Diblings run down the right early on lifted the team and the whole stadium The atmosphere then carried the players to the best spell of football we have seen from them this season We controlled the game and made utd look less than ordinary All our effort resulted in a penalty award because they just couldn't get the measure of Dibling
The penalty miss and their quick response deflated the stadium and the team and from there on there was only going to be one winner
I have yet to see a relpay of the first goal but from my seat it looked as if Rambo could have come for the cross and at least punched it clear
The tackle by JS was a definite red I still think the club should appeal it and possibly get the ban extended to 6 games |

RM is adament that we will not change the style of play from last season but he has changed it by going to a back 3 or 5 Let's return to 4 3 3 as we did at Cardiff I thought the Wednesday game was supposed to give him an idea of who was ready to start out of the newbies So why didn't he start Archer Ramirez and Dibling,
Stevens needs to be a club captain and not a team captain I don't think Bednarek and THB trust him and he was involved in 2 of the give aways |

At least it means we will keep KWP because no one would want him or any of our players on that performance
We thought a few of our squad were PL quality but Forrest showed us they and the RM formation are a mile away at the moment
RM was adament that the playing style wouldn't change but it has His insistence on keeping Stevens in the team has led to a total change in formation Please go back to a
4 3 3 line up The extra man gained in m/f isn't worth it if it's JS
NF were quicker,stronger and more skillful than us all over the pitch and the only surprise was that they only scord one |

No one needs to tell AM that his goof cost us at least a point 30000 fans have seen it for a long time
That aside our performance overall was pretty good It was them hanging on not us It's the age old problem of putting your chances away. |

Can't give any Saints player less than a ten Not just for this game but for the whole season they and the backroom guys have given us
RM said he would give us a team to be proud of TICK
RM Sainsbury's there was only one aim ie to get back to the PL TICK
I intend to enjoy the moment and worry about the future next month |

I could never work out what formation we were playing Was it a back 3 or4 or5 and at times I don't think the players knew either Gnoto got around the back of JS with ease who may have been better playing as a traditional left back without having the freedom to roam
Downes once again showed how important he is to the team and to the possession game and KWP was a star once again
Not many clear cut chances but two got taken after good build up play
That's a double over Leeds a double over WBA and unbeaten by Norwich certainly looking at the stats we have a good chance of winning the play offs

McCarthy made some important saves yesterday and for a change was NOT beaten at his near post Unfortunately the defence in front of him has got used to having Bazunu as an extra defender playing the sweeper/keeper game.Mac is not comfortable playing that role and can make his centre backs nervous
Our second choice mid field failed to step up and we're over run If this had ended 0-0 we would probably have called it atypical end of season game with nothing to play for me
Hopefully RM and his team will be able to get us back on track with a whole week's training in front of them
I do suspect that Sports Republic will replace RM if we are not promoted Personally I think that would be a massive mistake as the experience they have gained this year will be invaluable next season if we are still a championship team |

Missied chances last season cost us our PL place Missed chances this season looks like costing us an automatic promotion It could also cost us a play off promotion
How many matches have there been when we only play one half Sometimes the first sometimes the second I do wonder if the coaching team give them too much information at half time which leaves them confused |

Jack Stevens MotM????
This was a game where choosing anyone was almost impossible Not on Saints player excelled They looked leggy and almost dissinterested
Despite that they managed to create 4 good chances Che one on one with the keeper again and again he fails to score He must have a mental block now He should have been replaced at half time and possibly replaced by Aribo who has the knack of scoring when it's bobbing about in the 6 yard box
Sulemana in my book is a very quick talented player who used to beat defenders with his pace Now he seldom trys to take anyone on Is natural talent being coached out of him?
This result probably makes the play offs the more likely route back to the prem |

The classic game of two halves. In the first they played us like a fiddle Their press worked ours didn't Their passing was quick and accurate ours was slow and inaccurate
Then came the substitutions. In recent seasons we have been critical of substitutions made Today however everyone of them worked Brilliant management
If Haaland had scored that first goal TV channels around the globe would be replaying it 50 times a day
22+3 still unbeaten
Playing football the Southampton way |

I hope Luke Williams can get Swansea playing like they did the last half hour today They have got Leeds, Ipswich and Liecester coming up so could do us a massive favour or three |

The first half was sublime much like the game against SW last week. The second half less so especially after Stevens came on I just fail to see the attraction that RM does.
Stu Armstrong didn't reach his own high standard today but even a bit below par he still manages to be involved in so many good moves
The standard of the assistant refs was pretty poor Our second and their goal should have been ruled off side Trouble is those gaffs encourage those who want VAR Let the fans decide on its introduction and I can almost guarantee it would be scraped Refs and players reaching retirement see it as jobs for the boys |

Some weary performances in this one Energy levels need to be topped up pretty quick Our squad depth is now coming to the fore andRM is managing it well.
Another win to savour especially when added to the Leeds and Ipswich results |

The back four looked much better with Bree and KWP that way around
Downes is so influential I hope we can turn his loan into a transfer in January
Stu was back to his best and Aribo is turning into a keeper He won so many tacles today
Please find us another goal scorer who can stick away the multitude of chances
I don't think anyone can fault that today It was a top class dominant performance by the whole team including the subs We can look forward to seeing more performances like this as they get even more accustomed to Rusty all |

We created more chances last night They were not clear cut chances but they were better than half chances AA could and perhaps should have had a hat trick
Manning really isn't a quality defender. Once again his error led to their goal. If we had a fit alternative natural LB the perhaps he would be replaced It says something when a RB plays better than him in the wrong position
Kammy should be replaced by either Fraser or Edozie we missed the width that he gives
I don't get those that criticize the style of play Don't just ball watch but look for the movement of players It is quite intricate at times Some will point to LCFC with envy but their style of play is exactly the same Unfortunately they have better finishers than us
I am not a gambler but I am tempted to have a punt on promotion via the play offs If you think I would be throwing money down the drain the offer me odds |

Cardiff never looked like a team who until recently were in the top 6 They allowed us to knock it about at will Would have been a great day if one of the top 3 had dropped points
We saw a bit of quality off the bench as well In particular Aribo must be close to getting a start
Keep playing like this and we will do a Sunderland to somebody |

Does RM give them to much information at half time? They just appear to be thinking of other things for the first 15 minutes of every second half
An away point is always welcome but it is an opportunity missed
On the plus side we are a point nearer Ipswich |

WBA presented us with the toughest challenge in this run of undefeated games and after AA put us ahead we had to dig in and grind out the result
THB was my MotM A couple of times he jumped head and shoulders higher than anyone else and never got phased by the pressure
It was a game were so many put in top performances
Don't you just hate the timing of the international breaks |

We're we 'lucky" again. Adam Armstrong had the left the field of play without the ref permission the way he came back on and played the ball that would otherwise have gone out for a corner could have been classed as ungentlemanly conduct
This is exactly the sort of run we need to start hauling in Ipswich and LCFC
I am very impressed with the players support and liking of RM's game plans and style They all seem to buy into it |

Anyone watching championship football would be proud of that first half performance As near to total dominance as you will get I imagine Rooney gave them a right rollicking at half time and it showed They were quicker and stronger for the first 20 minutes of the second half and we're bouyed up by the goal
We weathered the storm and regained control and the third goal made it a comfortable finish
Overall pleased with the way we appear to be forming partnerships all over the pitch and getting to grips with the possession game which still needs to be operated with a bit more speed
