Match Report By Andy Donaghue |
| The swans finished their pre-season friendlies with a lacklustre performance against a average but over physical Woking side. After a scrappy opening the first opening fell to the home side when Terry Evans miscued a clearance towards the top corner only for marsh to pull of a finger tip save to keep the scores level.
The swans continued to spray the ball wide but lacked a creative through ball and struggled to carve up any openings. the swans finally broke the deadlock when on 20mins a cross from the right was headed back from the far post by Theobold and Thomas was unmarked to head the ball home.
The home side rallied after that and a 50/50 challenge left James Thomas being carried off which didn't look to good. the second half saw block substitutions with six coming on for both sides and game became a poor spectacle for it and this gave both managers a chance to view fringe players.
a opinion-
After watching 4 games now this season it seems cusack's formation of 3-5-2 seems to be set in concrete. my only problem with this is the club as no natural wingbacks and in my view will be a problem. secondly we have no creative midfielders which leave our pattern of play very predictable. on the positive side we have a organised defence which does appear to play to deep on occasions but I can't see us conceding to many. |

Southampton V Stoke City The PreviewSaints go into the last two games of the season with their hopes of automatic promotion ended, even the hope of finishing 3rd is only a point away from being ended, but they do have something to play for and that is getting back the togetherness, character & fight Russell Martin has recently be moaned.
No Togetherness No Character No FightNot my words, but those of Southampton manager Russell Martin, who should ask himself the question why two months ago we had all those attributes and now we don't !
Southampton At Leicester The DebacleThe big question is how can a side that was so tight at the back, so clinical up front and who could pass the ball around almost with their eyes closed, become the disorganised rabble that they were at the Leicester City this evening.
Southampton At Leicester City The PreviewSaints travel up to Leicester knowing that it is almost certain that they will just be in the play offs come the end of the season, however there is still the feint hope of 3rd place to play for, however the Foxes are playing for a bigger prize.
