![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Southampton v Norwich City Your Report added at 11:34:44 Aside from the result, the referee made frequent use of his whistle and the start to a new autograph book. 12 bookings in a game that might have been halved by a sensible referee who used more common sense. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Newport County v Southampton Your Report added at 08:45:38 YES we know - only a League 2 club, but the performance was good to the extent we were still pressing into added time (at 7-0), and a great show from a totally revived Mo Elyounoussi who deserved his hat-trick. Not only a great scoreline, but half of the start side aren't even regular starters at the moment., and even without Adams, (the two) Armstrongs, Romeu and Djenepo these lads did us proud. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Liverpool v Southampton Your Report added at 12:32:51 Most of us seem to agree on Walcott's sub-standard performance, but he is the fittest 33 year old in the Prem. and is constantly being played out of his natural (strike) role. His goal-scoring stats. for club and country still put quite a few others to shame, but unless he gets into goal-scoring positions he won't be able to contribute as when getting possession in midfield he still has to run 30 yards to get to the penalty box and is too often muscled off the ball by tougher defenders. At a time when Ralph is quoting max. £10 million for new signings, being on a free, his cost would be £ 0 million and a 2 year contract would be about the limit when you consider we still have Shane Long on the books at age 35. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Southampton v Brighton and Hove Albion Your Report added at 18:52:15 Difficult to say anything positive, and as far as the player ratings go ..how do the rate the worst of the worst? Perhaps the only positive was having KWP back..at least he looked a site better than the previous options. Ché Adams three goals in three.. OK that's something to cheer after such a long goal drought, but that early season double act of " Ings and Adams" seems like a VERY distant memory. A semi-final place from beating Bournemouth ?.....now seems a lot more problematic. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Southampton v Manchester City Your Report added at 09:18:54 1) excellent performance against a billion-rated City side, who struggled under pressure from us at times. top rated showings from Vestergaard and Walcott , but Ings certainly not fully fit ,and Redmond a long way off his best. 2) Referee Dean has never given us the time of day. His repeated ignorance of fouls by English internationals is renowned, and another ref. might easily has given 1 or even 2 penalties on the day. We had two bookings that were scarcely " dangerous" , and yet City might have had at least one red card ... 3) a defeat - YES - but very proud of the team performance. Tella and N'Lundulu will look better against some weaker teams in the league. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Burnley v Southampton Your Report added at 16:17:07 ....was probably one of Vestergaard's best performances , and he looked safe alongside Bednarek who also showed up well. A rather poor football match against Burney's second XI , but we worth the win and a second goal would have looked more convincing after breaking a 40 year long hoodoo of failures at Turf Moor. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Oldham Athletic v Salford City Your Report added at 09:12:11 Best game of the season ? An away win against the second -best team in the best League in the World ? Especially good after the memory of the October massacre, that will remain in the record books this was just another away win. Why can't we play like this at St.Marys.? YES Ralph- VAR does make it fair - even if it did cost us a legitimate penalty. Without VAR we'd have lost that match, and in "Leicester's 2-2 equaliser" incident they had two players in offside positions and the assistant was in line with them - but didn't flag at all. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Oldham Athletic v Salford City Your Report added at 11:30:55 IMPORTANT NOTE to Ralph Hasenhuttl...when we attack we CAN score goals ...and even gain valuable points. When we defend we can't score goals and it only ends in tears. Hopeful advice for the rest of the season. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Oldham Athletic v Salford City Your Report added at 10:39:14 Totally exploited by a team that didn't mind getting their heads wet, and further highlighting the unsolved problems from last season. Ineffective defence, weak/ lightweight MF with no "muscle or bite " , and too many players being forced into formations that don't suit (whatever is)... their best position. It's pointless to push JWP to wingback at every sub. change, he is not a defender and Redmond is only a shadow of his showing last season terrorising defences and scoring goals. Danny Ings is a lone striker. Many fans can recite team line-ups from memorable games (even from decades ago), but those who played in last night's debacle will bear the shame of being mentioned in the same breath as.... the 0-9 game. Sad is too mild a word to describe feelings today. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Oldham Athletic v Salford City Your Report added at 21:19:44 Some good saves from Angus Gunn....Cedric turning in a shift again despite obvious shortcomings... Bednarek and Vestergaard beginning to look like the best CB and one year on Vestergaard seems to have finally " come of age " -a very good performance. Danso looked good before his red card, but like Djenepo he has to adapt to the pace of the Prem. and stop diving. Is Romeu really getting better ? ..he seems to be everywhere and is still our midfield hard man. Hjobjerg looks a little out of place at the back but still does a captain's job all over the pitch. Prowsie still hasn't found the form he had in the Spring, but puts himself about and shows creativity. Boufal already showing up as a most-improved player and made an excellent sub.for Redmond. It just needs Adams to get his first goal and Ings to remember how to smile and start finding the net again. A good result YES. Man Utd always complain about their absentees, and inconsistancy but with their resources they really ought to have done better in the last quarter against our 10 tired men. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Oldham Athletic v Salford City Your Report added at 15:52:05 Took the game to Wolves after their initial 10 minute charge , we looked good (at times) but it didn't get a result as happened in Palace game. MH has still not found the right combination for the backline...but the strikers are the same bunch (on or off the bench) but none of them scored - yet again. we must move on. NEXT PLEASE...Oh No that's Chelsea! |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Oldham Athletic v Salford City Your Report added at 08:57:07 A very disappointing start, but Saints hel don and moved up a gear after the first 20 minutes. All the goals were excellent in their own way. Lemina looked like a class act(at last). Jack Stephens must be the cheapest CB we've ever bought, and his two loan seasons away really have benefited him greatly. Prowsie doing what he does best , and can it be he's actually found a role in the team - at last? An excellent performance - and at the right time. Can't say that West Brom. were a bad side, they looked good at times but (as we know ourselves) when things aren't going well - everything seems to be against you. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Oldham Athletic v Salford City Your Report added at 14:59:05 Although we didn't score the goal, but were well worth the point, and with better luck (where have I heard that before?)..might have had all 3. Bertrand, JWP and Hjobjerg all quite outstanding, as were Cedric and Tadic (for once). Cb's Stephens and Hoedt held Spurs front line to only one goal, and that was an improvement on Boxing Day. Encouraging, but the next 2-3 games will be vital to a rise in the table..wait and see. Hope for a continuation of this new-found formation v. Watford , as a good Cup-run would be some sort of compensation for an otherwise disppointing seasons start. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Oldham Athletic v Salford City Your Report added at 15:39:15 If justice was seen to be be done..we had the game won 2-1 after 90 minutes. If justice was seen to be done, then the goal shouldn't have stood and the player involved should be suspended. IF we fail to survive at the end of the season , we can all look back at this game as recall it. IF one good thing came out of the whole fiasco, it is that 5 years after his Prem. debut, JWP has finally found a role he can function in . As a player who can make a good pass and shoot on sight. he deserves a real chance in that position, whilst Shane Long " deserves " a goal a game - just for sheer effort. |
![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | Your Report | Oldham Athletic v Salford City Your Report added at 21:25:59 it seems that the line-ups we play away are almost more positive than those at home. We didn't play badly at Man City, or Chelsea and the latest performance was certainly well worth the Point. Tbf ..McCarthy didn't have a lot to do, but what he did do ..he did well. Good performances from Stepehens and Mc Queen and best viewing of JWP for a while (three Academy graduates , eh ?) MOM def. Hojbjerg ..who really looks the part and Hoedt is finding his feet, too. Don't know what changes MP will make for Tuesdsay, but we need someone else up front to help Long, who still runs his heart out - (when is he going to score ?) |
