| News Comment | Sources Say Southampton Have Made Decision About Russell Martin at 08:49:00
This is rubbish we can tell we have had 14 games so far this season and looked poor in all of them we got lucky against Everton in the league we struggled against cardiff, stoke in the cups doesnt that say it all the system doesnt work to give him more games is acceptance of relegation or head in the sand. Maybe thats the plan then they can sell whatever they can , no money will be spent so they can recover there money to keep the other clubs going goztepe, valeciennes etc and try to re build again , but we wont have the players this time we will end up like Norwich mid table mediocre championship side at least it will be exciting as its probably our level Bournemouth and Brighton and Brentford are bigger more forward thinking than Saints we are a shadow of the club we used to be in the 80's and 90's. even under poch and koeman and puel . |
| News Comment | Southampton V Wolverhampton Wanderers The Verdict at 11:27:10
We can all blame VAR as much as we like , yes it hasnt helped us this year ipswich, leicester, and wolves all games where we dropped points due to VAR , but the fact is we have nothing up front we are comical , we are actually worse than last year in a lower division . i didnt rate Che Adams that highly but to replace him with a no expeirience kid from villa reserves is pathetic, Look at what Wood is doing at Forest thats what you need. But we are saints and we dont buy anyone we cant sell on thats why we will go down i will not go to another game while SR are still in charge and this senseless strategy of possession based football with no cutting edge . Saints are clearly the worse team in the top 2 divisions let alone the premiership . Even Portsmouth would smash us if we played them now look at what oxford did pre season. Harwood Bellis, KWP, Ramsdale, Downes , Dibling will all go after this season when we are relegated , Onuachu,sulimana, Armstrong, Aribo, lallana will leave on a free out of contract or near to so the hope of going down and keep building is pathetic as it wont happen we will go down again if we stick with this lot in charge. Ankerson needs to go recruitment has been rubbish since hes come in with his money ball recruitment. we will be so adrift by the new year the way its going. The crowd numbers spoke for itself in the cup ground not even half full 2 stands were closed FFS people are speaking with there feet . |

Bang on halftime yet again, come on its about game managment in the 45th minute that should of had a boot through it up towards half way line no ifs or buts youve had a whole half to play out from the back to conceed like that is criminal against 10 men . Second half display: Edozie must look like a world beater in training totally in effective on matchday no end product at all , sugawara look 10 times better on the over lap in first half . really needed a target man to upset their defence why oh why was onuchi (tall paul ) not at least on the bench total ineffective management . |
| News Comment | Juventus Confirm Carlos Alcaraz Signing at 07:39:39
If we dont go up this season wait for the fall out over this transfer , too many ifs and buts for it to be a success . i expect him to come in the summer not interested in saints as hes now been at a big club , juve wont buy him and he will end up going out on loan again as he will refuse to play . |
| News Comment | Sheffield United Interested In Southampton Striker at 10:40:50
needed to go out on loan at championship level last year , would have developed and toughened up a bit more like tella a bit playing more cant just play 10 minutes each week and expect to develop. He has stagnated while at saints |
| News Comment | Southampton At Middlesbrough The Verdict at 10:29:37
Rudderless floating down the river thats what we look like with no captains and leaders on the pitch . There is no organising ,no one giving anyone a shout a bunch of kids god how we need a dean hammond/ Steve davis/ Jose Fonte type figure . We have truelly ballsed up in this transfer window not getting someone or 2 or 3 in like this once again just like last year untried kids. For all this i blame the Board not the manager Jason willcox should know better . |
| News Comment | Saints Forward Commits Himself To The Club Next Season at 10:16:57
It could just work , with Armstong , Tella and either Adams or Gyokeres up front with Smallbones providing quick forward passes . when ever i saw smallbones play he was always forward thinking and wanted to pass it quickly unlike most of the current squad who fiddle and diddle and end up going backwards . smallbones and Alcaraz could provide the ammunition where we play them and in what shape i dont know . above all the ball needs to be played quickly at all levels and we just cant do that at the moment is it |
| News Comment | Will Saints Suffer A Backlash At Manchester United On Sunday at 10:59:31
i think all us realists know there is a back lash coming , but hopefully just like many years ago when fergies team lost 5-0 at newcastle came to saints the following week expected to hammer the saints but they lost 6-3 so you never know miracles can happen . |
| News Comment | Plenty Of Tickets Left For Grimsby Game at 11:38:29
Getting to Southampton for an early kick off 7.15 doesnt work even when its a 7.45pm many are still out side as the roads into Southampton from surrounding areas north Hampshire and Berkshire are a nightmare. Also its live on the TV and as has been shown in other games Saints dont look too clever against lower league opposition which is a worry for next season in the championship ??. I think given the dross of this season all season ticket holders should have been given a free ticket . |
