For a little while I thought he was one of the very best centre halves in the country. Sadly it was preceded by a period where he was just too big and slow and followed by a period where he was injured and looked incapable of regaining his confidence. His time at Leicester shortly after his transfer from us (which I thought suited us rather than them) was destroyed by Brenda. It seems Maresca rebuilt his confidence "albeit in the little league" and the Denmark coach has the same talent. I wish him well directly after our match on Saturday. |

I find it a little strange someone who uses a translation of the "The Joy of Life" as their Avatar name would advocate David Moyes, who is clearly not Joy personified. That said absolutely a step up from RM. |

The thing SA, RM and most of the Players have in common is the fear of doing something wrong which will mean losing. Whether that be playing 7 at the back and using the long ball to a bully of a centre forward, refusing to hump the ball into row ZZ but to try and play "simple" passes to a team mate who may or may not be marked, or being to scared to make that dribble or pass to create a match winning situation. Charlie Alcaras had that bravery and that got him loaned then sold... We Saints fans have always loved being the underdog and would rather lose 5-4 trying to win that 1/2/3 nil trying not to lose, IMHO. |

As I said on another report, I see very worrying similarities between Russel Martin and Nathan Jones. Both claim their "Style" has always brought success and therefore should not be questioned. Yes RM got us promoted, and we all owe him thanks for that. Sadly it would appear unless our team's talent on the ball massively improve we will be relegated using this Style in this league. I fear as the pressure and continued questioning will turn erudite Russel into frothi |

Ramsdale is not 1st choice at Arsenal because he cannot play the Sweeper/keeper role which they and Russel Martin want to play. Why would we give Alex Mcarthy a contract to persumeably be back up and then sign another, albeit better, back up keeper? |

Love the optimism, however I also think we would fail in the play offs but please god no penalties.... Anyway the Championship has been good to us Saints fans so far. Another year of winning more than losing would be nice and I fear next year in the Premier league would be very difficult for the team we support. |

He was always a nasty player on the pitch, but unlike the likes of our own Terry Hurlock or Jimmy Case, it would appear he is not a quiet gentleman off it. It would appear he has quite an intellect but no brain and an ego the size of a continent. From stubbing out cigar in the face of young colleague to beating his partner in the street and now his verbal attack against women pundits, trouble follows this male human being (I refuse to call him a man). The sooner we all forget about him the happier the world will be. |

I really don't think there is much the footballing side of SFC can do if there is any offer of more than £5m made from a Premier league team I'm sure the board would accept it. If they didn't I'm pretty certain Che Adam's desire to give all to the club would be severely weakened. Do they/we really want a disgruntled player going through the motions disrupting the the first team or training with the under 23s? the best case scenario is there is no offer or one Che has no interest in and he decides to go out with a bang and firmly put himself in the shop window. |

In fairness, I wanted us to give Martin a chance, mainly because there didn't appear to be an obvious replacement. However, the run of games before and after as well as the 4 losses stretched my patience. It was all very seat of the pants stuff with little orno control you would have thought the possession percentages would have given us. Compounded to that R.M.'s ridiculous comments about scar tissue did not help. Obvious I'm very pleased SFC board had more foresight than some on this board. |

I was a couple of years older, but at Bellemoor School with the mighty Fannie Benali. It was also a place of Education for Craig David. Horrible place to be for many, but I was quite lucky. It paid to be not too bright or stand out for any particular reason except sporting prowess. |

Having watched the stream, especially in the second half, WBA were far more positive than Saints. Always looking for a forward pass and making probing runs off the ball. We, even more so once Manning was playing at left back, managed to move the ball from the wing in a threatening position on the edge of the attacking third, back to our goal keeper in two passes. Obviously inviting the pressure back onto our defence. If you're going to gift the ball away let it be in their penalty area not ours! We also never looked as vulnerable as we do at our own corners, a very good tactical foul by Holgate saved us big yesterday. |

Great call Cockle, IMHO the overall best restaurant in Southampton for quality and price. Carnicero (on Oxford St) or sister outlet The Olive Tree (Ocean Village) worth a try. Ocean Gill (also Ocean Village) is very good but a little expensive. |

Despite Nick's appeals for time and calm the cause of the disquiet is the results and unfortunately that is the sole responsibility of the manager and the people who employed them. Like most Saints fans I don't expect ( but would like) us to win more than we lose but I cannot forgive is our continued repeat of the same basic mistakes. Russel Martin claims he has been brought in to do certain things and play a certain way. IMHO surely those things were not to let in record numbers of goals and lose as many matches as possible. |

Well at least we should maintain or full division exclusion zone from or Blue East Hants neighbours. They'll get promoted as we get a second successive relegation! |
