Missied chances last season cost us our PL place Missed chances this season looks like costing us an automatic promotion It could also cost us a play off promotion
How many matches have there been when we only play one half Sometimes the first sometimes the second I do wonder if the coaching team give them too much information at half time which leaves them confused |

Jack Stevens MotM????
This was a game where choosing anyone was almost impossible Not on Saints player excelled They looked leggy and almost dissinterested
Despite that they managed to create 4 good chances Che one on one with the keeper again and again he fails to score He must have a mental block now He should have been replaced at half time and possibly replaced by Aribo who has the knack of scoring when it's bobbing about in the 6 yard box
Sulemana in my book is a very quick talented player who used to beat defenders with his pace Now he seldom trys to take anyone on Is natural talent being coached out of him?
This result probably makes the play offs the more likely route back to the prem |

The classic game of two halves. In the first they played us like a fiddle Their press worked ours didn't Their passing was quick and accurate ours was slow and inaccurate
Then came the substitutions. In recent seasons we have been critical of substitutions made Today however everyone of them worked Brilliant management
If Haaland had scored that first goal TV channels around the globe would be replaying it 50 times a day
22+3 still unbeaten
Playing football the Southampton way |

I hope Luke Williams can get Swansea playing like they did the last half hour today They have got Leeds, Ipswich and Liecester coming up so could do us a massive favour or three |

The first half was sublime much like the game against SW last week. The second half less so especially after Stevens came on I just fail to see the attraction that RM does.
Stu Armstrong didn't reach his own high standard today but even a bit below par he still manages to be involved in so many good moves
The standard of the assistant refs was pretty poor Our second and their goal should have been ruled off side Trouble is those gaffs encourage those who want VAR Let the fans decide on its introduction and I can almost guarantee it would be scraped Refs and players reaching retirement see it as jobs for the boys |

Some weary performances in this one Energy levels need to be topped up pretty quick Our squad depth is now coming to the fore andRM is managing it well.
Another win to savour especially when added to the Leeds and Ipswich results |

The back four looked much better with Bree and KWP that way around
Downes is so influential I hope we can turn his loan into a transfer in January
Stu was back to his best and Aribo is turning into a keeper He won so many tacles today
Please find us another goal scorer who can stick away the multitude of chances
I don't think anyone can fault that today It was a top class dominant performance by the whole team including the subs We can look forward to seeing more performances like this as they get even more accustomed to Rusty all |

We created more chances last night They were not clear cut chances but they were better than half chances AA could and perhaps should have had a hat trick
Manning really isn't a quality defender. Once again his error led to their goal. If we had a fit alternative natural LB the perhaps he would be replaced It says something when a RB plays better than him in the wrong position
Kammy should be replaced by either Fraser or Edozie we missed the width that he gives
I don't get those that criticize the style of play Don't just ball watch but look for the movement of players It is quite intricate at times Some will point to LCFC with envy but their style of play is exactly the same Unfortunately they have better finishers than us
I am not a gambler but I am tempted to have a punt on promotion via the play offs If you think I would be throwing money down the drain the offer me odds |

Cardiff never looked like a team who until recently were in the top 6 They allowed us to knock it about at will Would have been a great day if one of the top 3 had dropped points
We saw a bit of quality off the bench as well In particular Aribo must be close to getting a start
Keep playing like this and we will do a Sunderland to somebody |

Does RM give them to much information at half time? They just appear to be thinking of other things for the first 15 minutes of every second half
An away point is always welcome but it is an opportunity missed
On the plus side we are a point nearer Ipswich |

WBA presented us with the toughest challenge in this run of undefeated games and after AA put us ahead we had to dig in and grind out the result
THB was my MotM A couple of times he jumped head and shoulders higher than anyone else and never got phased by the pressure
It was a game were so many put in top performances
Don't you just hate the timing of the international breaks |

We're we 'lucky" again. Adam Armstrong had the left the field of play without the ref permission the way he came back on and played the ball that would otherwise have gone out for a corner could have been classed as ungentlemanly conduct
This is exactly the sort of run we need to start hauling in Ipswich and LCFC
I am very impressed with the players support and liking of RM's game plans and style They all seem to buy into it |

Anyone watching championship football would be proud of that first half performance As near to total dominance as you will get I imagine Rooney gave them a right rollicking at half time and it showed They were quicker and stronger for the first 20 minutes of the second half and we're bouyed up by the goal
We weathered the storm and regained control and the third goal made it a comfortable finish
Overall pleased with the way we appear to be forming partnerships all over the pitch and getting to grips with the possession game which still needs to be operated with a bit more speed

I didn't see the game only listened on Solent but the next few days will be much better because of that result And I don't care if we were lucky |

First my best wishes to the fan who collapsed and if reports that he didn't make it my condolences to his family
I thought after the last 2 games tha we had changed to playing positive possession football But that didn't last Today we were back to negative possession football The second half was on the verge of being boring
When they scored why was Baz on the edge of the box when we didn't have the ball? I know it's the risk you take when you ask the keeper to also be the sweeper but he should have been further back
Che Adams is doing his best to get a Jan transfer and I just hope Stewart can hit the ground at full speed
Can I ask anyone on here who boos our own to please stop and if you sit near anyone who does ask them not to If we had scored a winner it would have gone down as the best performance this year

Our defense finally looked compact and confident Bellis definitely had his best game to date
Russ has previously used St A, Alcaraz and Kamaldeen as subs. Many fans felt they should be startérs because we have tended to look better in the last 20 mins when they are on
Today proved it We started on the front foot and made it pay The only other change I would want in the starting 11 would be Charles for Smallbone just because I think he is a more positive player |
| Your
Report | Southampton v Ipswich Town Your Report added at 11:23:25
We made 2 big mistakes in this game One was punished one we got away with Charles we now know is a better DMF player than he is a CB
Stu Armstrong always influences play so should start along with Alcaraz and Charles in MF
Up front it's the same old same old missed chances Can Stewart be the answer Probably not on his own |

Downes and Smallbone did very little wrong but the totally failed to stamp their authority on the game
In any way
The chances we did get we're almost accidental and no one was prepared to put their body on the line or take responsibility
Martin is on the verge of losing the crowd and another home defeat on Tuesday will just about do it |
| Your
Report | Sunderland v Southampton Your Report added at 17:50:25
I put this hammering down to Russell Martin's team selection
Mara ahead ofAlcaraz or Fraser should never have happened
Holgate as a right sided CB ahead of Charles who has done so well there
Baz again failed to cut out crosses
Manning out jumped by Bellingham who was then given time to put in his cross for the second goal
Coming on as a sub when you are already three down can't be easy but the subs didn't work hard enough to suggest they should be starters
A lot of players away next week but the coaches have 2 weeks to work on a game plan because if they don't it could be another thumping by an inform team |
