Southampton V Sheffield Wednesday The Verdict
at 18:30:47

A few points
Comments on social media that sports republic weren’t interested in us getting promoted & were about draining money from the club have been put to bed.
The boring analogy comparing Russel Martin with Nathan jones & a🤡 have also gone quiet.
Saints brand of football being tippy happy & negative, we may have started off slowly but it can’t be used to describe us now..
Are we good enough if we get promoted? Probably not, the difference between the two leagues is getting bigger ( look at Burnley) but we can only deal with that a progress if we get there

Southampton At Norwich City The Verdict
at 18:23:43

That’s a really good sum up of the game,being disappointed with an away draw says plenty.
Overall if we’d said 4 games ago that we’d be a win away from Ipswich & levelled the goal difference we would have taken it

Just watched there ‘ goal ‘ again in detail after reading the comments.The player who received the ball on the wing wasn’t offside.Central defender clearly in front of him when the ball is played.
Saying that I thought we thoroughly deserved to win,playing at a great tempo.Putting to bed the opinion that it’s boring to watch.

I think you’re are correct that our team would struggle in the premier league but just take a look at the three teams promoted last year! Burnley. Walked away with the league & yet are really struggling to adapt.
I think we have to concentrate on this league now , grow as a team & a club & concern over next season when we know where we are.

I think you’re wrong on the subs in the Blackburn game .Ipswich have developed there lead in less than half the season s o they can be caught in the second half of the season & with that will come the goal difference.You keep saying it’s a marathon not a sprint & a war of attrition, so with that in mind the squad has to be rotated & utilised, when is JS going to get game time ? He’s surely going to be needed as injuries & suspensions occur.

Saints Summer Sale To Start On Saturday
at 10:25:39

Personally I don’t believe that SR wanted us to be relegated, look at how much they spent in January trying to avoid relegation.Misguided spending most definitely & I also believe if Ralph was given those funds in January he would if done a far better job than NJ & RS.
As you say nick we can’t change the past so I feel we should build around Bazuna , livramento, Alcaraz , smallbone, tella , edozie & so on .If certain players want to leave then surely we must achieve absolute top dollar for them, then use these funds wisely unlike January.

Southampton At Manchester United The Verdict
at 09:59:46

I thought it was our best performance since the Man City fane & there were signs of us playing at our best when under Ralph.My first instinct watching with live game nerves was a draw was about right but having watched motd we had by far the more chances. The whole team played well, Lavia was outstanding & there were glimpses of sulemana being a good threat ( not convinced about tall Paul).
Against Chelsea & Leicester I felt we ride our luck but yesterday we played with identity, let’s hope it’s not a false dawn

A couple of add ons
Peter x it’s the hope that kills you .
I think it was right to loan out tella but should have called him back in January. The same with Stephens , even if you don’t play him it would weaken relegation rivals

Perhaps Selles is one of those lucky managers, for me this game was similar to the Chelsea win . It could easily have been 4-2 against but we fought really well , played & defended for the manager.In my opinion Bazunu should be rested, I’m sure he’ll be a great keeper but he’s not pl ready and WC could steady nerves.Apart from the big errors yesterday let’s not forget last week’s against Leeds & Brighton.
Let’s hope this win breeds some confidence but it might not be a good time to go to OT

Southampton At Everton The Verdict
at 13:59:40

A few points
Nick , the Everton defender did start to move back towards the goal on the free kick but it was a half hearted effort.
I like most thought we were doomed after the forest game but what a turnaround. The palace game was one of those where things just went our way but sometimes you need that .Man City was a revelation & proud of our team.
Everton was50/50 great character & spirit but could have gone either way & personally I felt we were better against Fulham.
There’s a long way to go but we go into it with pride & spirit

Southampton V Nottingham Forest The Verdict
at 11:57:11

Personally I didn’t want Ralph sacked but understand why he had to go with the expression’ be careful what you wish for’ ringing alarm bells when others said he was clueless.With the decision made you have to move on and give the new man a chance.Now I’m very much the optimist but last night was shocking.Che Adams looked like he’s not interested & the whole team had no structure or strategy , lump it forward and Hope for the best.
I’m not keen on hire & fire but can’t see NJ changing things . Hope I’m wrong

Watt View - Wrong choices and poor decisions result in missed opportunity at Molineux
at 18:03:03

A couple of points here
substitutions are massive in today’s football, hence five are now allowed and particularly with the way saints play.
Secondly there’s no accounting for che’s miss & you certainly can’t judge the manager on that .
On a personal opinion I don’t think Adam Armstrong is quite good enough at the top level,of course he puts in a massive effort but for me he makes to many wrong decisions at crucial times

Watt View - A mixed bag but turnaround is a starting point
at 23:26:50

Itchen north,
I don’t believe we just switched off for the goals,in the first half Patrick Hanford had a carbon copy situation of there first goal but misse the target & they also worked the same corner in the first half , which resulted in a weak header they should have scored from.with that in mind I felt we were very naive.I do agree we will get better with massive positives from Bella kotchap, lavia, bazuna, aribo & Mara ( apologies for any spellings it’s late )
Thought che looked off the pace & a little disinterested but really believe the new youngsters can build something

Dembele Once Again Linked With Saints But Armstrong Set To Stay
at 11:13:31

Tend to agree mostly with West Sussex saint .
I think although we’ve lost broja those goals could be covered by an improving Adam Armstrong, goals & more chances from aribo, a few more goals from Stu Armstrong.On the possible downside Jwp won’t necessarily score as many this season.Obviously I hope he does & some but last season was exceptional & no guaranteed this time.Another top forward really would be great but does dembele fit the profile?

Sékou Mara V Armando Broja The Comparisons Are Striking
at 11:36:22

In my humble opinion broja got worked , when he burst on the scene he was very difficult to handle but top players & the premier league generally soon suss strength’s & weaknesses. Most of his goals were very similar & when he was forced wide his choice of shoot or pass was poor . No doubt he’s got the attributes to develop but £30 million is too much for me, after all having him last season will
have show all pros & cons on the training ground

Hasenhuttl Highlights Saints Playbook In Success Of Youngsters And An Older Face Or Two
at 15:13:56

Surely football or sport are completely different from other walks of life because there are so many variables.To say a manager shouldn’t make a mistake is rather misguided.If that was the case every game would be a stalemate.
Sport is human / emotional therefore adapting to situations & learning from mistakes leads to success!

Southampton V Everton The Verdict
at 12:00:57

Excellent team performance, brushed the toffees to one side & looked like we still had another gear.Romeu & jwp were so dominant but that almost is expected as the norm these days.
Only fault would be we could of scored a couple more .
One point on broja, of course we want him and he is so powerfully quick over those first few yards but he really does have to learn that it’s impossible to score all the time . Therefore settling up his teammates is a much better option when he’s drawn the keeper out but created an impossible angle.This is being very critical but it happens every game
