Comment | James Bree Tries To Curry Favour With Russell Martin After Blatant Gaffe
at 13:30:24
Reading this was winding me up like a clockwork mouse until I accepted that it was sarcasm at its best
I can't tell you how much I want him to turn it around but I feat it may already be too late Even I have made a list of possible successors
Carrick,Potter or if he leaves Utd Ruud van Nistleroyg |

Comment | Southampton V Stoke City The Carabao Cup Verdict
at 11:30:08
For the first time last night I didn't enjoy the game at all after the first 30 minutes
Nick a couple of points You say he didn't put out his strangest available team What he considered to be his strongest,what you considered to be his strongest and what I consider to be his strongest are almost certainly3 different things
Unless I was at a different game Stoke never took the lead
I found our play to be so slow and wondrous At one time I counted 26 passes and all we got was a corner Cornet can go back to WHU in January and at the other end of the scale Bree should get more game time
I don't agree that RM should be sacked It's pointless changing managers Us Leeds and Leicester all changed managers two seasons ago but we still got relegated If he continues to drill his methods into the squad the eventually enough of them will get it At least enough to stop us getting the record for the lowest points totalh |

Chances off us staying in the PL are slim at best so go for a day out at Wembley
Have we ever (or any other side)ever had a manager where the fans ie us are happy about or understand the in game substitutions So why can't we just accept that a full time pro with a reasonable track record knows what he is doing? |

I agree with the sentiment but would worry that the withdrawal of funds could lower the standard of our domestic game
To have stood any chance against City we would have needed a transfer budget of about half a billion quid |

Comment | Southampton V Leicester City The Verdict
at 15:56:40
When Leicester got their first goal you could feel the momentum change in their favour Had that dud referee given us a penalty for the shirt pull on Onuachu,and assuming we converted it,that momentum would have swung back in our favour. Had the rule applied to Fraser been applied to Ayew he wouldn't have been there to score the winner
Those crap decisions could end up costing RM his job and the opportunity to prove that he is capable PL coach
The injury to Sugawara should have seen Taylor replacing him with KWP switching to RB To get him off quickly RM put Fraser on because he was already to go on and was about to replace Manning Even so KWP was probably the only defender with enough pace to have kept up with their winger |

The win is vital just to instill a bit of confidence I know I am in the minority on here but I want him to stick to the possession game It's great to watch and gets me on the edge of my seat Sometimes for the wrong reason
He has to adapt his style is the normal cry So far this season we have played with a back 3 a back 4 and a back 5 We have played a mf 2 a 3 and a 4 We have played with a lone striker 2 strikers and a front 3
If that is not trying to adapt what is? These next 5 games are vital and I would love to see a settled starting elevenl

Comment | Where Will Russell Martin's Thinking Be For Leicester Game
at 15:56:48
A reliable source has told me:-
Someone close to the club has told me:-
A trusted journalist has told me:-
Choose one of the above as a prefix to this story
Man UTD will not sak Ten Hag until Saints have sacked Martin because Jason Wilcox wants to renew their bromance by taking him to Old Trafford
You don't have to be a qualified brain surgeon to know that Russell Martin's job is on the line along with three or four other PL managers but don't keep publishing your thoughts about it as if you are in the know When/if it happens they will all claim that it is as reported by them
They have as much chance of knowing as I do in my story above |

Comment | Jack Stephens Deserves Saints Fans Respect At This Time
at 12:09:55
The only person responsible for Jack's suspension is Jack himself Referees have become lenient with foul language but when it becomes personal they take action His language has always been iffy anyway so he has now got his dues RM should use this behaviour to strip him of the captaincy in favour of Flynn |

Comment | Southampton At Bournemouth The Verdict
at 13:18:44
My anger and frustration is not aimed at RM but at the referee and the players We all the stuffing knocked out of them by that first goal It's ok to allow a quick free kick but it must be taken from the place where the foul occurred That one certainly wasn't Either Oliver or VAR should have corrected a "clear and obvious error"
How a team of full time highly paid players can let their heads drop after a minor set back is amazing to me How would they cope with life in the real world?
As for team selection I didn't like it much but isn't it done by committee and players are also consulted?
I thought strictly come dancing was the worst thing on tv until last night caused by gutless chicken hearted players

Anyone who has watched the Everton and Ipswich games will know that our possession game has been watered down This is backed up by the stats
SR are known to put a lot of emphasis on those stats That's why we ended up with Nathan Jones As he told us he was one of the best in Europe according to the stats
KWP has to return purely because he is quicker than Taylor and with them relying on breakaways his pace will be vital
Their back four has an average age of 21 so I think BBD should play as a number 9 to rough them up a bit
As they say no easy games in the PL
I look forward to hearing the luck ones who have tickets

Comment | Graham Potter Lined Up For Southampton Job
at 13:59:21
Over my many years as a Saints supporter I have heard ( and since social media) read some real rubbish This story and some of the comments on here go to the top of the list for pure drivel
If you do some research you will find that givemesport.com are quoting from a story published by an on line magazine called football Insider
Their journalist has published his thoughts about what could happen as fact It is very weak journalism
I could make up a story quoting an unnamed source that Potter has decided never to return to football management but is set to become a tv pundit starting with a game on the south coast because that's where he lives
I am even more surprised at you Nick for repeating this drivel |

Comment | Big Big Game For Russell Martin At Bournemouth
at 17:05:52
The stats would suggest that he has implemented a lesser possession based style Against Ipswich we saw Rambo at least attempting to ass the ball to players on or near the half way line Not always successful but it made us less predictable
The number of good chances increased as did the accuracy of our passes Talk of sacking RM and disbanding the board are premature and we'll OTT |
