Leicester City v Southampton Your Report added at 10:31:48 I have questioned Ralph selections in the past, where he doesn’t always select his strongest team to start the game, And has been guilty of making the substitutions too late in the game to make an impact, but I have to give him credit where credit is due. His subs change the game against Leeds last week, and again this week against Leicester. Che made an instant impact , as did aribo last week, so credit to him. I felt we look solid at the back this week, where Bella kotchap looked a real find and formed a promising partnership with Salisu . Let hope this improved team performance is the start of a more promising season ahead, there seems a more determined spirit throughout the side of late that is a very encouraging sign for the future.

Southampton v Chelsea Your Report added at 20:45:20 That was a totally gutless performance, I can take being beaten by the better team no problem, but I can’t take our team not putting the effort in after the first twenty mins, these are supposed to be professional footballers, well I didn’t see much of that yesterday, it’s was headless chicken time no leadership on the pitch, and the tactics were all wrong, it was obvious to me Chelsea would come out fired up after the week they had,why Ralph believes we can match the best teams talking the game to them from the start, we may get away with on occasions like spurs and West Ham away, but when we play a more compact formation we can stay in the game longer and invariably get a draw from it, or a narrow win against the top sides .Yesterday we were totally overrun in midfield, and exposed down the wings, leaving large gaps in the middle of the park. It’s was obvious from early on that changes had to be made, but Ralph failed to do so, Ely, should have come off for Diallo ,and valery or Perrault on for the unfortunate Adam Armstrong at 3.0 down, pushing s Armstrong into a more forward role, at least we could have made a game of it, without the total surrender it become. Sorry Ralph you were very poor tactical yesterday and not for the first time . Players have be dropped for-this dreadful display .lets have players in who want to play for the badge.

Aston Villa v Southampton Your Report added at 18:13:48 Bad day at the office, very slow out of the blocks, caught cold with the early goals, with the back four very slow and pedestrian to pick up their markers which made it easy for coutinho to pick us off. He was class, and ran the show . Fraser kept the score line respectable or it could have been embarrassing ,The run had to come to end sometime, and we been on a fabulous run so let’s re group for Newcastle go again. We still have a lot to play for, They are entitled to an off day sometimes.
Penalty save number 2 clearly shows a save whilst he is keeper, hand definitely gets there. ElijahK I suggest you watch the footage, definitely does not “ski over†as you are suggesting.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Southampton Your Report added at 19:43:04 Very unlucky today, debatable pen, Fraser was at fault for second, but was lynaco playing them on side, and their third was a breakaway goal when we were caught upfield , but it’s was one of those days when the decisions went the other way. Fantastic goal from JWP shame it didn’t count for much. But on the question of Fraser Forster he makes a mistake Which cost us a goal, and people are on his back. to say he can’t save penalties well short memories hey didn’t he save in the penalty shootout at Sheffield, again at Chelsea, kept us in the cup at Swansea with a great save before extra time, and two point blank saves against Brentford .i cannot remember McCarthy saving a pen in a longtime, and he has faults also Notably his near post v Norwich .we need a new keeper no question of that ,because this is Forster last season with us, but McCarthy is only good enough as a back up keeper. Henderson or Johnstone would be a good choice.

Everton v Southampton Your Report added at 19:32:28 Strange line up, why was walker peters,Forster, s Armstrong bednarek, missing from today line up. Ralph makes his own problems. For god sake play your strongest team when they are all available, was he still thinking this was a pre season line up , while the Quality was sitting on the bench. We will be in trouble if he keeps tinkering with the team. Please please please use the vestergaard money on a no nonsense CB , one that can actually marshal the back four. Semmens must make that money available or we will be leaking goals all season ,they are out there so get on with it.

Southampton v Burnley Your Report added at 19:36:01 Saints showed great fighting spirit to come back from 0.2 down,we were very hesitant at the start, and suddenly found themselves behind, the quick reply was the key to get back into the game. Once we up the tempo we were the better side, and could easily been in front before the break. Second half we managed the game and deservedly went in front, and in truth could easily have won more comfortably . Apart from some poor marking earlier in the game, it’s was generally a good team performance . Special mention for Armstrong, ings redmond, and Forster who all had good games, not forgetting vestigaard who was a tower in defence, four more points will make us safe, although probably 36 points might already be enough. Let’s go to WBA keep the momentum going , get a result then on to Wembley, where we can be a handful for Leicester, we are a better side than our position suggest, and Leicester would be foolish to underestimate us ,we can definitely beat them on our day, and yes this could be our year. .

Southampton v Brighton and Hove Albion Your Report added at 17:43:57 To be fair to Forster he kept it at 1.1 just before half time when the Brighton lad should have scored. The first goal was down to Bertrand none challenge on dunk, giving him a free header, the second was poor marking by bednarek losing his marker, even McCarthy would not have save that. It was a poor performance all round, it’s easy to blame the keepers. Bertrand gave McCarthy no cover for Man City first last week also. Certain players are not doing their job, and it’s costing us dearly . Brighton wanted it more than us ,we need to show more passion in the coming weeks or we will be in a dog fight with Fulham , Newcastle and Brighton.
