Set pieces - again
at 13:18 23 Dec 2024

But it doesn't necessarily have to be a cross.

We could play it short, or out to a player on the edge of the area.

Keep the opposition guessing; we just don't have that variety or element of surprise about us.

Set pieces - again
at 11:51 23 Dec 2024

I really feel we have suffered with not having a dedicated set-piece coach.

With us creating so little in open play, we simply have to be more of a threat from set-pieces.

We had a number of corners in the second-half, but never looked like scoring from any of them.

There is very little imagination in our corners. You look at some of the goals Boscombe have scored from set-pieces, and they are clever, you can tell they properly practise them.

Marginal gains and all that nonsense has rarely seemed so apt.

5 things about Fulham

The ref was indeed horrendous.

As they all seem to be in this League.

I particularly approved of the "coont with a whistle" song. Hope that came across on the TV.

Have we a new Manager yet?

We’re doomed.

No mention of Moyes or Cooper, by far the best two options.

Jones was Ankersen’s choice.

Selles was Semmens’ choice.

Martin was Wilcox’s choice.

I just hope it isn’t bloody Parsons’ turn to have the choice. He has ruined everything else he has touched.

10-Year Plan and the 5 Pledges

Where are we at with these?

I think we should demand the publication of the pledges.

I know I can count on the support of FranniesTache on this key initiative.

It is all about reference points, as Ankersen so proudly advised, when describing what drew them to the magnificent appointment of Nathan Jones.

Of course, when our away fans had such a hellish journey to and from that game, where the oppo keeper didn’t have a single save to make, who wouldn’t begrudge our brave warriors some richly deserved liquid refreshment?

A New Name In The Hat For Southampton Managerial Vacancy

I'm not sure a club owned by a Serb would employ a Croatian as its manager.

Who Do You Want For The Next Saints Manager
at 14:04 17 Dec 2024

It was remiss of me to overlook that Corberan could hardly have been expected to get the better of Saints, when we had Super Sekou running riot like prime Drogba in both the games at The Hawthorns.

He's done pretty well everywhere he has been despite having no money to spend.

He achieved miracles at Huddersfield in almost getting them promoted.

You're right about the results against West Brom, though I thought we were lucky to beat them at home in the League, and we could easily have lost at their place in the play-offs.

Southampton Need To Unite The Supporters With Next Manager Appointment

I wouldn't put it past Phil Parsons to put a £3 million bet on Graham Potter after we have already appointed somebody else.

I have always rated Steve Cooper.

Thought it was utter madness for Leicester to sack him, but he seemed to be tainted by his connections to Forest.

He’s an excellent manager.

He also fell out with Vestergaard at Leicester, so he gets a double thumbs-up from me.

It’s quite surprising how young he is given how long he seems to have been around in the game.

He’s only 35.

Makes me feel rather old…..

The moment I saw him suited up at the play-off final was when I feared this day would come.

Not as if he is ever fit enough to play.

Cheap option, no compo to pay.

Ticks a lot of boxes for the brainless board.

Sigh.
