Sad to see Southern United struggling so badly.
Looked back over the past two seasons and their playing record in the last 23 matches shows just two wins, a draw, and 20 defeats.
I'm not sure how that compares with YoungHeart Manawatu during their worst run but it must be rivalling it closely.
In Youngheart Manawatu's last 3 seasons (42 games) they won 3 drew 4 and lost 35, Southern's last 3 seasons (including this one) they have played 41 won 7 drew 2 and lost 32
The big difference is in their ASB Premiership / NZFC time of 9 seasons Youngheart Manawatu finished 2nd twice and 3rd once.
Southern United \ Otago United have been in the premiership for all 11 seasons and the best they have done is 5th on 2 occasions, usually 2nd last has been their spot
