| News Comment | Saints 2021/22 Fixtures - The Toughest Start Possible Historically at 12:39:42
People seem to have forgotten the early part of last season and the heady day or two of topping the league. The fact is the squad lacks depth. Neither keeper is great though Forster is better than McCarthy. The latter plus Djnepo, Obafemi, Smallbone and Redmond lack consistent quality and should be shifted. We need a quality goalkeeper, a left back or maybe two, a creative midfielder and another striker. Personally I would let Ings go for big money - too injury prone and starting to look a bit slow. We can see what is needed but can the club find the money? |

Agree with a lot of this. Time to offload McCarthy who can’t kick to save his life, Redmond, Djnepo and Stephens. Not so sure about Vestergaard and Bednarek who served us well in early part of the season. |

I can see both sides of this argument. In truth Everton were not all that great and we still lost. Bednarek is not a right back and we need KWP ASAP - the lack of cover is a real concern. Redmond is a Jekyll and Hyde player who can provide a great through ball one minute and give it away the next. Tella looks a better proposition and needs to be given a run. Armstrong did well in the Romeu role though Diallo’s return will let him return to his usual, more attacking role. Ings looks a pale shadow of the player earlier in the season and seems to have lost his mojo. Djnepo seems to be improving and his work rate is better. We need to keep a sense of perspective. Yes it has been a rubbish 2021 but 2 or 3 wins in remaining games will see off relegation worries. The most important thing is that we strengthen the squad in the Summer to give RH more options. There is no way that we could have managed European qualification with the present squad being so thin. At full strength we are a force to be reckoned with, but it needs to be strength in depth. |
