Southampton 1 v 2 Millwall FA Premier League Saturday, 24th February 2024 Kick-off 15:00 |
Jellybaby added 17:18 - Feb 24 Sadly Gav is no where near good enough, Yet another soft goal was the turning point. Even more disappointing was the damp squib of a second half, where substitutions made us weaker. It does feel like the wheels have come off. Without Flynn Downes we are looking pretty average. 3 defeats in 4 have ended automatic hopes for me and on this form we could lose play off place!

Teams seemed to have sussed how to play us and we don't seem able to change how we play. Losing Fraser was unlucky but the other subs seemed to make no real impression and taking Aribo off actually made us weaker. Today we squandered a golden opportunity to get back in the pack. COYR Avior added 18:46 - Feb 24 Really poor. Got bullied out of it. The lack of pace in our build up play was shocking and very poor movement off the ball. We ended up with Jack Stephens as our playmaker, less than ideal. Ref was shocking but made little difference. I have beeen a big supporter of RM but he got it badly wrong today. The defence were clueless as to what system they were playing and who was playing where. At home just play Manning or Bree and keep it settled. Once he realised they were playing nobody upfront, particularly when Obafemi went off at HT, he needed to get one of the CBs off and an additional wide player on. We are playoffs bound. StRipper added 19:39 - Feb 24 Since we have introduced WiFi in the ground it's given me a headache and shit results. Can we turn that crap off now please? Agree that the subs seemed to bring little benefit. But then am still grateful for the incredible run we've been on. Certainly no need to push the panic button but maybe let's give players minutes based on performances vs amount of experience NewburySaint added 19:51 - Feb 24 Bawdrip added 21:06 - Feb 24 Oh dear that was poor. Bazunu just had to punch that cross away. A really poor error. He was far too timid. Terrible time to concede the penalty. Bednarek said it hit his face but from the brief highlight I saw on my phone it looked a penalty. The second half was the biggest disappointment. Too slow and predictable. 81% possession but created very little and never really looked like saving it. Losing Fraser was a big blow. Edozie saw a lot of the ball but flattered to receive with crossing not good enough. I'm afraid it looks odds on the lottery of the play offs though we need to pick up results to guarantee a play off place. The super computer (before today's result) fed in all the prediction stats and has us finishing 7th. We need to sort ourselves out. We are really not ready for the Premiership but if we miss out this season we will lose much of our squad I fear. Bawdrip added 21:08 - Feb 24 Should have been a second yellow for the Millwall player for an awful tackle but ref completely bottled it. I thought the ref was very poor. 5 mins injury time after loads of subs, a number of injuries and blatant time wasting was a joke.
