I am only worried about his ageing injury prone body. He is the sort of striker that needs game time and patience to unleash the beast inside of him. We signed Lallana and are now going for Ings,my Question for Nick is; who do you think is making these decisions. Is it RM or some office guy? |

Will Smallbone has impressed me a lot. Everytime he passes the ball forward he runs inside the box and more often than the opponent loses track of him. JWP used to do the same runs for England in the few games that the manager was brave enough to play him ahead of the fancy names. But like JWP, Smallbones teammates dont feed him enough. If smallbone improves his finishing, he would easily score 20 odd goals a season. |

I like him a lot. I miss him. Those special wins against Arsenal, and Chelsea at Stamford bridge. Setting traps all over the pitch and feeling so confident even without the ball. And how we sometimes preferred to chase the ball in the opponent’s half so we can counter and score within 10secs of winning it back. Very direct. And thrilling. I think he lost his way when he started focusing more on possession football. We just weren’t built for that. I will welcome him back anytime alongside Danny Rohl. |

Well done Saints. Just don’t do what Leeds did; smash a strong team in Ipswich and lose to a weaker opponent in the next match. Follow this smashing with another win, doesn’t have to be a smashing. Just win. Beautifully, ugly, harshly, nicely…I don’t care. Just win. Also, don’t rule out a Leicester crumbling towards the business end of the season. Remember 3 -4 seasons ago in the PL when they were second position and had a 15 point gap with the team in 4th, they bottled it up and ended up sixth? They never really recovered from that imo. There is no other way we can control how teams around us perform other than beating them when we meet. So, keep on smashing them Saints 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 |

We should be targeting promotion via a top 2 finish. I don’t think we have the grit to win promotion from the playoffs. I’m sorry Nick, but I just don’t believe we that bite in us. |

Possession football my ass!It never worked for us under Claude Puel, and Ralph Hassenhuttle did well with us until he started prioritizing possession. Why can’t we play like Burnely did last season; no nonsense brutal tactics, Or at least get a manager that can do so? Who else misses Ronald Koeman? |

Go get us The Celtic Manager, Ange Postecoglu. He is more similar to the Ronald Koeman style of play that we so desperately miss. Oh ! is Koeman with any team at the moment? We were such a perfect match. |

Where is the striker we were promised? Why didn't we go for Umar Sadiq from Almeria in Spain? Did our black box malfunction? He is the profile we usually go for... Real Sociedad got him on the deadline day for just €16m. |
