Twelve months ago we showed Jonathan Coates the Vetch Field door. After a brief spell at Cheltenham and Woking we signed him back. Many (myself included) wondered why. Coates has natural talent, the problem is he seems afraid or unwilling to use it. All so often people become frustrated with his attitude on the pitch and while that showed great improvement on the last day of last season when it really mattered, he has to do that week in week out. I honestly don't believe that this guy is the answer to what we need but at the same time I will be quite happy to be proved wrong. To me, 230 league appearances in 10 years (50%) says it all? I'd love to say it is make or break for Coates this season but I am sure that has been said before. |

Saints V Stoke City A Look Back In Pictures 2In the second part of our pictorial look back at some of our games against Stoke City from the past, here we look back at more recent games, so most of you would have been at them.
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.
A Rough Guide To Leicester City FCSaints head up to Leicester City this evening with their automatic promotion hopes just about over, so for the 3,000 fans who bought their tickets when there was hope here are the details.
Southampton At Cardiff City The VerdictThere can be no excuses for this defeat, a loss that effectively means that it will be a play off spot and not an automatic promotion place for Southampton, so where did it all go wrong.
