Comment | Sources Say Southampton Have Made Decision About Russell Martin
at 15:43:13
Currently 4 points after 11 games, so what can we expect in the next 3 games, Liverpool, Brighton and then Chelsea?
Looking at the league tables we have scored fewer goals in the top two divisions than any other club in the Premiership and the Championship also we have the largest goal difference in both leagues.
It goals that count not possession.
RM is doing his longer best and is likeable, but frankly he is out of his depth and Saturday evenings are no longer enjoyable.
Just a suggestion, get Graham Potter in on a 6 month contract with a large bonus if we stay up.
We have nothing to lose but wait another 3 games and the players confidence will be ruined for months! |

Let's get back to basics, it's goals that win matches not just a high percentage of possession.
Has anyone looked at the league table and told RM change your style or we change you!
Football is also about entertainment but tippy , tappy sideways is not entertainment! |

Brian Clough (a great Manager) many years ago said you need three key players who form the spine of your team.
A Goalkeeper, a Centre Half, (today called a centre back) and a Centre Forward
At the moment we have none of these so frankly we are going to struggle! |

A very realistic summary.
Thank you Nick, you are doing a very good job .
In Match reports in future please just mention Yellow cards as when they mount up they are as important as injuries. |

Sorry but I don't think Russel Martin has the ability to turn thing around.
The players must have now lost their confidence and his man management treatment of Joe Lumley says it all.
Constant team changes and a tippy tappy football does not produce goals, possession means nothing.
As for the play offs, very little chance of beating any of the other teams and getting promoted.
I just fear for the future unless there is a change at the top. |

We often hear on Radio Solent that Fans leave several minutes before the Final Whistle has gone, in response to Itchen north I would suggest it is not because lack of appreciation of the players but traffic delays.
Leaving at 90 minutes before added time, a 15 minute normal journey will take about 20 minutes, leaving after the game is over with traffic delays it will often take 75 minutes! |

Yes the Referee did seem a little harsh against the Saints but no mention in your report of any Yellow Cards given out!
Regrettably we may lose more players before Christmas because of the number of Cards accumulating. |

Just to say THANK YOU for your detailed information you give on your "Rough Guides", also "Your Verdict"
In the National Press there is little coverage of Southampton games and the "Echo" never indicates Yellow Cards, could you please include this feature in you Match "Verdicts"?
Thanks. |

Comment | Southampton Fans To Petition Council For The Lawrie McMenemy Bridge
at 17:50:27
Sorry , but NOT in favour of this idea at all.
He did walk out of the Club TWICE and when we went broke I recall it was a Mr Trant of Lymington who put his hand in his pocket.
From Mr Mac I don't recall any contribution at all.
The real Heroes have been Ted Bates, Matt Le T and Francrs Benali. |

Brin Clough said many years ago , it's the spine of the team that is most important part of the team , a sound Keeper, a solid Centre Back and driving Centre Forward.

Comment | Another Weird Quote Or Two From Nathan Jones
at 19:10:40
It is essential that all the Saints Supporters get behind the team tomorrow, a win is a must.
Once the game starts forget the problems around Mr Jones, I do now wonder if he is out of his depth and with his latest comments has he got a Mental condition?
He is not able to handle the Media and as such is an embarrassment to the Club, I am sure that SR know what is going on but are most unlikely to admit they have got it wrong , time will tell.
Meanwhile please, please get behind the team once the game starts. |

We all know that we need a Striker and have done for a long long time.
Why has this not yet happened?
We all thought that on January things might change, now just 6 days left in the January window.
I am rather reminded that years ago, Len Shackleton, an England player wrote a book in which he commented on the knowledge of Football Directors running a Football Club.
The page was BLANK! |

Comment | Watt View - Fantastic win but Jones need to focus on football
at 16:27:46
I am NOT a Fan or Supporter of Man U. but I have often thought that the hardest part of being a Manager at that Club is the constant criticism by ex Man U players who have never been Managers at any level in the game but are being paid to be pundits!
Give the man a chance! |

Comment | Southampton Sack Ralph Hasenhuttl
at 15:15:53
Nathan Jones of Luton Town?
Very interesting, I believe he was Manager at Stoke City and is Welsh, no problem with that at all, similar to Mark Hughes!
To the Clubs great credit Ralph was not dismissed after the two nine nil defeats both of which were caused by players getting Red Cards early in the games.
Just think Ralph lost the plot and playing Theo Walcott yesterday did not help.
A good man we wish him well. |