| News Comment | Southampton V Manchester City The Carabao Cup Verdict at 13:15:57
well done southampton , when i saw the young french lad up front i worried for him , but credit to him he has now got his goal and did press quite well up front , Armstrong also found his role of the press and played really well , we still need an experienced guy up front to lead the line as Che did look pedestrian when he came on but held the ball up well in the corner at the end . Well done to the mid field and the back 4/5 as they played out of their skins and got tough with City we will need many more games like this if we are to survive but its a start and Nathan deserves his nights sleep now before the Everton game . We need to be physical with everton on saturday just like they did to us earlier in the season . COYS |
| News Comment | Southampton V Arsenal The Verdict at 14:42:53
Lyanco is what saints are all about heart and effort , we do not have the world class players needed to outplay and steam roller teams at this level . so we have to win the battle first . AKA the old days of the dell with Benali/magilton/Dodd/Monkou and co . i do think defenders need to be able to defend first then attack if there is time and space and for too long defenders ( full backs ) are used as wingers. yesterday if walker peters had been fit i dont think he would have coped with the physicality of Arsenal down the flank . Caletta Carr is coming on now and will get better so i am looking hopeful for the future. We still need to score goals and i cant see where they are coming from especially against teams who sit back against us . considering JWP ( set piece expert) with the amount of corners we get we score very little goals from them . I cant remember the last time we did?. But well done to the team yesterday it really made my day . |
| News Comment | Ralph Hasenhuttl Drops Down To 2nd Place In Sack Race Odds at 11:20:35
The major problem was we didnt get that centre forward in the summer to replace Broja and Long that is criminal and not Ralphs fault , once the dutch guy didnt happen should have gone and got INGS or someone with some presence up front like Goykeres at coventry to not get anyone is just wrong and we are now seeing the affects with only one striker on the books hardly prolific Che Adams . |
| News Comment | Southampton Linked With Swansea City Midfielder at 11:02:53
no not for us , why oh why do we keep looking at small neat little players even Man City realise this and mix it up with physicaility de bryne, fenandinho, walker, stone , etc and they have quality all round we need to have a more physical team to be able to cope with the premeirship as we dont have the quality on the ball they have so we need to battle first , win that then play your football just like we did under Poch and Koeman |
| News Comment | Should Saints Go For Alex Oxlade Chamberlain From Liverpool ? at 10:56:35
i would get him if it was a sensible fee or have him on loan for the season with a view getting a permanant deal at the end of when he is a free agent, but need to offload a couple first like walcott, and maybe redmond or dnepo to release the wages to pay him . |
| News Comment | Southampton Agree Gavin Bazunu Deal With Manchester City at 09:00:01
I really hope we havnt blown the transfer budget on a back up/ future first team keeper. Will we now have to sell JWP to get the Experienced Centre back , Striker ( 6' + who scores goals) , Centre Midfielder ( ball winner with some height) we desperately need . I really hope those positions havnt been filled with Jack Stephens (FFS) Shane Long ( omg) Diallo ( average squad player) |
| News Comment | Southampton At Brentford The (Damning) Verdict at 11:44:19
Agree with the write up yes i watched the whole game and couldnt understand the omission of romeou as we need to compete in the midfield and as for not playing Lyanco instead of bednerek or alongside is shameful. as Brentford just outmuscled saints all over the pitch . And i agree italian football would be best for bednerek , not as fast paced and the strikers not as physical as long as we get £20m plus for him would be glad to see him go as you can clearly see he cannot read the game and doesnt know what to do when he gets the ball at his feet which is shocking in this day and age at this level . We need someone like Dan Burn or Lewis Dunk that sort of mould . |
| News Comment | What Does Next Season Hold For Armando Broja at 13:22:17
I would pay 10m for broja as i think he has all the assetts that you need to survive in the top flight , strength, speed and skill and can strike a ball and above all height which is what we have lacked for a few years . Che Adams has been poor in recent weeks and has had 3 years here to get it right this lad ( Broja)looks twice the player he is and as for Adam armstrong once again great skill and can strike a ball but too small and easily pushed off the ball we need height around him for him to survive similar to Pelle for Mane and Lambert for Lallana . |
| News Comment | Southampton V Crystal Palace The Preview at 10:52:28
Agreee with this team give tella and redmond a go along with Che and Adam Armstrong up front . Stuart Armstrong drifts in and out of games and Elynoussi has been poor recently doesnt track back . |
