Southampton At Birmingham City The Verdict
at 08:59:49

Stephens has only played in 1 match out of the 7 defeats this season.
Great game, great win. Downes is the key man.

Southampton V Hull City The Verdict
at 16:51:42

Smallbone was played out of position.
He's never a defensive midfielder.
I don't see why Martin put him there.
I believe he's scored more goals than Flynn Downes or Stuart Armstrong.
Smallbone is a number 8 and that's it.
For me it was the lightweight midfielders offered no outlet for our struggling defence against an excellent Hull press.
. Should have played Charles or Aribo instead of Rothwell

Southampton At West Bromwich Albion The Verdict
at 00:07:22

They'd won 5 on the bounce at home and scented blood after our defeat at Bristol City, but when Corberan got sent off it felt like a momentum shift.
Armstrong A was the only poor performer.
Armstrong S MOTD.

January Transfer Window Mixed Bag For Southampton
at 11:21:51

One day Nick Jack Stephens will depart this club and once the celebrations have ended you can stop "shoehorning" your articles about the fact you don't rate him.
I think we we get it now mush!
Holgate wasn't very good in general when he played.
But he would obviously not be content in being a 4th choice CB at a Championship club.

Southampton V Watford The FA Cup Preview

They've brought back Den Dennis on loan from Forest.
If he plays, I've got a feeling he'll tear us a new ars* hole.

Back where he felt wanted.. Loved.
Top player on his day.

Southampton V Sheffield Wednesday The Verdict
at 11:35:54

I Understand why you picked A. Armstrong as the MOTM, and there were plenty of other worthy contenders.
I though Smallbone was excellent and it was nice to hear Martin single him out in the post match interview.

Mason Holgate Departure From Southampton Dependent On Everton Financial Demands Being met.

As Nick says the manager will have his favourites, as all managers do.
This applies to Ryan Manning , not popular with a big chunk of the fanbase but rated by Martin.
Personally I tend to go with the view that I may have my opinion on players but I suspect the manager knows more about them and how they fit into the style of play and their character than we will ever know.

Southampton Come Through December Period Strong & Getting Stronger
at 17:25:33

Nothing wrong with fans voicing their concerns or being critical of players on forums like this.
In the stadium it's a different matter.
You back the players 100% during games, if not then you cannot describe yourself as a fan as it doesn't make sense to me to make the very people you are hoping to deliver a win feel bad about themselves.

They sadly do exist though... Normally arms folded and awaiting the first mistake or sideways pass to set them off.
I appreciate tension at a game can bring out the worst in people.
It just amazing to me that some long time fans in particular dont realize that you can't have it all your own way in a game of football.
Sometimes the pesky opponents want to try and stop us and win the game as well!!

Southampton V Plymouth Argyle The Verdict
at 14:31:02

Nice match report Nick.
It's good to see Edozie getting back and defending as it was his achilles heel in earlier performances.
Great time to be a Saints fan, I'm loving it.
To echo San Marco, thankyou to Nick for running this site and all the best to my fellow posters.

Southampton V Plymouth Argyle The Preview
at 09:59:23

Patience could be keying this game.
Nine goals scored and none conceded in our last two home matches will likely mean we'll be facing a massed defence and the potential of alot of sideways passing and probing which I appreciate is to not everyone's taste.

Im a little worried that their winger Whitticker (12 goals) will get behind our defence on the counter...
2-2 tonight for me.

Southampton At Queens Park Rangers The Preview
at 10:11:19

Nick, I'm not quite sure why you keep on mentioning the subs in the Blackburn game.
We were 2 nil up when we made changes.
We finished the game 4 nil plus a missed penalty.
What exactly is the issue?

Southampton V Cardiff City The Verdict

Most enjoyable game I've been to this season.
We were so confident and you could sense the players were in total control.
Always good to see our more vilified players beginning to play well and silence the critics...i include myself.
Manning, Aribo and to a lesser extent Mara all did well yesterday.

Southampton V West Bromwich Albion The Verdict

Great result and a decent performance.
We missed Smallbone when he went off and conceded control of the midfield to a big , strong side .
The only player who disappoints me is Sulemana, he should be getting on the scoresheet and creating more with his pace.
Blimey where have all the frothers n foamers and the moaners n groaners gone?
Come and enjoy the party lads!!

James Bree Proves That The Depth Of The Squad Is Vital For Southampton
at 18:23:48

Bree has done well. Solid but unspectacular.

Interesting to see what happens when Larios finally regains match fitness.

I agree that Manning gets alot of unfair stick, he would look alot better with a back three protecting him and then he can show his attacking strength down the left side..

Hull V Southampton Showed The Refereeing Standards In England Are At An All Time Low
at 10:26:13

I think the Refs and lino's do a good job.
I certainly don't think the standard is any worse or any better than than some glorified past.
For some reason fans seems to focus in on the Referee's performances much more than they used to.

I'd much rather live with their mistakes than endure VAR ruining the Championship.

Southampton V Leeds United The Verdict
at 14:20:01

Great win.
We are hopefully learning that to win lots of games or a least get a draw.
You need a team of fighters and everyone has to win duels and get back behind the ball when you are under the cosh.
If you do this every game eventually our better quality will open up the opposition.
This is what we did last time we got promoted out of this league.

I agree too that we should give him more time.
