15 points from the last 14 games. Since the end of January, Saints have been dire - a bottom six club,

Make no mistake, next season is going to be a struggle. The play is predictable and slow and utterly uninspired. Took teams half a season, but they've all worked Koeman out now.

Harry Reed did all right today. At least someone put in a shift. The rest were varying degrees of disgraceful. I'd happily drive Pelle back to Feyenoord myself. Total waste of space - one goal away from home all season, in August.

1 point from the last 18 away from home. It'll be 1 from 21 come the end of the season.

You know what qwertyell. How about you go support Arsenal or City or something. Then you'd be sure to see a lot of goals.

I know you've been trying to be that cynical bloke who sets unbelievably high standards and then complains that we don't make those standards.

The truth is there's a fine line between being a demanding supporter, and not being supportive at all.

All this negativity is not helping anyone.

Negativity yes, but also reality, we are one-dimensional and predictable and as other posters' mentioned 'average' at best. I think it is inevitable that saints fans are going to get a little frustrated due to the start we had in the season, and conversely the end of the season has been pathetic at best

I didn't realise it was setting unbelievably high standards to expect to be somewhat competitive against Leicester, Sunderland, Stoke, WBA and some of the other garbage at the bottom of the table.

How much did Koeman spend putting together this squad? £65 million or so?

It's undeniable that their form since January has been shocking - a seriously worrying trend with implications for the summer ahead and into next season.

I don't see pointing that out as anything other than stark realism. Glass-half-full-ism, perhaps. But things have played out in accordance with many of the concerns I've raised on here for a long time. I would have preferred to have been proven wrong.

Glass half empty, I meant. Minor detail.

Thanks gwertyell for printing the stats, after the performances of late I was wondering how many points we had collected since the turn of the year. I am trying to stay possitive thou. I agree it is worrying, we had a fantastic start if this is reversed next season and with the addition of euro football I think we may struggle.
