| News Comment | Jack Stephens Deserves Saints Fans Respect At This Time at 12:09:55
The only person responsible for Jack's suspension is Jack himself Referees have become lenient with foul language but when it becomes personal they take action His language has always been iffy anyway so he has now got his dues RM should use this behaviour to strip him of the captaincy in favour of Flynn |

My anger and frustration is not aimed at RM but at the referee and the players We all the stuffing knocked out of them by that first goal It's ok to allow a quick free kick but it must be taken from the place where the foul occurred That one certainly wasn't Either Oliver or VAR should have corrected a "clear and obvious error" How a team of full time highly paid players can let their heads drop after a minor set back is amazing to me How would they cope with life in the real world? As for team selection I didn't like it much but isn't it done by committee and players are also consulted? I thought strictly come dancing was the worst thing on tv until last night caused by gutless chicken hearted players |

Anyone who has watched the Everton and Ipswich games will know that our possession game has been watered down This is backed up by the stats SR are known to put a lot of emphasis on those stats That's why we ended up with Nathan Jones As he told us he was one of the best in Europe according to the stats KWP has to return purely because he is quicker than Taylor and with them relying on breakaways his pace will be vital Their back four has an average age of 21 so I think BBD should play as a number 9 to rough them up a bit As they say no easy games in the PL I look forward to hearing the luck ones who have tickets COYS |
| News Comment | Graham Potter Lined Up For Southampton Job at 13:59:21
Over my many years as a Saints supporter I have heard ( and since social media) read some real rubbish This story and some of the comments on here go to the top of the list for pure drivel If you do some research you will find that givemesport.com are quoting from a story published by an on line magazine called football Insider Their journalist has published his thoughts about what could happen as fact It is very weak journalism I could make up a story quoting an unnamed source that Potter has decided never to return to football management but is set to become a tv pundit starting with a game on the south coast because that's where he lives I am even more surprised at you Nick for repeating this drivel |
| News Comment | Big Big Game For Russell Martin At Bournemouth at 17:05:52
The stats would suggest that he has implemented a lesser possession based style Against Ipswich we saw Rambo at least attempting to ass the ball to players on or near the half way line Not always successful but it made us less predictable The number of good chances increased as did the accuracy of our passes Talk of sacking RM and disbanding the board are premature and we'll OTT |

Had a chuckle at the above Thank you Being a bit more serious now This is a chance to give the fringe players another run out After this round it gets serious Who knows can RM follow Puel? |

The Morsy shot was bound for row R in the chapel end if it hadn't got the deflection Overall a much better performance Will Archer be a ketchup striker At least he's getting into the right positions Less playing out but Rambo needs to improve his distribution Too many under hit passes when he tried to get the ball to a player near the halfway line. I enjoyed this game and I can see improvements in what we are trying to do I am always the optimist and this performance went someway to justifying that The club should publicly deny reports of RM being sacked It all seems to stem from one on line rag. Football Insider Is it run by a skate? |

| News Comment | Southampton Already Have Their Target To Replace Russell Martin at 11:06:35
Our board members who used to be at Brentford are statistics mad Our stats ie possession XG goals etc are good so I don't see them sacking RM for a while yet Someone needs to look at our defensive set piece coach To many goals conceded from cornerst |

It's BBD or Archer I agree that the Red Wall Northam hasn't really happened Tomorrow would be a great time for it to come alive I am not fan of 3 CB's s I would go 4 3 3 Sugar THB JB Taylor Downes Fernandez Ugochukwi BBD as a conventional centr forward with Dibling and Frazer as his wingers On the Bench KWP Lala Stewart Sam Amo Armstrong Archer ABK Aribo |
| News Comment | Southampton At Everton The Carabao Cup Verdict at 15:19:46
Not much of a watch but a win is a win It wasn't so much being robbed of the ball by Everton pressing but more badly placed passes. AIt needs to be a bit quicker and a bit more direct h Ipswich did us twice last season so on Saturday we will see if any lessons have been learnt |
| 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 |
| News Comment | Southampton V Manchester United The Verdict at 13:50:33
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 |
| News Comment | Southampton Look To End 21 Year Old Hoodoo Against Manchester United at 11:45:36
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 |
