I suspect having young and inexperienced players at this level, they could handled their emotions and went in to Downer mode. Better wise up quick, as you should be able to muster a come back. I have not seen any.teams so far that are weaker than us. 30 minutes a game is not going to cut it. Here comes the down arrows, I think Martin deserves a full season and can't believe people's lake of support...other than Stephens! |

Leicester showed us how to play exciting football with a purpose. Always looking to get the ball forward as quickly as possible, whilst we just plod up the field like a clapped-out donkey! Leicester showed what is expected of teams in the Prem, and we are a long way from that. |

Time and Time again we rest on our lead and fail to push for a 3rd to put these games to bed. RM seems to be inexperienced with in-game analysis, to see where the opponent's threats are coming from and makes substitutions for the sake of it, rather than with a clear strategy. Like you said Nick, we also take goal kicks far too fast, given that we never get the ball upfield very quickly. If we are not using it to our advantage, then we should slow it down for the opposition to trek back to their half, thus reducing any pressure on our backline tippy-tappy game. Our goals also seem to be very scrappy lately, and we appear to have lost our style and swagger. Still, a lucky win and hopefully have got their mojo back for the Final Push. |

Not sure what the complaints are about. I saw a Team giving their all right up to the final whistle, in what was a tough away game, against a forceful and successful counter-attacking team. I cannot remember the last time we played with that much passion, and the improvements are there for all to see. COYR. |

We haven't been able to break down teams for the last 4 years, and I can't see that changing. The game turned when Alcaraz came on. 1st touch lost the ball and was forced to chase back. These mistakes then continued til the end. I think his over-enthusiasm after signing a new contract made his head wobble. Having said that, we know that this was RM fault for so many unnecessary subs. |

"it is harsh to blame either KWP or Manning" Are you insane? Most of the goals against come from Manning & KWP going on a holiday all over the pitch, except where they should be, back defending their area...and let us not forget that nobody appears to be man-marking. |
| News Comment | West Ham United Agree Deal With Southampton at 12:34:47
I'm sure he will be gutted to leave Saints. He would have be an embassador for many years. Still, hope he goes on to get the free kick record now, and wish him all the best. |
| News Comment | Southampton At Arsenal The Verdict at 14:11:54
Alcaraz was on yellow, but it was a clever move to go to a back 5. Arsenal would have not anticipated or planned for this at halftime. If we had won, then this would have been classed as a Selle's Masterstroke. |
