Your Southampton v Blackburn Rovers Match Reports

I_would added 17:09 - Dec 16 No Manning, no Adams = win. First time I enjoyed the match all the way through this season. If Manning plays in the next match we'll be back to tippy tappy draws again as we'll be constantly on the back foot. Problem is the manager can't be trusted to do the right thing.

codge added 17:30 - Dec 16 Glad to see Bree start much better defending,overall a decent performance and total control although Blackburn came to sit back and basically had no intention of going forward.Thought Aribo played very well and should keep his place. Nice to get a clean sheet and score four which we really needed,so overall pleased with this result keep it going COYR.

silverspringsaint added 17:46 - Dec 16 I was getting annoyed at our inability to score a hatful of goals against such poor opposition - but then we got two more in added time ..! We are better with Downes on the pitch - and when Stuey has a good game like today. Confidence is just oozing from the team - only wish they would punch to their full weight, especially at home. We like to be entertained as well as winning!

Jellybaby added 19:05 - Dec 16 Good to see Saints give someone a thrashing. James Bree much better option to Manning. Edozie looked very good today. Stu Armstrong deservedly MOM, completely dominant performance. Ryan Frazer is the proverbial super sub! We miss Flynn Downes when he's not there. Aribo looks strong in this league. Mara is maybe, just maybe a better option than Adams. We should have had a penalty in the first half, but still prefer life without VAR.

Bawdrip added 20:20 - Dec 16 Totally dominant performance. Good possession and created good chances. Deserved 4-0. Awful penalty! I thought he may try that. Looks stupid when it doesn't come off. Aribo and Downes did well. Defence was solid. Good to see Stephens back. Thought Bazunu's distribution was excellent. Good for Mara and Alcaraz to get on the score sheet. With Ipswich and Leeds dropping points a good day all round.

Bowlercow added 20:31 - Dec 16 The back four looked much better with Bree and KWP that way around Downes is so influential I hope we can turn his loan into a transfer in January Stu was back to his best and Aribo is turning into a keeper He won so many tacles today Please find us another goal scorer who can stick away the multitude of chances I don't think anyone can fault that today It was a top class dominant performance by the whole team including the subs We can look forward to seeing more performances like this as they get even more accustomed to Rusty all

sandywelsh added 20:59 - Dec 16 We played so much better today with Downes on the pitch. Pity because of a referee mistake when he booked him he is banned next game. Worst point of the game was Stephens coming on for Harwood-Bellis just hope he returns to start next game.
