, as we now need them to on Wednesday, but it's better that than being without hope. Linsey: Much better, but cant help feeling it's come too late, finally saw a bit of wing work by McPake which we are badly needing as a team. We need to actually start using all of the pitch and open up our game at home. All the players played for the badge for once, they can pull off the great escape and leave everyone else in this league scratching their heads and saying 'how on earth did those jammy farmers from Perth manage that one?' Dunc: Saints were up for the battle, but they were all mostly playing for their futures in the Championship. Not sure who should be retained, or want to go. We are gone, but if we recruit well we might not be down too long. That could though, be wishful thinking!
