Return Dates Set For Injured Southampton Duo Ramsdale And Bednarek
at 14:06 22 Nov 2024

At least RM has excuse now for getting embarrassingly hammered by Liverpool.
But he'll still be very proud of his team.
What will it take for him not to be proud of his team.

Do Southampton Need To Recall Bella-Kotchap For Liverpool Clash
at 20:53 21 Nov 2024

Sometimes the attitude of a player can be down to the treatment he gets from the Manager.
Managers should not have favourites (eg. JS & Manning).
Also Martin picks his players on how they are performing in training, that's wrong.
Your match day team should be based on the players with the most ability & those most likely to win the game for you regardless of what they do in training sessions.
Some players don't enjoy training but come alive in matches.

He'll play 3 ctr backs.
Possibly utilise Taylor alongside THB & Slack Jack.(why did we waste money on Wood & Edwards, oh yeh, they're players for the future)
He'll use Sugawara and KWP as inverted full backs (whatever that means)
We don't know if Downes will be fit, but either way I expect RM to shoehorn Manning in somewhere (to be fair Manning has been half decent when played in a more forward role, but still not Premier quality).
The players might change but the dreaded system won't.

Following Man City 's Style is Fundamentally Flawed and Must stop Now

Something wrong when your centre back is is top in the stats for number of passes completed.
Even Ramsdale has more touches than our forwards who are starved of service.

Does Shea Charles Prove That Russell Martin's Player Judgement is Flawed
at 14:01 20 Nov 2024

Not sure I agree with your comment Nick.
If that was the case, Cornet + Taylor + Diaz would all be playing regularly.

It's a cert that THB will move on, even in the unlikely event of us staying up.
Players always come back from International duty with their ambitions raised.
Mixing + training + playing with other International players that are earning twice as much as your are is bound to turn the head of even the most devoted players.
Bit at least we'll sell him for a lot more than we paid for him.
That'll make a change from recently having to get rid of players for a lot less than we paid for them.

Bednarek out for 3 Weeks
at 09:18 18 Nov 2024

It could be longer out with knee ligament damage.
Possibly 5 - 6 weeks depending on the severity of the injury.
Best scenario is that nothing is torn, if its just tweaked could be back in less than 3 weeks.

Such sad news about legendary Dave Watson
at 09:12 18 Nov 2024

Before the England game started yesterday they did a feature on Dave Watson who is now suffering Dementia.
How sad to see him as he is now, I'll always remember him as a giant in the game.
At the time he was probably the best centre back in the game.
We were lucky enough to see him play for us albeit at the end of his memorable career.
Best wishes Dave & thanks for the memories.

Shea Charles captained his National side last night
at 14:12 16 Nov 2024

Sounds like a good idea.
Pierce Charles is a young goalkeeper that likes to & is confident playing out from the back.
Might be just what we need for playing in Championship under the management of Russell Martin next season.

It would appear that Shea Charles is impressing in his loan spell at Sheff Wed.
It looks inevitable that we'll recall him in January ( assuming we have that option).
What's the chances of his goalkeeping brother who's also impressing for club & country joining him at St Mary's.

I just love Pickfords attitude & enthusiasm.
He's fully committed every time he plays.
Don't understand why so many people knock him, he's by far the best we've got.

Are we really waiting
at 12:01 15 Nov 2024

Exactly.
With these ridiculous long contracts that Managers & Players are on, the incentive is to fail.
When they know they are out of their depth & not up to the job they've got, what a lovely option to have, to get sacked & relax on full pay for the rest of your contract.

For once I found our England team watchable.
I normally fall asleep when watching Englad play their slow, pedestrian (Saints like) football.
Last night it was much better, it was slick, incisive, good movement.
I normally struggle to name a player that has performed well but I thought they all did a good job last night.
Nice to see us play with two proper wingers that were prepared to take their full backs on.
Let's hope Tuchel can build on last night's performance when he eventually takes over.

We will wait until all the best Managers/ Coaches have been snapped up by more ambitious clubs.
Then SR will have an excuse for not getting a decent one & we'll end up with another cheap option from a lower lge.
Oh Happy Days.

Russell Martin has a holiday coming.
If his Hols are anything like his tactics he won't get out of his own back yard.

Ramsdale's broken finger likely to keep him out for possibly 6 weeks.
Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse.

One good reason why they won't get rid of Russell Martin
at 18:51 10 Nov 2024

Trouble is Grumps, we don't have enough decent players to keep us up.
And our owners track record of January signings does not fill me with confidence.
I really do hope that something changes very soon because we are rapidly becoming the Premier Lgs whipping boys.
