Could Dressing Room Bust Up Stir Passion
Rumours have emerged of a dressing room bust up after the defeat at Wolves with Mark Hughes and Wesley Hoedt having "strong words"
Feelings were running high after the late capitulation against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday and a source close to the club has suggested that Mark Hughes and Wesley Hoedt were the main participants to such a degree that they are not speaking to each other.
It is not surprising that things came to a head after yet another game that saw soft goals conceded and yet more points dropped and it will be now interesting to see whether this is a catalyst that sparks a Saints revival in the coming weeks.
Certainly something has to happen. there is a distinct lack of passion and motivation in Saints play of late and although they did not play badly at Wolves, there was a lack of a spark that we have seen in other teams this season, Saints squad on paper is better than Bournemouth's and other premier league side, so why does it not play with the tempo and enthusiasm of these sides.
The answer is there is something missing and sometimes a clear the air bust up can be a benefit rather than a hindrance, we will soon see !
