| News Comment | Will Fate Once Again Force Russell Martin's Hand at 17:30:51
With any luck JS will now be banned for more games He has been charged with using foul and abusive language to the ref and fourth official when he was dismissed He knew what he had done and it was a clear red card offence His inclusion week after week is, for me,Russell Martin's biggest and mos consistent fault which hopefully will now be corrected The last time we were in the PL the three relegated teams all changed their manager Let's do it differently and keep him |

Stephens out for 3 matches THB not playing well Alternatives are ABK and the seemingly forgotten Charley Taylor who has played CB and LB I do wonder about KWP at LB but if he returns to RB Sugawara dips out That would be unfair The m/f looks pretty good with Tyler Ugchuckwu Fernandez and Downes We need a front line that includes an out and out number 9 Armstrong,Diaz,Archer, Tall Paul and Ross Stewart are all candidates As for RM I firmly believe that what he achieved last season entitles him to have this season to try and prove he is a PL coach |
| News Comment | Jan Bednarek Pens New Deal At St Mary's at 18:18:10
For a long time many have said we need an experienced CB If Jan was a new signing would he be viewed as that? I hope the last 2 years has been an eye opener for him and that he has learnt from them He lost his place in the latter months of Ralph's era because he had an obsession for youth ie Salisu and ABK |

Don't let Bednarek score We always lose when he does Let Frazer or Sam Amo run at Maguire to get a free kick or pen He must start a different team to the last 3 matches Perhaps give Ramirez 60 minutes and Dibling the last 30 Can't see Diaz starting after that much travelling so Archer and Cornet to lead the line |
| News Comment | The Knives Are Out For Russell Martin In The Media But Do They Have Substance at 12:37:17
Don't change the way we play Just play it better by using the players we have bought We assume that we bought them because they are better than what we had Those knocking RM are the same ones who were saying we would get relegated to L1 this time last year if he didn't change his style of play I would keep him even if it does mean relegation At least we would have a coach capable of getting us up again In our last PL season we had 3 managers Leeds and Leicester had 2 each so changing managers doesn't work Wise up and get behind the team and their manager |
| News Comment | The Solution Is Clear For Russell Martin If He Is To Stay In His Job at 12:32:31
Last September we lost four on the trot and the same arguments were being put them about how RM must change the system, don't play tippy happy etc He didn't change it until Baz got crocked but we got promoted Replacements for all those that played in the championship have been brought in I expect all the players bought to be better than those we had So the answer is to play those better players and see how they handle the system RM has given a fair crack to the ones who got us here so move on If he feels guilty about Jack being the captain and getting dropped then make him CLUB captain and give the armband to FD As for changing for the Leeds game and the playoffs he changed it to what we have now As I said change the players and change to a 4 3 3 |

| News Comment | Southampton At Brentford The Damning Verdict at 13:00:39
When promoted under Adkins we lost,I think the first 4 games.No need to panic yet .Russ has been very kind to last year's team and given them a chance to prove they arePL players What he must now do is start from scratch and pick a team (from quite a good squad)that is best suited to the PL Rambo Sugersea Taylor THB KWP Downed Big Les Fernandez Kornet Archer Diaz At ,60 minutes bring on TD Al a d others according to our needs |
| News Comment | Southampton At Cardiff The Carabao Cup Verdict at 13:57:18
Much the same thoughts as I had about this game Nick I think archer and Ramirez will start on Saturday probably in place of Small one and Aribo Big Les Tyler and Sam Amo to get 20 minutes for the next few games All of them looked leggy at the end Some good creative work and defense splitting passes it makes you wonder if it would have been better to keep ,Dom Ballard and develop him at home |
