A FURIOUS young Saints fan has written a pointed letter to manager, Mauricio Pellegrino in response to Saints catastrophic start to the season.

Brooke Slatcher, 12, from Cassandra Road Abbott's Barton decided to write the letter as a result of her frustration after receiving a £295 season ticket for her birthday in August for the team to then "constantly lose" since Pellegrino took over at the start of the season.

The final straw came after Brooke sat in block 41 of the Northern stand getting soaked with her Aunt Kirsty Bell and grandmother Beverley Bell to watch Saints clash with Crystal Palace only to watch her team lose 2-1 after being ahead for most of the game thanks to a goal in the 17 minute from Brookes favourite player Shane Long.

Brooke, who currently player for the Winchester Flyers, and dreams of playing for Saints when she is older said "it was an important game and we could have been 12th but we just sat back defending. Why aren't they playing two strikers and going for the goal and attacking"

She continued" "Every game I was getting more and more frustrated, and I didn't want to be rude so I decided it would be best to write them a letter."

Brookes Mother, Sophie Bell who posted Brookes letter on social media site twitter said:" Brooke has supported saints since she was very young and always wanted a season ticket. But she's been disappointed with how they are playing, its as if they are not putting the effort in.

"As parents we save our money hard to give our children the opportunity to see these games and nothing is given back."

When asked what advice she would give Pelligrino to turn things around Brooke said:" He needs to motivate the players to get them to play well. They should be proud to put on a Saints shirt."

Despite feeling disappointed about the season so far Brooke is still hopeful that Saints can make the changes needed to turn the season around. When asked about recently reported rumours of Theo Wilcott returning to St Marys the young striker simply said. "Bring him back"
