This is nailed on. With Martin criticising HB after Leicester game (I think it was him he blamed ?), he will slot his favourite in. |

Just seen Martins comment, post match where he said, "Someone had a job to do...they didn't" I am on hols and didn't;t get to the game. I did see the 2nd half on a stream, but can't think who he was referring to ? Any idea ? Not a good sign to start slagging players off in public. Only one winner when that happens.

Do we never learn. We concede from a corner in 98th minute just like Ipswich Again we leave 2 players unmarked on edge of box. This is so naive. [Post edited 19 Oct 17:00]

I always hope England win, but must admit watching them is so tedious, whether under Carsley or Southgate. We have some very talented and exciting players, but like Martin, England have a knack of sucking the life out of the game. [Post edited 13 Oct 10:45]

If we bought him on a credit card, Section 75 of Consumer Credit Act may cover us ! |

Quote from Carsley interview post England game. "we have to be courageous with our systems " 'We tried something different, overload the midfield. It is something we tried for 20 minutes yesterday and experimented with it today. It did not come off today but maybe it was unrealistic to expect too much' He totally messed up. Introducing a formation that they only tried for 20 minutes, suggests he thought this game would be a walk in the park. Where have I heard this sort of crap before ? [Post edited 11 Oct 6:49]

I agree his stats are not brilliant based on game time to date. However, I don't recall him getting any sort of service in the games he played and we didn't;t play to his strengths. We could have had Haarland up front and it wouldn't have made any difference given how we set up and play. it's not as if he is going to take the place of an inform striker, so I hope he does get a chance. |

He certainly made an effort and showed some nice touches and movement. I would like to see him be given a chance. My fear is that he would be left up front on his own, with no service while we mess around in the middle and back. |

Nice try, but wasted on some ! Not everyone though, I am sure he will be back later after school has finished. |

How many times have you seen McCarthy play ? Guessing you missed the Newcastle game or the number of times in recent seasons he was beaten at the near post and from distance. These posts about Ramsdale are nothing more than 'clickbait. Time to ignore them.' [Post edited 5 Oct 18:41]

Been a few moments where we have messed around again and given ball away unnessaily, but can't fault the effort in 2nd half. Good to see tall Paul out there. Looks a handful up front. Just as type - 3-1. Sugawara screws up again in penalty box giving ball away. I like him, but he has been a liability today. Time to rest him. Frustrating as he was about to be replaced by Taylor.

2-1 Close call on VAR but Martinelli left totally unmarked at back by Sugawara. |

Great finish by Archer and superb pass from Fernandes. 0-1 Saints Update: 1-1. Well that didn't last long. :( [Post edited 5 Oct 16:18]

| Forum Reply | Jack Stephens Deserves Saints Fans Respect At This Time at 17:54 2 Oct 2024
I don't think loyalty comes into it. Stephens has had contracts at Saints that far exceed his ability, so he was never going to go anywhere. I am no fan of Martin, but fail to see how he has been hung out to dry by the Manager. After all Stephens is one of RM's favourites. The negative response since Stephens got sent off is all of his own making. [Post edited 2 Oct 18:12]

He has definitely raised his media profile since getting paid from Chelsea. Not sure I read too much into him being a pundit for our game, however, It was noticeable how he went very easy on any criticism of Saints. I would have him at Saints, but still have some reservations. He did a good job at Brighton but was blessed with some very good players. His time at Chelsea was a nightmare, and makes some compelling arguments for why it went wrong at Chelsea. However, he had a lot of very good players at Chelsea and failed to get the results their squad should have delivered. That was down to him. |

I think this is a valid point and I still believe many of this squad are good players. It is down to how we set up and style of play. It doesn't really matter who we have up front if there is no service, and the club are happy to play around with the ball in our own half creating nothing, and with an obsession with possession stats.
